Remix help

[F.N.A.]

I'm trying to remix a song from an .mp3. I've got Reason 2.5, Ableton Live 6.0, and Acid. Can anyone give me some pointers. Do I basically just build the song and sample the MP3 in? It's an acoustic/ambient type song and I'm trying to turn it into an abstract break beat track. I've got an idea of where I want to go with it, I just don't know where to begin.

Ok... I dunno about Ableton for it, but here's what you do with Acid and Reason:


Open Acid.

Open Reason.

On the lower right hand corner by your master outs on Acid, click the button that says something about adding or inserting a new soft synth. This will create a bus that Reason's sound will run through. It will pop up a window asking which channels you want to use with rewire. Click 'Main L/R' and that will bring all of Reason's sounds through that one bus. You can also opt to bring seperate components through multiple busses.

After that, all your reason sounds will run through Acid (using Rewire) and they will sync up when played.

then, open your MP3 into a track on Acid. It will ask you if you want to Beatmap it (I assume you do). Go through that process. After that, you can do whatever you want in Reason adn Acid.

Make sense?

If not, PM me and I'll send you my number and tomorrow I can talk you through it.
