As far as I'm concerned, this is the last mashup I can do. In my update video, there is a list of every orchestral cover I have found that I tried to mash with Sabaton's originals in the description. It lists all the ones that worked, didn't work and those I refuse to do. If you are interested, here: • An Update on Content . That should take you right to that video and explain everything.
As for this mashup, it was nice and simple to make. I'm glad I could use some audio techniques that I learned throughout creating these videos for this one. The reason this took so long is because of me. I kept nagging myself to try many different audio volumes to the point where I couldn't get this one out before Christmas. I had already found the volume that was good, but I didn't want to release this without at least trying most other possibilities. Additionally, afterwards I just found myself indulging in other activities that took my attention away.
Overall, I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. Take care, okay? Merry Late Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
Fun Facts: I don't know how noticeable this is, but I used a progression method for this mashup compared to the English Version. Where the English Version just had a clean, no cut, one-to-one volume ratio between the orchestral and original, this mashup has the verse at a volume of 0.925, the buildup at 0.95 and the chorus at 0.975. I did this because the Joakim's singing would've been drowned out otherwise. Additionally, the part where it goes, "På ett slagfält, döpt i blod" and so on, I had the volume adjusted to 0.675 but used a crossfade to then raise the volume to 1. Also, there was no chance for me to fix the mismatched violin as the drums would be noticeably off beat otherwise. That guitar solo was the only point where there was a one-to-one volume ratio between the original and orchestral.
