How shall we display your creations? And other things
12 years ago
Looking for a place to chat? Join us at #composers on FurNet!
Good evening/afternoon/morning everyone !
First, I'd like to apologizes for the interruption of the spotlight. It appeared very quickly that I am way too uncomfortable with recording my voice in front of you guys (and ladies). My accent, my prononciation, everything was nothing but shame for me ; also the stress made me loose all intelligibility. I delayed the last spotlight for days, which eventually became weeks, then months...
HOWEVER, I really want to do something for the community I love ; Not only furries, but furry composers !
So I wondered.... HOW should I display your creations?
Since the beggining of that group, people have put their work on the shoutbox. Which is nice, but since the watchers of this group are not notified, I doubt of the efficacity of such a procedure. I have thought about making the spotlight via written submissions, but honestly, it lacks some life (though I am pretty sure people just click on the links put in the description without actually listening the whole part where I embarass myself )
So what is your idea on the topic? How should I proceed to give your music the attention it deserve?
On a second note, I have be shown some excellent soundbanks and it made me think... A lot of composers here have talent and ideas, but lack a professional sound. Something that could help them improving their music, and devellop their creativity...
This year I've met quite a lot of important people. People who worked -for example- with Hans Zimmer or Ennio Morricone... People who taught me a couple of things in the processus of music creation ; And I'd like to share it with you.
Therefore I would like to create a regular (maybe once a month) FAQ where I would answer questions that shows up the most, with my poor yet growing knowledges. Each time I would detail my answer the best I can, in a journal or a submission.
If there is professionnal musicians, they are invited to join to provide an even larger panel of opinions and views on the topic.
Besides, for every question you'd ask me I couldn't answer, I will transfer the questions to the people I refered to earlier. I hope this project will help every one of you as well as helping me improving again and again.
I though about opening the propositions for 3 weeks via a journal, then submit the questions on a pool for a week ; after what I will answer the most frequently asked question.
It's very late, I might have let some grammar mistakes, some points might be not clear, and you could get confused somewhere. I have no self-critique look at what I wrote so if you have any question regarding this journal, I'd gladly answer them.
If you have suggestions, remarks... Same as above applies.
Thank you for still being a part of the group despite its relative inactivity. Once again, I'd like to apologize for this.
Yours

Orchestral/instrumental libraries allows you to achieve a realism that can - if the sounds are recorded with care - fool even a trained ear. This base plus all the mastering, gives you a sound comparable to some professional standards. That's what I meant ; I am not sure if I'm any clearer?
the thing I don't understadn is wath did you mean with this; you gave us the cance of have one or just a comment to make us ask you about the tips you have from this important people? (sorry; I don't understadn english at all and maybe this are clear for all except me)
I hope be for there when you start this topic (because I need find some good samples to some proyects)
Showcasing the music is tough on a website designed for more imaged based mediums, but i personally enjoyed the spotlight formula.
The Spotlights were great, and it was nice to have them in an audio format. However, if there is no one currently willing and/or able to do that and keep it up on a regular basis, then I think that a written version, with links to each song chosen, would be better than having none at all, which is more or less where we are currently.
