and you quoted that because.....

the song I came up with just has guitar and drums, would you be able to come up with a bass part?

Of course, "My Voice to You" didn't even have bass but I came up with it    You gonna put it on Noteflight or something?

Sorry if this is spam.    But are you going to have like a subscription thing, where people who are intrested in your band will be told when you're done with a song?

That's not spam at all    That actually seems like a great idea but we don't really know how to do it. Perhaps having a newsletter of some kind would be the way to do it, but I don't really know of any service that lets you do so. We could also send demos of our songs, and band news through the newsletter.

Lol thanks.    Some people just do it on a scratch project.

you have to know how to write music on noteflight, right?

Yeah. If you can't write sheet music for guitar or bass you can use tabs, and writing sheet music for drums is actually mostly rhythm, once you know where each drum and cymbal goes.

EDIT: Well I listened to the song now, sounds like it'll be easy to transcribe on Noteflight

hey technoguyx, why are there 7 members of Frozen Coco on soundcloud?

Well, out of those only 3 are moderators, those are the actual members of the band (designer45 and leebee are missing still, though I sent designer45 a link to the group). 

jslomba wrote:

is leebee still gonna do the vocals? I'm getting impatient.

Not for this song, I'm still waiting to know if designer45 can do the backup, though she said she could.

EDIT: Also, transcription done

Are you sure you made the transcription public?

lol I forgot. Now it should be

so, are we going to release albums and stuff? also, we need to name those two 'untitled's.

btw, does anyone liek my song?

Not sure about an album, for that we'll need enough material for like 50 minutes of play. I say we aim for a short EP first, with 4 or 5 songs perhaps. But before that we need to finish this track lol, we're close though 

My idea is this, once we're done with My Voice to You we advertise it like crazy, and once half Scratch knows us we release an original as a single, then the EP. Thoughts?

EDIT: I gave my song idea a title (actually I'm between two titles... Check first post for link) and some lyrics    Not sure about the lyrics though, might change them sometime. The lyrics so far:

(Verse 1)
It feels oh so great
life is beautiful
with you by my side
life is wonderful

(Pre-Chorus)
With you I feel alive
stay with me so I can live alright

(Chorus)
Life is oh so great
when I share it with you
Life's so beautiful
when I'm besides you

I think it's a bit repetive but pretty good, considering I'm not that good at writing lyrics in English

I'd rather have the whole band decide on that.    So far mine is more complete (lyrics) and longer, but yours is shorter and has less instruments, which would let us record it in less time (I think).

designer45 also has parts of an original song somewhere, but I'm not sure if it's actually for the band

I can't come up with good lyrics for mine, I think it might be better off without lyrics.

You can't, but somebody else might. My only problem at writing lyrics is that I never know what to write about    I think it's a bit too simple to not have lyrics though.
