Greetings, fellow bronies.

I'm a college student studying Computer Science. I've been a brony for the better part of a year, and I'm really impressed with all the music that bronies make. Since I have some free time now with school out for the summer, I thought I'd try making some music myself.

I've had some experience making music before. I took a semester course in music theory a while ago, and I've written a few simple songs. I sing (a little), play piano (a little), and play guitar (a little). But prior to investigating the brony music scene, I hadn't realized how much great music could be produced on a computer without any actual instruments. It seems really interesting to me, so I decided to give it a try.

Right now I'm using LMMS and some free VSTs. I'll consider upgrading to paid software if I ever get good enough to warrant it. I have a lot to learn about music composition and production, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I don't have a favorite genre per se, but I like music that combines old and new, e.g. including orchestral instruments in a song with a modern beat.

I hope to learn a lot here and improve my work, and maybe make some friends too. It's nice to meet everyone.

Hi, bronies of MLR
You can call me Tiazn.

I make music, well started making music actually.
I've pretty much lurked here for quite a while already, only now that I'm introducing myself :p

I've been playing music for quite a while, since I was 5. Started playing the piano, then moving on to play the violin. I'm still not really good at playing, but I've always had a passion for music, good music.

As with many of us, ponies are what got me to start producing music, and seeing how amazing of a community we have here.

Downloaded Ableton around the beginning of January, and started tweaking and messing around since then. I've finished a music track just now, good and hard probably, and submitted it to the BP album.
In the end, who knows just how many pony tracks I will make? I just hang there and produce on.

Surprisingly or not, I do not current own any music hardware. However, I hope I'll be able to get good headphones, a midi controller, and even a microphone soon .

As for genres: as much as i like good dubstep, drum and bass, especially the liquid kind, is my favorite.
Other than that, I do not have anything against any other genre.

It's around 12am right now, and I am taking the SAT tomorrow, but no matter anyhow

[SeventhElement]

Welcome to MLR! Enjoy your stay and feel free to ask if you have any questions!

So many people new to producing 0.o

Hello everyone. I'm new. Obviously. I mean, I'm posting in an introduction thread, so you probably figured I was new. At this rate I'll end up saying I'm a brony and that I like music. Well, I just did. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

Anyway.

I've been writing music for a couple of years, though nothing pony-related until recently. I was reading through the Know Your Meme MLP entry and I saw a link to this site. And hooo boy, was I happy to see this. Not sure how I missed it for the past six months, actually.

Ultimately, I'm aiming to be a professional musician, with the touring and the music and the what-have-you. Right now, it's ponies for me, though. I sing and rap and stuff.

Anyway, I feel like I've indulged in this self-aggrandization long enough. I will see you around the forums. You know, the ones we're on right now.

Hello everypony.

I am new here, and to the whole business of making music.
However, I am a huge fan of brony music and I would love to get more into the music community, even if that means I don't make anything good.

I am not 100% sure what I mean by that, but I am sure it makes sense somewhere.

Welcome, Mush, and might I say that your avatar is epic.

[Mush]

She really wants to get out and explore these forums.

I have just been browsing for about 5 minutes and seen many names I recognise, yours included.

[colortwelve]

WHAT BLACK MAGIC FUCKERY IS THIS

[colortwelve]

If you want any of us to see it and give you some feedback, feel free to post it in the music thread and we'll give you our feedback on it.

Yes. Feedback is one of the most important functions of this forum. Utilize it.

>ColorTwelve
It might have something to do with me following your Soundcloud or something.

Anyways, I would like to go about making a thread in 'Music Related', but I don't know if I should post an individual track first, then a Discography... thing. Or go with the Discography first.

Halp?

Oh, you're StevenMagnet. I'm listening to all of your stuff now

Also, looking at how many tracks you have already, I'd go with a discography first, and make feedback posts with newer stuff that's not done yet.

[Mush]

Okay, thanks!

Soundcloud wouldn't let me have Mush... stupid sexy soundcloud.

[Facade]

hello mush and welcome!

[Mush]

Thanks for the hellos guys. I like it here already.

How have I not found this place before, Underpony had to link me here.
Big thanks to Underpony for that.

[Acsii]

Mush... you're DP /)^3^(\

[Mush]

[Obrum]

Hey guys, just joined, Obrum here. Aside from ponies and music, I love gaming. That's pretty much all there is to my life xD

So yeah, hi everypony!

[Mush]

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

Have fun here!

[Trillionage]

Welcome!

[Obrum]

Thanks guys!
Actually, now that I'm here I might have to get on with that "making pony songs" lark...
I was inspired to start making music after listening to pony fan songs, but haven't actually done any pony music yet.

[Jack]

Heyo, everyone! I'm Jack and I am very new to all of this music production stuff (only been toying with Ableton for about a month). I've come here to learn and possibly share some work when I eventually get down to creating something worthwhile!

Outside of toying with Ableton, I spend a lot of my time working, listening to music of all forms, gaming, and commuting to and from work.

[colortwelve]

Welcome, Jack, now go forth and learn. And then go forth and show us your musics

[SixofLasers]

EZ MLR, I'll do a proper intro over here I think :3

I'm SixofLasers, from Detroit (yep). I suppose we're all here cuz we like ponies and making tunes, yeah? :3 I've been lurking here for a good while... finally got brave enough to submit a track for Balloon Party. I can't even put into words how honored I am to be included in it, and I'm stoked to be a part of this community - there are so many great artists here, and the support and general level of awesomeness of everyone here is really cool!!
