That track is evidence that you have no sense of time. Looks like
you're screwed. ROTFLMAO!!!
BTW, besides lack of rhythm, it sucks in every other way imaginable.
Give it up, junior. You suck.

Some of those clips were pretty funny! I wish the
dude who edited that had better chops - the audio
levels are all over the place. It's a serious
bitch that I pitch a LOT in comment threads;
amateurs don't HAVE to suck, especially with all
the editing tools available, most of them for free.
One of the things I *really* can't stand is "background"
music, which is often so thunderous it wipes out the
dialog or narration completely. I use some fairly good
studio cans to listen to stuff on YouTube (AKG K-271 or
K-240 Studio) and even with those a lot of the audio
I encounter is pure crap. The problem is that the people
(or dude or tomato, whatever) doing the mix don't really
realize that the voiceover is not audible to people who
may be listening on a shitty laptop or even a phone,
especially considering that in most cases it will be
the first time they've ever heard the material. The
"producer(s)" of these vids can understand the voiceover
because they have already heard it a dozen or more times
while doing the editing; hell, they may have *written*
the narration, and thus "hear" it over the deafening
music. I post comments to this effect, but I've only
gotten one response from a content uploader thanking
me for the instruction - so far. The technology may
be cool, but one must know how to *use* it for it to
be effective. I am appalled at the number of people
who just don't give a shit.

BTW - another main bitch I have with YouTubers is that
they think boosting the bass way up makes for a "pro"
mix; this is driven by them having listened to a lot
of shitty Hip-hop mixes. The bass on those recordings
may be clean, but it's excessive when being played
back on amateur equipment, and clips the shit out of
the amps, especially the itty-bitty sub-watt chips
the Chicoms put in phones and laptops. Hip-hoppers
mix their shit (and yes, it's largely shit...) on
multi-thousand watt systems with 18" or 24" woofers;
it doesn't have a chance when played back through
the 1" or 2" (or, on phones, sub-inch) speakers
most people will be using. Advice to youngsters:
TURN THAT FUCKING BASS DOWN! Hip-hop is aimed at
those ridiculous boom-car systems which rattle the
glass in your windows when they go by, NOT at laptop
computers or phones.
