AudioMulch Tutorial - Using Mute Automation to Create Mashups

This is a brief tutorial on how to use automation in Audiomulch to trigger multiple loopplayer contraptions on and off simultaneously. Using automation, you can layout your samples to create CD quality tracks.

I will not distribute samples / instrumentals / acapellas out. Sorry.

How do get vocal tracks (without the music) to any song? Thanks!

[lllatomlll]

@ddppk acapella tracks. often found on singles.

[GrantBibby]

how do you make a track start from the beggining at a specific time? This will help me SOOO much. thanks

[lllatomlll]

@GrantBibby audiomulch didn't (still doesn't i would imagine) support triggering samples at bar 1 on command. I used the phase setting to modify where the sample started.

[GrantBibby]

@lllatomlll could you explain to me how to use the phase setting to make the samples start when you want. Im getting stated with audiomulch, and you are the best at mashing with this program.

[lllatomlll]

@GrantBibby tough to explain as it's sort of a trial and error process. take any sample you have and set the phase at 0. then set the phase at 16 and press play. see the difference? adust the phase value so the sample starts at the first bar and you're good to go. it moves the sample forwards and backwards... you'll usually find that the phase values are in segments of 4/8/16/32/64...etc...

we can im musik to that? pls antwort to my question

[lllatomlll]

@vans77587 Definitely not getting lucky when it comes to automation. I will configure my loopplayer contraptions so that the verse starts where I want it to. This is controlled by the phase option in the contraption.

Girl talk doesn't use automation live. I don't know if he uses it for his records or anything. Probably not. He just rides the mute button the whole time.

You can get music by searching youtube and google. it's really all that i do!

@vans77587 I am familiar with Audition. I really wish there was a good version for OSX! You're going to want to just highlight and loop. Use the metronome as an aid if it makes things easier for you. I think its easiest/quickest just to do it by ear.

I explain my reasoning for high tempos in one of my videos. It gives me more of a sliding scale to work with. Using a slower tempo (100-140) actually gives you more time to mute/unmute. Both ways accomplish the same output.

[vans77587]

Are you getting lucky with timing on the longer samples or is there a way you know when a verse begins?

Another question I had was if you knew if Girl Talk used automation himself or is he just playing the mute buttons the whole night.

I know you get this alot, but how have you been finding all these instrumentals and acapellas. If you could give a site or two for reference, that'd be great, but it's not necessary.

Thanks so much for posting these videos, I've been learning so much.
