Inconsistent BPMs can be a rather common problem when it comes to mixing/mashupping. So if you ever come across a song where the BPM/tempo just doesn't stay the same throughout it, here's my personal method for fixing it using Audacity's relatively new "time-stretch" feature. It's very tedious work (even more so than changing time signatures), but very satisfying when done right!

If you'd like to check out other fellow mashuppers, I do have a list of quite a few on my channel. Some of them take requests as well, so if you really want one, feel free to ask any of them! Just make sure that they're currently taking them, of course.

If you want to download any of my music, I recommend using any YouTube to MP3 website.

Yes, you are allowed to use any song in a video as long as you give me credit!

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
