[S2E25] B.B.B.F.F.

[Renard]

While I can't express an opinion on that issue for know, I have to say I'm glad to see you guys discussing on the matter.

Smilley: if Performous is running slow on your machine, try going to the preferences and lower everything you can find in the "graphics" subcategory. Performous uses scalable graphics, hence the performance hit; your may want to set the rendering quality to 0.5x for instance. That won't look pretty, but it will be a lot faster.

[Profpatsch]

You can disable videos, too.

Be sure to configure it, though (unlike USDX it is configurable):
In the song Ctrl+F1,F2 until the notes hit the bar at the right time (I use the freestyle parts in AotD for this).
Press Ctrl+S, then hold your mic to the speakers and press Ctrl+F3,F4 until the syth'd notes are in sync with the shown notes.
I still don't know what Ctrl+F5,F6 are for, I guess to sync the video with the song or something.

I'm ok if you change that short we back. I don't think it should be a freestyle note, though, since it surely has a pitch intended by Daniel Ingram.

[Smilley]

Psychic Walnut, could you do a version of this song with only Twilight's vocal track? I'm curious about a few pitches.

[PsychicWalnut]

It's not exactly perfect, since there was a little bleed-over from the other channels. 
It should be lined up with the existing version, and suitable for your needs.

Enjoy.

On additional note:

The instrumental.txt file does not point to the video.mp4
We might want to add that in.

[Renard]

This is related to how the songs are handled. Instrumental tracks were considered an opportunity to showcase some community artists, too; unsure yet if we should keep it that way, or bring back the bg videos to all instrumental tracks.

[PsychicWalnut]

Ugh... guess I should stop posting them as missing then...

well... at least until we are sure.

[PsychicWalnut]

New Instrumental Track - sync'd to the old one, so it's good to go.

Improvements:

Cleaner music - it sounds a bit less muddy. (full stereo)
Clear Backup Singers - Yup, just the way it is supposed to be.

Thanks for Psychic especially for the "We shared our hopes" line. The first word is simply swallowed by the preceding background chorus.
