Question for the DJs... Empty Question for the DJs...

I need to make a really simple mash-up. It doesn't even have to integrate spectacularly so much as place bits of a couple songs back to back to back. Can anyone recommend basic (preferably free) software to do that? If you must know, I'm making a song for first dance at my wedding. First make song. Then learn to dance. Finish with public embarrassment. Get through this and I'm off to Japan.

Mendez would be the man to answer this question. I'm not as good at the computer side of DJ'ing.

How comfortable are you with audio editing software?

Here's a few programs that will enable you to "mash up" tunes:

Ableton LIVE
Mixmeister Fusion/PRO
Fruity Loops

Ableton by far is what has revolutionize the "mash up" I suggest using that. I believe they're on version 8+.

Hey, Mendez - do you know of any good resources for tutorials, and the like. I got my hands on a completely legit "trial" version of Ableton for four bagrillion dollars, but I have no idea how to make it go. Right now it's more of a toy that a tool, which is unfortunate.

Not so comfortable. I used to DJ (as in not off a computer) in San Francisco in the early 2000s, so I know a bit about mixing, but I haven't done any work with software. This doesn't need to sound seemless. The most important thing is just to get it done so that I can learn the darn dance. In fact, if you have any time yourself and might be interested, I could send you the songs. Unfortunately, the wedding budget is beyond tapped, so I could only offer toy trades and/or gratitude. Anyway, let me know if any of those programs are simple enough for quick and fast learning! Thanks!
