The requirements are not required to be performed live. The process is to see which artist the people most want to see produce an album. Also Jazza's a great composer and all but frankly all the song's i've heard from him are leaning towards the sweet gentle direction. True those songs do rock, but they by no means indicate you have no shot otherwise.

What do you have to lose by trying out :D?!

I was just saying, Say you make an Album, Then get concerts going. Jazza's got me there though, Because those are my favorite pieces. It's what I stive for as well.

I found out a bit later that My dial up is NOT gonna load three of my best songs up in near enough time for my computer to last through. So if anyone Wants to make an account and uload my songs I'd love you all to death.

First off: Who's Jazza?

And second, a new challenger has appeared :O I decided to get off my lazy ass and make an account.

oh em gee! You don't know Jazza?! He's the author of several popular flash movies (The Composer, Paladin) and games (Paladin RPG). He's also quite the musician, and recently did recordings with Lisa Gerald (hope I spelled her last name right), who worked with Hans Zimmer in the movie Gladiator!

Anyways, enough about that, he's in, and we're glad to have you on board Blackenon!

yay!I made an account!

I only hope Trogdar doesn't mind. I used our collab as one of the three songs.

lol. yeah. I'm changing my artist name out in the real world. I feel like Quarl is too tough. In fact, there was this one guy on newgrounds who thought it was pronounced carl.

Ruqal is much easier :3

well now that you have joined i guess that means there is no point in the other 99.999% of NG-ers to even bother trying :P

who knows what taste and flavors they're looking for, you lose nothing by trying ;D! Also apparently the room will open on the 8th. A delay methinks.

so your just gonna show him the guy who won the previous arena? Because I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other talented artists that signed up.

I was just making a point of what you're up against competition wise. The fact that there is so so much other incredible stuff there attests even further of that point.

indeed :)

Nice find, man. Good lookin out for your fellow Newgrounds Artists. Hell, .06 to start reviewing a song I hear here and there is a lot more than I'm making just sitting here.

Plus, it gets my name out there even further. So, thanks for sharing man, see ya there.

Egh, now I don't consider myself the worlds greatest musician, but, a lot of the stuff on this Slicethepie.com is complete rubbish. I mean, wow. Some of them make 60 seconds feel like a court sentence.

However, there are some really good songs on there.

first thing you should know is that STP operates in it's reviews rather strangely. You get Scout levels by voting how you think everybody else votes on a song, and because all the high level scouts seem to have a voting average of 5.5, they'll do nearly ANYTHING to justify voting it 6 or 5.

In one of my songs, 2 of the 3 reviews were of morons who actually MADE UP instruments, and then call them fake sounding...

yeah, so I guess we can't really rely on getting good feedback from here either. I had no idea the system was so corrupt.

You can read my little rant here!. I've written many many emails to the developers about how this system is pure bullshit. I mean, they are promoting corruption.

Lads, never again shall you claim that the NG Audio portal is corrupted, for in comparison, STP is freaking organized crime.

Check out this review for my song Genesis:

Great introduction to this song, the piano really adds variety to the track. At about 1:15 there is another piano tone that comes about and makes this song pop. Then I also like the low bass sound in the background.

There is no piano in the piece.

On another note, nobody likes The Yummy Muffin :(

OMG, they said I had a piano in my song too! What, are they just ALL retarded for pianos? Maybe we should make a piano solo piece next time, have them comment on our violins.

LOL. Yeah - you know what's funny is I get these really positve sounding reviews but they always carry a score of like 4 or 6!! I'm like what the hell? If I'm doing a really sh**y job then tell me why!

Dude. I loved The Yummy Muffin. I love like all your songs. : )

Check your paypal. I made a small donation to your composing "fund". I would have probably bought a lot of those songs anyway if they were available on itunes so just as well.

Here's a review I got which I think is interesting:

This track has a great electronic sound. The artist presents a strong performance others fail to do making this style of music.

Wow. Pretty comprehensive right? The interesting part? The score he gave me was a 4 out of 10. Not exactly a scathing review for such a grade "F" score.

Yeah, I don't understand the low scores. Probably just jealous of our MAD SKILLZ.

slice the pie sucks. I think the pie slicing is for the shitty no life scouts and the indy kids with guitars. I don't think any of the people who dropped me a review knows what dnb is :P

On the plus side, I have yet to receive any comments about pianos.

You guys should come on down and say a few words. The thread has become awesome e-drama material!
