@@flamaniax5728 thank you so much! There aren't official stems as far as I know, so I used an AI stem extractor to get the stems. I did also use some other elements of the original but in the background (like I layered the guitars in the drop and used some of the original drums in the second verse). I was thinking of recording a video breaking down the project file but idk if I waited too long for people to still be interested lol

@@marcusp2885 thank you!! I'll take a look at PaulXStretch and maybe do a video on it!

@@WangleLine thank you!

thank you!!

i guess you could always gate the audio to the the original to get rid of the pre-ring too tho

thank you!! I'm glad you liked it :)

thank you so much, and huge thank you for inviting me again to this amazing event, you're truly the GOAT and have done so much for the mixing community over the years ♥️

thank you so much, it's my favorite part of the whole mix to be honest

🙏

the vocals are from Hellberg - The Girl and the instrumental in the mashup example is Throttle - For Me!

FL does have zero-crossing detection! In theory just using the zero-crossing to avoid clicks would work great, but I've found that oftentimes it's not very effective in practice. This is because FL Studio is not sample-accurate, so the zero-crossing detection only cuts to the nearest zero-crossing point, not necessarily at the actual zero-crossing point. So, in some cases, you still get noticeable clicks even with zero-crossing detection enabled. You can increase your PPQ in the project settings to get more resolution, but this in turn uses a lot more CPU and still isn't sample-accurate even at the highest setting

@@mostrino Ok interesting. So the resolution of the zero-crossing detection in FL is some multiple of the audio sampling rate, and that multiple is determined by the PPQ? Is the resolution of all these kinds of processes limited by the PPQ of DAWs genrally? With a feature like zero-crossing detection, seems to me it would be sensible to use the sampling rate, no? It's a one-off deal, not like a continual process so why not go down to that level of detail?

@@dalenewton9697 that's right, though other DAWs like Ableton and Bitwig do let you make sample accurate adjustments to your audio in the playlist. I'm not sure why FL doesn't have this as an option, nor do I know why it's so CPU intensive to increase the resolution in FL, while other DAWs that are sample-accurate by default have relatively low CPU usage. If you really want to do sample-accurate editing in FL without having to use another DAW, there is one option: you can use the native FL plugin Edison and load your audio clip into it. Edison will let you make edits to the audio down to the sample-accurate level. That said, you can only have one audio clip per instance of Edison, and you'd have to drag the audio into Edison, edit it, and drag it back into the playlist every time, so it's up to you to determine whether doing this is worth it workflow-wise or not

@@mostrino Ok that's good. I use Bitwig for most of my little projects.

🙏🙏

listening to this while rendering the mashup for yt rn lmfao

huge thank you!!! I'm so glad you liked it

thank you! I use FL Studio

thank you!!

the plugin is available as a VST3 by the way, so you can use it in any daw that supports vst3s!!

thank you!! my next upload is just gonna be a track of mine, but I've got something planned for the upload after that that I hope will be as interesting and in-depth as this one update: decided to push that upload a bit further down the queue, I'll probably upload more music/mixes first, but i still do plan on finishing that video! just a bit further down the line

thank you!!!

thanks! that's actually how I got my name too, my dad gave me that nickname when I was a kid and I just stuck with it :)

thank you!

so happy to hear you liked it, really hope I can help fill that gap
