    This Is what i do the most. i love working with acapellas . for most crowds the key of each is a non factor, but get it as close to the same key as possible. It sounds the best for mash ups

  • @mazusub8182
    @mazusub8182 Před 2 lety +2

    Scratching is about having a flow and sort of a sub-melody on top of the original melody of a song that will with put that extra flare 🔥 make a song or melody more interesting, more powerful, more impactful, more likable and different than the original melody because the original can become boring over time But, that with scratch techniques can make it sound super cool and better/ making you wanna move, shake your body/ dance in general. 🙃🙂

    Good video ! one thing that isnt mentioned and not alot of people consider in using accapellas is the fact that each accapella (especially when there is alot of melody being sung) is 'in-tune' to the beat they recorded to. Putting that accapella with its tuning over another beat which doesnt tune with it sympathetically just sounds ugly ....even if its beat matched to the right tempo and was started at the right place
