today is the day of the Ableton user Group Budapest
I will make a presentation about making mashups
so I’ve collected the most basic rules,
five very important things what you always have to keep in mind

#1 do NOT expect anything, ever
make it for fun and for free

#2 always create full song structure for your tracks
a good mashup is not a ‘Stars on 45’ type of megamix

#3 always use good quality sources
crap will always sound crap at the end of the process too

#4 go for the perfect flow, do not rape the original songs
the style clash is great,
but if the flow of your mix is perfect,
you can do wonders by using things from the same genre too

#5 always tag your mp3’s
don’t forget to credit your sources
and don’t forget to credit yourself either
feedback is the most important thing what you can get by making mashups

happy mixing!
