[EQG] This Is Our Big Night

[PsychicWalnut]

Ok, it's very evident that this song was intended to be a 'sing-along' at best, but I think I managed a little magic.

Here are the music files:  Located in my sta.sh

Included are the standard, an instrumental, and an attempt to clarify the vocals for pitch and tapping.


I swear, the pony who mixed the audio for the Blu-Ray needs to be shot.  >:(

[Smilley]

What do we do about the reprise? I don't think it'd work as its own song, but the ending to this one is so well rounded and the reprise starts off rather abruptly, I think going from one to the other might be a bit jarring.

[Marioland1]

You pretty much just spoke my mind Smilley.  This is gonna have to take some thought to do well.  I'd be a bit more helpful, except I just played a concert and I'm too tired to really think right now.

[Smilley]

Appearantly, there's an "uncut" version of the song, with the whole lyrics in one take:

I whipped up some notes with a low quality ripped MP3:

I've done what I could about the clipping, but the lyrics for this song never seem to let up for more than 5 beats.

[Marioland1]

Well, it looks like we've sorted out the transition problem then.

[Renard]

I believe the "uncut" version is from the Bluray version, as a bonus. I'll have to check again - iirc that version shows both clips from the show and real-life little girls dressing as the EQG characters.

[PsychicWalnut]

Ugh...  Making the instrumental on this is a nightmare...

I was able to remix the song to match all but about 10 sec of this 'extended' version... but there are some serious pitch shift issues in the remaining section.

Where did this extended version come from?  I couldn't find it on the blu-ray.


I'm seriously tempted to make my own remix with video, and just submit that instead.

[Renard]

My bad, it was actually posted on the official Equestria Girls Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bboX3LpWpE
(maybe I should get the video from there too)

[PsychicWalnut]

OK... bad news... There are sections of the song near the end that simply aren't available in the movie 5.1 source.  Simple cancellation from a stereo source just isn't working either.

I may have to dust off my video editing software and make the video and audio from scratch now, and make my own extended version that matches the movie.

[Marioland1]

I wish you luck on that.

[Smilley]

Appearantly, we have an instrumental.txt for this song, but no MP3.
