Hi JB-Sound,
Firstly it would be nice to listen to a higher quality mp3 rather than the 32kbps version you got going (but hey, if you're on dial-up..)
The eastern influenced music sounds quite cool... that Timberland thing going.
Is the music your own?
One major gripe about your mix is that the whole vocal track is off-tempo which is unfortunate as I think these could fuse well together.
Fix it! It will be good.

bitrate will be higher when i get my own webspace .....

do you have some tips about this bpm issue?
i find it hard to determine bpm of a vocal track.....

the music is not my own, but in the reggaebizznizz "riddims" are shared a lot.
also for dubplates/specials.....

[viffer]

words/music aren't synchronized properly.

that, and I don't like it. (n)

interesting concept though.

real positive input viffer.

the best way to find the bpm on an accapella track is to get the real track and beat map it instead, since the full song has a clearly defined downbeat. the ch-check vocals dont start on the first downbeat... so that could easily throw you off.

So here is what you do...

1) start a new ACID file
2) beat map the full version of ch-check it out. you will find the tempo is 115 bpm.
3) open up your remix track
4) set the tempo to 115 bpm. now you will know that at least the beat is on the right tempo.
5) now insert the full version of ch-check it out, with its first downbeat lined up with the first downbeat of your remix beat.
6) Insert your accapella track.
7) don't bother beatmapping the vocal track since we already know its 115 bpm... and we dont want you accidently changing it and warping the vocals.
8) mute all tracks except your vocal track and the full version of ch-check it out.
9) line up the vocals so that they fit perfectly. if they dont fit dead on you will be able to notice a strange noise on the tracks... its hard to describe the sound, but you will hear it. so get it to where the vocals fit perfectly from start to finish.
10) unmute all your tracks and delete the full version of ch-check it out.

you should be all set now. i didnt describe everything down to a tee because its really late and i am tired. i hope this helps you. this is not the only way to do this, but i think it will work best for your situation.
