Beat Grid in rekordbox ND Adding Vocals over Vocals
Contents of the video
Okay, I just wanted to do this quickly. First of all, I'm using rekordbox software and two tunes, Activator on the right-hand side, original mix, and Accelerator on the left-hand side, the extended mix. So I'm going to press play on Activator first of all. Let's have a look at the Accelerator tune, which is the top wave format. I'm just going to let that carry on playing. Now, if I press Q, now the C in Accelerator is the 1. 1, 2, 3, 4. 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. Speed it forward. Let's have a listen. There, Accelerator. See? C in Accelerator is on the 1. But you can see the beat grid is slightly off. So you've always got to be careful with that. You've got to make sure you don't completely rely on the beat grid.
Okay, so let's just let this carry on playing. Nice sort of rumbling kind of bass line in the background. So this is when we can pretty much overlap vocals over vocals because these two work quite nicely together. It's almost like you've got the one then the other, one then the other. But you'll see what I mean when we get to the vocals on Activator. Now if you listen to that, that would almost sound as though it's part of the song. The one track. So maybe you could bring something like this into the mix. Maybe not play Accelerator straight afterwards but definitely just bring this and overlap it over the Activator tune. Alright, you know this is two tracks okay? But imagine the tracks. Just think about the amount of tracks out there and what you could do.
It's all about listening to one song. Listening to say part of the lyrics and thinking yeah, the lyrics are in say two beats of the bar. As in the lyrics are in say one, two and they finish which leaves three and four. So find another track that's got lyrics in three and four. If they work harmonically same sort of style try them together see what happens alright? So just a short video. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
