The first minute of this combo is pretty rough. It's almost completely OOK (out of key). It's not as bad after the first minute, but I don't think the mix is salvageable.

Sometimes we have to move on to the next mashup and chalk this one up to a "learning experience."

Hey satis5d,

Just read your opinion regarding my mashup Oye Shape Of Spanish (oye Me Canto Mashup). Wish it had been a positive one, but unfortunately it was not. I do have to respond and note that all tracks used in the mashup are synced in the same key of C#m.
I'd really like to hear Happy Cats Disco's opinion...

Respectfully,

Well, Happy told me the last couple of times that he does not like pitch changed instrumentals that are not varispeeded (and he was right, I admit).
Because you mention 'sync' in your text that could be the case here. You can try to flip the mashup around, and change the single vocal of Ed one semitone and leave the (multitrack) mental as it is.
Also I found out that the key that sync programs give, is NOT always right. But Ed Sheeran is really in C# minor. So NORE can be another key than you think. (I dont know the song).

Hmmm... Well, I understand the point you are making. Yet not sure if it actually applies here.
But I will give it some thought. Ed Sheeran in the Shape of You is in C#minor as you mentioned, and it is the instrumental of Oye Mi Canto that was originally in A#minor that was changed to C#minor match.
