How to Mix MP3 Songs

There are many mixing options available for MP3s. If you use music creation software, you have the option of blending songs, adding vocal and background effects, and including your own audio. In order to do this, however, you must first import a stereo MP3 song into the program. Effects such as distortion, delay and vocal manipulation may be used to mix the MP3.
