Since I'm trying to figure this amazing program CEP 2.0 out, I have this question to propose. Is there a way to set BPM's of songs you dub on to your hard drive, open them on CEP, and beat mix them with beat beds from your imaging cd's? I know many a people in larger markets work on Pro Tools, and their work amazes me. But I feel CEP 2.0 is easier to use(although I'm hitting a learning curve). So anybody that does imaging that beat mixes songs along with beat beds for any format, if you do this on CEP 2.0, how is this magic performed. Again any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm also a read of RAP magazine. It definatley is great way to network with people and learn about other fasets of production. Thank you again for your help and or guidance.

(putting on grumpy old man pants)
Back in my day of tape, grease pencils, and vinyl, we didn't need some fancy shmancy bit of software to tell us how to beat mix our music young man

There is a way using the pitch transform in Edit view, to gradually change your files so that they perfectly beat match every time ... it's like the pitch control on a turntable only just the tempo changes, not the actual pitch. If you want it, email me and I'll dig it out as I can't recall it off the top of my head.
There is a pretty good learning curve with CEP. Here's the good news; you have these forums to answer your questions. Some of us had to figure all this out on our own. I'd say from the questions you are asking, that you're already up the steep part of the curve and are heading for the fun creative part!
And yes, if you are using CEP in a professional radio capacity, you really should be subscribing to Radio & Production. It's a lot like these forums, only not CEP specific. It's a community of like minded people who have the same problems and frustrations that you do everyday ... and I say that as a subscriber, not as a Contributing Writer.

Do a search on "beat matching" in the archives. Not so long ago, someone went into great detail as to how to do this.
