Beat matching is very simple. For this tutorial I will focus on meat matching to create a mix tape. We will match beats at the end of one song and the beginning of a second. This way when a song comes to an end it will gently start the new song.
First choose two songs that have similar tempos. Use a metronome to help with this. If you don't have a metronome you can download a free one online. Just do a Google search for metronome.
When you find two songs with similar tempos drag and drop them into Audacity. Use SOLO on the left tab of each track to listen to each song. Try and find the place you would like the first song to end. Make note of this. Find where you would like the second song to start. Make note of that.
Use your TIME SHIFT TOOL to slide the second song to the right to roughly where you want it.
Place your cursor at roughly where the overlap of sons will be. Next use your magnification tool to zoom in on that point.
Make note of the thick pulses of your songs. These are the beats. You will need to line up these beats. Now use your TIME SHIFT TOOL to line up the beats. This is where you have to use your ears. Move the song back and forth until you find a nice match. You WILL make them fit, it just may take a couple of tries. Be patience.
Once you have found the sweet spot Save your work. That is it.
Good luck,
Andrew
