Title: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 22, 2014, 03:23:06 PM Wrote this back in 1989 when I was eleven years old, although I didn't record it until fall 2002. As the original recording was only a demo, I FINALLY finished it on 25 December 2013.

Title: Re: 2PM Post by: mikeyj on January 22, 2014, 09:09:35 PM I gotta be honest and say you're music is not really my thing. However, I actually enjoyed this quite a bit! Nice job! :)

It took 25 years for me to get the arrangement right :lol Title: Re: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 22, 2014, 09:25:58 PM I gotta be honest and say you're music is not really my thing.

I know the stuff we do is not for everyone, but certainly try to do our best 8) Title: Re: 2PM Post by: Jay on January 22, 2014, 10:06:30 PM Not bad for an 11 year old. ;D :lol This recording was recent (i.e. last month) but the melody was first created in my head back then.

Oddly, this version is *exactly* how I heard it in my head way back when, and it took this long to get it right!

Title: Re: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 23, 2014, 06:52:42 PM Thank you very much! One day I'd like to have a live band record this, and possibly add lyrics & vocals to this.
Title: Re: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 23, 2014, 10:27:21 PM Crazy...it has made #49 on Soundclicks's electronic charts... and NUMBER ONE on their game soundtrack charts!!!
Title: Re: 2PM Post by: Jay on January 23, 2014, 10:36:43 PM Great news billy! ;D I told you, Fear2Stop is going to be big someday. 8)
Title: Re: 2PM Post by: feelsflow on January 24, 2014, 09:25:27 AM First-off, Billy, that might be the funniest avatar you have come up with so far.
Okay, the sound-clip...I've listened to ten or so you've done - you do so many... This is the Best one I've heard. Very 70's Bop/Pop -has a nice groove. The lead piano part is great. This is just you on a keyboard right? Not the band? I don't want to do any negative criticism on you or anyone here. But, some of the more out-there Electro/Jazzy/Pop Music ( if that's what to call it), isn't what I listen to usually. I do listen to the 2000's REM stuff that is similar. The Reveal album is one of my favorites, mostly because they could get such a "Beach Boys" sound on it. Like I say though, this song Is Very Good. You should develop it more, add some lyrics if you want, but this sounds good as an instrumental. I didn't post it the other night, but I watched/listened to your "vocal audition" you-tube clip from last year. How did that work out? I wouldn't have seen it, as I can't bring myself to watch any of those types of shows. But, it seems we do have some very talented players and singers posting on Smiley. RangeRover kept suggesting I check some of the Music Section, and glad I did. Keep Rockin' it Up!, Will Title: Re: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 24, 2014, 03:00:36 PM TY Will...Wish I could take credit for actually playing the keyboard. I used to be able to play decently, but that's one of the (thankfully few) things I haven't been able to do since my minor stroke 3 years ago. I actually have a disc for my Playstation 2 that lets you make beats and music using pre-made loops. Well, that's not to my liking, so I make my own...which basically means I create each note one-by-one, individually. Kind of like a piano roll, really. Can be time consuming, but it gets it done. A lot of times, rather than use an instrument sample that comes with the program, I'll sample a different sound off of my daughter's keyboard, or maybe something else entirely (such as using the sound of my keys shaking as a hi-hat sound). From there, I hook up my PS2 to my laptop and record each track into Audacity. I then do my mixing and mastering with Adobe Audition.
Confusing? This video tutorial explains it a bit http://youtu.be/3qWLayx_JNY I was a bit under the weather (plus nearly 50 pounds heavier) but it works. I didn't make it past the auditions for the Voice, although I was selected as an alternate. Nothing ended up happening, but it was a hell of a great experience. Title: Re: 2PM Post by: Jay on January 24, 2014, 10:01:54 PM I had to laugh at feelsflow's "you do so many" comment. Oh, if you only knew. ::) :lol
Title: Re: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 24, 2014, 10:10:01 PM Yeah... going through my back catalogue and realizing the 234 songs on the site are actually less than half of our output was a headfucker :lol
Title: Re: 2PM Post by: Jay on January 24, 2014, 10:13:31 PM Probably more like 1,234 tracks, actually. ;D
Title: Re: 2PM Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 24, 2014, 10:46:11 PM In all seriousness, it might be roughly 500-600.
