Wow.
I saw a mixtape in my email that had a sound cloud link to it. Well it's a dubstep x Oukast mashup mixtape. (It's here if you care to listen) I listened to the first 2 tracks and immediately my eyes rolled. They were dropping synced acapellas over instrumentals. This is something I like to do as well when I mix, but the instrumentals were at a much higher bpm range so the acapellas sounded too fast and kinda "squished". Not only that, the first two songs had vocal sections that clashed with the applied acapellas.
I thought those were some mixing no-nos, so I posted a comment , and it was removed within a day. I just can't believe the mix is getting attention and people are liking it/ downloading it, and posting such positive comments. It says it's mastered by somebody, but damn I don't think it sounds that great.
It's poor mashup stuff like this that just floods soundcloud, and the DJ culture. If you're going to mash stuff up, at least put some heart into it, damn.
