There's not a fault in your post. You said something, I gave an honest opinion on what I think the facts are. Just because I disagree doesn't mean your opinion is null and void.
I'm not here anymore, but if you want you can still just call me Mr. BigBagelBoggle!

Essensially, the 3.5 album will go on as usual, and the 4th, the one lavender and silva hound will be managing will come after that.

This may be just me but:
I feel like BP should have been a one hit type of thing. Maybe a two hit with the rainbow one.
But I feel like beyond that, it's just being milked and it's being milked too quickly. If I were in charge of it, each album would be at least 2 years apart. Why?
1. Keeping them far apart would allow for the hype of each album to come and go. There is hype for a short amount of time and then everyone just kind of pushes it to the background. The people will want more eventually but will settle with what they have or search for other outlets. But as far as BP, they get what they get. Then after 2 years, another album comes out. (This is the listener perspective.)
On the musician side, each album would have 1 year of time to plan. 12 months prior is the "notice phase" where everyone who is a musician is notified of the upcoming event and is given some background on what it's about.
9 months prior is when submissions open and they close 2 months prior.
2-1 months prior is when you announce to the artists who made it and who didn't. And then you request changes and finalization a. By this time, the album cover is also selected and a website is erected. Teasers are made and posted around YouTube. Announcements made for release dates etc.
2 weeks prior, all finalized work is turned in. Meaning all works that had been accepted under the condition that a specific part was fixed is fixed and turned in. All work that is turned in will be compiled and an order is made for the album playlist.
1 week prior: upload all songs and enable pre-order and previewing of first three songs. Also have spotlights on brony radio show and talk about the album and the contributors and the whole everything that goes along with the album.
3 days prior: delete ballon party and tell everyone it's all a joke. Go home.
^^ but seriously, 3 days prior is when you send out all the hype mail to places like dad and other news sites for promotional stuff
Release day: stuff is released
1 week post release: community vote on top track of each genre in album
2 week post release: compile a YouTube playlist of pmvs made from the album
4 week post release: a look back, when artists come out and talk about their experience with balloon party, making music, etc. all articles and notes from artists will be compiled onto the BP site.
6 month post release: sell album for only a dollar from now on

Collect all the money earned from the album. Divide it by the amount of artists who opt for payment plus 10. Give them money. The rest of the money and all money earned post 6 months will be collected to give to various brony charities. Why? Because why not?
That's just me. I can handle organized chaos like that.

Anyway, my rant I was originally going to go on wasn't going to be that post ^^
I was gonna say something more about how BP should have been done way differently. But what happened already happened so it doesn't even matter. You can't change the post. Only the future.

Yeah, I realized, like, that day that it could have been an option. By then it was really too late to organize anything, obvi.

Well it's easy to upset with BP when it had a 6 album plan (one each for each of the mane 6) as a representation of the best of pony music to help get musicians to bronycons; and it changes from that simple layout. It was meant to be a series (and pretty much a yearly one), have a community benefit for musicians, and have high quality. But it's gone downhill since the first one (if you liked tha one of course), the recipe has been changed many times, no real schedule or planning, and failed to get the same particpation or fan interest. It's a shame. People really would love it if it could properly be revived.

If changing it means abandoning the 6 album mane 6 focus or not focusing on it as pony music and instead giving generic edm by ppl who occasionally watch the show.... then I and a lot of other pppl are likely not going to be interested. There's a reason why the remaining musicians who still make music in this fandom are upset with the current plans and that's because they're changing everything it's stood for (and are incredibly disorganized again i must add). If the only thing you want from it is quality polished music go visit a record store and buy something off the shelf. I want something from the fandom, by the fandom, and for the fandom and that revolves around mlp. Continuing the mane 6 album arc or having the pony influence be apparent should not bring down the quality of the songs. The fear of getting sued by Hasbro over pony samples is a weak excuse and frankly unwarranted. You take MLP out of the equation and you're wasting everyone's time and doing it a disservice. If the organizers aren't going to listen to that criticism and don't have a solid and smart plan to revive the event it in the intended form then they shouldn't take it over. That includes Clean Sweep which now is rushed thanks to its deadline, going to be inherently weaker if its BP3.5, and is missing the support and quality control needed for a BP revival.

My opinion.

I wonder if we just underestimated the fandom too much that people'd make a drama about something that doesn't matter yet (namely, the album to be after The Clean Sweep).
And I wonder why people keep on calling the album The Takeover. That's not a title, that's just words we used to announce in April Fools fashion that Silva and Lavender joined the team.

Words seem to fail me. Too many things said.

You could but it'd only sound a little like a bird if you squinted. Bird calls are a little more complicated than pure tones. DJ Snake sampled those bird calls.

In the event people will look over it, mind Makkon's important new announcement post about the future of MLR: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10287

Go read up and discuss!

that is so cool!!! i wonder what sort of bird it is (if anyone here is a proper ornithologist, i am curious. im trying to get into that but its hARD)
so i tried sampling a black capped chickadee which is the best bird ever to make this
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0pgKJkb1ygU
but i only used like one bird sample im sure it would sound neater if i used multiple things. but do yall have any other advice on what i can do ? (i dont know why im doing this its just BIRDS that are so ridiculous, like im certainly not going to make a Trap song or anything like that,)

Isn't that granular/sample based though, so really it's not synthesising the sounds?

Hey guys.
I'm not going to make a thread about this. I just am going to say this once and that'll be that because this isn't pony related at all (but could be if you wanted it to be.)

I'm making an album entirely out of collabs.
I first mentioned this on my music Facebook group and to the other admins on it. So there is certainly interest in it from other regulars of music.
But I was just checking with my brony friends if they want in or not. Let me know if you're interested in making a collab with me for the album.
If yea, I'll give you more details.
There is no set time limit on this yet because I'm still collecting general interest. So don't tell me, "I would but the deadline is too soon."
So yea, pm me or something if interested.
