    Where can I find Music and Video creation software?

    in Vinyl's Creative Resources

    there's a lot of different video editing and audio production programs available. whatever you find the most suitable depends though.

     

    myself, i've used FL Studio for music-related stuff basically all the time, and, even though the interface is a bit clunky, it's probably the most user-friendly thing for making songs in, IMO. also, if you've learned music the "classical" way, FL Studio might not be what you want to use, as there are other programs with a more "analogue" interface, with note sheets and all that jazz.

     

    for video editing, i've used Adobe Premiere Pro, but it costs a lot and is very powerful and very clunky to use. i've heard that Sony Vegas is a bit easier to use, although it also costs money, to get the registered version, that is. i'd recommend Vegas, because it's not that resource-heavy and confusing to use.

     

    that's all that i can think of, anyway.

    Thnx although i have no form of electronic payment so getting the video software would be a problem

    Ask Rainbow Dash!

    in Ask a Pony

    What do you think of an earth pony that can manipulate advanced tech/arcano tech on a nanoscopic level and higher and has unlocked (through Biotech research) limited TK and Enhanced Empathy?


    Rainbow Dash, Cimicerry or CherryChanga?

    CherryChanga all the way for sure. B)

    Why do the mane 6 need to be "balanced?"

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    I don't think it is so much that there were only be 1 unicorn and 1 alicorn instead of 2 unicorns that has people upset except for some people that may have a slight case of OCD but that people feel like Twilight is or is at risk of becoming overpowered therefore placing her dangerously closer to Mary Sue or Mare E Sue territory as I often half jokingly half seriously put it. I am a bit concerned about this myself but have calmed down considerably after throwing a bit of a shit fit after the season finale, sure I still voice my concerns but I still have hopes that this will work and it probably will if Hasbro lets the writers do their jobs.

     

    Twilight being a bit more powerful than her friends does make sense is this is often the case with the main character, but this transformation seems a bit premature and the rushed season finale did not help. So I am not so much concearned about "balance" as I am about how a concept which was introduced way too soon with not nearly enough build can work.

     

    She was wearing a cloak of some sort as Clover the Clever, so the wings wouldn't have been visible anyway. 

     

    As far as the issue of balance, there was a certain level of implied equality in the friendships, like they were all at the same point in life.  Yes, Twilight was powerful, but she was still just a unicorn, like Rarity was just a unicorn, or Rainbow dash was just a pegasus, etc.  I like the fact that they were all kind of at the same point in their life, working on reaching their dreams but not quite there yet.  Now that Twilight's "made it", it changes the dynamic in a way that I'm not sure I like. 

    you may want take a gander at wonderbolts academy (Season 3 Episode 7) Rainbow Dash achieves her dream first does that cause an unbalance? or look on the bright side it adds a whole new dynamic to explore.

    twilight is my favorite pony and always has been. I identify with her because I too am a bookworm and a bit  socially reclusive. ever since I moved from my home town in the middle of 2nd grade I have found it hard to make friends and fit in, so I kind of figured it wasn't important to make friends. so I will stick with Twi through thick and thin. besides Wings Are Attractive.

    Pony Royale

    in Written Fan Works

    Ever heard of Battle Royale? Well it's like the Hunger Games but older, and better. A couple nights ago I googled up a ponified version of Battle Royale. There were several versions, and it occurred to me that I should have a go a making my own version of such a story. This is my first fan fiction piece so I'm open to criticism.

     

    I also added a quote at the beginning from Machiavelli's The Prince which I think helps set the mood.

     

    So here it is: The first chapter of Pony Royale...

     

     

    Stallions:

    Big Macintosh

    Carrot Cake

    Filthy Rich

    Flim

    Snips

    Flam

    Snails

    Caramel

     

     

    Mares:

    Fluttershy

    Rarity

    Twilight Sparkle

    Rainbow Dash

    Applejack

    Pinkie Pie

    Cheerilee

    Trixie

     

     

     

    “It is best to be both feared and loved; however, if one cannot be both it is better to be feared than loved.”

