I think you're posting in the wrong forum, and nobody here really cares either way about either of those groups.

If it's a commercial release, talk to Rucklo or one of the other bigwigs and you might get permission to do so - Newgrounds is always happy to promote the success of its userbase!
Stop posting. You broke the rules, you were banned. End of.

You've got it all wrong!
The point of 4:33 is that the sounds around the listener make the music, if you put any sounds in the remix at all, you're doing it wrong.
The latest versions of mixcraft support audio recording and arranging, not just loops. It's still pretty rubbish with it though.
It's a toy trying to be a professional DAW. Doesn't work too great. That said, I've noticed a hell load of new tracks coming into the AP claiming to be made with mixcraft - causes extra work for me, there's a lot more sample copyright issues to chase up over it.
Your song has not been approved yet because it contains samples which are of questionable origin. You should have received a PM asking you to explain your production methods/where you got the samples from.
It is against both the AP rules and the law to use samples from commercial pieces of music without permission to do so.
Surround sound systems can be got for a much lower price than cheap studio systems.
You're probably asking in the wrong place, to be honest. Since you asking musicians and not AV boffins, you're going to be getting suggestions for expensive studio monitors and the like when really you should be looking into things like 5.1 surround systems.
There are ways to do it with software but generally speaking, you'll need pretty good sound hardware to pull it off.
There are a variety of toy-quality software voice changers that work pretty decently. If you want more control, you could use ASIO4ALL and rewurshul to directly input audio into Reason, and then route through the effects there.
Latency will be a big issue though, as even if you have pretty high quality sound gear with ASIO and a fast processor, you're still going to get a very noticeable couple of milliseconds of input latency. With dedicated analogue hardware like effects pedals, you will not get any noticeable latency at all.

Trying not to sound like a troll, linux is a terrible, terrible operating system for music production. Should have stuck with windows, or better, lapped up that core audio advantage you get with OSX.
There are tools for it though. There is a library of ubuntu packages called ubuntu studio that has a whole bunch of audio, video, art and 3d software in it, but there isn't really anything available for linux that can compete with XP/OSX software.
Although every little helps Mich, and I'm sure you would make an excellent mod, after doing it for a couple of days, I've realized that you can be much more helpful to people on the forums and the audio portal through other means - not that I'm saying you shouldn't want the position, but at the same time it's not some magical power that every time you approve a song you're fixing the portal!
Think about what us mods do. We approve or we ban. It's not much more than a glorified (but very necessary) blam/protect system as is in the flash forum, except instead of judging on quality, we judge on legality.
If you really want to help the users of Newgrounds, give them support on the forums, answer their questions regardless of if you also need to redirect them to a sticky. Go onto the AP, find a few tracks and leave helpful reviews - that's what I try to do, even with these extra tasks assigned to me!
I'll definitely vouch for you should more moderators be needed, but don't be bitter because you weren't picked out this time! You can make as much of a difference as any mod can just by being a regular user.
I've checked out tutorials for audio software just for the hell of it, and sometimes I was pretty damn shocked at what they included.
A friend showed me a (very expensive) video tutorial pack for cubase where most of the things demonstrated were done in a downright wrong and inefficient way. I've seen videos from commercial tutorials for modeling software where the guy shooting the video obviously had very little idea of the basic concepts behind the software he was using! Since they're aimed at beginners, tutorials like this would teach bad practice without question.
Everything I've seen and heard about pretty much any company that makes commercial tutorials makes me think they're scamming more than anything else. Free online tutorials are much better, because they're made by people passionate about the software, not people trying to get money out of you.
Well I honestly didn't see this coming, thanks for the responsibility and I hope I'll be able to help around here!

Um...
But there is little point in having more than one sub. Even if you have two playing stereo, you're not going to get much directional sensation from them - the wavelengths of the low frequencies subs produce are incredibly hard for the human ear to judge where they are.

If you're going to use acronyms, you don't need to define them in every post you make.
Probably, everyone does it, infact it's pretty common for people to make their own loops for the sake of getting the extravigant produced sound they want in their tracks.
The problem with the concept of loops is that people who havn't considered the benifits or aren't fond of a genre which does make use of samples is that it's some sort of childish drag-and-drop approach to music, when really it's a very complicated entirely different way of approaching the act of musiking. Just because you are using unoriginal material does not mean you cannot be origional with how you use it!
Your processor is a bit shit, to be honest, and audacity does not have multicore support to any great extent, which is probably causing the issue.
Normally when this sort of thing happens, the popping sound you hear when playing back audio in audacity is simply your audio buffer is not large enough (editable in preferences) for the processor to keep up - that said, if you export the track, there should be no popping whatsoever.
But otherwise, I suggest upgrading your hardware.

There are some audiophile-quality type anti-distortion cards that supposedly help filter out line noise, but being audiophile-quality, they're stupidly expensive, moreso than a new card, and as audiophile is synonymous with pseudo-science, whether they actually do anything that strapping a lump of quartz to your speakers wouldn't is pretty much up in the air.
It's pretty much impossible to fix this. Some laptops do have grounding issues that can be fixed by running the laptop off battery which results in a clearer signal, but pretty much all laptops and integrated sound-card computers have some degree of interference from other components.
Get yourself a USB soundcard, preferably one that is powered by its own transformer and not via USB.
Go get hold of a program called audialhub. It's pretty cheap and converts literally any audio format to any other format.
If you can't be assed to pay for something, download audacity and use that instead.
Myspace probably changed their music system for the sole reason of preventing this from happening. Downloading those audio files is defiantly a breach of the TOS, if not illegal.

Using FL Studio as a professional studio DAW is like making a wedding cake from those boxes of pre-mixed cookie dough.

Sure is, add a phaser effect and some reverb in audacity and upload that shit to youtube to show your school friends.
It's physically possible to subtract one sound from another, however the situation you would need to be in to be able to do this relies on you already having the separate sound samples as they appear in the track
The best orchestral soundbanks and VSTs are extremely large (GBs of data) and incredibly expensive, and are also damned near impossible to use to any great effect without careful tweaking of your midi data in a DAW.
Sibelius is a score editor considered many to be far superior to finale which also has support for VST plugins, as well as native support for the Garritan Personal Orchestra VST, which produces decent-sounding stuff straight out of sibelius. That being said, you will still not have anywhere near the control over the VST parameters as you do in a DAW, meaning you won't get something that sounds truly realistic.
No photography makes us artists who cannot actually create art sad :-(
