I don't really like it though, mostly because people find it really hard to spell. They always end up saying "KorRigen" or "Koriiiiiiigaanh" or some shit.

Hey Hey.

you think ppl find YOUR name hard to spell..

i always read your name as chromomut:)

people always read mine as spamwrangler (rolls eyes)

i like to wangle spam.

who here records basslines with an electric bass?

do you DI out though your amp?

do you mic your amp?

do you plug straight into your soundcard?

or maybe you use a preamp?

ive always struggled to get a decent bass sound no matter how i record, just cant seem to get it right. any tips?

nice little tune. have you got any midi drums or instruments?

call that offset? check out this bad boy!

check this out (please)

about zero bombers?

1) im not trolling, im serious

2)who cares what your score is? its just a arbitrary number, surely?

3)i know im gonna get a lot of abuse and zero bombs for this

4)why not just be happy you have a medium to share your creativity with others, and accept ng for what it is? the downside to a system where ANYBODY can contribute to it is zero bombers, but the upside is all the cool music and helpful advice. pretty good trade off surley?

5) am i missing something, iike can enough zero votes end in a song being deleted from the portal or something? people seem devistated about getting low points. life's not a game with a points system deciding whos good and who's not, just enjoy what you got. why does the score matter?

rant over. discuss

One of the easiest way to prove you wrote a song is to snailmail a copy (ie on CD) via recorded delivery which will show the time and date sent.

surley they delivery woudnt be proof of whats on a cd?

if i send a blank cd to myself, claiming to be a friends song that he didnt bother to copyright, would i then have his copyrights?

that answer is even better than the truth:)

.....page? just wondering how that system works

I'm not going to name names just to avoid shaming the other person.
These are the actual words:

'Crap'
'You bad boy'

I still got 10/10 for it!

hehe gross:)

i do backing singing in some songs (music to enjoy cheese to, to catch a drunken monk)

but it takes me ages and loads of takes to get the notes (almost) right, so no not really a singer

99.9% of the guys and gals here write constructive and helpful reviews, IMO, but someone gave me a hilarious review today:-

*************
"oh no!"

date: 5 hours ago

its not a music, it a"BUM! BUM!"
*************

whats the most amusing piece of feedback you've received on ng?

your cat song rocks:)

this song has banjo, baritone guitar and a singing saw!

what are you waiting for?!??

any reviews would be appreciated and the favor returned.

check this guy out maybe-

You can try, but I can go ahead and let you know that it's doomed to fail due to one person(s) leaving, or simply not putting in enough effort - and trust me, that's exactly what will happen.

surley if one person leaves/cant be arsed, get somone else!?

count me in, im not the type to not do something just because i failed once before. what kind of attitude is that?

online bands are fun too!- and im in a band, and no one has ever tried to beat me up

can i be your bass or guitarist? check out my stuff and see what you think:)

just heard this on the portal:-

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1 46945

sounds to me like the theme tune from a british kids tv show called the tweenies, but is it a re-recorded cover, or has he just ripped the tune?

any tweenies fans out there to confirm this (we wont laugh, honest!)

not being diverse is criminal

i did a remix of this song by a friend and ex bandmate of mine, because it is awesome

this is my version there both definatley worth checking out i think

the lead in the microphone is called an XLR cable- nearly all proper mikes use these,
you should be able to get an adapter to go from an XLR cable down to a jack input,
but the previous guy is probably right, to record you could probably do with an audio interface
i use an external usb soundcard to plu my mics into, they can be picked up for around 50-100 quid- good luck!

if you cant find a real drummer, i can try on reason drumkits- did you record this with a metronome? if so, what bpm is the track?

had a glockenspiel as a kid, still one of my favorite instruments, my dad plays guitar, i remember him getting his old electric and amp out when i was 5 and kicking the reverb chamber in it to make a big booooom thunder sound, and thinking, 'im having some of this!"- trying to learn guitar, failing, then at 15 listened to a few nirvana albums, started playing along with them and black Sabbath's greatest hits, and no escape from there really...

manilla gorilla

the disappointingly titled metal gear solid- dance version

and the final version of senor peebles's to catch a drunken monk

i use a Behringer XM8500- sounds just as good as the sure sm58, probably not as invincible, but a whole lot cheaper, for recording instruments and voices, its the daddy, and ridiculously cheap too. check one out

i once did a kneeslide/guitarsolo and fell 4 ft of a stage,
we used to have a song about having sex with a donkey,
and a song called 'sexually attracted to chainsaws'
and we covered aled jones'es 'walking in the air'

in a rock and roll fasion, obviously.

thats all i can think of, thats essentialy my life up until this point
