    Yeah, but that's just how it is. It sucks. Wish acapellas were more accessible. But is what it is. More reason to grow and get to making some proper records.

    nah it's clearly a technical, sonic, audio issue with a cause and/or solution.

    I have this problem more with original recorded vocals as opposed to acapellas. Still not figured out what the issue is.

    I dunno often messing with the vocal like that can sound a bit unnatural, would also take really long and tedious to do. Mixing the vocal is easy. Just sit it *just* above everything else.

    it's more complex than just lining it up. The original beat may have a push or pulled snare, a swing, something that causes the rapper(or singer) to land slighty off beat in a musical way, that on your beat will just sound poorly timed or off-rhythm in a non musical way. Sometimes the...

    Feel you bro, hat3 mixing my own stuff. Enjoy mixing others usually. Try and turn it into a fun thing, like "ou lemme see what i can do to my drums. As for acapellas, you probably don't really need to compress th3m or such. I just give some low cut and balance them.

    This is the hardest part about it tbh. I know who/what would sound hot on a beat, but wheather that is available or not is a different story. And then sometimes the only suitable acapella available os one you've already used before.

    If a theme has vocals YES I'll generally dismiss non vocal tracks. 'Cause I feel like come on producer, show us what you can do. It's a different game. It's all well and good just making sounds, but marching vocals to a beat, mixing, and other factors, really bring an added dimenion to things...

    Lets talk Linux

    I think a lot of plugins etc of yesteryear don't match up with stuff of today. Even newer technologies. But if what you got lets you do what you do, then no need I guess. But considered maybe stuff of today could let you do what you do but just better.

    Question about publishing rights..

    Yeah that's what I was saying. Just not reaally needed for simple songshare agreement.

    Yeah mine have a 'sidechain' function built in, that operates as a highpass. I often use this until the balance between the bounce of the needle from kick to snare looks a little nicer Yeah this is me. I mean I'm having a hard time judging the needle on my tape meters... it goes into red...
