uk_lefty Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Good evening. My band wants to do an ambitious medley. We have a few medley type bits in our set but as we need to specialise more in a particular era we want to do one big medley arrangement to cram in some songs with recognisable parts but that are a bit too weak to play all the way through. In order to get us a rehearsal reference point I want to take sections of various songs and make them into one track. In my head I know which bits of which songs. But I don't know technically how to do this without a double tape deck! In the MP3 streaming world I'm a bit lost. Any help or advice is gratefully received. Thank you!

It should be possible to talk you through it, too. Download and install it (it's free, fully functioning, to trial...) and see how it inspires you. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 (edited) GarageBand if you have a Mac, or Reaper as Dad says. GarageBand is a free app on any Mac instal, it's a bit cartoonish, but it's basically Logic X without the pro stuff, it works very well.

pete.young Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Audacity will do this on PC or Mac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would indeed, but it would be a bit more 'fiddly' than Reaper, for instance, in my opinion (I use both, but for different things; each has its uses...).

BabyBlueSound Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 If you'd choose Reaper (which I really suggest ), here's the easiest way to learn it, Kenny explains it really well: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
