Welp
Posted 14 years agoThat contest is hereby frozen.
I figured something like this might happen with only 3 people interested.
I am still looking for a vocal track, but now it's on the basis of "the first person who sends me a track gets the prize".
You may still just make me a track because you like the music or whatever and not for the prize.

Contest closed! And a small musical update. CONTESTANTS VIEW
Posted 14 years agoFirst of all, yes. The contest is closed for new contestants. That means that you may no longer submit to enter, not that the contest is discontinued. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. :P
Due to lack of interest, the timelines have been changed.
Timeline:
The entirety of this contest will last from now, until the start of July.
I will be accepting requests to join the contest until June 16th at 11 PM (PDT).
Everyone will be required to submit their lyrical line either to myself or over FA at June 21st 11 AM (PDT). DO NOT MIX THE LYRICS INTO THE SONG! JUST POST THE LYRICS!
Finals will begin at June 30th and end July 2nd. Finalists will be named and congratulated at the beginning of finals in a journal. There will only be three unless of special circumstance.
The final winner will be named, and congratulated July 3rd at 8-11 AM (PDT). I will then begin on mixing their line into my song.
Second of all, I am right now in the process of remastering my tracks so that they are ready for listening on speakers and the like; more clear and what have you.
That's about all. I won't be resubmitting, but the files uploaded will be changed to the new ones.
While I'm at it, anyone know any cool video game stuff I can remix? I have been kinda doing the exact same riffs and stuff that I have been doing since I started Baal's song and it's making me feel like my music is stale. :I

Someone about to find their way onto the street! Please look
Posted 14 years agohttp://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2425256/
Rajara is about to end up on the street. I made a journal a while back regarding his current internet status, now he is going to be homeless.
Please, have a heart and commission him. I am knee deep in debt or I'd do it myself.

Small contest update and BIG NEWS! Please look!
Posted 14 years agoFirst and foremost, I won the furry awards! I feel so honored! I posted my category and stuff on my front page, but please check them out! They are worth giving a look. ^^

Alright, now for the small contest update:
Contestants thus-far:
1.
EdwardSebastian

Quell_Ironheart
3.
sparkwolf (possibly only screams)
I thank you all, and I still look forward to more contestants who are interested!
Please refer to: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2392745/ for rules and such, it contains everything you need to know. However, here are the rules again for lazy people. :P
Rules:
1. You must either comment here or send me a message on FA saying something along the lines of "I'll do it". Please also mention how many lines you plan to be recording.
2. You must post a journal back to this one with a title something along the lines of "Check out this contest! Singers please look!"
3. You are not REQUIRED to growl, scream, death growl - whatever! However it needs to have one or more elements of a metal song in there, since it is a metal song.
(I.E. Rasping, growling, screaming, pig squealing <- not a fan of that one but whatever, et-cetera.)
Of course the more fitting your lyrical line(s) is(are) for it, the better your chance of winning!
4. You are allowed to just come up with a growling/screaming/etc line if you cannot sing, however this disqualifies you from the prizes. You will still be mentioned in the song description, however. Please mention if this is your intention in your message to me, as well.
That means you must have at least ONE vocal (singing) line to qualify for the prizes. However no talent level is disqualified!
5. The end product must span from the beginning of the song to the end. There is no guitar solo! (except maybe the end but if you want me to remove the guitar I can and will) You may have pauses, you may have a break where you think guitar is more necessary or what have you, but the end product MUST fill a good majority.

A new thingy idea WOW!
Posted 14 years agoOkay, so I was talking to
and me and him got to thinking (more me :>) that I need lyrics for the song I made for him, located here.
I should mention that when I say "lyrical" I mean vocal. Sorry for any confusion!
You may do this solely for fun, OR you may also do it for a prize! Either way, the winner will receive:
1. Recognition in the final song and my eternal thanks. (derp :3)
2. One icon or sketch from the man himself:
baaliam!
(Rules: Baal I Am reserves the right to refuse a particular idea, however anything is game. [that means pronz should he do it!])
3. A song from muah from any of the genres I may do. And if you like, you can sing in it, too! (The length of the song can be anywhere from one minute to 6 minutes or more, do not be expecting anything huge!)
Now, for the rest:
There are a few rules, and they outline everything you need to do in order to participate.
1. You must either comment here or send me a message on FA saying something along the lines of "I'll do it". Please also mention how many lines you plan to be recording.

