Do you like mashups? Have you ever heard a mashup and wondered how it was made? Do you have no idea what I'm talking about? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this session is for you!

In this session, I’ll demo my personal workflow for sourcing a capellas and instrumentals, processing and EQing samples, editing audio in the timeline, and all the other steps that go into turning two or more songs into one.

We’ll also touch on some music theory concepts like the circle of fifths, relative minors/majors, and basic chord progressions. No prior knowledge of music theory is necessary!

I’ll be demoing everything in Ableton Live, which is (unfortunately) proprietary software. It has a 90-day free trial, and I’ll share my sample library in advance if you’d like to follow along. However, this session is not an Ableton tutorial! I’ll provide context when necessary but we’ll primarily focus on the generic aspects of my workflow that could apply to any audio workstation software.