                    -Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

     

    Chapter 0

     

                    There was a series of gasps as the train rushed out of the tunnel, and into a large expansive valley. On the left-hand side of the train, one could see green rolling hills of green stretching out into infinity. On the right-hand side the ground quickly sloped upward into a massive, white, mountain range that towered over the valley floor. It was these sights that were the cause of the ponies’ exclamation. Such grand vistas were rarely seen from such a short distance away.

                    “Whatcha lookin’ at Twilight?” said Pinkie Pie (mare #6), snapping Twilight Sparkle (mare #3) out of the trance induced by the looming mountains overhead.

                    “Oh, the mountains I guess. I’ve never seen them up close before,” said Twilight.

                    “Booooring,” Said Pinkie, “Anyways, where do you suppose we are?”

                    “Somewhere in between Ponyville and Canterlot,” Said Twilight.

                    They were on their way to the grand galloping gala, an event held in Canterlot once a year. Usually, only VIPs and bigwigs could get in, but Twilight happened to be a personal friend of Princess Celestia.

                    Just then, Caramel (stallion #6) trotted over to Twilight and Pinkie’s seat. “What time do you think we’ll get there?” he asked, smiling shyly.

                    “I haven’t the slightest idea. This is a different route from what Princess Celestia normally has us take,” said Twilight, realizing all too late that Caramel just wanted an excuse to talk to Pinkie Pie, and had little interest in the estimated arrival time.

                    As Caramel engaged Pinkie Pie in a stuttered conversation, Twilight slipped back a daze, this time losing herself in the affairs of the ponies within the train. Up at the very front, Fluttershy (mare #1) sat on the right-hand window seat, next to Rainbow Dash (mare #4), who seemed to be engaged in a heated argument with Applejack (mare #5) across the aisle, most likely sports related. Fluttershy had little interest in the argument. Nature being her passion, she seemed content with gazing up at the snowy mountains.

                    A couple rows back, Flim (stallion #4) and Flam (stallion #6) were preforming one of their spectacular sales pitches to Snips (stallion #5) and Snails (stallion #7), who were mindlessly chanting “Cider! Cider! Cider!” even though they had already witnessed the exact same pitch many times before. Behind them, Trixie (mare #8) sat distraught and infuriated at the complete lack in constant praise coming from her ever-shrinking fan base. She was pretending to be completely oblivious to Snip and Snail’s lack of interest, and carried on with her magical illusions without an audience.

                    Behind Trixie, Big Macintosh (stallion #1) and Cheerilee (mare #7) were sitting side by side, without a care in the world. They had become recently known as the town’s newest couple, and one of the latest accomplishments of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Twilight then shifted her gaze to the seats behind her.

                    Carrot Cake (stallion #2) and Filthy Rich (stallion #3) were sitting directly behind Twilight. Filthy Rich was consolidating Carrot Cake. Cup Cake (Carrot Cake’s wife) couldn’t make it on this year’s trip to the gala, due to the recent arrival of Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake. Pound Cake was a pegasus, and Pumpkin Cake was a unicorn, which made them quite the handful, especially for two earth ponies. Despite the massive work load the newborn ponies brought with them, Cup Cake insisted that Carrot Cake go to the gala so he could tell her about it when he came back. As one may guess, Carrot Cake wasn’t the happiest about leaving his wife and children behind for several days.

                    “I’m sure their fine,” said Filthy Rich, “You’re going to worry yourself sick.”

                    “But what if something goes wrong?” cried Carrot Cake, “What if she needs me to fix the sink again?”

                    “You checked it before you left, didn’t you?” said Filthy Rich, “If you’re so worried she couldn’t handle the task, then why didn’t you just hire a sitter, and then you could both come? I would gladly pay for it if you couldn’t afford such a thing.”

                    “And put our babies in the custody of somepony we barely even know?” said Carrot Cake, “I know we let Pinkie Pie baby sit them that one time, but that was for not even one day, and Pinkie is a good friend of ours. But a complete stranger? Cup Cake would have none of it.”

