The MLPF Smile Song Project

[10InTheTardis 509]

Alright, I did it, I freaking did it, it's 2:47 AM, I'm i my backyard, hiding under my trampoline really hoping my parents aren't up ad their widow isn't open. I think I heard something atleast the size of a raccon moving in the distance, and every regular noise sounds like breathing right behind me, but I am DETERMINED to participate.

 

 

Wish me luck, and may Jeric bless me with his holly glow. 

[Adamgreen 1,130]

How can I send a recording of me singing?

[Troblems 5,624]

@@Adamgreen, A lot of people are uploading their singing to https://soundcloud.com then sending Jeric the link to it.

There, the lovley sounds of a 13 year old boy, singing a song about happy pink ponies, while hiding under a trampoline with a laptop.

 

 

 

Also, if you think my voice is way too low, I agree. 

[Denim&Venöm 21,979]

Finally. Three takes and one lacerated larynx later and I have my contribution complete.

So, after finally getting around to recording this, let's see...

 

Warmed up properly? - Nope.

 

Was 100% sure of the tune and lyrics? - Nope.

 

Used proper microphone for best sound quality? - Nope.

 

Went all out for it anyway? - Heck yes!

 

Ehh, it passes my checklist. So here you go, always happy to contribute!

I think I'm gonna do it! Yes! I sing the smile song every day and I would love to do this! I'm gonna get on it!

Wait... so all I have to do is sing the whole smile song, (I would like to do the whole song) record it, and put the recording on this thread, with my OC?

[J.R. 3,183]

@@Jeric,

And here's IB because you want OCs.

[Jeric 46,892]

with my OC

 

Since we are several pages from where I mentioned this I'll reclarify. This is an audio project so it will not have OC's in it, however there is an upcoming project in which I will need everyone's favority/ primary OC/Ponyosa so I will DEFINATELY need them.

 

Also, I feel like the submissions doubled in just 2 days. Awesome work guys. /)

Well, Mr. Chris Jericho,

 

I now have the perfect nickname for Jeric. XD

 

 

Sorry for going offtopic.

*looks at your avatar* Well, I feel like I accomplished something just then with that name idea.

 

To keep on topic: I wonder what you'll do with our OCs.

Hello Every Pony! Cherry Bloom here! So... I see a LOT of you posting about not being able to sing and not doing this project because of that. Well, trust me every pony you'll regret not taking part. This is something truly special! A chance to be a part of something big in our wonderful community! I can't sing very well at all my little ponies, but I love this song, and I love it's meaning! It doesn't matter if you can sing like Pinkie, or if you're like myself and can barely carry a tune. You should join in and become part of a wonderful project. We are bronies after all, do we not teach love tolerance and friendship above all else? No one is here to judge you, me or any pony else! And so... I've decided to attach my song clip for every pony to hear. Not because I feel like bragging or showing off (because trust me I really can't sing), but because I want you to realize it doesn't matter, you shouldn't be embarrassed! Just have fun with it! And hey, SMILE! here is the link, I hope it works. https://soundcloud.com/samantha-white-83/record-0038

OH CRAP THERE'S ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT, I ALMOST MISSED IT! D: Hopefully I'll get it recorded in time ovo

Whoo! Almost a month in the making, and my submission is finished!

 

http://1drv.ms/1OqA609

 

You might be wondering why my submission is by OneDrive link. Or why it's so dang huge. Couple reasons for that, really. One, my submission far exceeds the 50 MB limit imposed for MLPF uploads; two, every file in the submission is a 32-bit uncompressed WAV, and they are huge files; three, I gave you five of 'em!

 

Here's a breakdown:

• "M1" contains the melody as Pinkie sings it in the source material, excluding the "speaking" bits.
• "H2" contains the main harmony as is also heard in the source material.
• "H3" and "H4" contain extra harmonies I wrote for the refrains and the chorus at the end.
• "composite" contains all the voice parts mastered in one file. You can listen to this one to assess how the harmonies mesh and whether you want to use all, some, or none of them.

So! A few things I learned while making this thing:

• I cannot, for the life of me, pronounce "smile." ('Cause I like to make you small, small, small!)
• Living in the city is not conducive to reliable recordings. Passing trucks + noisy neighbors + police sirens every five minutes = multiple takes of every part.  :okiedokielokie:
• "p" sounds straight into a microphone sound like little explosions and ruin recordings. But in a pinch, pop filters can be constructed out of bangles, pantyhose, and superglue!

Enjoy! Or not. Whatever you want . . .

Next time my parents all go out, I'll see what I can do!

[~Chaotic Eddie~ 479]

I sent my tracks over e-mail - if you want i can send them on here too.

[StormdustPony 471]

Done. Now I just need to figure out how to upload it with my iPad and android song

OK. Time to try linking my SoundCloud song...Listen to Smile song project MLP Fourms take 4 by Code Hell #np on #SoundCloud
