Check the amount of stolen clicks/listens the guy has.

On another note, every track he has is stolen. but myspace wont do shit about it. So go ahead and do whatever you please^^

"This is the song I have on my MySpace profile. It was called "A Walk in Paradise." Exact song. Still awesome, I love it!" That must have been a slap in the face... For those who don't know, that is one of the reviews BOUNC3 got on "paradise on E Remake" Personally.. I'm glad my music is kinda sucky! xD If I ever found out some one had stolen my music and claimed it as their's... I would do everything I could to see that person ruined. (I'm not advocating violence... I would sue their ass off!)

Also, if you search for DJ Hopar, it does seem like he may have made a profit (or atleast gained a ton of attention) from "Paradise on E Remake"

Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is laid out in the TOS of pretty much every site on the web. This is the NG version:

LMAO... A picture of the thief? Myspace is funny like that. Stupid nub. the picture of the "producer"

not it... Maybe is there a way to export the flash as a movie clip then stretch the movie clip over the frame to imitate panning and zooming???

it has a preloader from NG. Maybe it's not functioning properly, but I don't think that is the case. I'm gonna check that out now though.

Okay, to keep this short and sweet, basically my problem is two things. Problem one; I put vcam in my flash so I could have an easy camera zoom. If your familiar with vcam, you should know how it all works, so I'm not gonna get into every little detail here. Basically for some reason my flash slows down considerably for the first 30 seconds, then resumes normal play speed. Problem two; because it's slowed down the mp3 no longer syncs with the animation and ends much earlier than it is supposed to. On the time line, everything looks right, but I'm really confused and would appreciate any help you guys could give. Everything on this flash is AS3, so if you have some action script solution, make sure you know it it AS3, and not previous versions.

The best way to think of a project is to take your mind as far away from it as you possibly can. For me at least, one of the problems I have is that; even though I have ideas in my head, none of them seem interesting or fresh. After a good break (play a video game, draw, read, etc...) I can rethink everything and sometimes I find some of my best ideas were the ones I wasn't feeling at that moment.

Another thing you can do is brainstorm. Sometimes it helps to have people's insights (Kinda like this) but you need to be able to have your own ideas and thoughts as well. One problem with a thread like this is that everyone has their own methodology and habits when it comes to the creative process.

You say you need a story. Isn't that the best part about being an animator, seeing your own ideas and stories coming to life. I'm really new to the whole animating thing. I've been uploading audio for a while now, but I decided to test the waters of animation. I just put my first flash up a day ago xp. The project is really ambitious (especially considering it's my fist). http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/49 5899 Writing the story has been the hardest part. Even though I've written stories before, it was easier for me to learn how to and animate the teaser.

If your having trouble think of a story... Just relax, one will come.

I'm definitely interested, but I'm not just gonna work with anyone! If there is a team out there in need of an audio artist, PM me. I've been on NG since 06 and have been uploading my music for the last two.

Hmmm....

Magix... it is just lame

GarageBand... Those fucking loops...

Reason... I couldn't figure it out. (But it did seem high quality)

I use FL8. Not because it's the best, but because it was the only one I could figure out how to use my computer's keyboard as a midi controller. ROFLS! I've been using it for a while now, (The first version I ever had my hands on was 4). I really like it, but it could just be that I've became comfortable with it. I would love to have a ProTools rig, but that's far too expensive. LMAO!! I seriously almost moved to LA to go to the Art Institute because they offered a degree in audio production and ProTools training (They also said that as a student I could access the studios, but I realized every other student probably wants to as well, which would mean little time to actually get into their studios).

And as for VST's, if your relying on your DAW's built in stuff, you're limiting yourself. I really hate 90% of FL's VI, but that could just be that I was stuck with them for so long. I actually can't think of a FL plugin that I use regularly, with the exception of a few effects.

First of all... Self whoring is the sign of a desperate artist.

Second of all, there are threads for that sort of thing. http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/2538 61

I know this! But I really hate seeing the, "WRONG GENRE" comments. It's not my falt NG doesn't have a trip-hop section.

I put the song up in Hip-Hop Modern. We'll see how it goes. xD

Oh's, and I know there is a miscellaneous category, but ehhhh...

Okay, so it's kind have been a struggle for me lately to stick my songs into a genre. My newest song has been the most challenging to date. My style is really all over the place. What I was wondering is if there is anyone out there with a good ear for genres who could help me place my newest song. I don't want to upload it until I can think of the appropriate genre. It's influenced by a ton of different styles, that's what makes it hard to place. Since I don't want to put it up until i can figure this out, just let me know you're willing to help. If you want you can check out my page to get some sense of my style, but I'm really random.

I have the skullcandy hesh... They were a total waste of money. Sound quality good for mp3 and everyday listening, but fail as studio headphones.

LOLOL... Dude, are you serious! I just went to your page and literally I fell to the floor and started laughing. It's like a bucket of shit complaining about the smell in a bathroom. Trust me, people like you are only adding to the problem.

a) get started on something new, and risk suckage or

This is really the only way to go. It's the creative process. Even if it takes a couple songs, eventually you'll get one you like. And don't rush it. Sometimes it takes me a whole day to get something that I feel like putting on NG. I've definitely uploaded my share of sucktagious songs though. But hey, at this point, they can't all be winners xp

b) work on a previous song, extending it by 2 minutes?