                    “Then come now,” said Filthy Rich, “what’s done is done. Try to forget about it and have a good time at the gala.”

                    “I suppose you’re right,” said Carrot Cake, dropping the subject, though it was clear he wasn’t any less anxious about the events that were transpiring back home.

                    Rarity (mare #2) was also in great distress, taking up two whole seats with her swooning. Surrounding the seats she was actually using to sit on were her many bags, all opened up, with various articles of clothing and “necessities” that almost any other pony would have thought unnecessary. “This is horrible!” she moaned, “One simply doesn’t just forget her eyelash curler!”

                    Taking pity on Rarity’s situation, Twilight Sparkle turned around to address her problem. “If it makes you feel any better, we’ll probably be in Canterlot in just a few more hours now, though I can’t know for sure,” said Twilight, “I’m sure you can buy one when we get there.”

                    “But I need one now!” Rarity complained.

                    “I don’t know what to tell you then. I would suggest borrowing somepony else’s, but everypony else has their luggage in the luggage car,” sighed Twilight, easily agitated by Rarity’s discomfort. This train ride had better end soon, thought Twilight, The gala will do us all good. I just hope it’s better than last year.

                    Turning her gaze away from the two worriers in the back of the train, Twilight once again started looking out the window. They were nearing the other side of the valley, were they would enter another tunnel, to be once again shrouded in darkness for whoever knows how long.

     

    They were in the tunnel. The train was almost completely dark; except for the small light coming from the conductor’s booth, at the very front of the train. Everypony was quiet. As Twilight shifted her gaze around the train, she saw that ponies that were moments before socializing were completely asleep. They’d been travelling for a long time, but not long enough for anypony to be going to sleep, let alone the entire passenger population of the train. Her eyes shifted back up to the conductor’s booth.  The conductor seemed to be wearing some sort of mask.

    Was it, gas that was making us so sleepy? She thought. She was having trouble thinking. Her eyelids became very heavy. She looked over at Pinkie Pie. She was completely zonked out. Twilight had never seen Pinkie so peaceful. Looking past Pinkie, on the other side of the aisle, she saw Caramel, still conscious.

                    He was trying to get the window open, but to no avail. It was clear that he was becoming weaker by the second.  I've got to help him, Twilight thought, but she could barely move. “Damn,” She heard Caramel mutter, as he finally gave in and drifted to sleep. Twilight struggled to keep her eyes open, but the temptation to let sleep take her was just too powerful. Her eyes drifted shut and remained closed. The last thing she heard before slipped into oblivion was a phone call the conductor was making. “Yes, we’ve got them all out cold. We should be arriving at the rendezvous point on time, so you can inform the Princess we’ll be starting soon.”

     

    16 Ponies Remaining.

    Seems like a pretty solid idea for a fic. You could have the first few chapters with Twilight going through the mental problems Sombra is putting her through. Then maybe after a few days she starts getting physical developments of corruption as well. Intitally Twilight would not want to tell her friends and to keep Spike out of danger she'd want to force him out to live with somepony elses house with that you could have sub-plot with The Twi/Spike relationship our something but whatever floats your boat. Eventially Twilight gives into the corruption and she goes berserk destroying everything in sight. Celestia and Luna come in attempt to free Twilight from corruption without doing something too drastic but they get defeated because of that fact. Later the rest of the mane 6 come and try to do the same...... Im just going ideas without really thinking about them so dint mind the quality.

    amnesia the dark decent anyone?

    I mean you could include an abandoned mental asylum or dark castle lost in a chain of volcanic islands shrouded in dark grey/red mist, or cloud. With alarming shadow shape figures hidden in the depths. In which she takes up residence for the duration of the crisis.

    I liked this episode, don't get me wrong. I just think that this season is lacking some Pinkie Pie. But with another Applejack episode on the way, I can't really complain.

    yes I agree Pinkie is a much needed stress reliever for those times when you just need to smile :lol:
