Planet Rock Until the World Ends

This is the first mashup I did a while back when messing with some new software. Didn't have stems to work with, but still has energy imo . . . hope you enjoy:

This isn't what I would exactly call a mashup, since its just two tracks played over one another ...... BUT that said, it takes a good ear to be a good mashup maker, and this does work. Just one thing bugged me, and if you don't mind, I would like to offer you some advice on how to fix it.

There is a 'wobble' in your Britney track, you can really hear it in the vocals. This comes from stretching or warping the track to fit the BPM / tempo of Planet Rock. Most production software (Sont Acid, Ableton etc) have whats different settings for this (they are called algorithms). If you leave it in the default mode, it will always provide a wobble on things when you've over stretched them. If you let me know what software you're using I can tell you what setting to use to solve any future issues.

If, however, you're using DJ software (Traktor, VDJ etc) - these don't have algorithms (because they are not meant for production).
 
Thanks for the advice. I understand what you are talking about in respect to the algorithm settings. This was an older attempt while I was figuring out how to use Ableton Live. I have since discovered how to change the settings depending on what type of material it is. Good point about it not really being a mash-up. At the time, I didn't have many stems, etc to work with, but that has changed. Maybe someday I will revisit this attempt. Thanks. Cheers!
