Question

Can I mix a song using my Android phone?

Community Answer

Caustic is a very good DAW for Android systems. The full app costs around $10 but it's well worth it. You can also check out the free demo before you buy to try it out.

Can you give me a good audio editing software? I know of none.

Try Audacity. It's good for a free program that works well for its free price tag.

Question

How do I take the music away and just keep the vocals?

Community Answer

Take the original instrumental (it has to be the exact song arrangement and quality to remove 100%), line it up, so it matches the non-instrumental version -> invert (phases). Then export.

How can I remix two songs, one right after the other?

For starters, you can use a Sound Joiner or Jointer. You can simply use Audacity, FL Studio or Mixcraft. Add them on timeline and then export as mp3 or wav.

Question

How can I get permission from the artist to use the song, or where can I buy the license to use the song anytime I want to?

Community Answer

You have to get permission from the original artist and the affiliated record label, which is probably going to cost you a lot of money. You then have to pay additional royalties each time you use the song.

Question

How many songs can I put into a remix?

Community Answer

Audacity uses tracks, and the music goes in the tracks, so technically you can use unlimited songs.

Question

If I upload a remix, will I have copyright issues?

Community Answer

It depends on the song that you're using. Personally, if it's from someone small, I would ask them first. But usually with bigger people or channels, there already is some remix music and they don't mind. But to be safe, ask first.

Question

Do I need permission for remixing a foreign song in India?

You don't need any permission to remix, you are free to do it. But when publishing it online or selling it (or even for a live performance), you need the permission.
