How To Nightcore by ChatGPT

[Zurd]

From ChatGPT version GPT-4-turbo released September 2023

A **Nightcore** song is essentially a sped-up remix of an original track, usually featuring an increase in tempo and pitch to create a more energetic, upbeat sound. Here's a step-by-step guide to making your own Nightcore song:

### Tools You'll Need:
1. **Audio editing software** like:
- **Audacity** (Free and easy to use)
- **FL Studio** or **Ableton Live** (for more advanced users)

For this guide, I'll use **Audacity** as an example, as it’s widely available and user-friendly.

### Steps to Make a Nightcore Song:

#### 1. **Download Audacity** (if you don’t already have it):
- You can download Audacity from the official website: [Audacity](https://www.audacityteam.org/).
- Install it on your system.

#### 2. **Open the Original Song in Audacity**:
- Launch Audacity.
- Import the audio file by going to `File > Import > Audio...` and selecting the song you want to turn into Nightcore.

#### 3. **Speed Up the Song**:
Nightcore is typically created by speeding up both the tempo and the pitch of a track. You can do this in Audacity by using the following method:

- Select the entire track (Ctrl + A or Command + A on Mac).
- Go to `Effect > Change Speed...` (this will affect both tempo and pitch).
- Increase the speed by adjusting the "Percent Change" slider. Typical values for a Nightcore remix are between **15% to 30%** faster than the original track. You can experiment to find the sweet spot that sounds best.
- Click **OK**.

#### 4. **Preview and Fine-Tune**:
- Play the song to check how it sounds. You might want to adjust the speed or the pitch slightly depending on how it turns out.
- If you want to adjust the tempo without changing the pitch, use `Effect > Change Tempo...`.
- If you want to adjust the pitch independently, use `Effect > Change Pitch...`.

#### 5. **Export the Song**:
- Once you're satisfied with the Nightcore remix, export the track by going to `File > Export > Export as MP3` (or WAV, depending on your preference).
- Save the file with a new name to avoid overwriting the original song.

#### 6. **Enjoy Your Nightcore Song**:
- Now, you’ve successfully created a Nightcore track! You can share it with friends, upload it to platforms like YouTube, or just enjoy it yourself.

### Extra Tips:
- **Nightcore Aesthetic**: Some Nightcore creators also add an anime-themed visual or image when uploading to platforms like YouTube. You can pair your Nightcore track with an image using basic video editing software, like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker.
- **Fine-tuning for Best Results**: Every song reacts differently to speed adjustments. Some tracks may sound too distorted when sped up too much, so always adjust according to the original song’s structure.
