Totally in time and it works. The original audio file below, is audibly not synchronised but works with a great dynamic energy and is more the exciting piece because of it. Playing it straight here is rewarding to a point, hence the brevity of the piece.
Beaker vs The Chalkwell Ladies Drum & Bass league. I did the audio mashup in September last year but only just got round to the video. It had to come sooner or later. Essential mashing.
I had invaluable help from my friend Mike Shepherd, without whom the video would remain incomplete.
Mike kindly gave a me a night’s worth of his time and editing expertise. Having laid out the video myself in Ableton, alongside the mashup audio arrangement and mix, Mike imported the video files into Final Cut and made all the sophisticated edits, overlays and effects.
Many thanks Mike.
Many thanks too to the Chalkwell Ladies for being spot on and to Beaker for being a good sport too.

MIDI notes go straight from the drum pads to a Yamaha TX7 playing pitched tone. The drum sounds go through a one-repeat delay before they sound, courtesy of a Midiverb II.
