Sports Music Samples
Here are some examples of our editing capabilities and mixing techniques that we can apply to your skating tracks. You will need Windows Media Player to listen to these files.

Seamless Blending of Multiple Songs
An example of VU Sound Studio's capabilities to seamlessly mix multiple songs for your skating program. You will hear a segment of Blue Tango which mixes into a shortened passage of Forgotten Dreams then cross-fades back to Blue Tango.
Pitch Shifting
V.U. Sound Studio can change the pitch or key of music to blend together 2 different songs that otherwise would sound "off" or discordant. In this example, we raised the pitch of Kenny G’s Falling In Moonlight to accommodate this beautiful mix with Moonlight Sonata. First you will hear the original and the modified Kenny G notes and then the blend of the two songs.
Tempo Changes
If you have a song you want to use in your program but it’s tempo is too fast for your skating style or too slow to fit your program, we can speed up or slow down the tempo without otherwise changing the sound of the music. We also use this to match the tempos of two different songs.
Backing Tracks
We can add rhythms and other special effects to enhance the emotion or "feel" of your program. In this example we have added rhythmic hand claps to a few passages of High Flying Adored from Evita.

In another example of backing tracks, we have added a light rock beat to portions of From The Earth To The Moon theme. We also added an ending crescendo cymbal crash.
The following are several approximately one minute "mini-programs", not intended as skating programs, but simply to demonstrate how we cut longer original source music into your timed skating program. These were all cut from much longer original music and, in several cases, they are a mix of 2 or more songs from movie soundtrack CDs.

A mix of several songs from the
"Dragon Heart" Soundtrack
 A mix of different passages from the
"Robinhood Prince of Thieves" Soundtrack
A medley of passages from
"The Mask of Zorro" Soundtrack
 Cut from an 3:15 instrumental version of
"Beyond The Sea"
The classic 60’s rock song "Whiter Shade of Pale"
cut from two different versions of the music
totaling about 5:30 in length.
Cut from a 9 minute medley of
James Bond movie theme songs.
