Now, I'm normally not the one to share this kind of stuff but man.. This shit is pretty amazing.
What's really amazing about it is how many people believe it's really Justin Bieber slowed down. It's obviously not (I'm an audio engineer so I'm qualified to tell you this). I got to hand it to whoever wrote the song though - riding off the back of someone else's fame sure is a clever marketing gimmick to get people to listen to your stuff. It's good to see that The Escapist a.k.a. The Great Justin Bieber Free Advertising Machine can actually be used, via threads like this, to promote other artists too.
I just downloaded it and sped it up by 800%. You're wrong. IT IS the song slowed down 800%.
But... it's had a reverb applied to it and a phaser.
For once in your life, BonsaiK, your advice is wrong!
Riiiiight. Sorry but no. Firstly, there's no phaser, not sure what you think phaser sounds like but this isn't it. Secondly, yes there is a ton of reverb. Also, vocals come in (
completely different vocals too, lets not ignore this crucial point) at 0:28 on the ambient version and at 0:10 on the original. If it was time-streched 8 times wouldn't the vocals come in at 1:20? Simple maths alone is enough to tell you that this isn't real.
At most, he's using snippets of the original song, time-stretching and then reverbing the shit out of them with some audio editing tool and then repatching it together to make a completely different track. But to say that if you slow down Justin Beiber's U Smile by a factor of 8 you get this - sorry, bullshit. Prove it if you can, but you won't, because you can't, because it isn't true.
