just an idea

I saw this on another forum and I thought I would mention it here. Basically we take an acapella and anyone who wants to participate does there personal remix to it and then posts the remix. Then we can all vote on our favorite remix and we have a winner, only they don't really win anything but some respect I guess. I thought this might be useful in learning different styles and ways to remix shit.

The only issue is we need to figure out a way to make it legal to post that acapella so everyone can use it.

just a thought....anyone down?

Just pick an accessible acapella which can be found on itunes or any other online provider.

Why can't Rane post acapella on their white label site? Then we could have access. That is if Rane is down to participate
Dj Cassidy 5:31 PM - 5 March, 2007
yea whitelabel would be the spot to get the acapella. we just gotta get organized and do it...

So whats the next step?

I am at school right now but soon as I get home tonight I will figure something out. Maybe I'll post the acapella from the other forum cuz it was a tight song and the group is unsigned and putting their music out for free right now anyway.

alright here it is. It's a track by Wale. They put their mixtape up for free on myspace so legality should be cool.

Hmmm, a hip-hop track? I might be able to work with it, but next time could we get a house or trance acapella? =]

I'm busy with school work, then I'm starting my job, but if you could give me some time, I think I can whip something up.
dj nick dean 7:05 AM - 7 March, 2007
