New mixes since last post include:

Kaeritakunatta GOGO — ikimono-gakari × MilkyWay

This one has its moments. Largely a failure. Oh well.

Rakuten Eagles ga Jama wo Suru — GAM × AKB48

Probably the most natural-sounding artificial key change in my remixing history (there’s no key change in “Daisuki Rakuten Eagles”). Those are hard to pull off; they often end up crackly or Chipmunk’d. Yay for Melodyne!

LU LU LU no Inori — GAM × Mano Erina

A tearjerker and one of my personal favorites. “LU LU LU” has never sounded so sad and hopeless before. Too bad the vocal rip was a mess. *shakes fist at UFW*

Hatehatena no Waltz — Hanasaki Cobeni starring Kikkawa Yuu × Eco Moni.

My first 3/4-time mashup. (H!P very rarely releases any non-4/4 time songs.) Quality isn’t too great for various reasons, lack of an instrumental being one of them. It’s a shame neither of the artists represented were ever given their own single and instead had to piggyback on releases featuring other artists. (The linguist in me is screaming at the grammatical weirdness of that last sentence. Ahem.)

Seishun HEAVEN — Yaguchi Mari × Perfume

Yaguchi’s vocals are a bit too much for this song.

That album is still in progress, but for those of you who’ve enjoyed my remixes, I’ve assembled all of my publicly released mixes (and a few more) into three volumes for easier downloading.

The tracks are ordered by when I finished them, not when I released them. The four tracks in blue were not previously released.

If you’re just starting to listen to these, I would recommend starting with Volumes 2 and 3 (or the last four tracks of Volume 1). Much of Volume 1 is terrible, because I was just starting out at that point (“Khan no Dance Site” was my first remix).

Enjoy!

I’m pleased to announce that the long-awaited remix album is now in … post-production? Something like that. Will be out soon, hopefully. In the meantime, I’ve racked up a bucketload of additional remixes, so I’ll be releasing a bunch of them shortly.

Also, I’ve finally figured out how to turn an audio file, a text description, and a background image into a video on the command line. Yay! No more wasting 15 minutes struggling through a GUI to do something that’s not actually video editing at all. This process took only 5 seconds when I ran it on the command line. And the general idea could also be applied to dubbing a PV with an audio file.

Here’s what I did using Ubuntu 8.04 and the ffmpeg and convert utilities. Configure as you wish; your system may vary.


% convert -font helvetica -fill white -pointsize 20 -draw "text 6,20 'Title'" -pointsize 12 -draw "text 6,48 'Artist'" background.jpg output.jpg
% ffmpeg -loop_input -shortest -f image2 -i output.jpg -i audio.mp3 -ab 192kbps -y outputvideo.mpg
