I'll bite..who the hell is Justin Bieber? the slowed down song actually is fairly nice, loads better than the one that girl sang.
i would bet it's also very fake. http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/08/17/justin-bieber-slow-u-smile/ the 800% thing is stupid. 800% would make it basically a jumbled mess of nonsense.
Poor MTV... they got hoaxed out of their shoes: http://audioboo.fm/boos/168021-echoes-across-the-astral-wastelands-speed-up/
still, slow something down 8 times and it's going to be a garbled mess. It will not sound as clear as this one does. hell, you slow something down to half speed, and it loses the keys that the notes are in.
so you're telling me you sped that up and it's actually the Justin Bieber song? If not, then i suggest you suck a fat one.
He said he used Paulstretch which offers "spectral smoothing" to make the tone less jagged. Probably explains the near-complete lack of distortion. Biber is the new Enya.
Paulstretch is pretty awesome. Versions of it were used to stretch Beethoven's 9th symphony to 24 hours long back in 2002, which makes for a surreal experience! Look up 9beet stretch.
Justin Bieber reminds me, in terms of looks, of a young Donny Osmond. That video linked above was the first time I had seen him.
