    Hey TLM.
    Greetings from Brazil.
    I believe this one of the best acapella breakdown mixing tutorial I ever found here in RUclips.
    Keep doing this great job and sharing the knowledge you have.
    All the best.

    Great way to explain it with the visuals. I want to also add that any DJ will benefit from learning the basics of reading music, at least up to 16th notes and just for the counting aspects of it not necessarily the note pitches but that too will be a benefit. It helps a lot with the understanding how to count when you are trying to break a song down.

    The acapella is starting then "And of One". If people don't understand what that means you should check out TLM's video on how to count. I personally skipped over it so I have no idea if he goes over eighth notes, but you can always check online. Btw keep the tutorials coming TLM! Love watching them, even if it's something I know!

    Thanks for answering my question so quickly!
    Already saw the video on Wednesday, but could not react earlier.
    Was really helpful to understand that your first have to beatmatch the original song and that you can count 1-and-2-and-3-and-4!
    Now it's a matter of practicing.
    Merci broeder :)

  • @rudyrue07
    @rudyrue07 9 лет назад

    Hey big fan! The way I like doing it , (having both acapela and original song) is , visually or by ear placing the acapela version over the original( both vocals would be timed the same) then I'd manually (slowly) rewind both songs until I hit on the one with the original track, this will give me the correct timing from my the beat at one and the vocals, so I'd simply set a cue point on the acapela. Now you will be able to just simply wait for your beat at one and hit your cue on the acapela .. I hope I didn't throw you off, it's easier doing and explaing at the same time

  • @dopessongs3635
    @dopessongs3635 4 года назад

    I dont usually count,but I will rap it out and start the cue point where the flow lands on beat and bar. Only thing about that is it's missing the first part of the vocals.

    Thank you for this video! By the way, I still don't get it, what's wrong with acapella intro in "Peter Piper" by Run-DMC. I'm beatmatching, tempo is OK, but I just can't overlay it correctly on some other beat. It definitely starts not on the One.

    • @djTLMtv

    i used to use acapellas on other instrumental tracks, and some times the bpm of the acapella is not right, for example i have a track at 128 BPM, and when i got the acapella, i found out that it is at 180 bpm, and i found a solution, i use Traktor scratch pro 2, uder the Play botton, we have:
    Move
    Cue
    Grid
    when u clic grid, you will find some nice tools, like adjusting the grid and the BPM, i changed the bpm from 180 to 128, and when i hit sync it worked!
    i hope this help, and i have one request, i wanna know some infos about mixing in key and harmonic mix, because i want to start making mixs and uploading them on youtube, mixcloud etc... and thanks for the video bro!

  • @Thyst1
    @Thyst1 7 лет назад

    This is a great way to explain accappella mixing. I learned on vinyl back in the mid 80's so back then you just had to "feel" where to start it and you also had to know the original flow in relation to the track. I don't know what we are going to do about this new trap music that's already off beat to begin with tho. I guess us old G's will have to put these new cats on beat in the remixes! Lol. Let me stop before I start sum stuff here.

    hello dj tlm what about a hiphop accapella on a fast beat like edm ?

    • @djTLMtv
      @djTLMtv  9 лет назад +5

      +bongo You will have to speed up the acapella and/or slow doen the edm track

    • @Mattrixx
      @Mattrixx 9 лет назад +4

      If the acapella is slow enough to be half of the bpm of the edm track you can play it. If the Dj software you use also lets you double the speed of a song, you can double the bpm of the acapella. But not with the pitch slider, I mean by editing the speed of the song. I hope you can figure out what I mean but it's really hard to explain on here.

    • @JoyHoffi
      @JoyHoffi 7 лет назад +1

      If the Hip Hop acapella is about 65bpm, you can mix it with an 130bpm edm track
      Often done with afrobeat remixes

  • @DjMarroc6450
    @DjMarroc6450 10 лет назад

    The best thing to do with the acapellas that doesn't start at the one beat, is to sing it and counting with the fingers at the same time, by example, Calvin Harris - Flashback, "this is like a flashback" if you do it you will notice that the word "Back" downs on the 4 beat, that means that, you have to push play 3 beats before, if you want that to do a good acapella mix, because the 4 beat will be the firts beat to creat a good mix, I hope you can understand =D

  • @diplomatlik
    @diplomatlik 10 лет назад

    Great tutorial! One question; you mentioned that it's important to match the original track bpm that the vocals came from with the new instrumental that you want to put the vocals on..... but what if the original vocals were always acapella? And what I mean is my friend freestyled some lyrics with no music and recorded himself, he then sent it to me and asked me to make a beat for it, and this proved to be the hardest thing ever. Hope I explained my situation well enough,

    • @djTLMtv
      @djTLMtv  10 лет назад

      I understand exactly what you mean. You need to ask him if he was listening to a beat in his headphones when he recorded the vocals. If so, he needs to check the bpm of that beat.
      If he did not use a beat it is almost impossible to add music to his vocals because they will never be totally on beat. If you are rapping or singing without a beat the tempo of your vocals will fluctuate throughout the whole freestyle. Even if he was able to keep the tempo of his vocals real steady you would still have to manually adjust a lot of kicks and snares to follow his fllow (or play the entire beat live while listening to his vocals (but that would require good drumming skills on your end.

    • @hiphopsuperman
      @hiphopsuperman 3 года назад

      This is so late, but I figured I could tell you how I would do that. Maybe help someone else! When I’m listening to the acapella, I will tap along with hot cues every 4 beats. Then lay an analyzed instrumental on top, and play with the pitch until they line up, and Bam! Got your BPM!

  • @crybabytv5715

    Ey man! thanks for this VID! i just have a quick question! I'm having troubles mixing songs with lyrics! Somehow, i can't seem to find a way to mix 2 songs together without the vocals playing on top of eachother, i don't know how to sneak in the next song! i just usually wait until after the song finishes, HELP! some songs, after the DROP or chorus, the vocals come in immidieately! how do i mix those songs????

    • @mattchedzey
      @mattchedzey 9 лет назад

      +DJ NeilPatrick Most club versions of songs will have a beat intro. I'm guessing by the sound of your query that you are mixing R&B/Pop with no intros?
      There are a few different ways i would do it...
      1. Loop the last few bars of the song (just after the vocal) which you are mixing out of - thus giving you longer to drop the new song.
      2. Use a looped beat to blend in-between the two songs.
      3. Adjust your track selection so as two tracks like these aren't one after another.
      3. Drop mix. Or drop it "on the one" as DJ TLM would say.

    Love these tutorials! However, you don't talk much about acapella songs that are, in fact, truly acapella: take songs from Libera or Pentatonix or Take Six, etc. In those cases, there's no "original" song with a beat: you have to pull the beat from the chorus by itself.

      This could be more of a production thing than a DJing thing. People can do this by changing the tempo of a song in a software like audacity, from 125 to 110, as opposed to changing the pitch. Chaning BPMS over 30 beats can distort the audio however

    Well tutored. Even though this comes natural to me I still watch these videos because you seem to have a nack of explaining stuff. If someone asked me to explain how I would have got that mixed perfect I would have just said I don't know it's by ear.

    where do you get instrumentals from?

    • @djTLMtv
      @djTLMtv  10 лет назад

      DJ pools often have instrumental verslons. When it comes to older songs I have a lot of 12 inch singles and they always had instrumental version too
