So earlier I was playing a game by Munguia (A.K.A The Medal Fairy) and my internet glitched out, so when I was earning some of the medals I didn't realize I wasn't connected meaning they weren't saved. I went through this game 4 times I tell you to get all the possible medals. But when I went to check them, this happened.

Yep, that's right. I have the MegaMind medal, meaning I would've had to have gotten every right answer but as you can see, there's still 7 secret medals I haven't unlocked meaning I technically haven't gotten all the right answers. This is definitely one of the more humorous glitches I ran into. Shame I got to get all those medals again (I say "all those" because I merely guess in Munguia's parody series lol).

(Pretty much every user I've PM'ed has recieved this title at least once lol)

So I officially got Town Watch status today yey.

Here's another preview image of my upcoming DnB track, I actually finally constructed a drum pattern I was happy with. However, it's not that I wasn't happy with any other drum pattern or drum sample I selected, it's because when I put it into the playlist the drums would be completely drowned out. These drums will work fine, but if they sound loud it's because I had to sacrifice with me being really happy with the melody. Drums are usually louder in DnB anyways.

So far I have some phaser and frequency automation, I might add some panning automation as well just because this is a fun, expiremental track I'm working on just like every track I make is an expirement of something. Once I finish the build-up I might put a WIP version on my Soundcloud since I have a couple followers on there, plus anyone who follows me here that may be interested can listen to it there.

Someone told me I should try drum and bass, so when I was making leads in Harmor I decided to use one to compose a quick melody:

What sounds really cool is when you hear the phaser go all the way up, I think it's really cool :D. I decided to go with 165 BPM because I didn't want to go too fast, my only stuck point is now finding the right drums and putting them into a good pattern, I've always failed with DnB patterns. However by looking at a tutorial I was inspired to layer drums making this track my first in layering. I probably should study some DnB to analyze where drums are placed and where do transitions happen.

It's like 12:00 AM where I live what is life right now.

Finally after a couple months of browsing the medal page I've gotten 10,000 medal points!

Now onto 15,000 lol.

Wanted to wait till I released .:Nightlights:. before I got one since I want my better tracks on there, check it out!

Also, since I don't want it to seem like I'm just porting .mp3 files to another website I plan to post some WIP's there so I can stop flooding all my space in my Dropbox.

Until I'm back on the audio portal if you want to download my tracks you should probably head over there.

This is my only form of self-promotion at the moment bear with me lol.

In this track I tried a few new techniques, ones that I was going to show off in my previous track but got corrupted.

The song is called .:Nightlights:., the same title as the one that got corrupted.

And just to show I didn't steal the track from someone else, here is a screenshot of the full .flp

My computer can't stay connected to the internet for more than 15 seconds wth.

Oh yeah, I've been kinda messing around with another track. Because I've had such a music block I just play around with a track and see if it's worth progressing on. I don't want to spoil what's in progress, but I do want to showcase a riser I made on my own with Harmor and GMS:

5655099_146808844981_Screenshot109.png

Excluding drum samples, it's something I made completely on my own. In Harmor I made a wobble synth that I named Woof Wobble because it sounds a bit like those wind-up toy dogs that walk. In GMS I made a bass called Fox Growl that I've made use of in this song. However when I added this to the riser as well as synced it with pitch it sounds a bit like a Drowzee snoring (you would get what I am saying if you ever played the Snore War minigame in Pokemon Stadium). I've also been making use of the Parametric EQ 2 a lot. It was confusing at first, but now I know a bit of the basics. I don't know what each knob does, however I play around until I get a sound I like.

This may be a track that might go good. I am the absolute worse with drops/transitions though. I also don't have a clue what the genre of this track will be. Even though it's 140 BPM I am not going to attempt dubstep again. I actually wanted to style this off of Mario Kart OST, but I ended up making a bit of progress so I didn't want to make a 30 second loop. However don't be surprised if the transition turns out really bad.

I first want to apologize for acting the way I did over my last post. For anyone who reads this, my scout was taken away because I don't have the quality needed for it. It's not like I can't get rescouted, it just needs to be in a better point and time. I've been kind of having blocks lately with music. My inspired track I've been working on since June still isn't done because I'm having a hard time finding a good lead for the transition. I've also been doing a bit of messing around with ideas seeing if I could make them into full tracks. This is a portion of a test I'm making with more advanced automation and chords (don't mind the mixing being too loud it will be fixed if I work on this).

I'll get better as I go along. But the block isn't caused by anything related to here..

Hard to say when I'll get a track done. Hopefully soon.

The worst thing just happened..

SO today I got a message notification. And normally I'm happy about that because it's usually a friend I talk to. But no, today's message was from M-Bot titled 'Audio Membership Revoked'. Meaning, I'm officially unscouted. FOR WHAT?! The message didn't say anything except for reminding me again my audio won't show up in the audio portal but I can still post. Posting isn't helpful. I came to post AUDIO. But now I can't, because I'm unscouted without a reason. I have no idea what caused it. I don't post on forums, I try to keep my reviews fair (except for the 0 star reviews for copyright), I haven't scouted anyone who didn't deserve to be scouted. The only reason I can think of is one I don't want to say. Hopefully this is an honest mistake and I can get my scout back. If not, I can't participate in the AIM and will never be recognized on here. Basically, I'll have no reason to post audio here and will have to migrate elsewhere.

I'm really mad about this. I was really happy to share my upcoming track with everyone. Now, I may have to upload it to YT exclusively. And I've barely gotten views on my YT.

To any of the people I talk to frequently on here, I'm sorry. I'm gonna try and stay on here. But it will be impossible knowing I will never be recognized on here.
