How to Remix Music on Your Computer

Remixing involves mixing audio together in order to create a new recording from the original version of the song. Remix artists chop up the song and combine the song in new and original ways. Techniques of remixing include changing the song's EQ, pitch or tempo, but remixing ultimately is limited to your own imagination.
