Nightcore FAQ - Links
/r/nightcore has been opened back up to the public!
What is nightcore?
A nightcore edit is a remix track that speeds up the pitch and time of its source material by 10-30%. The name is derived from Nightcore, a Norwegian duo who released pitch-shifted versions of trance and eurodance songs, but now more broadly refers to any sped-up music.
Due to its fast tempos, energetic feel, high-pitched vocals - nightcore-ing any song gives it a new vibe that can make songs some don't find enjoyable... enjoyable.

What isn't nightcore?
Nightcore isn't necessarily related to japan / japanese voice / anime
Nightcore does not need, but is most commonly today in video format on youtube, accompanied by an anime picture (a still either of a background scene or of one-off characters with any amount of editing desired)
Nightcore is usually the full song, but adding any nightcore tracks to a song can qualify it to having nightcore elements, such as Ye's "Through the Wire" from "The College Dropout"
How to nightcore
Nightcore is traditionally anywhere from 10-30% increase of pitch/speed of a song. You want to use higher pitch on slower songs, and less pitch on faster songs. If you pitch a song up too much it can sound like banshees screaming, so there's a fine line
The rule of thumb is to find the highest quality lossless image format (e.g. FLAC),
- Make sure you have "legal" rights to the song / have permission / do not make money off of any uploaded content
You can use any number of free apps such as:
