Aeronerd submitted a new sequence:

Deck The Halls - Mannheim Steamroller

This sequence and it's geometric full colors grew on me each time I watched it in person. Lots of motion, great energy from the music, and really a fun sequence to watch!

Please do check out my other original sequences as I've put tremendous time into these, and love providing them to the community for free to help provide Christmas cheer for others. If you can ever share video of your show using my sequences, I would...

I loved the video, but sadly, the sequence file does not match me. The length of the sequence is about 1 minute total. Also, the music you used for this starts a bit differently than the music you produced from the recording I have on Apple Music.

The preview video captured a second or so of the prior song concluding. One thing that made my show last year fun, but sharing sequences difficult is that I blended every song together for a seamless sequence. The show never really stopped I hope the preview video gives you the information you need to get the audio set up correctly. I'm sorry for not including audio, I'm just trying to be lawful and not spoil my christmas light fun with legal trouble.

Were did you download the audio file from all the versions I have found have added to it

 

[Aeronerd]

I did trim the audio. three segments. I might suggest audacity if you want a free audio editor.

5:06 to 28.03
54.03 to 1:39.07
2:50.13 fading out to 3:04.20

ok im lame and i can't get the audio edits right. Anyone mind sharing the edited audio with me? I can obviously share proof of audio purchase from amazon to keep things kosher.

@Aeronerd can you help with the audio? I purchased from Amazon but am unable to get the timing cuts right.

This sequence is really nice but I too am having issues with the sound editing. My edits don't sound like your edits. Of the 5:06 to 28.03, 54.03 to 1:39.07 and 2:50.13 (fading out to 3:04.20) are the keepers and cuts? I'm no audio mixer guy so I do not know the lingo but I understand Audacity enough to cut up the music, fade not so much but I'll figure it out.

 

[pcronin]

Did anybody ever get the edited version, I really like this version. I also can show proof I bought the song.

I've tried editing the audio, deleting everything up to 5.06 then deleting 28.03 to 54.03 and 2:50.13 to 3:04.20 but my end result is still 1:51. I'm Steamrollered out.... If anyone figures this puzzle out I might try again. Good learning experience though. When I start sequencing my own stuff I'll take crazy notes if I have to edit my music. I would hate to have to come back and have to figure out when and where I did my edits weeks after I did all that work. Aeronerd, this sequence is really cool and I wish I could incorporate it into my show but I can't quite figure out the audio. I am nowhere near as good as you at sequencing. I need at least 100 hrs of YouTube watching to even start trying. Perhaps with proof of purchase you can hook us up with your edited track?

Sorry you've hit some difficulty Express, and thanks for the compliments on my sequence. I too am a bit stuck on how to best provide for people on sequences where I edited the song to be shorter (all of my show songs basically). I can't just post the edited music, and I can't realistically provide it to thousands (yea.... I have thousands of downloads now across my sequences very cool) of people showing proof of purchase. Maybe this is a reason I should just sequence full songs. I target 1:00 to 1:30 songs for better audience retention. seems to work well. our whole society is calibrated to tic toc videos now

The discussion on my grinch sequence suggests a few solutions others used to get the music up and running.

Christmas Sequence - You're a mean on Mr. Grinch

Aeronerd submitted a new sequence: You're a mean on Mr. Grinch By far the favorite of my visitors in my 2023 show. The music has been reduced in length to keep songs moving, so know that this is a short 1:10 second sequence... but that really kept audience retention up with rapidly changing...

I guess one thing to look forward to is that one of my new sequences this year is a custom remix of "do you hear what I hear" so I'll be able to include that music since I'm the artist (that sampled the classic song.... but it's remixed so it should be ok?)
