When designer45 is done recording the backup, so I can mix the song with that and then we'll see how we advertise it, other than through the radio (magazines and stuff).

It'd be great if we could do the broadcast on a weekend or Friday night, when more people are online 

Alright! 

Why don't you give me some questions now, for me to answer on text first and then speaking them? 

Also. I'll try to record the bass for our 2 original song ideas so far soon. I suppose we should leave them as they are right now, with no changes. jslomba, hpotter134, can you record your respective tracks as well?

I'm going to be up in Canada, so I'll do them when I get back next weekend.

Why did you have the idea to create the band?

Why was this song chosen?

What are the band's future plans?

I was inspired when I saw Bluestribute's plans for a Scratch band. It didn't work out too well, so I thought, why not give it another try? Then I posted on the Collaboration forum and we got the band together.

designer45 suggested we recorded, among some others, the song "My Voice to You" by Noteflight user Dennis Yang. We loved it, it's a pretty catchy song.

Personally, I thought of recording an EP with 4 or so songs, and release it for free, advertising mostly on the Scratch website.

(I'll try to record that as soon as I can. It'll be the first time I'll actually use my mic haha.)

Backup is complete.

You'll have to edit out a little bit at the beginning for it to sync up to the rest of the song.

Great, downloading now 

EDIT: Here's a preview. I also uploaded the full version but right now only I, jslomba, designer45 and hpotter134 should be able to listen to it, can you? Also veggieman, if you have a SoundCloud account I can let you download it too.

Btw I need to get the pass for the FrozenCoco Scratch account somehow, either that or I send designer45 the project to upload.

This band seems to be dying. :c Scratchazine is inactive right now and veggieman hasn't said anything about playing My Voice to You on veggieradio, so should we just release it now? I even have the project done, just a background with the music

Yeah, sorry, I should be recording When I'm Beside You, but I've been rather busy. I'll see if I can get to it tomorrow.

My Voice To You sounds great though, you're really good at mixing. And kudos to jslomba too, I was having my doubts about your drum-ability on your first couple takes, but I really like the sound of the drums now 

I should too but my bass is missing a string D: And I agree on that last thing, jslomba's first takes sound pretty sloppy but it sounds pretty good when you put the rest of the band in

I'm back from Canada! looks like I'm the only one besides designer45 who can record this right now., XD

btw, the sorta finished version of My Voice To You sounds really good. SM has been advertizing you, so that will get the band a lot of fame.

Oh, he used my music and linked to my stuff it seems    We should post the song soon then, but if I don't have the pass to the FrozenCoco account I guess I'll have to post the project under my account (which could be a good thing anyway, since my account is a bit popular  ). I'll go do that right now.

EDIT: Done! Here's a square button (they rock.) for you guys to advertise the project:

Yay for release! I did some quick editing on the cover image, like making it darker and adding the penguin. I put it in my signature. Do you like it?

tbh I didn't really like it... the penguin would be a good addition, yeah, but the image looks too "intense", and that doesn't really fit the song, or a pencil drawing either.    I see your point about it being kinda hard to distinguish the instruments, though.

Also I bought new bass strings :3 I'll record When I'm Besides You and maybe jslomba's song idea tomorrow. I'll e-mail designer45 the project too, I guess

Ignoring jslomba, we could use a permanent keyboardist/pianist (right now hpotter134 plays both guitar and keys), or a talented graphic artist (since none of us is that good at it lol). If you are either we could see if you could join us

Okay, I tried to make it less intense...is it better, or should I give up? 

Looks a little blue/purple now ._.

EDIT: More song ideas, this time for a sad ballad. Thoughts? Btw the bass intro sounds much better when played IRL, Noteflight's soundbank kinda butchers it.

Yes. Maybe I'll be able to play keys sometime in the future when I FINALLY get a keyboard that I can put right up next to the computer. I've got this gargantuan one in my living room, and the computer is on the second floor. I'm issued a laptop for school, but that stays at school. Maybe if I got my band teacher's permission to use his...

But school doesn't start until 8/30, which is 17 days away. So yeah, find a different stand-in keys.

Ok,that sounds good

It's kinda unanimous that I stink at graphics, so

*closes graphics editing program*
*opens sound editing program*

I'll get to work now 

Edit: Curated? AWESOME!
