Mashups

• This subreddit is meant exclusively for music related mashup content.

• A mashup is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another.

• If you aren't sure if it's a mashup, listen to it without video. If you can tell it's two or more songs together, then it's a mashup.

• Medleys, I.E strings of songs with 'transition periods', are not considered mashup content.

Format

• [Optional Tag] Mashup Artist - Song Name (Artists Being Mashed) Optional Comments

• Mashup Artist is now REQUIRED in addition to Song Name and Artists Being Mashed.

• Tags and comments are optional, but the dash, parentheses, and spaces are required. If you do not include tags for a link post, it is assumed to be a mashup. If you include one of the accepted tags (see below), then the post flair will automatically be updated (for example, posts using [Meme] will automatically have the Meme tag applied).

• We recommend using the [Meme] tag for Soundclowns/memes, [Album] for albums, [Mix] for long mashup mixes, and [Demo] for WIP/demos so they can be given post flair and be easily filtered. [Mashup] tag is optional.

• If you are submitting something other than a mashup, please use the format [Tag] Description which requires one of the following tags: [Discussion], [Meta], [Contest], [News], [Meme], [Resource], [Mix], [Album], [Year End], [Year-End], or [Demo].

• Here are some perfect examples:

Joe Schmo - My First Mashup (Childish Gambino, Daft Punk) - [1:23]

Joe Schmo - My First Mashup (Childish Gambino, Daft Punk) - [1:23] I have no idea what I'm doing!

[Discussion] Where else do you find mashups?

[Demo] I'm using MONTERO. Can you check if this part is in key?

[News] YouTube changed copyright strike duration from six months to three.

[Mix] Two Friends - Big Bootie Mix, Vol. 20 (Various Artists)

12 Hour Limit

• You are only allowed to post one mashup, album, mix, or demo every 12 hours. EXCEPTION: Staging for a new topic with mod discretion.

• Any more and they will all be removed.

• If you make fake accounts, all accounts and posts will be permabanned.

Rehosting

• Do NOT post native Reddit video that rehosts someone else's mashup.
• Please support the mashup artists you love by linking to the original.

Respect

• Mashups are posted by mashup artists from newcomers to pros. As such, we strongly encourage upvoting relevant posts to lift other users up rather than tear everyone down, especially new posts.

• With skill level in mind, constructive criticism is also strongly encouraged. After all, it's how we improve. However, we ask that users direct criticism at the track, and not the user making the track or other users.

• In general, personal attacks or offensive remarks towards other users are not allowed.
