--Introduction Thread-- Newbies Please Use This Thread First

[Acsii]

Hey all once again, and welcome to all of the newcomers. Just wanted to say hello and yea hope you enjoy the forums. I hope to see your pretty faces around here ^^

[Kopachris]

How did I miss this thread? A place to introduce myself is usually the first thing I look for... Oh, well!

I'm Kopachris--a hotel front desk agent by day and amateur musician by night. I've studied quite a bit of classical music theory, but I'm still quite new to modern popular music, and I don't have much to show just yet. So far, my strengths seem to be in the area of atmospheric and ambient music.

[con7empt]

Heya there, name is Contempt. I'm a college student right now who has taken up making music and noise as a hobby. I'm more on the electro/dub side, but I also enjoy orchestrations as well. I've always enjoyed music but never stuck to an instrument, but then I started messing around last fall and now I produce in my off time.

[3Earl]

Hi there people, username's 3Earl but you can just call me Alan.

which isn't my real name but my actual name's lame so
I'm a brony trying to learn how to make music, and so far, I've had some successes and failures, so I decided I wanted some feedback, criticism, and just a place to hang out with other people that have the same ambition

I think I use garage band subconsciously, but I'm primarily a beginner in FL Studio

so nice to meet you all and junk! Hope we get along.

[soultensionbenjamin]

[Kushy Kallous]

Howdy all. I'm Minley.

I'm a (recent)brony who has been into music for a long while,
I am(tryingtobe) a brony rapper, and just starting out in the musical world. I have fiddled about in FLStudio for a couple of years now, and have not taken music seriously, or improved much, until recently.

Now I am looking about to get pointers on how to further my music so I can create perfect music that I would like to listen to.

Cause you know, its all about me and stuff.

Haha, just kidding.

I've been browsing this forum for a couple of weeks and have really enjoyed reading here,
I thank you all for being so friendly, and helpful, even though I've never made contact with most of you.
I hope to meet and talk music with many'a'pony.

[Kushy Kallous]

Hey Minley, great to meet you.
Hopefully you'll have a great time here. Make sure to talk to one of us (all of us) if you need any help with things like Mixing, mastering, music theory, whatevs. We're all happy to help you out anytime.

If you're having a problem with music theory, feel free to talk to me. Mastering or mixing I am not a god at. :3
I look forward to seeing some of the great stuff you produce.

Thanks Kyoga, Nice to make such a friendly acquaintance.

I might actually hit you up on that, I've been thinking a lot on music theory, and any input you have would be great. I'm planning on taking a course at one of my local community colleges, soon enough. -- But it would be great to have other peoples takes on it before I do.

As far as my level, and help that I'll need; yeah, I think I'll need all the help I can get. I'm basically pretty noobie with everything.
I'll post up a piece and ask for critique, it might be a good start.

[Kagetori]

Um, hi. I'm Kagetori.
I made this tread recently- viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3763
as you can see, I like to make music, otherwise I wouldn't be here.

I love Touhou, and that's what got me into music. I wanted to make my own game with music that's really good too, and I'm currently still working on the soundtrack to a series which doesn't exist which is called "Project Aidios". I'm also into writing and various arts, the game series has a huge plot planned out. Anyways, aside from that, I know NOTHING about music. I don't know what the keys are named or the chords are called, but I understand how it works and how it can sound good. Anyways, please click the link above to see (or, hear I should say) what I've made... I mean, if you don't mind or anything. Umm, thanks.

OH, AND MY FAVORITE PONY IS RAINBOW DASH!

[Sinyk]

Hi, I'm Sinyk.
... I've kind of been debating on whether or not to make an account here for almost two weeks now, because I'm kind of shy and so I wasn't sure whether or not I'd be able to build up the courage to post anything here.

