(FP)Adele v Imagine Dragons- Send My LoveTo Your New Thunder

[theitfixer]

So I did a version of this mashup a while ago but the sources for the vocals were not the best and there were some issues that needed sorting so iv finally got around to redoing this mashup so fingers crossed it sounds better than my first version.

So lets get to it!

Sources
Acapella - Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

Your persistence has paid off! Sounds great!



My only nitpick: it does sound like Adele is slightly behind the beat when she comes in around 2:33. She quickly catches back up, though. I think just the first few words (“send my love to your new lover”) could be cut from the rest and nudged backwards just a bit to polish this one up (hopefully for the last time, right?!)

Done

Iv moved it back a little so fingers crossed its now perfect

It sounds like there may be a timing or placement issue between 0:34 - 0:40?

Also, as I understand, you've currently got both sources at C# major, so from changing the pitch of Adele to be in key, it kinda makes her voice sound a bit too low and unnatural for me and therefore difficult to get used to in this way I'm afraid. Another mod may be acceptable of it and like it as it is already, but if possible to do and it works ok, could you perhaps instead change the key of 'Thunder' (C major to D major) to fit with Adele's natural/original tone?

Done - Alternative pitch version added to the first post

With regards to the timing I think its more to do with how she slurs the phrase which makes it sound slightly out so i'm going to leave it like that for now as I could spend ages trying to perfect the phrasing lol.

I can send you the reaper files if you wish to edit it further

This is sick! love the pitched one better

Artistically, I really like the combination.

Unfortunately, it's not technically sound enough for me to recommend. The timing is off in several places. It sounds to me like Adele is at least 3-4 bpms slow and that you've tried to compensate by cutting her acapella track into many pieces and fit them into the right spots. I suggest that you go back and find the speed of Adele that matches and replace her acapella track completely.

Sorry you feel that way - I may re-visit this at some point when I get time

Note I do the whole thing just using reaper - I have no technical knowledge of dj-ing mixing or anything like that

[theitfixer]

Ok I couldn't resist - I have re-done the timings so hopefully it sounds like it flows better without going out of time
