Aside from being a composer, are you also a DJ? Reason asking, it's mainly DJ's who use Mashups and yes, technically that is what I am seeking to do. Would you mind if I were to send you 2 mp3's then maybe you can tell me how the DJ was able to do that mashup please? If yes, I can send you 3 files, the mashup itself and the 2 individual tunes used. If so, you can let me know how to get those 3 mp3's to you.

Whoa, that's really very in-depth details, way beyond my scope and yes good acapella to reference my question. There is an automatic beatmatching DJ software called Mixmeister which perfectly matches any intro or acapella to a tune. I was always confused how this software can do this so have always thought the software was finding a beat in the intro/acapella.

Yes it is but seems no one can answer the basic question on how to counts beats in an acapella.

Thank you. Maybe we can start with a very loooooong intro like Diana Ross's I'm coming out if you won't mind.? If yes, I don't know how or where we can work off the tune itself. To clarify, since I match the first downbeats of any 2 tunes, that is what I would like to know, how to recognize the 1st downbeat in any intro, acapella or slow tune?

Hello all, I am new here seeking help to learn how to count beats in acapellas, intros and slow music for DJing purposes to do beatmatching. I can locate the first downbeat [kickbass] in tunes so I can account for the 4 beats in a Bar. Problem I am having is when I need to match beats with intros, acapellas and slow tunes, if anyone can help or refer me to an appropriate forum for this will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
