DO IT~

An example of the craziness that is the color coded lyrics for Do It! Now (Best Shot Version), released on HelloProjectAllStars' channel, with a cast from Yoproject forums. This was shared with me by the lovable Tomo (TomokyoHamasaki). I first listened to it last night, and I've been listening to it for the past 5-10 minutes.

"It's complete! The insane (best-shot) version of Do it! Now! Containing all 4 versions that were recorded over 4 years by H!P, the lyrics have been dissected and reproduced by singers of Yo! Project!" And some more words from the producer/mixer, Renna, taken from the thread she created in Yoproject's Karaoke section; "Every 2 words, there's a singer/microphone change and 6 hours into the mixing, audacity died.. AND I DIDN'T SAVE so I pretty much mixed this piece twice."

The amount of time and work she put into this is mind blowing. There are spots where a single word is sung by two or three different people, one per syllable. And if it's not that, it's as Renna said, every two words there's a singer change. Plus there are a bunch of different little groups of two or three, where their lines had to be mixed together - and it was done so, seamlessly.

And let's not forget - "Mixing this was devilish as everyone has different microphone qualities but I've done the best I could to equalize it!" Well I think she did a fantastic job!! It sounds like all of these girls were recording in the same room! I'm with hirokibaby, "I like how the volume for everyone's voice is almost the same, so it felt really nice listening to all the transitions from voice to voice."

"It was more frustrating than hard, but I'm glad it's finally done." Freaking 12 hours, somewhere around there is how long this took. I probably would have cried if I got six hours in and had to start all over again. I agree with Gypchan from the forums, "I have no idea how you mixed all of it with all the problems you say you had and did not just throw in the towel halfway through."

Renna's dedication is definitely admirable. "r-e-s-p-e-c-t for your mixing" says FuyumiPopo, and I think the entire dubbing community is thinking the same thing. Here is the link for y'all. If you want to download the MP3, Renna was cool enough to hand it out in the Yoproject thread; so I can actually get it for myself and share it with y'all.

Do It! Now (Best Shot Version) / It'd take me forever to break this up like I usually would, so I'm not going to. I will say that there is incredible pure talent pouring from this dub in waves, seriously. Every single of these singers sounds amazing!! I hear so so so many lines that I completely love. The duets/trios are flipping awesome - so much epic blending.

The "shu-du-du-du" are fun and adorable!! I love everything about this dub; the verses and the chorus. And the rap-singing part starting at 2:03 is so cool and turned out fabulously! The overall energy level was great, such gusto. This dub is beyond spetacular!!
