Well, with threads about communism and tattoos, I figured I would contribute a little something random, my new
obsession: remixing songs using stems in VirtualDJ (
https://www.virtualdj.com/).
VirtualDJ lets you split instruments and voices and remix them with hardly any musical knowledge. To me, this is absolutely amazing. I feel like a
fucking wizard.
Have you ever listened to a song and thought "god damn this kick ass baseline is wasted on this trash song" or "fuck me I love this beat but the vocals are so cringe"?
Or have you ever just heard two songs and thought they really sound like they could have a baby?
You can resolve these issues with VirtualDJ! So, what is this thread about?
I want other anons to play with this software and share their remixes, collab on techniques, etc.
To start off, here a remix I've made. Keep in mind I have no musical talent whatsoever and merely find this software incredibly amusing.
If there's any interest, I can make a little guide about getting started with this software, as it may be a little intimidating to someone who has never played with FruityLoops etc.

Now, this probably isn't the best example because, well I'm a little ashamed to admit it but, I kind of unironically dig brag rap. I don't know what it is about it, but for some reason even though it's all bravado and stupid chest pounding it still tickles my brain. Sorry if the lyrics are super cringe to some. Skip to 52 seconds or so if you just want to hear what putting two songs together without lyrics sounds like.
The instrumental and bass are pulled from Cook (distorted and downshifted) and the Vocals, kick, and high hats are pulled from Lemons. I'm genuinely curious what people think of this. I'm probably just smelling my own farts but to me this kind of bops.
Alternatively, you can use this thread to just talk to me, 'ol LtBarclay. Yes, I'm still here, yes I'm still paying for the site. Want to check on me? Want to know what the fuck I'm doing? You can check with me here. I lost a brother last year and haven't really been doing more than the bare minimum but I'm here.
