    Memories

    You know, you should be proud as somepony, who writes music. It's not a given to have talent for this stuff, and it saddens me when I see this kind of lack in selfrespect... This was nice and calming. The rain and thunder in the background made it just so perfectly calm, I sat back, closed my eyes, and listened to this same track 3 times over. It was a simple piece of art, with a soul of it's own. Be proud about it, because you just made my day with your music Thank you!
  2. wow, and I thought hungarian dub was bad... I mean, I don't want to offend anypony, but is it only me, or the brazilian dub does sound like it uses 1 or 2 voice actors (who obviously don't sing too well) for the whole cast? and for the fansing: Yes! Yes! and probably it deserves a third Yes! in the row even if it wasn't really professional it sounded way better then the original dub GO FOR IT!
  3. I think I win the distance competition, with living in Hungary, but count me in! I play the bass, and can help with some songwriting if asked for.
  4. Sorry again, if I was too blunt... I hope I didn't upset you too much, with what I've written.
  5. I think that the raw, garage feeling you get from the song just makes it a lot better, than how it would have turned out, if you actually sat another 2 or 3 weeks on this golden egg But we won't know, unless you still think, you want to make the redone version
  6. Sorry, if this will be harsh, but as you asked for feedback, I will try and point out the mistakes. 1. Music I think I got a glimpse on what you wanted to achieve, but this was so off mark, you hit something on another continent... The never changing chimes you used were empty by themselves. The whole melody was too ripped apart to be enjoyable. There was nothing holding this together, so the 2 or 3 different instruments (if I herd them out right) just felt like they were thrown on eachother. I think you should really think this one through and start again. Maybe listen to some other songs for reference... 2. Singing No! If you want to sing, then sing! Don't act like your singing, or do it the halfhearted way. If you decided you would sing, then let your voice out! I'm not saying you should shout, just try to actually sing the song. This was not singing. If you don't have confidence in your skill, or voice, or self, or whatever, then go and do something about it! Go to music school, try to sing for friends, improve your singing skills at home by yourself, etc. This was like listening to the 5 years old nephew I never had doing karaoke for the first time, while he doesn't know the tune or the lyrics. If you have written the lyrics, then at least try to sing it from your heart, and not just mumble the words so not one of the listeners can understand them. Everypony can sing if they try! Some may not be as amusing or talented as others, but they can, IF THEY TRY! You should try sometimes, and maybe it will turn out differently I hope, that I didn't kill your artistic mood, because I believe in the fact, that eveypony, who tries themselves at music, can show something new to the world. I believe, that you can make something nice, if you try some more, but not this time. Have a cake and start over
  7. Just received the vektors for my CM! They look lovely, so I made a simple avatar out of it :)

  8. I like the rawness of the song! Nicely done! I'm looking forward to some more
  9. I think that Scootaloo is living with a family for sure considering the house she came out from. (I'm not saying it's her family...) She must have the room on the upper floor, considering the layout we've seen during the sceene inside the house. Also I think I've spotted something interesting: So, I think the house in the background is clearly the Quills & Sofa Shop that we've seen some times previously, beacuse that is the only house with a roof of dark green color. What do you think?
  10. Hi Everypony! Yesterday night I wrote some Luna themed Lyrics, and a bass tune for it, but as I'm not confident with my voice and singing I would like to make this into a collaboration with somepony brave enough to step forth! If more than one wild applicants appear out of (the so often mentioned) tall grass, then maybe there will be more different versions~ The Lyrics: So, that's it. I'm welcoming every and any kind of comments and critiques you have. As you can see the lyrics depict Luna, when she was trapped in/on the Moon. At some points it may seem like a crazy poem with no (or few) rhymes by some disturbed, sick pony, but let's just think how schizophrenik our beloved princess could have been when she was combined with her Nightmare Moon persona... I also attached a quickly made version of the tune I planned to use with this. But as it's just an idea yet, it's not a must use. luna.mp3
  11. My brother just came up with the idea that I should take his synth into my room, because it's always in his way. I think I might play an all-nighter :D