But today I decided to try and make an account here, and well... Here I am. :3

I just recently got into making electronic music, or music in general. I used to live in Germany, because my dad is in the military, but moved back to America in late January, and I started looking into music production soon after that.
I don't think I'm that good yet, but I'm always looking to improve, and hope that being here will be a good start.
I listen to, and enjoy, almost every genre of music, except country and pop. :3
Oh, and my three favorite ponies are Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity.

[Proto]

Hey there! Name's Josh but I go by the name of Proto. I was actually invited to join by a friend who was invited to join aswell! We just got back from bronyCon and that sure was fun. Okay, so a little about me? Well I like to make cosplays and props for things. I've dabbled in some music production but would Love to get to know it better! Oh and for Anypony that went to BronyCon, I was the random Big Macin-Kamina-tosh ? I honestly don't know what to call it, I wasn't aiming for anything, Just wanted to have fun by being as random as possible!

[MorteMcAdaver]

Hello! Morte McAdaver here. I compose and perform music for Pandora's Toybox, Sorrowseed, and Blacksoul Seraphim, plus numerous piano compositions and other small projects here and there.

As another soul swept up by the greatness of MLP:FiM, I've been wanting to get involved with fellow brony musicians and the community for a while. However, I'm pretty reclusive and shy, especially about my own work (I usually need others to be excited on my behalf, otherwise I tend to feel like an egotistical jerk). However, I am pushing myself to say hello to the community and offer whatever pony and non-pony related compositions I can! My subject and mood are often on the "grimdark" or otherwise very melancholy and dreary side, but I feel that I can at least offer some tunes here and there.

It is a relief to see that I'm not the only shy one here. So, hello to you all! I invite you to browse my Soundcloud (and wherever else you can come across my tunes) while I keep whipping up some pony-pertinent melodies and lyrics, or just re-labeling/re-structuring old songs to conform to the Herd.

Cheers!

[Kushy Kallous]

Hail, fellow new people.

If any complete amateurs want to talk amateur music, I'm their guy. :D:D:D

As for the others, glad to see more people coming in and posting.

[icedog25]

Heya, I'm Icedog. I like making pony remixes. Well, I like to try, at least. I've only really finished and uploaded one pony remix... well, it was a remix of a remix. eh, whatever.

I decided to join the forum because I want to get to know more pony musicians, and because I could use the help and guidance of all you smart people/ponies.

I use FL Studio for my music-y stuff. I've been interested in music for a long time. I've used lots of silly programs, like Mario paint composer and cakewalk home studio. Though, I didn't really seriously dive into music making until I got FL Studio. I've been using FL Studio for about 1 year now, but I still have a lot to learn.

I overuse the shit out of 3xOsc and Fruity Parametric EQ 2.

I like to think that I'm good at writing chord structures, melodies, and all that jazz. My biggest issue is getting the technical parts right. My synths often sound flat and/or uninteresting. I want my stuff to be more energetic and fun, but I don't really know how to do that without sounding cheesy, annoying, or just plain icky. I think the first place to start would be to get some new effects, but I haven't got a clue where to start looking.

My avatar is a stick figure I drew in about 30 seconds. Just a placeholder until I get a more ponypony avatar figured out. I also want to figure out a better name to go by in the pony world, because icedog just seems kinda... unfitting to me.

Believe it or not, I have non-pony interests too. Most of the time, If I'm not working on music or watching videos, I'm playing Team Fortress 2. I've played over 2,000 hours of TF2. And, more recently, I've been getting involved in competitive TF2, which has been all sorts of fun.

I like writing, talking, and language in general. That's why I've basically written a novel about my life here. I don't have the patience to write a fan-fiction or anything, though.

I'll hopefully get to know some of you a bit better soon, assuming I ever do post.

[LFP]

Welcome new people ^^!

[KillerAmp]

wow so many new people to all of you if you ever need help with anything were all friendly here, and you'll absolutely find out the solution to almost any issue you could have :3

[Zeeraw]

Hey Guys

I haven't really been active on the forums, more of a chat person.
Now when I've met a lot of you guys at bronycon though I might spend some more time here.

