TUTORIAL #3: How to Change Song Beats / Time Signatures (4/4 to 3/4, etc.)
7Whether you're dealing with differing beats/time signatures in mashups, or you're just curious how a song would sound otherwise, here's my personal method in editing a song to be a completely different beat/time signature. The only real warning I have is that its very TEDIOUS work, but on the bright side, it's a very simple and repetitive process.
This topic wasn't necessarily in high demand or anything, but rather just something I thought I'd share for those who are curious since I've done this with mashups in a few cases.

* Need the BPM or pitch for a song I've used? I have a list right here full of them, which also provides helpful links to where you can find BPMs for any other songs on your own: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WaiaKFw5oKHwLYzTqPbN1r3p3fLADXIRWsuCL_AzPHg/edit?usp=drive_link
* Every now and then, I come across a song with more than one pitch, sections that don't really fit in with other songs I mix with, or etc. To compensate, I created a folder of songs I tweaked that makes them easier to mix with other music: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vooerIRxQhtkj_YupobBpuNy3s_7FH7t
