Project #1 - Update
So I realize it has been a while since I've talked about the project so I'll just go ahead and say a few things. After receiving the green light, I played around with a few songs with various tempos and rhythms. Most of the transitions I did cut after the first few beats of the song into the next one, but they were not all as smooth as I thought they would be. I've settled on working this project out on my PC, a Sony program called Acid Music 3.o. It's pretty much like the garage band of PC media software, with a few extra special features. I've been paying close attention to the tempo meter in the program. When a song is put into a project file on the program, a feature called the Beatmaster pops up. It basically can change all of the other songs in that project file to the beat of the song you set it to or it can measure the beat of the song you added to the project file so you can compare it to the beats of other songs in the project file. After playing around with that for a few days, I'm now working into selecting songs from my computer and placing them into the program, removing the songs that have very very different beats then the other songs that are more similar to a specific beat, making it easier to cross over between songs and tracks. It's a long process, but this is what I've been chipping away on lately.
