Made for a 48 hour film rush, the result of which you can see on mah Newgrounds page!
The sample is copyrighted, but the copyright owners have never once chased up any case of due royalties or made any move to prevent its use.
You have to remember, that while copyright is applied by default on a lot of things, artists are artists, and many of them don't mind their work being used to inspire others.
Nintendo, for example, have no issues with covers or remixes of their game tracks, as it serves as both a tribute to their companies prowess and publicity for their games, and suing bedroom musicians would be incredibly bad publicity.
MIDI artists tend to have extensive copyright claims on their work.
The safest thing to do would be to use the midi file to learn a melody, then reproduce it in your own piano roll or record it on a midi controller. Actually using the data from the MIDI file.
As a mod, I can only really tell you that technically if we caught you using a MIDI file like that then we would have to reject the submission, but from a practical sense I can only ask you to be honest and avoid doing it.
What's the link to the stickam room? I r stupid.
Well I'm there now, if anyone fancies a chat!
Ideally, you want to avoid the clipping in the first place by making sure the output volume of your track never allows it to clip, but using compressions and limiters on the complete mix of a track is pretty much commonplace in the realms of mastering in post-production. If you need to do it, be careful as such techniques can have unpleasant side effects in the form of artifacts. You risk getting a really good sound for most of your track, then undesirable effects where the limiter has to kick in.
If it's only peaking in a few select moments, try tweaking your individual channel levels first to see if you can smooth out the problem before you go heavy-handed on mastering the entire track.
Everything included in an NG Audio submission must be compatible with the Creative Commons license that NG songs are published by.
In practice, this means that any samples, sounds, or loops you use must be released under a Creative Commons license that allows you to adapt the work, or is completely loyalty-free.
Movies are almost never compatible with this license, and sampling them would be a breach of copyright, nullifying the license used when submitting the audio, and also breaking copyright law.
Also, keep in mind that some 'free' sample banks and websites are also not compatible with the license, whereas others require 'attribution' (basically, credit for the source of the sound) to be compatible.
If in doubt, don't submit.

Hey guys! I have sort of been here in spirit, producing tracks and helping out with music videos for my good friends Sanity Valve </plug>
Guess I better start submitting stuff again, it's been long enough!
It's literally been so long I've forgotten how to post.
Only place to get the track is iTunes :D
So we made a Hip-Hop Dub Step Drum and Bass fusion Christmas song.
And we've actually released it on iTunes! Why? Because we want to get CHRISTMAS NUMBER TWELVE in the UK! Go buy it now, and if that hasn't convinced you, here's an ad:
iTunes!
and here's a
POST NINETEEN THOUSAND AND ONElink to the music video. Remember to watch it in FLY DEFINITION!
Convert to mono, add low-level white noise, put it through a low pass, bump up the high frequencies, add a tiny bit of resonance to simuate a low-quality speaker.
You need to find out exactly what license that audio on that site is being released as.
I had a poke around, and, to be honest, it seemed somewhat of an unperfessional fan thing and I couldn't find a page of legalese, so I suggest you contact the author directly.
In order to use the material from that site on NG, the audio needs to satisfy one of the following conditions:
- The audio is public domain and license free. This means the author has released all copyright of the track to the public.
- The audio uses a Creative Commons license that is exactly compatible with the Newgrounds AP license. The AP license is outlined here.
- The author gives you special permission to release the track under a Newgrounds license.
Technically, yes.
The free sound project releases tracks on a creative commons license similar (but not identical to) the newgrounds audio portal license, meaning you can use the audio how you want.
The difference is that the FSP license specifically states that you HAVE to link back to the free sound project page where the file is held.
This means that if you're credits page on your game or movie doesn't have a list of clickable links that point to the free sound project, you are not using the audio in license - and thus you're potentially breaking copyright law.
Depending on how long it takes to approve your song, your tracks may not appear on the 'latest submissions' list at all. This is because newly submitted but not approved tracks are still technically on the list, just invisible.
The first line of this thread confused the fuck out of me until I saw the post date.

It's pretty much done entirely from peer recommendation.
Your keyboard is a MIDI controller. No audio data is sent down the USB or MIDI cables, so you will be unable to record actual sound out from the keyboard that way.
Either use the midi keyboard with a Digital Audio Workstation to sequence some music, or wire the headphone-out of your keyboard to the audio-in/mic-in of your soundcard.
Man I am so drunk right now.
Anyway, to submit songs to the audio portal, every element you use must be compatible with the Creative Commons license that Newsgrounds uses - and typically, loop-based music software has an EULA that states that anything you create with the software is technically copyright to the creator of the software - which is pretty rare with loop-based 'music' creators that are based on loops.
Generally speaking, loop-based compositions are severly fround apon in the audio portal. If you didn't have to use a piano roll to create your chords and melodies, then it's probably not compatible with the newgorunds license.
Popular DAW's which are compatible with the license include Fruityloops, Reason, Logic, Protools and so on. If you didn't make the music from scratch, dodn't submit it to the AP.
Well, if you're using a computer monitor, the only solution would really be to either buy an expensive HDCP-enabled audio splitter box, or hack your monitor with some audio outputs - but then you would be stuck using the monitors no-doubt low quality internal amplifier.
Playing keyboards (as in synths) properly and playing piano properly are two totally different skills. There are different things you can do on both.
Synth-action keys allow for faster action and velocity curves can be configured to maximise the expression.
Playing piano expressively is a totally different due to the weight of the keys.
When I'm actually doing gigs, I actually prefer synth-action, even if I'm playing piano parts. Due to the low weight of the keys themselves, it prevents fingure fatigue - which even after 15 years of playing piano is still a big issue after 20 minutes of continious playing.

Most HD TVs have a set of phono outputs specifically for the point of plugging the system into an amplifier, though whether or not they will work with the HDCP system and actually work with HDMI input depends on the manufacturer.
There's a bit of a backlog at the moment, I'll go take a look at it now.

It's very rare to delete an account for audio reasons. Only normally happens if there is a LOT of copyrighted work uploaded.
You could always do a live render and record your audio output while playing the file. That way, you get a recording of exactly what you hear in your DAW.

Nice principle? 64 bit is a must for any serious music production, and XP64 is shit, so you've either got windows 7 64 bit or OSX as the options.
Heck, East Wests virtual instruments have tend to have a minimum RAM requirement around 4-8GB, where windows XP has a limit of 3gb, including graphics card memory.

XP 64!!! WOOOO
Yeah, XP64 is all good if you don't mind the huge lack of drivers and terrible compatibility with x36 applications. If you're getting a 64 bit windows OS, it better be windows 7.
