I’ve always loved the original Ballin’ video — it honestly started everything within the Uma fandom. That video was around two years before it ever blew up, which is wild, right? But as someone who loves vocal covers, it always bugged me how muddied it sounded. You could tell it was a product of its time. So, I decided to honor its legacy the best way I know how — using the skills I’ve learned. Here are the facts about my version: this audio was transferred completely losslessly, in 24-bit depth at 96 kHz quality, all in .wav format. For those who don’t speak audio alien, that basically means the song you’re hearing is studio standard — the same kind of quality artists like Taylor Swift or Calvin Harris use. 96 kHz is technically beyond what the human ear can detect, but it matters for the algorithms I use to make these videos, because it gives them the headroom they need to stay clean and glitch-free. The 24-bit depth gives the mix more range, so if you’ve got good headphones or speakers, you’ll be able to hear every layer — the instrumental and the vocals — crystal clear. I put a lot of love into this, using professional tools to make it the best it could possibly be without actually dragging Mustard and Teio’s VA into the studio myself. And if you want to use this audio, go for it! You don’t need to ask me — just send some love my way if you do. Credit where credit’s due. Thanks, everyone. #umamusume #umamusumeprettyderby #ウマ娘 #fyp - @run_it_takeo
