You asked for opinions... i gave it. Saying not knowing there was a proper way to chop is like saying you didnt know there was a proper way to play guitar. There are techniques when it comes to all music theory. If you don't like criticism don't ask for it. You have to take the bad with the good.

Btw I am in no way trying to discourage the dude. Im just telling him hes trying to do it the really hard way. Lol

To me my version sounded good. But I chopped it to my liking. What I thought was a better chop for the BPMs. Bigpimpin did a version that was chopped right for the most part just matched thw bpms all kinds of weird. I will forever fuck with him about it. Lmfao

I am Absolutely IN LOVE with Ana Free's Covers. lol Just a taste Of mutiple Portuguese songs. 3:45 gives me chills every time. Another one that i think she did a good job of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7lj_gg1sDU That song is hard as FUCK to sing. i have never seen a good cover of that song. lol

audacity to slow the music. Virtual Dj to chop the music.You can either chop the music when its fast and then slow it... or slow the music and then chop it.Mixvibes pro v 3.11 was a good program but you have to figure out how to record. Some computers i've used can, some cant. Before you attempt it understand what im talking about when i say counts.If you can figure out the bpms you can adjust the bpms on each song on virtualDj and it will chop the songs perfectly.Good luck and dont let it discourage you.When you can chop your own music and people like it... its a GREAT feeling. dude i listened to cd's of all my chopping and screwing days from like ten years ago and i SUCKED back then.I only REALLY got back into when i starting lurking around this forum. I never knew how mainstream it became and how widespread it got FROM TX. I only screw and chop music that i cant find the way i like it. Sometimes its not slow enough or the chops are too fast.So i go back to getting down on my songs. I dont want to thread jack. I posted this a while back but the link was deleted due to inactivity.This is my version of dirty diana.dirty diana VDJ.mp3Now while some people might not like the way it sounds but again i did it MY liking. :)Some of the chops are off because i still get carried away with the crossfader but i was JUST getting back into doing it after a long period of time that i didnt.

Ok I'll try to put it gently... Technically you are not chopping anything. It is Almost impossible to achieve what you are trying to do with Audacity. I will repost a couple of comments i made on another thread. It explains it to where you might understand it. You want to chop those counts. you dont go: - Thats five counts now. Which is what's goin on with your chops. - is What you want to happen. The chops go forward a count and then back a count so you get the second count twice. Is that too confusing to anyone?lets say you want continuous chops for lets say a 8 count every other beat brought back once and then played at their spot in their actual real time place.Lets put this theory to music.The lucky charms theme....you dont go. thats too many counts lets say it's an eight count chopped every other count. say it in your head and see if it sounds right to you.The words don't finish but that's because they are in the middle of a count.I know i've completely confused everyone but i hope some one understood it.On top of everything i really only heard like maybe three chops on the first download. If you just referred to the act of slowing the music down as screwed and chopped then you made a mistake. Screwing(slowing) is the act of slowing it down. Chopping is the act of chopping the beats.

SHIT. Now i'm gonna have to start budgeting for these. LOVE my Sundown equipment. I doubt very highly that I'll be switching to competitors ANY timer soon. It would seem I'm a sundown guy for life. :clapping:

I would say yes and no. Yes because... well she seems like she may be into you... No because - You DO work together and if something happens then it would become an awkward environment. And that's not to mention that your company may have a policy against employees dating. I say stay a friend until she fucks around and let's you hit. That would take all the mystery out of it and help you decide what you wanna do. BTW - If you couldn't tell that last line was a joke. lol

Bro it was as simple as reading the comments... lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlAEzYyfCEQ

you know for a split second... i said "no fucking way someone would do that..." Clicked the pic and said... "the fuck?" lol I did LOL. Those things are fucking HUGE!

Lol i teared up as well. The dude has a huge heart and for sure sounded great. Hope the dude goes far.

You have to host your picture first. then post using the IMG tags provided by the hosting site. Tinypic.com works well for a single picture. Photobucket works best.

Mp4 to mp3 basicly. Try a program called Switchsound file converter. Google that name and it will give you a link. One of the best batch converting FREEWARE i've used.

OH SHIT. lol dont use virtual DJ to do anything besides chop and the dj effects. Leave the pitch tempo and speed alone on Virtual DJ. It just does not resample anything right. lol

Speed AND temp? lol wow... just use the speed. It will mix pitch and tempo well. I always use -15 speed sometimes more sometimes less. I dont fine tune with pitch or tempo. I just let the speed adjust resample for me.

Your song's tempo is slow as FUCK! With that being said use audacity to slow the SPEED and it will even out the pitch and tempo pretty well. The chops are pretty slow as well. It was a hard song to do in all honesty. Your friends songs pitch is a little off but the chops are perfect to me. The Flange is a little heavy look for "Flange lite" in virtual DJ's effects.(assuming that's what you are using.) All in all you want to resample the song to make the voice and music sound different. If the voice's pitch sounds the same just slow then you are not resampling right. Don't stop trying. It is a very good effort on your part but it does take practice.

The trick is to always use the crossfader. Keep the beat in your head. If you want a simple count use a 1-2 count. Start the first deck on the first count and start the second deck on the second count. Make sure your crossfader is RESTING on the second Deck you started. Now using that same count move the crossfader on the first beat and then back on the second. It helps to kind of get a feel for the beat before you chop it. ANYTIME i chopped music i used this method. Shortcuts are so cheap sounding. any one who chops or in the very least mixes music NEEDS to learn to use a crossfader. listen to my version of in the air tonight. Bigpimpin also has a version of this song with slower chops. in the air.mp3 Basicly my chops are going to a faster BPM. to me i like the way i chopped it. OTHER people don't but usually i chop music for me. I rarely share unless asked to. lol

Ahh, but then we get technical. You always want to chop a beat and not a word. Sometimes the words fall on off beats which gives the illusion of no beat or chop. The chop comes from the beat being repeated. But Yeah you definitely got the right theory. DSM this man right here could definitely school you. listen to what he says.

AHH! the ONLY Bigpimpin song that I dont like the chops. lol :drinks:

ScrewLab sucks huge donkey dick. Audacity to slow and Virtual Dj to chop. If you slow with Virtual Dj it might not be sampled right... And bass boosting with virtual DJ is even more fail. Lets see some work man. I Love critiquing fellow a screwhead's work. lol

Not a Problem man When people say Screw and chop these days half the time it means Slowed and bass boosted. lol

Ok Are you asking for it to be Chopped and screwed? or bass boosted. I thought that Tommy's was custom made for him. If you are looking for his bass boosted version then i'm not sure of where you are gonna find it. As far as screwed and chopped goes.... You might like it... you might not... Free of charge... http://www.zshare.net/audio/80451312e78fb29d/

Ok here we go again... Audacity to slow music down. Virtual Dj To chop. You can experiment with Screwlab but from my experience it's a POS. I used to Use Mixvibes Pro v.3.11. It worked well but only SOME computer would allow you to save. Not sure why but thats the way it was. Whatever you use Please Use the Crossfader. Shortcuts sound sloppy. Thank you.
