Mashup Assignment
For this assignment we were to pick 3 or more songs to create a "mashup" and then create a video using the photos we edited along with this song. To be honest, I had no idea how difficult this project would be. I have used audacity and garage band in the past, but never to create content in this way. I have always recorded live music, never mixed together various songs. I spent 3-4 hours on this and I still feel that it isn't very good! But, I am not a musician, and this was really just a test for us to see how these things work and how to hopefully I will be able to apply these concepts to a project in the future!
For my song I mixed "Now I wanna sniff some glue" by The Ramones, "Glass Danse" by The Faint, and It Takes Time to Build" by The Beastie Boys. I essentially just edited out parts of Glass Danse, changed the timing a bit, and added in some beats and vocals from the other two songs. To do this the way I wanted would have required a few weeks of training and work I think.
Hey bro, mike here, just wanted to say that your mashup is pretty good. You're right though. If we wanted to make a good mashup like im sure we all would like, it does take a couple weeks of training and messing around with our mashups. It definitely helps choosing songs of which are similar in qualities such as flow, speed, and vocals.
