I never understood the whole "Nightcore" thing or the name. What does pitching up & speeding up music have to do with Night?
I prefer the complete opposite. I like to use the app to set the pitch down to -7.54 and set the tempo to half the normal speed down to 50% and add some reverb.

No offense meant to those that like to listen to Nightcore.
