Week II - First Try




I started my 18.4% project by researching about the meaning of mash up, how to mash up, and watch the tutorial videos. After watching few tutoring videos, I got the feeling that I am brave enough to start it. After I read Pop Danthology’s Website, I learned that your music would need to have similarities. I chose the music, Back Seat by New Boyz, and Like A G6 by Far East Movement, because both of this music is performance by Dev.

After I started my foolish journey of mash up music, I found out a terrible problem, which is that I don’t really know how to use both the Mac and the software. I searched up the picture of keyboard shortcut of Ableton Live 9; I learned how to adjust the music, and how to edit it with the picture.

Slowly I felt like I got the feeling of how to control this beast, which I make the Back Seat (instrumental) and Back Seat (Acapella) to be on the same line. At this point, I felt like the rock on my back had been take off, and now I am a free man that could start to remix the music in the way I want. I first listen to the whole music (Back Seat), than turn it to mute, and listen to Like A G6. I cut the climax of it to be with the instrumental of Back Seat. I felt so lucky that it actually sound really great, I just need to make some parts of it into silent and put some part into extremely loud.
