Very true. Plus, I'm totally fine with 4/4 if that's where you feel comfortable. I'll probably go off in some crazy direction anyway.

I have also never used wubs before, so I suppose I better learn quickly.

I suck with wubs too, no worries. My first and only attempt at something close to dubstep was my Flutterstep (*brags* got an EqD spot *brags*) - I am not a huge fan of those very fast dubstep tracks.

I'm a fan of fast, slow, high, low, between the legs, bouncing off the nose, or anything. Just as long as it's put together with some musical talent to make it sound good.

I've managed to land two of my songs on EqD. One being a Manticore remix and the other being a Zecora-themed electronic/tribal piece.

And as far as wubs go, I've only made one dubstep piece, though I'd like to believe it was a fairly good dubstep piece. A little easier on the ears than usual dubstep, but eh.

My remix of Nightmare Night by cyrricky made it on his album and got pretty good reactions from the few who saw it, but it wasn't pony enough to get on EqD (probably because I removed the pony samples to make room for some ME3 :lol: )

I think we can all agree that EQD is a little bit strange in regards to what they accept. Besides, I'd rather get good comments and feedback than millions of views. Not that the two can't go hand and hand, but that's why I like sites like MLR. There are some talented people here who know what they're doing, and are willing to help other become better musicians. It's beautiful.

Yeah, I can't really work EqD out. My stuff isn't amazing, but I have definitely heard worse on EqD before...

Alright, so as I began writing this piece, it started to turn from pure metal to something more along the lines of symphonic metal. Though, I suppose I'll roll with it.

Don't worry, mine's being real inconsistent too.

Oh, believe me, inconsistency is the name of my game. I don't think I've made a single song that can be fit into one single genre, or otherwise hasn't implemented features from any other genre into it at some point.

Probably the only thing that's even somewhat consistent throughout my songs is the pipe organ. Because freaking pipe organs.

question, do collabs have to be between people already signed up?

All this talk about EQD makes me wonder.... If we could get a trailer for this album together with a sample of something some of us have been working on, and somehow land that on EQD, the popularity of tis whole thing would increase.

I was thinking about doing something along those lines, yeah. I could probably whip up a fancy banner or some other kind of graphical supplement as well.

WE SHOULD TOTALLY DO A DONATION THING

no, we shouldn't. We could only legally do that if nobody did any remixes, and even then, it's sketchy. People would rather give for a reason (such as charity) than "just because".

Back to the current topic, I won't really be able to start anything anytime soon (week or so). School's jumping down my throat, and I've slacked off a lot in an online class. That's going to come back and kick me in the butt soon

Right, so after a bit of work, I've managed to cook up three different potential banners for this thing, each with their own little tagline thrown in.

Since its full I would be up for an optional collab position if anyone wants a partner.

I like this banner the most and this album idea should definitely be posted on EQD to get the word around.

I read through my last couple of posts and it seems like I'm being a troll.
That's not supposed to happen...

Anyway, I like the banners. all three are very nice
my only question/concern is that the tagline doesn't really tell what this project is about.
OP wrote: "Lesser Knowns" Is a kickstart album for Brony musicians that may not have recieved the type of recognition they deserve.


Oscure and unknown??
Unknown, yes(ish), but obscure?
well, maybe we are obscure :-P

I dunno, I don't really have any ideas concerning the tagline specifically, however those designs are fantastic. I'm sure Rarity would approve