This isn't the best route to tell you the truth... Work songs all the way through to completion. Try not to go backwards creatively. When you make a song, try to make it the best it can possibly be so that you feel there is nothing more you could do it. Use all the skills and tricks you know to make each song as crazy and good as you can. After a few songs, A) You'll notice an improvement overall in your music and B) You'll be able to focus your energy forword which will make for many new songs!

Just FYI

Is there a project in mind or are you just team building? If ther is a project in mind I would recomend telling the artists what it is.

Umm... Instead of getting swept up in the side chatter, I would try it if I were you. My favorite thing is that you can approach it from so many angles. I honestly think techno and hip hop are pretty damn fun to make.

It's all about perspective though. I'm a Trip-Hop producer. I don't even have a real place to call my own on newgrounds. But coming from the Hip-Hop side of the tracks, I think it's nice to see Hip-Hop representing! I actually have some Hip-Hop up on the list this week, 2 songs in fact. The fact that this was a good week for hip hop shouldn't be a big deal. Techno, Trance, and all the other popular genres will return next week. Although, eheheh, Hip-Hop is contagious. So it could be that with the increase in decent (and not so decent) Hip-Hop, as well as people appreciating it. Listen to the Hip-Hop that made it this week. It's all really good. It's not like too much shitty music makes it's way to the top. Personally I don't like seeing the voice acting stuff on the weekly's but it happens, and there are people out there who must be appreciating it. People can knock it all they want, but it's there. Haters just make the game more interesting. On that note, even though this is kinda like telling a bull to piss in the toilet, people should just relax in here. WTF does a score matter. Is everyone really so insecure??? Or is it that they need reassurance that what they do is good? rofls, what ever. The funny thing is, if score is really important, everyone would realize that self voting and zero bombing does not make your tack better, it makes you worse because instead of focusing your energies creatively, you're wasting them in stupid negative ways... ROFLS!

....HIP HOP FTMFW....
(This week anyways)

And just btw... T-Pain is insane... His rapping is kinda stupid but holy shit his beats! Dirty shit, and I don't care what anyone says, dude can produce.

Okay, I've been up all night. So please forgive me if I type like a tard...

Hip-Hop is much more than just any one style of music. Between my two accounts I'm all over the place in terms of my style (mainly Hip-Hop). Personally I can't settle on just one. Unfortunately there are only a few places to stick them. But I think a big thing for the audio community here to remember is that the Audio portal is here to serve Flash artists, not Audio artists such as ourselves. In terms of what flash developers are looking for, hip hop doesn't seem to fit their needs.

As far as i know, we cant do that. Correct me if i'm wrong though.

As far as I know, you can use copyrighted music in your flash, as long as you don't make any money from it.

Also, I'm up for the edit, though I don't have the song. Hit me up on PM :)

Just don't upload the song to the Audio Portal and you should be good. Using the song is fine so long as you don't profit from the sale or use of the flash. I'm not sure if the revenue sharing thing counts though. I would really suggest searching the audio portal thoroughly before you use the song.

So hopefully I can get my idea out without being flamed. (You know, the normal forum stuff. First time being here, so I don't know how the people are here.)

And so it shall be done xp

So, I know there are a lot of songs to be reviewed, but is there any idea when the voting ends?

eheheh new spiffy forum sig xp

LMAO

Okay so MeastroRage's music is back up. We can all be at peace! thank god. it would have been sad if this wasn't just a joke.

So annoying.

But also...

Funny cause some people don't own a calender apparently.

I have been wondering the same thing. I know I've seen a few remixes and songs with full acapellas over them, but I don't know if it's legit.

Really the best thing to do is find a vocal coach. There are a lot of exercises you can find online, but without someone who knows what they are doing, some of the value is lost. Also, effects. You've been to a concert right? Notice how only roughly half of the singers out there actually sound any where near as good as they do in studio recordings. Now I'm not advocating AutoTune, but things like reverb and delay change the song of a voice a lot. lmao, that's why people sound better in bathrooms. LMAO! We actually used to record my friend singing in a public restroom because it had sweet acoustics and reverb. Also the mixing and EQ of vocals is very important. Another thing would be a decent mic. BUt like I said, there is nothing that can really make you a better singer, other than maybe practice and a vocal coach. Also, when you sing, sing your heart out. never hold back!

What a poor answer. McDonalds sells the most hamburgers in the world, does that mean they make better hamburgers than my mom?

But can your mom also make an M&M Mcflurry! ^_^ lol, but what you said is true. I mean, ProTools kills everything else. And just like your mom's delicious burgers, it's not like everyone can get their hands on it. I use FL8 (used it since it was fruity loops 4) I have tried Reason, but I was so inexperienced I didn't know what the fuck to do with it! FL8 is a great program. My not be as good as ProTools, but for most people, it does the job right

well i just asked for an awnser and u come up with this shit about me getting banned i have heard numerous songs made with garage band here so i dont care watt u guys think about how i make my music or if its illegal im not even old enough to go to jail so i would shut up GOD DAMN IT! And well FYI it kinda is music cuz it plays and u can here it so yea its music and its damn good too.

Okay, so you won't go to jail, just get massive fines that your parents will have to pay. And garage band is dumb. Especially because almost everyone who uses it takes those fucking same goddamn loops that every other person with the program has and calls it original work. Garage band is for people who have little creativity and almost no musical ability. I'm not saying there aren't people who can work wonders with it, but it's rare.And also, just because my farts go from A to G don't make it music. What you described is called... wait for it... you ready? It's called sound.
