Reply To: Tis the season to explode the atmosphere
One thing that’s pretty important to get right is the choice of key. I’d suggest that E major (the original key) is out of most of our singer’s comfort zones. I have managed to pitch shift the original source tracks down to D without too much ill effect, so that key is an option while retaining the ability to use the JoCo tracks. C might be a bit low, given the wide vocal range of the song (way wider than WHAP). Either way, key and tempo/timing need to be settled before this goes too far, since downstream changes will be hard to accommodate.
