If you're a fan of the Undertale soundtrack, you've probably heard some of the fan-made remixes and covers on YouTube. One such user, iwannabethecollector, has taken things a step further and taken the original Undertale OST and made a "dual mix" with some fan-made covers. So I thought to myself, "Hey, if someone can make a song better by layering two covers in Audacity (or some other audio editing program) then why can't I do it? It's easy, right? Just layer the two songs on top of each other and presto!" As it turns out, it's not as easy as it looks. On top of syncing the songs up from the get-go (because some of them start a few seconds later than the other), a lot of the time you have to make adjustments to the tempo of one of the covers to prevent desync issues. Plus, you have to make sure the two covers work well together. One of my favorite Undertale tracks is "Hopes and Dreams/Save the World", so I took the original song by Toby Fox and mashed it up with String Player Gamer's cover with some of Rush Garcia's orchestrated version. This whole thing took several hours to put together, in terms of getting the first two songs, then finding a third to accompany them that worked well. I also had to spend a lot of time fixing the syncing and tempo, and even now it still isn't 100% perfect. Still, I believe it's in pretty good shape.
