For this activity I decided to remix a song called Gas Pedal. The beat that you hear in the background is one that produced myself on my Macbook. In order to get the vocals only, I had to take the original song into a music software called Audacity, and strip the instrumental portion. Finally, IContinue reading “Remix Activity”
