Sounds okay to me. Did you try syncing it up with the instrumental? Then the instrumental with your beat?

Noticed it too. To me it's the refrain that just won't fit, although Em's rap fits perfectly. It sounds to me like he's singing it about 5 bpm faster than Em raps. The strange thing is, although the refrain is off, the rap still stays in time.

Well that happened with another remix a while ago, it was hard to get the hook on point.

You don't have to use it if you don't want to. With these remixes you can chop them up and rearrange the verses if you want.

 

[crog85]

Yea, but I even had problems with parts of the verse not lining up right... Started chopping things up to get things to line-up the way I wanted, but didn't have the patience for that lol, so I found another acapella that I used, that synced up ALOT better... but the audio sounds terrible... very distorted

I may not enter it, but I'll post it here when its done if anyone wants to listen...

 

[SoberMindedMuzk]

U can make vocals do pretty much what u want them to...but it may not be as simple as aligning them with a tempo and just letting it run

 

[Tulrap]

Just beat? Or we'll do the remix with voice of Eminem?

Well see what you can do. I don't know if others are having this issue as well, we'll only know when the signups start. I hope enough are entering.

Yes, a remix with Eminem's voice from the acapella linked in the first post.

 

[SoberMindedMuzk]

helpful hint......when em starts rapping he says ... Till i col-lapse im spillin these raps..........the 1 beat should line up with lapse in the word collapse....

you're welcome

I have one more question. You want 4 mins but instrumental beat's time is 4.46 mins. Still can i do it?

It has to be 4 minutes, so if the vocals don't fit then you'll have to take some of it out.

 

[gocoolmusic]

the acapella does sound a bit off as I tried to match it up w/ the instrumental. no worries tho. we can make this work.

 

[Fade]

Yeah it does sound a bit off, but really that's pretty much with all acapellas. It's whoever is recording them and posting on YouTube. Sometimes it can be a real pain. What I usually do is one verse at a time.