Contact info/stuff I am willing to do journal
Posted 14 years agoI realized recently that I suck at doing this kind of thing - I MEAN I didn't have enough info available for everyone who decides they want my crap.
So...
Contact Information
Please either add me to skype (Dragon King) or e-mail me at Yaksmanofages@gmail.com.
You MAY NOT call me. As much as I wanna be a cool guy, there are already two forms of communication you can try, so do those.
For commissions and donations, pay to: Notmyname_1980[at]hotmail.com (This is paypal only.)
Stuff I do:
It's probably more appropriate to list off what I WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES...do.
So, I will never do: rap, hip-hop, indie rock. There are some that I don't like to do, but they don't count because I'll do them. I MAY also do these if they have elements of other types of music I like (I.E. metal, hard rock, etc) but don't get your hopes up.
That's about it. :>

Furry Awards opeeeeeeeen
Posted 14 years agoCheck 'um out!
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2309200/
All links and stuff you need to know is there, so no need for me to continue!

All's well, up, and running!
Posted 14 years agoOkey dokey! So I finally have EVERYTHING I'll need to FINALLY use Electri6ity the way I want to use it. Completely, and without stupid errors like "PANIC: cannot allocate enough memory! Application may become unstable." and then it crashes Fruity Loops Studio. :/
Since I'm very new to all of this, the next few songs your ears get to hear will be FAR better than before, however they will still not be professional, and only because I'm still new to all of this. I will be trying things and I will need continued input in order to continue improving the quality of my pieces.
So if you see a song, please tell me what you think! I will take any comments! From the "That was great! I liked *part* the best because of *reason*" to "That was horrible because of *reason* I would change *part* to *explanation* because it will *reason*"
The more detailed, the better! You will also receive thanks should the comment be helpful enough. ^w^

Back from FC.
Posted 14 years agoEhh, it was fine all things considered. I just need to start working on songs and get my forsaken computer fixed.
Now Electri6ity isn't working and I need to re-install it. Prolly going to be dragging my bum on that one too.
*Sigh* I'll get done with stuff...eventually.

Out 12-16.
Posted 14 years agoYes, as the title suggests, I'm going to be out roughly from the 12-16th. So in about 4 days I will be COMPLETELY inactive.
This is for Further Confusion. Obviously I won't have a booth or anything (lawl) so I'm just going to be hanging out.
I just got Electri6ity, so if anyone wants to hit me up for an easy song or something I'm down. It will give me a chance to get to know it.
Otherwise, I am TRYING to get my newest crapterpiece done before I leave, because all I have left to do now is vocals. Unfortunately I had to do a revamp of the line and that eat up a good chunk of my time so I won't be doing it today.
Anyway, this is me, signing off!

Status Update
Posted 14 years agoThis is just to let the few people on my watch list know where I am and what I've been doing.
-In short, I've been doing nothing.
A longer version:
I have been feeling really down lately. Things just keep seeming to go in bad directions, no matter what I do. I feel like a failure, and so obviously my music and music creating abilities have been taking some serious hits,
I will TRY to get SOMETHING done, but I am just feeling so down. Besides that, WoW has been easting up good chunks of my time (which is part of the problem) and so I've just been vegging out the last couple of days.
I REALLY wanna get something done, but I just feel so bad about my music. The only piece I really like right now is the one I have been submitting all the WIPs for, and that one is FAR from finished. Vocally, for the most part though.
-So, if I can come up with a song that blows my socks off again, I'll try my best to get on it and work it to completion before something like this happens again. In the meantime, I will just be refining or doodling on older submissions or newer submissions. If I get something done, cool; if not, I guess it will have to wait. :/

Working!
Posted 14 years agoView my latest submission for details and stuff~.
Ugg, more complications.
Posted 14 years agoWell, so far I have tubebaby and Guitar rig 3. Both work without flaw however the guitar rig only works for one track, so if I do get the right stuff I will have to record each guitar line separately. Which wouldn't be a problem, if:
The rest of the things I downloaded worked. Realstrat has no known working versions of itself via torrent, so that's out of the question. And EZDrummer isn't installing correctly. (At least, I can't see it in FLS.) (Strike that, there is a plenty good one with a little less power than I want but it's fine.)
So, I've come in need of assistance, if someone knows/knows-someone who has a solid setup for their FL studio (with or without the help of torrent, but please specify if they torrented or not) PLEASE send me a message via the note system or contact me some other way. I really need one.
Until I can find one, I am forced to continue recording with Guitar Pro, and I don't really feel like mastering via Audacity....
So, all future projects are, AGAIN, put on hold.
Sorry!

Alright, time to finally get on recording some songs.
Posted 14 years agoSo, I got my laptop back, and am looking into FLstudio plugins for real sounding guitar, bass, and drums. After which time I will be recording lyrics for my newest failure-piece: "Tired"
It will host an array of loud noises followed by some failsinging ended with hopefully some cred.
In other words: you will be seeing a song of mine, for the very first time, with the best stuff "free" can buy!
