Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Methinks this is best directed to either the "Underdog List" and/or the "Audio Advertisement" thread(s).

Erm... I'm not sure what you're talking about. The only "mood affecting" tonalities and such I know of are Binaural Beats. But I don't think thats what your asking...

It seems as though you are proposing the "dance" factor in a song? It's all skill, and knowing your audience. The key plays a large role in internalizing a song; if you take a gander over at the top songs of our generation, most (if not all) contain the same progression, and usually key. There are some keys the average listener/amateur singer have more luck with when it comes to enjoying and singing along.

Perhaps some clarification would resolve this issue?

Oddly enough, I managed to stave off "0 bombers" for the duration of my life here on Newgrounds (almost 6 years) - but, I just submitted something, went to edit it, came back, and it was down to a 1.74 - isn't that incredible? Has this problem been worse lately?

Also, Chrony - I agree whole heartedly, what's the point of having fans if you can't reach them?

Heres the thing;

Vocals, either recognized by the masses or not, are instruments - and teaching an instrument is much like teaching a trade; it's a good investment (for most).

Unfortunately, I really only see YouTube being a "free" option, but even then I'd worry. The thing about singing is you really need someone around to critique your phrasing, breaths, and pitch; doing that stuff alone is just a bad idea, especially if it's something you want to pursue further, or be good at in general.

My suggestion is to hire a teacher - it may be costly, but if you find an amateur (perhaps at a University/College, or through a basic Google search) you'd save a bit of money.

Phew. Here we go.

From what I've heard thus far, this is going to be a rather fun an interesting competition.

Great job all 'round!

Seppuku

I read a lot about the Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment which was mostly used by the Samurai, and I felt like expressing the emotions that I get while imagining it in my mind. Enjoy!

Left you a review - quite will done sir.

Hello boys and girls;

Desperately trying to figure out Reason and capture an 8-bit sound for this months NAC, and I could REALLY use some advice/critique.

Best have yo' pimp hand ready, too. Women respond positively to aggression; especially physical violence and commands.

"Bitch, Kitchen" is a good opener.

You mean to tell me this lady is ugly?

Yeah, fucking disgusting even. Earthworm lips = not attractive.

Couldn't agree more, Comrade.

Most Beautiful Woman? Nicolae Ceau%u015Fescu, hands down.

Google her, you'll know why.

That would make more sense, whom else would have the wrath to drown the world when things went poorly?

Just did a dramatic reading of this to humour your "God".

Ew.

Through reading, it seems many are unsure or simply ignorant on what irony is.

Help is on the way boys and girls.

Wow, teachers day? I remember those (sounds like I'm recollecting from decades past) though, I don't ever remember actually telling my parents about them.

Nest time, say you're an orphan - sympathy tears and better grades will roll your way. :3

Mr.Philly D brought me to the RPG - and I'm glad he did. It's absolutely boss.

Sent ya' a PM - But figured I might as well post it here as well...

Shameless self promotion?

Hoping to get some input here... I've got a few ideas collecting in my noodle, but I want to be sure I've got the foundation right.

The Winters Wind (Demo)

Thanks in advance!

Well, I have recently created this great piece with that program, but Newgrounds apparently only accepts .mp3 files which means that I cannot upload it directly. Is there a way to convert it to .mp3 so that I can submit it?

At the top of the screen in Garageband, there is an option to 'share'. Select 'send song to iTunes' and it will equalize and buffer the track for you. From there, iTunes will launch the shared MP3 - click and drag it to your desktop, and upload the MP3 to Newgrounds.

That's what I do. Lemme' know if you need anything else.

Shot ya' a PM with no response, so here's the upload demo -

Eerie demo 1-3

Honestly - I'm not sure if this falls under inspiration, or an abyss of respect and admiration.

Simon-F has an abundance of knowledge and talent, not only an excellent composer but an established and respected composer at Juliard - not an easy feat. Love to link, but he doesn't exist anymore. :'(

WinterWind-NS is a brilliant, brilliant composer - whenever I'm struggling to remember why I like music, I have my way over to his page, sit back, and let the inspiration soak in.

Musical_Rocky is an underrated genius - so many large pieces that are beyond comprehension in complexity and originality. I heavily suggest if you haven't already, go see him... NOW!

And lastly, as fanboy-ish as possible, MaestroRage. The dudes a pimp. Can't argue with that.

Also, you assholes better appreciate the free ads I'm dropping for you. You know who you are.

Many, many congrats on the job LaForge -

I used to be one'a those weirdo door-to-door sales people for years, it felt. I sold the Toronto Star subscriptions to grumpy old people who always had something... pleasant, to say. Good luck man, all the best.

Music, in it's entirety, is the only thing keeping me sane. However, it is the same thing that causes sleepless nights and loss of hair / testicles.

Music is like a bitch lover, that puts out every once in a while - but never when you want her too.

Whoever was playing the demo there looked like they were having a good time.

Does anyone else find it sad that this was breaking news? Who the hell cares!
I really, really wish some News show would find out about all the great things Newgrounds offers, instead of smearing the name with shit.

You just need to post enough, and show expression, or some form of character. Like put a bit of yourself out on the internet. People will grab onto that, and begin to... in an odd way... know you. Its weird, but cool.

Well put, perhaps that's what I should've said. Still, I can't help but point out the rarity of actually saying the right thing at the right time... I know that's what makes me so reluctant to post. Still, good point, note taken.

In all honesty, every-time I post, I'm reluctant as hell. I've been given shit from people too many times to even bother to put my input in anymore; either someone thinks what I said was off topic, irrelevant, or just plain uneducated - and I never hear the end of it.
However, you may also me confusing spam with actual intellectual conversation. I think it's fair to say here in the AF the topics are pretty clean (besides the occasional butt saix joke, Chron ;D). Plus, if you don't have like a million posts, you generally get overlooked - especially if you're not one of the big wigs of the Audio world.

just don't read those messages, delete them and get over it man.

need a hug...?

Ah man... that's kind of rough to say - seriously, I'm sure that shit hurts.

Granted, that's really immature to say, especially dragging shit up from over a year ago. If we all let it go, they should all let it go. And you're right, assholes like that make NG sound like a safe-haven for retards. It's too bad really, intellect is so scarce on the forums.

And I think a group hug is the best thing to do.

Definitely have to vote for MaestroRage: Not only is his music pure awethumb, but he's always more than happy to support/help/have sex with other NG artists. Therein, best artist.
