Remixing with Acapellas – Reason Tips

What’s the difference between a professional music producer and an amateur beat maker? Answer: Vocals. Vocals is what elevates a beat – no matter how cool it is on its own – to becoming a track that people can identify with, sing along to, and want to hear again. So what do you do if you aren’t a rapper or vocalist? Fortunately, there’s tons of acapella tracks out there just waiting to be worked with. In fact, many artists are releasing their acapellas in the hopes that people remix them in their own tracks.

In this video, James Bernard shows us how he’s using vocals off Aesop Rock’s latest album to create his own remix.