For you who doesn't know (probably all of you), I'm a singer & programmer. I run the site cloudsdale.org

[Ralm]

Not exactly "NEW" So to speak
I've been around the music scene since last October but I've only been REALLY Into it since about the beginning of this year
I've talked in allot of Skype groups and such I just thought it was about time I got an account here xD

[Sonarch]

I had no idea so many people were on this site! I won't be able to read all of these posts!

Well, my name is Noah, but I've decided to make music under the name Sonarch. I'm 15, been playing guitar for a few years, and recently started taking guitar in school, which has taught me a ton, and I'm interested in learning a bunch of other instruments. I love music of all kinds, and I can usually find something I enjoy in just about anything. Rap, rock, metal, orchestral, chiptune, i'm even starting to like dubstep. However, I haven't exposed myself to nearly enough general music, so I don't know too many bands/artists, current or otherwise, but I've decided I love pony music. It's one of my favorite parts of the fandom, and all you musicians have totally inspired me to make my own. It looks like so much fun, making music and interacting with you all. I'm excited to start producing!
Also;
-I have Sony ACID 8 and I don't know how to use it. I'm exploring, but it would be cool if I had someone on here who knew how to use it that I could go to for help.
-I don't know what kind of music I'll be making since I love all kinds, so it could be all over the place.
-My favorite pony is Dashie

I will try to refrain from getting too excited talking to some of you, as i'm a huge fan of a lot of the artists i'm seeing on this forum. Also, don't feel bad if I don't know who you are, i'm way behind on everyone's songs and have yet to catch up.

[Sobibble]

Hello :3

My name is Sobibble, but if you want to you can call me Rory.

I've been lurking around here for a while, found this site about a month or so ago.
I've always been interested in music but never had the patience to learn an actual DAW until I got older. (As in older... I mean I am about to turn 21 and just started)

I started getting serious with FL studio/Ableton about 8 months ago and produced a couple horrible tracks and got addicted. They are awful to the ears, but to me it was progress. Every little new thing I learn dramatically improves my work and inspires me to keep at it to produce like some of my favorite artists in this community.

So with my work quality greatly improved, and new equipment to match, I say "Hello" to you all and look forward to working with any of you.

-Ableton Live 8 Suite
-Strengths in Piano anything, and generally soft music - I'd like to think I can rap decent
-Weakness in anything related to vocal editing and singing

[3Earl]

hello

[TheSyrethClan]

Hi There!
I'm Silence. Ever since I've heard of this site I thought this may be the perfect opportunity to learn how to make music. I have NEVER EVER took any DAW's in my hand neither real instruments. I have been working with 3D renders a year, but since I got FL Studio for my birthday I decided to climb a bigger mountain and learn how to make music.

[Counterwise]

Hello!

I go by Counterwise, but you can call me Connor if you like. I'm just a 16 year old bloke from Australia. If you told me 1 year ago that I would be making music about My Little Pony, I would've called you insane. The main reason being I wasn't into music much at all, and looked on all music negatively. I would always get irritated by my brother playing his dubstep WAY too loud in his room. Though now I've come to realise that music is beautiful.

Anyway, I'm a fairly new brony, only arriving in this fandom in about February. And it was this fandom itself that inspired me to start making music. I've had no musical experience what so ever before in my life, no instruments, no DAW's. But I gave FL a shot anyway, and here I am today. Although I've been producing music for a couples months, I've only decided to join MLR now because I'm rather shy, and after looking at the amount of kind and friendly people here, I have no reason why I shouldn't be here

My favourite genre of music if I had to pick one, would have to be Electro House, though I do enjoy basically all kinds of music, except for really heavy death metal kinda stuff. My weaknesses in making music are probably melodies, and mixing and mastering.

Wow I typed a lot here, I should probably wrap this up.

I look forward to meeting all of you, and getting know you a bit better! Hopefully I can learn a thing or two while I'm here
