yo
haha i just got cool edit today wanted to try it out
i recorded a minute long of me spitting on sound recorder

so i went on cool edit n inserted an instrumental beat, and i put my sound recording on top of it but i can never get it to where i want to, it always sounds off beat. i always try once, then its off beat, th en i have to exit both then try again to put it somewhere else on the beat, off beat again, then exit it again then try again etc etc for like half an hour.

is there an easy way where i can put it on beat or some tutorials that anyone knows of that i can look at
all help is appreciated.

peace

gimme that shit, ill mix it :P

nahh, just mess with the time at the bottom right

what u mean
once i put my lyrics on top of the beat its already mixed with the song as one, how can i edit the time of JUST my lyrics
i dont get it i must be retarded or something

Well, first I think your using a old version, cause they don't make cool edit pro anymore, its now called Adobe Something...

yea i dont really care man cool edit still does the job

or anyone know how i can record on top of a beat, is that possible with cool edit cant seem to figure it out

^^ Thanks for your sig, lol. Made the waiting time shorter. :(

lol glad u enjoyed it

ur meant to spit with the beat :( not fuckin spit then put a beat ova it..thats why ur flow is off..dumbass

^^Word.

Sadly, back in 2003, I did something similar though. I would rap acapella, and then do a "Mix Paste" with a beat. It's because some copies of Cool Edit Pro come and open up in the Edit Waveform view, so if you don't have someone to tell you otherwise, or don't play around, you never really realize there's a Multi-Track view.... at least that was the case for me.

What you need to do, is press the R button. Insert your instrumental on another layer, (it doesn't really matter whether your beat is on the top layer or second layer, whatever. Mine usually goes on top, and I record on the layers below).

Anyway, you need to wear headphones when you record so your mic doesn't pick up the instrumental that you're rapping with.

I know nothing about cool edit either... so... I'll be needing this once I get the preamp in the mail...

if you need any advice on cool edit pro just send me an email at martinez_sin@yahoo.com and ill be glad to help you..ive been using this for some time..im actually in the process of upgrading to something newer but for beginner this is probably the simplest thing to use.
