[S4E09] Apples to the Core

[PsychicWalnut]

Ok, I guess we can start preliminary work on this one...
Sources are from a camera rip, so we will need to replace these later.

MP3: Audio
MP4: Video

Song starts at 2min 4sec

Seems like a worthwhile venture, especially with the singing prowess of Big Macintosh.  He's needed something more to say for a while, and this is just the perfect way to get it to work.  Pinkie Pie will prove to be a surprise though, and it leaves me theorising about the upcoming season.

[Smilley]

Psychic, are you working on the song, or did you just put up the sources for someone else?

[PsychicWalnut]

I have no skill at all with making the notes file.

I put up the low-quality audio/video as a reference for anyone to use. (until I get my hands on a better source)

[Marioland1]

This is probably best put off until there's actually a finished version of the song anyways.  Far fewer cheering crowd members then, not to mention better quality video than the storyboards.  Regardless, it'll be one to look forwards to.

[Smilley]

We've done the same thing with Failure and Ballad of the Crystal Empire back when they were the Season 3 teasers. That way, we only have small editing and gap adjustments to do once the final versions roll along. Anyway, have fun!

[Marioland1]

Makes sense I guess.

[Mordigant]

The song is official now!  Let's get this rolling!

[PsychicWalnut]

Just waiting on the HQ release for solid audio and video.

If current patterns hold, Audio and Video should be ready by Monday.

[Marioland1]

That would be nice.  This song is catchy.  Besides, it's proof that the Apples have some serious dance moves, even while lugging a massive cart loaded with far more stuff than anyone needs for a single road trip (stuff that Big Mac said was necessary, but never actually used if I may add).  Applebloom might be the one to get a dancing cutie mark, not Scootaloo.

[PsychicWalnut]

Yay!  I finished the audio files.

The only thing I didn't like was that ALL the singing was in center channel... Even when they were backup singers.
So... I decided to leave in the chorus audio in the instrumental versions.  I think it still sounds quite good.

As usual, 3 versions of the audio.  Full, Instrumental, and a Pitch Reference(vocal-only track).

Grab em from my sta.sh

[Renard]

Thanks! :D

[Smilley]

Synced the notes to the new audio and did a bit of polishing. Once we have the new video file, I'll upload it.

[Renard]

I'm on it!

EDIT: video available.

[Smilley]

And all synced up.
