Disco DJ?

So now we're on to creating a mix in Pro Tools. I've decided to go with Disco because it's music I haven't used in a while. I loved listening to it as a child. My Mom owned every Donna Summer album ever put out.

But I digress...

I thought it would be fairly easy, since I've done a dancehall reggae mix for a previous class. Welp, not so much. It's a very complicated thing. And I'm not sure that I have enough time to pull it off to my satisfaction.

With reggae, the beats are similar, if not exactly the same. With disco, they all have different BPMs (Beats Per Minute) and some start slow and then speed up ("Last Dance" by Donna Summer). So, I'm gonna give it a try. I'll let you know how it turns out.

In the meantime, here's a lesson on Tempo Matching in Pro Tools.
