How to Make a Classical Music Dubstep Mix – A guide to creating a classical music dubstep mix.
Introduction
In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to make a classical music dubstep mix. Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the late 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy bass and syncopated rhythms. Classical music is a broad term that includes a wide range of genres, from the medieval period to the present day. It is generally divided into three periods: the Baroque (1600-1750), the Classical (1750-1820), and the Romantic (1820-1910).

What You Will Need
In order to make a classical music dubstep mix, you will need the following items:
-One or more classical music CDs
-One or more dubstep CDs
-A computer with an internet connection
-A CD burner
-A blank CD
Step One: Choose Your Tracks
The first step to making a classical music dubstep mix is choosing your tracks. You’ll want to select a few powerful, fast-paced songs that will make good transitions into the slower, more serene dubstep tracks. Some examples of good songs to use as transitions are “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Edvard Grieg, “The Nutcracker Suite” by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and “The Ride of the Valkyries” by Richard Wagner.
Step Two: Edit the Tracks
Now that you have your tracks, it’s time to start editing them. For this type of mix, you’ll want to make the tracks as seamless as possible. This means lining up the beats and making sure there are no sudden changes in tempo or volume.
If you’re using Ableton Live, I recommend using the ‘warp’ function to line up the beats. To do this, first select a section of the track that you want to warp. Then, click on the ‘warp’ button and select the ‘beats’ mode. Ableton will automatically adjust the tempo of the track so that the beats line up perfectly.
Once you’ve done this for all of your tracks, it’s time to start mixing them together. Start by playing each track one at a time and identify which parts of each track you want to use. Then, using a program like Ableton Live, start piecing the tracks together. Make sure to pay attention to the volume levels so that one track doesn’t overpower another.
As you’re mixing, you may also want to add effects like reverb or delay. This can help create a more cohesive soundscape and add interest to your mix. Just be careful not to overdo it!
Finally, when your mix is complete, be sure to export it as an MP3 so that people can actually listen to it!
Step Three: Mix the Tracks
Now that you have your tracks, it’s time to mix them together. For this step, you’ll need a digital audio workstation (DAW). This is software that allows you to mix and edit audio. If you don’t have a DAW, there are plenty of free options available online, such as Audacity or Garageband.
Once you have your DAW open, create a new project and import the tracks you want to use for your mix. Then, start mixing! Experiment with different ways of layering the tracks and see what sounds best. Once you’re happy with your mix, export it as an MP3 file so you can share it with friends or listen to it on your own device.
Step Four: Export the Mix
Now that you have your mix ready, it’s time to export it. In your DAW, go to File > Export > Audio. Choose a name for your mix and a location to save it. Make sure you select WAV or AIFF as the file format, and 16-bit or 24-bit as the bit depth. 44.1kHz is the standard sample rate for CD quality audio, so make sure you select that as well. Once you’ve chosen all your settings, hit Export and wait for the process to finish.
Now that you’ve exported your mix, you’re ready to share it with the world! If you want to put it on SoundCloud or another streaming service, simply upload the file. If you want to make a physical copy, burn the mix onto a blank CD. And if you want to keep it digital but share it with friends, send them the file via email or Dropbox.
