Ahhhh I get ya!!! so its kinda what sounds right to the ear rather than bpm's?!

Yes you got it

[Calum]

Get the accapella and tap out the rhythm with something that'll tell you the bpm

ie this

That way you get a good feel what songs it would work with rhythmically,
from that you can work on keys etc.

thats how i do it anyway

knife party internet friends w/ technologic (accapella) w/ a lil bit of reverb... works like a dream.

for a referance ...

(around the 9:30 mark)

load the acapella in one deck and the original of the acapella in the other, and use the original to set an accurate beatgrid for the acapella, makes working with it in traktor much easier, as you can sync etc pretty easily.

Check my radio show - Canadian Back break....Tuesday nights 7PM PST. I do a lot of work with acapellas

So fun to scratch as well. Just listen to it, nod your head, tap to the rhythm of the vocals and push it in the mix.
