The audio page top list is entirely automated. The four tracks on the main front page, however, are chosen by audio moderators.
Newgrounds Audio Portal does not accept submissions that used mixcraft.

Resonance doesn't quite work like that, well it does, but the sort of frequencies you'd need to do that would be far beyond what could be considered sound.
Microwave ovens pretty much use that principle to cook things.

I think it's somewhere in the ocean.

BOUNC3 WE ALL KNOW THAT JUST LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC WILL KILL SOMEONE BECAUSE IT'S SO BAD LOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG
The song 'Gloomy Sunday' supposedly fueled a hell load of suicides.
Apart from that, any sound can kill if you punch it out with an incredible amount of energy, with amplifiers in the terrawatt range.
Holy crap, Brja, that's a fuckton of delay there!
You realise that it's reverb and not delay that stops you sounding shit at singing, right? :-P

Ok, that came across a lot less cynical and a whole lot more perverted than I was hoping.

They sound great (I'm not a U2 fan, but Bono records with a 58), they're tough, they're easy to use, they're an industry standard, they're incredibly versatile, they handle massive SPLs, and they will sound much better in a bad room than a condenser will.
True story. The number of dents you have in your SM58 popguard is directly proportional to the size of your dick.
SM57 is a good mic if you plan on recording acoustic instruments as well as vocals, but a TOP SECRET PROTIP is that an SM58 almost perfectly matches the frequency response of an SM57 if you unscrew the pop guard.
USB microphones tend to be horribly overpriced for their quality. Look into getting a cheap, small mixer like this Behringer Xenyx and top that off with a SM58. Obviously, shop around for them, and you should be able to get the whole set for around 100 quid - bit more expensive than a USB mic but much better quality.
There is so much ego in this thread it's actually generating a gravitational pull.
ITT: Everyone fails to notice a shamefully un-subtle self advertising attempt.
Due to the fact that when you upload to reason, you are releasing under a creative commons license, it is illegal to upload any material that cannot legally be re-licensed in that way.
If you remix a track and 'release it' for listening only, then you could get away with it under fair use, but that isn't the case with newgrounds. Everything you remix with must be eligible to be used under a creative commons license.
I've had this issue, it turned out it just takes a day or two for the updated track to be put up.
Approval is an entirely manual process done by a smallish number of unpaid volunteers, so the speed that stuff gets approved depends on how many hours each moderator can put in to get tracks through.
It can take anything from a few minutes to a few weeks depending on the backlog of tracks waiting to be approved, and whether or not a moderator as actively sitting there watching tracks as they come in! Unfortunately, there is no easy way to automate this problem without a lot of illegal stuff getting through.
You were banned for the track '"Beats" Of Grunginess!' which was comprised solely of an obviously stolen loop.

Fallacy. 'Life after Love' used vocoders, not autotune.
is this (auto tune) the thing that you hear in pretty much every song today? That their voices sound like they change pitch like a synthetic/robot? Forgive me if i am not sure i never heard the word before.
Yes and no. If autotune is being used properly, the listener should not be aware it has been used at all, unless it's being applied as an effect rather than a precision process to enhance the recording.
Use your own judgement. Even if you remake a video game track from scratch, the intellectual copyright holders could DCMA your ass, but that's pretty rare.
Video game covers are free publicity for them, who cares if you make a few pennies off adshare.

Which means you've been infected with the virus for a month until avast updated their heuristics database with that particular viruses signature. Sure hope you haven't done any online banking.
Heck, even if an artist rents out a studio and asks not to be autotuned, they probably will be anyway. It saves so much time and money to fix a few tiny timing and tuning errors than re-recording everything over and over again. There's nothing wrong with trying to be perfect, but if you have to do 18 recordings of a vocal line and cut out the good bits and stick them together, that's a much more dishonest and cheaty practice than autotune, in my opinion.
Also yes, it can do some very interesting effects. Only real objection I have to it is in live performance where it's not being used as an effect but as a stealthy correction system.
Sounds like you've been ripped off. If it's a cheap, generic chinese no-name mp3 player, what could have happened is they fooled the chips into the device to say they have a larger capacity than it actually does, so they can sell a 1gb mp3 player as a 4gb one. It will show up as having the space, but trying to write files beyond its actual capacity will cause those files to be 'corrupted' (written to the index of the device but not actually to the storage space), or may even fuck up the devices formatting all together.
Send it back, get a real mp3 player.
It's hard to pinpoint where bass is coming from, and on anything other than headphones it's pretty much impossible. Since the bass end of orchestral tracks is provided by such a small group of instruments, it tends to get panned centered to keep the stereo field balanced.
...Zenhiser? Are you serious?
Rip off names are great.
OSX has a definite advantage in music production in the form of superior Core Audio drivers without requirement for specialist hardware, as opposed to ASIO on windows which has a much higher processor overhead and requires high-end sound cards. That said, the money you would save buying a PC over mac hardware would probably allow you to buy that hardware.
Advances in OSX 10.6 might see OSX taking the lead again in graphics design, with open-source multi-thread management systems and OpenCL GPU acceleration which, if Adobe decide to work on, would end with serious performance benifits in their CS software.
OSX also has logic, so if you're desperate to get a taste of what gets used in the industry, it's a good starting point. Not a hard operating system to pick up.
