Making a customised cheerleading mix can help to motivate your team to doing the best that they can do and catchy tunes can leave the judges at competitions wanting more! If you want to make a custom mix but you can’t afford to pay for it either on your own or on the team’s budget, then there are easy ways that you can make them on your own at home.
Once you have been put in charge of making the mix, then the first thing you need to do is to get some computer editing software. Try Goldwave, which you can find on Google, as they offer a free trial period. Once you have finished using the software, you can always de-install it.
Then get together with the rest of your team mates to come up with some songs. Ask everyone to make a contribution that way no one gets left out and everyone likes the songs that they are going to be dancing and performing to.
Now here comes the difficult part, or the easy part if you have already decided. You need to find the sections of the songs that you are going to dance to. You take these snippets of songs and then edit them all together into one long song. Then you can even find sound effects to download and insert between songs or over the top. The best and most popular songs for cheerleading mixes are often remixes of popular songs as they have a good baseline and a catchy beat that will get the audience’s foot tapping.
Remember that the timing of the music is everything, so make sure that everything is perfect. You might want to get the team together to do some dance walkthroughs to make sure everything fits together.
Once you are positive that the music is exactly the way you want it to be, burn it onto a CD using Windows Media Player or other similar software and get your team on the dancefloor!
