I'd put out a multiplayer remix ep... Multiplayer is actually a remix of another song that I did believe it or not! I could put both of those on there and a couple from you guys if you wanted to

Re: I hate to make this post, but what am I doing wrong? (28 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
Yes I did, thanks for asking! But I'm already happy with my work and any feedback, although pleasant and welcomed, is non-essential to my continued interest and production of said work.
It sounds like the OP has some talent, but people really need to toughen up and learn to suffer indifference or negativity with a little more patience and grace. This isn't the gold star brigade, and if you guys want cm.o to become some kind of big brother/big sister after school program, its going to be a hard road for everyone.
Well said, herr. It's true.
But know that I wasn't baiting for feedback... that would be really bad. I just really didn't understand the rating system, I had no idea that's how it worked. I legitimately thought it was like an upvote downvote thing, and even if that was the case I shouldn't get all uppity about it.
Is there a way to delete threads? This is all really embarrassing.

Re: How to add a drop? (92 replies, posted in Tutorials, Mods & How-To's)
That's a broad question. I don't use LSDJ myself, but I do know that in any music making process there isn't really just one way to add a drop. It's really just a change in mood...
Imagine this text right here is a song, chugging along and just kind of being pleasant. But then... it starts... kind of... sounding lost... and... it gets all... nervous... but then............ CAPSLOCK HERE'S THE DROP BOOM BOOM BOOM
you just have to make sure that at a certain point the song creeps to a halt and comes back really heavy and loud. I have no idea how to go about that with LSDJ but I would suggest using lighter textures for you build and saving your heavier tones for the drop.

The first song I ever posted here was really well received, and not much has changed in terms of my sound but, every time I post something it gets down-voted from 5 stars to 4, to 3 and then eventually 2 or 1. I usually delete them at that point, because I'm unfortunately pretty sensitive. I don't mind if people dislike my music, but if you don't like it, why not post a comment as to why you gave it a 2?
Sorry to make this post, it's just been bugging me all day, I really thought I had something with this new song.

I talked about this on Seeking's Seaglass
I heard / I was listening! That was a real treat, thank you a bunch dude! I actually go to the same school as Eric. He sort of discovered me
Can we talk more about how awesome this is? I mean seriously.
Also I would love to hear about what kinda gear / programs you used, sounds like a lot of different stuff going on, I'm a geek about this stuff anyway.
Thank you man, I'm glad you're liking the album. As far as programs and gear go, I made this album on four different computers using famitracker, ableton, logic pro and pro tools. I got most if not all of my samples from youtube, there's live keys on the track "I did it because I wanted you to love me" but other than that I mostly just use a mouse so program the songs.
There's actually an interview that goes a little more in depth that my friend conducted.

You Can't Have Both
this is beautiful. i love it. it got a minute in and i was thinking i want to remix it, then it was over and i realised there is no point because its perfect.
lovely song
That's one of my favorite songs from the album, actually. I'm really glad it popped out at you, and I would be honored if you did a remix of it, seriously.
