I was upset when this left YouTube. Love the chorus!

Bill McClintock

Thank you. The parts of the choruses definitely sit well together. I was actually thinking about focusing on this one and finishing it…we shall see.

chad discr

really like the back & forth in the chorus. maybe if you could make the verses talk back & forth somehow you would finish it. pretty good the way it is tho

Patrick Marchino

Absolutely brilliant.

Roy Hartford

Love this one. Hope you do finish it.

Jay Simons

I joined just to hear it, Was amused greatly.

Phil Wildcroft

Completely understand your reasons for not finishing it but that chorus is f**king hilarious!

Bill McClintock

That’s my plan

Christopher Belson

This was definitely on the way to being a real winner, but I can definitely understand the issue with your students finding it. Maybe if you ever do get around to finishing it, hosting it on Patreon is the answer?

Jon Santangelo

Yes!!

Chris Joyner

I love it.

Bill McClintock

totally

Scott Roberts

I agree with you about refraining from posting it publically because of the kids you teach. It's better to err on the side of caution!

Scott Wannan-Johnston

this one is hilarious

Good question. I rarely speed up instrumentals but I did this time. Only by about 7 bpm if I remember correctly. But it is still noticeable. Slowing down the Ohio Players to 90 bpm just made it sound like it dragged too much. So, occasionally I will adjust the tempos of the instrumental and the vocal to meet somewhere in the middle but in most cases I only adjust the speed of the vocal.

I’ve always wondered—for tracks with noticeably different tempos, do you ever meet the 2 source tracks in the middle? Like for this one, the NIN track just sounds uncomfortably fast. Couldn’t you make the HaO track a bit slower? This happens in a lot of mashups on YT (not usually yours). Thanks!
