Hey, made a mashup of 3 versions of Da Bootleggers - Bitches & Ho's - Original Mix, Damage Remix (Trap) and the Digital Punk Remix. Thanks to Maneki Neko for helping me improve it

Hope you will like it

Hey Hawl, before I heard your mash-up I had only known the Digital Punk refixx, now I know two more versions of it. You made it rather well to always put one part of a track and then a part from another version of the track. That means, although it's always the same track (Bitches & Ho's) there's a cool variety in it

And now mine: I made it in only one hour and it's my first mash-up ever. I wanted to make it for my next mix and this new thread by Darycka convinced me to do it today. I just love this powerful mid intro in Midnight and that atmosphere in Annihilating gave me the shivers when I heard it the first time. I don't really know if my mash-up is halfway decent but maybe someone likes the combination

Hey Katsching, thank you for the great feedback

I like the combination of those two tracks, they fit together great. The thing is when you're mixing two different tracks is that it's very easy to hear when you change from one track to another. The thing that makes those tracks change unfluently (yeah, that's how I'm gonna express it) could be the audio level of those two tracks. It's the same thing as when mixing, you would like them to change from one track to another as fluently as possible, and you would usually want the track to be at the same volume level, and you can actually see that on the wavelengths on soundcloud than annihilating is a bit louder than Midnight, so finding the spot where they are equal, and the wavelengths make it a lot easier. Another thing is that what you have done, is to cut out midnight very sharply you know what I mean? You could think on DJing again, what you could do is try to fade on track out either with a filter/EQ or by just turning the volume down. So here you could f.e. play 4 bars of the midnight intro thing while fading it out, since that will make it more fluently (It sounds best if those two tracks are in the same key, and I honestly don't know those two track very well so I don't know if that even is possible. The outro sounds weird to me too, don't know why. It sound like something is off beat or something, I don't know the tracks very well, so I honestly don't know why

EDIT: While looking at my own wavelengths I see that all the 3 tracks are at a different volume

Thanks for the feedback and of course for the information I get from your answer cause I'm not very into this. As I have already mentioned i made it for myself and only i one hour

Jonas · Post by **Jonas** » 11 Nov 2012, 22:04

Yeah, that's why I'm sharing what I know about this. I'm not some sort of superior myself, I'm honestly just a nerd who has been playing around in audacity for a long long time (I think I started making crap in audacity in an age of 11 or something)

sounds decent... but if you really want to make it good, try to work on the 'wholeness', some parts don't really fit well together, or change too randomly.
a good mashup should sound flawless at all points

for example:
2:25 the mashup comes with the break of Midnight
but this break runs up to the climax with a lead... and at 2:50 it changes to something else out of nothing... this technique doesn't really work well in this case... i'd cut away the midnight break and then end midnight intro with annihilating (from the drop)

i like the idea on 5:04, but try to make the parts clean when it switches... because it gets a little bit messy there
here are 2 ways to fix this:
- chop up the parts and paste them in between (will be a bit difficult to get it synced unless you've got welltrained ears)
or:
- run a cutoff or volume automation when the parts switch (that way one of the channels will be 'deactivated' for a specific area in the mashup)

here a few of my mashups:

and an older:
Tat & Zat vs The R3bels - Odissea Reaction (Pithune Mashup)

@Pithune,
Heard the first 3 already in our dropbox but your olderversion one.. thats the one i haven't heard. Therefore it's an older one i dont know if you want the feedback.

But here it is.
Oke the vocal of Reaction is a bit of i must say. And odissea sounds a bit stretched when the vocals are mixed in. Don't know if it was suppose to be but it bugged me

here is a small NC /Mashup/Tool

Enjoy as it is a free download.

@ Hawl, you're very welcome!

@Nuracore:
You really hear the effort you put in this one and I fucking love it. Thanks for sharing, I'll use this one too!

BUt I wouldn't call it just a mashup, its more like a Megamix in 4 minutes

Here's mine: (For all Geck-O fans^^) Better you directly Download it, zippyshare has a shitty player, it really sucks donkey balls and asses at the same time
And I suck at caring about BPM btw, for all those who want to use this

Done With Only Kicks is the best out of these three. I liked the interplay of kicks and FXs. the first one is actually nice as well! the breakdown fits the midintro perfectly

okay, my turn. just a small mashup of Bass Modulators - The Cube. I used the midintro/outro from the 2012 Edit and the main part - from Phuture Noize Remix.

The Mad Loud Tool mash up is really amazing

Nice Topic

A whole lot of nice Mashups in here. I like the Cube Mashup from Digital Audio Tape. But there´s a little click at the second transition to the Outro. If u fix that it would be really well done.

The Donkey Rollers vs Hard Driver & B-Front Mashup from ShadowInteraction is also really nice and well done. Realy smooth

The Track "Geck-O - It's Space Jam's Night (Maneki Neko Mashup)" will find it´s way to my next gig i think if it´s OK for you Maneki Neko.

Let me show u some of my mashups that i have uploaded at the Moment:
