  1. Hey at least the guy didn't try to make his own album and market it as professional and good...

     

    I have fun making music and I'm still doing it, and I got a fairly good reaction. I didn't do anything wrong. How is it dumb for me to try to make music? I posted it to get opinions and help, and that's what I got, and I was appreciative and used it. How does that have anything to do with this thread?

     

    Why am I not allowed to make my own music or try to make an album? I'm not cool enough or something?

     

    That was uncalled for.

  2. Yeesh, I never meant for that to blow up in anybody's face...

     

    Sorry for posting that Crazy4Coasters, but you just have to understand, had I not seen you say something about how you type in Capslock at work there was no way for me to know that.

     

    AND FAST!!! YOU GOT THAT SFMM!!!

     

    The exclamation points didn't help either.

     

    Don't get all upset. This thread is for fun!

     

    Don't be offended, no harm was intended.

  3. My twin, who is also 19 surprisingly, has never kissed a girl. I'm 19 and I've never been in a serious relationship. Does it bother me? Not really. I want to wait for that right person. It's frustrating not knowing when I will meet her, but I'm more than happy to wait for the 'one'. Nothing would suck more than to settle for less.

     

    AWEH! You'll find her. Don't worry, there's always someone out there and I'm sure you guys will find someone perfect for you. It sucks to never know what's coming but it just makes the experience when it does all that more worthwile!

     

    Not as if it's happened to me, though. I've never had my first kiss -.x

     

     

    LAWL, but it's cool. You'll find someone.

  4. You're quite good, I don't think Elton John suits your vocal style well though. Try something like No Air from Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown.

     

    Your vibrato is very thick, it'd sound better if you lessened your fluctuation in your vibrato, you also do sound like you're stressing to hit the higher notes- there's an easy fix for it. Don't try to impress! Sing what you can- because it's when you try to achieve something that you can reach but you have trouble doing so it can make you look bad when you're actually very good.

     

    Rather than trying to impress with a big song- impress with doing what you can very well.

  5. Since I reset my play counts for the new year and I have 6200 songs, which grows daily,my most played has ten plays, but anyways....

     

    10. Breakdown- Mariah Carey

    09. Christmas Tree- Lady Gaga

    08. At Last- Celine Dion

    07. Earth Intruders- Bjork

    06. Christmas Wrappings- The Waitresses

    05. Confessions of a Broken Heart- Lindsay Lohan

    04. Single Ladies- Beyonce

    03. I Hate This Part- The Pussycat Dolls

    02. Poker Face- Lady Gaga

    01. My Life Would Suck Without You- Kelly Clarkson

     

    Yeah, so what, I like pop music........ it happens.

     

    Best list so far aside from mine.

  6. I just put this together in like five minutes. That's all it takes when you have only 200 songs.

     

    &

     

    Damn, and this was supposed to be 10. I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH. I feel like Lady GaGa or Britney or The Veronicas would like.. care if they weren't on here.

     

    *sigh*

     

    I'm pretty sure he means to go look at your 'Top [insert number] Most Played' playlist that is automatically installed on your iTunes and list the 10 highest ranked songs, as opposed to just listing the ten songs on your iPod that you feel are the best.

     

    Anyway, here's mine:

     

    1. Quietdrive- "Both Ways"

    2. Fall Out Boy- "I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth"

    3. Lifehouse- "Whatever It Takes"

    4. Angels & Airvwaves- "Everything's Magic"

    5. Louque- "Kenny The Jet"

    6. Tim Hughes- "Happy Day"

    7. Bloodhound Gang- "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo"

    8. Nickel Creek- "Out of the Woods"

    9. Sister Hazel- "Change Your Mind (Live)"

    10. Lucky Boys Confusion- "Ordinary"

     

    I have a zillion songs that are rated 5 stars in iTunes, so that doesn't work, and my most played list is VERY inaccurate because I had a hard drive crash and most of my songs have like.. 3 plays.

  7. Fashion Report- Pay TV

    Untouched- The Veronicas

    Hook Me Up- The Veronicas

    Popular- The Veronicas

    Someone Wake Me Up- The Veronicas

    In Another Life- The Veronicas

    Take me on the Floor- The Veronicas

     

    [Okay, so that's already like half the tracks from The Veronica's album Hook me Up, so... just imagine the rest are there too]

     

    Drive my Soul- Lights

    February Air- Lights

    The Last Thing On Your Mind- Lights

    White- Lights

    Ice- Lights

    Don't Trust Me- 3OH!3

    Buttons- The Pussycat Dolls

    I Hate This Part- The Pussycat Dolls

    Poker Face- Lady GaGa

    Money Honey- Lady GaGa

    The Fame- Lady GaGa

     

    [Also, instead of going on... and on... and on about Lady GaGa, every single track on The Fame, amazing album.]

     

    Circus- Britney Spears

    Womanizer- Britney Spears

    Unusual You- Britney Spears

     

    [Every song on Circus by B here too..]

     

    Raver's Fantasy- TUNEUP!

    Euro Dancer- Rob Hilton

    Basshunter- DotA

    Ian Van Dahl- Castles in the Sky

    Jeffree Star- So Fierce

    Jeffree Star- Picture Perfect

    Jeffree Star- Miss Boombox

    Jeffree Star- Heart Surgery Isn't That Bad

     

    Kylie Minogue- Speakerphone

    Kylie Minogue- Like a Drug

    Kylie Minogue- Light Years

     

    [You know, every song from Kylie Minogue- X too.]

     

    And like a zillion other songs and albums that I'm obsessed with that I'll feel bad for missing later.

     

    Damn, and this was supposed to be 10. I LOVE THEM TOO MUCH. I feel like Lady GaGa or Britney or The Veronicas would like.. care if they weren't on here.

     

    *sigh*

  8. Guess I'll go with the "Don't ask don't tell" way then.

     

    No! Don't hide who you are to satisfy others! Be yourself- if they can't accept you for the person that you are then why would you want to be around them? I'm gay, personally and if my friends didn't accept me for the way I am then I wouldn't be friends with them. Don't ask, don't tell should be called "Hide your feelings and who you are so society doesn't have to feel upset. "

     

    If they get upset, let them be upset because you know you're the bigger person! Be free

  9. I don't 'bike' but I'm happy to see that TPR isn't full of idiots like my mom's boyfriend who act like you're 'yuppy and stupid' if you drive a honda and the only thing you can ride EVAR KNOWN TO MAN is a Harley if you wan to be a 'cool' biker.

     

    You also have to weigh 500 pounds, be a womanizer, have a beard that is disgustingly un-groomed and long, constantly and only wear leather and black and be obsessed with fire, death, skulls and eating if you want to be a 'real biker.'

     

    I hate people. They make me angry. Bikers don't piss me off if they're just your average joe that rides a motorcycle.

     

     

    I'm going off on a tangent, I'ma stop now. I have to say though, I think the Hondas and the Suzukis look way cooler than Harleys

  10. TPR TV.

     

    CoasterTube limits you to coaster videos.

     

     

    I worked really hard on it- hope you like it!

     

    I personally don't really like bevels and gradients much, but I think this image suits the site extremely well, gives it a carnival-esque atmosphere and also looks sharp. I did, rather than letting each character be it's own identity modify the font on 'TPR' to combine it into one element.

     

    Not asking you to use it, not at all, just thought you might like it, and it might help with some ideas.

  11. Not trying to be a wet blanket on the love fest, but I don't really understand why you guys think these are so amazing great. They pretty much sound like they are, a kid doing an okay job with tinkering around in Garage Band. It's not hard to make the drum and synth loops, they made the program so anyone could easily do them. Sean, I think you show a lot of potential, but I'd work on trying to make these not sound so manufactured and computer generated. Most good electronica (in my opinion) doesn't have that "sounds like it got generated in a free program" vibe.

     

    Also, I'd totally stay away from vocal effects. It's like when you see someone use a lot of cheesy transitions when they are first learning to edit videos, it's seriously distracting and seems like you're using it as a crutch. Kanye killed auto-tune, let's all move on.

     

    I think it's great you are putting your stuff out there, and I would encourage you to continue, but I have to be honest when I say I don't think either of these are very good.

     

    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate that! And I don't have very many vocal effects on in Plasticity, I have the auto tuney effect on but it's not on that heavy. I do really like them though, the artist I'm most inspired by is Lady GaGa, and if you don't like her music you probably wouldn't like mine, haha.

     

    I don't know if you realized this, but I didn't just use pre set loops, I made them with my keyboard. Thanks for listening, though, I appreciate your advice.

     

    PS: Sounding totally computer generated is what I wanted

    You guys can use Plasticity and Lively for whatever you want, I'd appreciate the "helping me get out there-ness."

     

    You can also hear the new song I'm working on there, I really hope you enjoy it, I think it's my best yet.

  12. As someone who also makes their own music, I really enjoyed both songs, but more-so Plasticity...Was that a vocoder or auto-tuner you used to alter your voice in the song? What program do you use to make your songs? I'm currently using FL-Studio 8. Anyhow, great job!

     

    P.S. One of my favorite things to do is make album covers...so if you ever don't feel like putting one together, let me know!

     

    It's an effect that splits my voice into keys. And I'm a graphic designer, so I'm designing my album art- but thank you so much for the offer!

    The full version of Plasticity! I've completed the song!

     

    As for what application I use, I just use Garageband on my Mac. =]

     

    PS: Instead of double posting, I decided to delete the previous post to post this one, as I figured a complete song is worth a new post but I didn't want to double post- hope you understand!

    Plasticity...

     

    DANCE WITH ME!

     

     

    Those are the lyrics for the song! Just as a note- the little snide comments at the end are not what I'm like, I'm playing a character for the song, just so people don't take me as like that.

  13. I liked plasticity up until the "Hearts can never beat....something...plasticity." It was really cool at first and I liked it.

     

    As for the cover, it looks like a bad myspace photo gone wrong.

     

    And for the Lively song the only things I have against it right now is the first time you say "tonight" in the song it kinda fades out, I'd fix that.

     

    Also just tweak the deep voice in Lively just a LITTLE less it still takes over just a TAD.

     

    Other then that these songs are pretty good.

     

    P.S! EXTREMELY IMPORTANTE! My moms sitting like 5 feet away from me and she cant understand the words so try upping the lyrics and articulating more to make sure its all right.

     

    Thanks for the advice! I understand what you mean about the not-being-able-to-understand-the-vocals part of Lively, but I intended for my vocals to, rather than standing alone, going against the melody to become a part of the melody. Rather than making Lively more dependant on the vocals I decided it'd be best to have a song that contrasts the style of music, so then I came up with Plasticity, which is a far more lyrical song that depends much more on my vocals than Lively, and it's pretty clear what I'm saying.

     

    I do like the little break in Plasticity, where my vocals go all light an airy with the lack of beat, my friends like it too and so do my parents, but I totally respect your opinion. I'll try to fix the deep voice a bit more but I really, really like it and so do my friends. I think I'll keep it the way it is- I hope you understand!

     

    Thanks for listening!
