Ok here is the situation...
Cheerleading competition is coming up on March 9th. My girls are in desperate need of a DJ to mix a cd for them (they have 3 minutes on the floor-and must include 2 dances,2 cheers,3 different types of Tosses called Mounts, and 4 different jumps. Crowd participation is a HUGE factor-30 points of a 100 point total..the judges (13 of them) are all between the ages of 35-45 which means they won't (and never do) like the usual loud-obnoxious screechy cheerleading mix music that they hear year after year-This year, my kids have gone outside that perpetual box and will go for crowd/judge participation by doing a rousing selection of 80's disco tunes..(Play that funky white boy etc) since that would be the ultimate music of the judges glory days..
Problem:
All the Local DJ's are booked solid, and we can't even get one hour in to get them to do our cd for us..someone suggested downloading mixing software and taking a shot at doing one ourselves..I agreed to try it on the condition that if I can't get one easy enough to figure out,that they must go to the local high school and ask for help from the Audio Visual Department.
Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to overlap,fade etc..that you don't need to have a degree in brain surgery to figure out? And preferably one that is freeware,or shareware with COMPLETE features for a trial of more than 25 minutes that allows me to save to be able to burn to cd.Something user friendly for someone who doesnt have much patience would be great-
thanks in advance *looks at Mojo*!
