Vocoders are shit and should never be used in a song ever...

I take the liberty to do as I please in my songs, whether it pleases anypony else or not. This includes vocoders as well as homebrew Simmons drum sounds.

Says the guy who probably uses autotune. :3

Acsii is a guy? Since when?

and the joke just flew right over your head.

No, no, no. You have it all wrong.
People who use Melodyne have no real talent.

And bitspeek is a piece of crap.

I can so imagine Glaze reading this, biting his tongue pretty hard so he doesn't scream at the insolence you guys've put on display.
Let me contribute though. Hell to vocoders? Yay~
\o3o/



Anyways, there's this thing I've been wondering about some time now. How does one appropriately comment on an immaculate masterpiece? Screaming a superlative would be the easy way to go, but it's not exactly 'helpful' to the deliverer of awesomeness. I've noticed that very clearly by now. I always try to put effort into my comments, with helping out the producer with small things that could maybe be changed, but when there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's quickly just an "oh my god YES" or "you are god" or anything similar. Welp.

Ideas? Anyone?

So friends. Any of you been to Iceland... Because it's kind of a bucket list thing... to go to Iceland because it's just so beautiful and I just want to go there and take it all in...

Probably like you'd go about giving anything feedback. Note on what you really like, write in detail why, and what you feel its doing and so on. Detail, really, like long feedbacks feel the best, imo. You don't need to say what has to be changed to give good feedback.
Like even I've gotten people saying "u da bezz" , but I feel nothing, and it just feels so fake.

[S.P.P]

I agree with eery. Saying why something is good is as good a piece of feedback as why something isn't good, if not more so. It helps pinpoint the good areas of production which can then be transferred to other works, improving general quality in the future.

Destroy All Vocoders 2014
A Cause Even the Mods Can Carry

[ExoBassTix]

Thanks for the answers, and I'll PM you about your reply to me later because it annoys me.

Just now I got another thing on my mind. First I wrote two drafts for something to 1) get rid of annoyances and risk getting shit, 2) tell about how shit I feel. I removed those because they felt inconsiderate and taking up space. Then I thought back to something I thought about maaaaany times before but never 'confirmed', that it's best that, when you feel like shit, you don't talk about it because you'll be interrupting others and holy fuck why do I forget what I think about so easily?



Okay I wrote that two hours ago. Did some focus meditation to calm down a little bit. Next time I have a day like this I'll try to stay off the internet.

Were you quoting that game about aliens and earths destruction?

[Alycs]

I'm not funny

[JSynth]

I find that vocoding either works really well or not at all for me. (Usually the latter.)

Also, Lyra is superior to Carrot Top.

[ph00tbag]

Can we stop calling her Carrot Top? I mean seriously, this is one situation where the official name is just hands down better.

[Viricide Filly]

I agree with Ph00t. Golden Harvest is a way better name than Carrot Top, and Carrot Top just makes me think of that one douchebag "comedian" by the same name.

[ExoBassTix]

This is actually the first time I hear "Golden Harvest." I personally prefer Carrot Top tons over that name.

I also just wanted to say that friendship is magic.

[LFP]

Golden harvest feels super awkward to me when putting the words like that, it's like naming derpy "big bubble" or octavia "royal pianist" (not that she plays piano) (oh and yes I don't like the name shining armor either).

Agreed.

Like Minuette and Colgate.

See, I had no idea that she had an official name. I'll probably forget it by tomorrow anyway.