  12. I just tried checking the video on youtube, but it said it was private
  13. I'm sorry if this will be a bit harsh, but I think it's best to be honest with everypony, considering their work. It could have been a nice song... I'm sorry to say this, but this piece of music is bleeding for far too many wounds It started out with a nice, simple tune, that was (imho) packed with some unnecessary effects, but was still a good start. It was building up its energy at a steady pace, even if the intro part of the track was a bit too long, considering it's total length. At 0:35 came the anticipated change in rhythm that was delivered perfectly, but what came after that was not. The first, and biggest problem was that the new tune that came in at 0:42 was so dissonant with the original tune that it almost made me stop at that point. The whole concept that you built up has crumbled with it. Also, there were once again to many effects on it. The second problem was, that the listener would anticipate a (bit late) lift in the song by the time of reaching its 1/3, but you continued with the same slow beat you used in the intro. It's like, you tell a filly, you will be giving her some chocolate, and then walk away... The rest of the song carried on with the same pace, and it ended with a clean cut off, that maybe should have been done some other way. Considering this was your first try at making music, and as such, creating art, I won't say it was a complete waste of your 3 months. I won't tell you to quit, or give up on this, but rather, you should sit down and listen to your favorite artists and their songs of your chosen style, or the ones that resemble it the most, and take notes on how those tracks are built up. You should also study a bit about the software you were using, so you can manage to make the most of your art. As I have stated above, the basic tune of the song was nice, so you should take that and try to rework it. I see the possibilities in your music, so go for it Also, if you feel like you're stuck, I think there will be a lot of ponies around at the forum (including myself), who would most gladly offer you help and assistance with any questions you have. I'm looking forward to your next work
  14. It sounds nice Why don't you make it with real instrument samples? I think it would be great, considering it's really cool even in MIDI.
  15. Thank you! I'm sure you can make even better ones I used FLStudio 11 for everything. It's a pretty neat software and I can't even use half of what it's capable of.
  16. My song was put up on Equestria Daily!! I'm so happy :yay: "This day is going to be perfect..."

      I'm confused. Why would you be singing a sad song if you're happy? :I

      I'm not singing the whole song... Only the lines of the Queen (One and only duchess of darlness <3 ) and mostly the beginning :)

  17. This just got on EQD! link: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/music-of-day-229.html
  18. The main melody was nice but it got chaotic pretty fast. For a first attempt it could have gone a lot worse I think you shouldn't give up trying, because this could turn into something good if enough time and work is included, but in the end it's your call
  19. Purely amazing! I could listen to this all day and night!
  20. Sounds nice I didn't get the failure feeling at all, more like some romance, but maybe it's just me being wierd The water drops are indeed a little to loud, and I think, the piano is too quiet at the end, but it's coming together nicely. It does remind me of your style
  21. I have some some very basic gear, but I haven't used any of it for actual recording (at least not for anything MLP releated, and not at home...) I have a bass guitar (Cort Action V), 2 combos for it (Ashdown Perfect Ten (10W) and Asdown Five Fifteen (100W)), 1 mic (that I don't know if I will attempt to use again...) (AKG Acoustics D88 S/XLR) and an acoustic guitar (Stagg C546) Also, I just ordered a PS3 Rocksmith Bundle, with the Epiphone LesPaul Jr. (mostly for playing on bass, but figured I could use the guitar), so I'm curious how that will sound... And my brother has a synthesizer (maybe CASIO something... i don't really know that much about his stuff ^^") that I sometimes use for getting inspiration, because I can't really play the piano (or synth in this case) that well... still, I write everything in FLStudio
  22. This is one lovely song For feedback: I think you could increase the reverb a bit on the vocals, also at the part from 1:10 to 1:23 the background vocal part is so quiet I couldn't really make out what she is singing. Everything else sounds kind of perfect for me
  23. This is my first fan releated music made for MLP:FiM. When I woke up today, I decided, I would work on a song that has been postponed for a while now. So first, I started putting the drums together. After an hour or two a tune just hit me and I instantly thought it would go well with the lyrics I wrote yesterday, so I switched over to that project instead. After a few beats were done the tune just went berserk, so I threw everything that came to mind at it, and I ended up with a totaly different third track, that was based around that one simple, tiny tune, that hijacked my day I found a really good art, that would go well with it, and asked for premission to use it for a youtube upload, but I'm still waiting for the answer. I will try and update, when/if it's up over there, but I don't know if it will work, since I can't even attach a simple link, because the forum just won't allow me... So, enjoy~ Edit: Yay, it works! The picture I used was made by InTheStardust Here deviantart accout is over here: http://inthestardust.deviantart.com/ Go and see her other stuff too Orange Riff - First Flight.mp3
