After School Special - Progressive Insurance Sound

Post by ThunderBoyDavid » Thu Jul 09, 2015 1:00 am

You know the Progressive Insurance Commercial where Flo and the young guy are in the locker room. According to YouTube it's the After School Special Commercial.
i Really love how the music in the background kind of drags and skips.. reminds me of the 70's and 80's commercials.
My Question is... is there a way to reproduce that affect on any given track?? Could there be a Component Add-On that might be out there that can help me achieve this??
Or is this just way to crazy and stupid... and i should find something else to waste my time on????
Thanks for all the Help!!!, David, ThunderBoyDavid

I changed your title a little to make it a little less like you're trying to sell insurance on the forum. Good thing I read your post.
