Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        So he said to the young man, "Why do you want to make music. Is it for the money? The fame?"

        "No", said the young man, "I just want to make music the way I see it."

        "And how's that?", replied the wise man.

        "Just take a listen.."

          Hey I took a listen and you don't want to know what I think in all truthfulness. Who cares what I think anyways ...

          I did download the Unreleased Snippet however and I must say that if that's totally your beat (i.e. no samples ... unless it's a hi-hat or kik or sumthin') then hats off to you as that's a dope beat. Seriously ... I looped it on the intro and currently use it in my sqratch sessions. Maybe I'll get some vid of a session and post it up on Myspace. Good work ... me no likey the other beats so much except that one the DJ remixed ...

          "I close my eyes ... " Sweet intro on that one the beat is tight too.

          The house remix isn't really a house remix though it's really just sped up and stuttered. Gotta have that metronome kick for house with that open hi-hat ... or you could swing out both of those elements for a two-step house feel. Has a shuffle feeling ...

          As far as your vocals I would suggest trying, as an experiment, placing the mic about 2-3' away from you when you record your vocals. This way you'll be forced to really project your voice and it'll take on a way more "hard" and energetic timbre ... just try it and don't cheat (lean in) or scream ... just project well ... let me know if you do try ...

            ^ Exactly, who cares what you think. Unless you have some sort of feedback, you shouldn't have wrote your first line.

            The "Unreleased Snippet" is not one of my productions. Overall, the beat isn't even that impressive, probably why it's just a snippet and not a full-length track. Too boring. Just some old freestyle recorded a long time ago.

            "I close my eyes.." - I'm assuming you're talking about "When I Think Back". That's my favorite misc. track so far, and the DJ one is even better. That's the song that got played on the internet radio-station this monday morning.

            As far as the house mix goes, it's just something the same DJ (my friend, who's actually a rapper) put together. I don't care if it's 100% officially a house mix. It's just sped up and chopped. Yes, chopped. Not stuttered. Chopping is a form of music, now. It was made because the original "Ride Tonight" got such positive feedback, and people asked for a club version. Hence, the house mix.

            The way I record has nothing to do with the overall song. It's all put together in the mixing. Most of these songs are old, that's why some of them are "ehhh". I'm recording with a dynamic mic, so if you can find me someone who records the same way I do, and makes the same/better quality of music, I'll be surprised. You don't even wanna know how bad my setup is. Well, we're trying to improve it as I speak, now that I have an artist to produce for, and also since my album is coming along.
