Hi all,
I pretty much agree with Olaf's comments. Beatmatching
acid jazz tunes is not only just about impossible,
it's pretty much beside the point. Come up with a
great program FIRST, then just crossfade or hardcut
the tracks. I'd much rather hear a killer program that
wasn't beatmatched than a half-assed program that was
seamless. Content matters.
