Well well well! Seems that we have something in common!

Yay! I'm not alone!

[Andy Feelin]

Hi! I am Andy, I am from Moscow, Russia (Лёничу привет) and my real surname is unpronounceable so treat Feelin as my surname (it isn't real, though it's an ordinary Russian surname with more than 10 000 people having it), it also means an eagle owl in Russian and it has been my nickname since school.

Common facts
- I am 24
- I have a degree in electronics (IC design)
- I love travelling, especially hitch-hiking and CouchSurfing
- I love languages and linguistics, I know a thing about Slavic languages and I speak a little Serbian
- I am former railfan
- I am a brony since about 5th of May 2011
- My favourite ponies are Fluttershy, Derpy and Doctor Whoof, but all the ponies are adorable
- I enjoy horse riding as well and this was one of the reasons to watch MLP: FiM

Music-related:
- I listen to everything from pop to black metal, from hip-hop to electro-industrial
- I have no musical degree and that's a pity
- I have been trying to make electronic music since 2000
- I've composed several hundreds of tracks by 2004 and 95% of them are total crap
- I started to produce some good tracks in 2004
- I love 90's style Eurodance and this is my primary genre in electronic music. There are also influences by other genres: 80's disco, synthpop, trance, EBM, drum&bass, hip-hop and many others.
- I used to play guitar in several bands starting with gothic metal and currently it's punk and post-grunge band "Breaking The Glass" (no good demos for the moment)
- I use FL Studio (and Rebirth RB-338 for acid sequences)
- I have a cheap CASIO synth and a vintage Soviet synth ALISA of 1981. I have a Latvian ELSITA 1990 electronic drumset, a SIMMONS analog.

nice to meet you* guys, its cool people keep coming to join this forums

[Diss Order]

Hey, I'm Wessel, on YouTube known (but probably unknown) as DJDissOrder, or Diss Order.

Even in my still short life, I've got a long history with Dance music. First only Trance, Club, regular Dance and sometimes the occasional Big Beat or d&b. Later on more harder/rougher genres like Hardstyle, Hardcore and more recently Dubstep. The year 2011 for me has already beaten my personal 'most raves visited' record and I'm getting more and more involved in music scenes. In real life I play 5 instruments in an orchestra and a few months ago I figured I really wanted to get the hang of producing electronic music as well, rather than just arranging sheet music.

Even though I aspire a career in illustration or even animation (currently working on a portfolio with which I can apply to HKU - Netherlands), I would really love to get more involved with music as well, as a hobby. I recently started a new YouTube account which currently holds 2 WIP's (no finished stuff yet). I started working with FL Studio about 2 months ago and when I started getting the hang of it I had to focus on school if I wanted to make it through another year, but now I got the time and the will to get producing.

Here's the YT account: http://www.youtube.com/user/DJDissOrder

Now I'm off to bed because it's 2:30 am over here, but I really plan on browsing and participating to this forum tomorrow. I wish I knew of this place sooner!

Good night and greetings from the Netherlands!

[Kumquaticus]

Welcome, man!

[Aussie]

Lots of words!

It's great to have another EDM brony on here, welcome, dude!

[TheSunAndTheRainfall]

Oh wow, I just realized I never introduced myself.

Okay, I'm Don, I'm 19, I'm and currently studying telecommunications and electronic engineering in Mexico City. I aspire to someday become some kind of sound engineer or producer.

I have no formal education in music (although I'm trying to at least learn some of the basics online), so most of what I know I know from experimenting on whatever. I sort of play the guitar, and I like to play around on FL Studio, although I've been considering switching over to Ableton or Cubase.


Other random stuff:

- I'm a brony since 23rd of March.
- Applejack and Rainbow Dash are my favourite ponies.
- Languages fascinate me, I taught myself a little Swedish a while back, and I'm hoping to recover some of the French I used to know soon.
- I love photography and like to just get lost and take pictures of anything that crosses my way.
- I'm a pretty mellow dude.

Also, if anyone has a last.fm account and wishes to add me, here's the link to mine: http://www.lastfm.es/user/BoysSayGo


Can't wait to hang out some more with you guys. You're pretty cool. C:

- Languages fascinate me, I taught myself a little Swedish a while back, and I'm hoping to recover some of the French I used to know soon.

I may be able to help for the recovery of your French knowledges since I am French myself .

[PinkiePieSwear]

Hah! More people who use FL Studio!

Take that, subspace!

[Diss Order]

I'm considering switching to Cubase as well after I finish Love Me (Flutterrave Mix) and my mix of Luna. But I won't deny that FL Studio is a very decent piece of software.

[Circuitfry]

FL Studio is like the Game Maker of music.

edit: ugh don't say "</trollface>" 19 year old version of me why are you embarrassing

[Lethaargic]

Hey good to meet you all, I'm Double Vision.

I've been a fan of Dub, Ambient, and especially Psytrance for a few years now and being a part of this community and listening to the remix war submissions inspired me to start actually producing. Most of the stuff I'd like to do will be original productions pony and non-pony, but I'll try my hand at mixing something for round IV.

There's scarcely and trance pony mixes out there and no psytrance stuff at all?! Guess i'm not super surprised, but if anypony here likes twisted and brutal darkpsy PM me so I know there's more than one of me.

[Omnipony]

Hallo Thar :3

I'm Omnipony, also known as FurryNG, the creator of the song Fluttershine Which got featured on EQ.

PinkiePieSwear gave me an invitation to join :3

I'm 14, I use Ableton Live, and I have a small arrangement of VSTs.

[PinkiePieSwear]

Welcome to the forum, Omnipony! Glad to have you aboard!

Fluttershine was SO AWESOME!!

[Omnipony]

Excited to be here PinkiePieSwear :3

[Diss Order]

Just listened to your production... Damn, are you sure you're only 14?

Big welcome and big kudos for that track, it's on my iPod now and there to stay!

[Omnipony]

Thanks! I need more ideas though.. Hmm, where to get inspiration.. Back to watching ponies.

[Aussie]

Now I'm not the only 14 year old Ableton Live user. ;(

And holy shit Fluttershine is awesome.

EDIT: AND HPGTBGJTGJURTGJU HOLY FUCK FOREVER ASLEEP OH MY GOD DHFBFGHHRHHRTHG

EDIT EDIT: And now I wanna remix Forever Asleep.

[X-Trav]

Hey there everypony!

Usually within the confines of the interwebs I go by the name Sonicmstr, but I am aspiring to someday have music as a career later in life, so I will by using my DJ name "X-trav".

Currently I use FL-Studio and Ableton, mostly just to fool around, my serious musical energy all go to my piano, but i'm changing that. I hope mainly to grow as a musician here, and have fun involving MLP: FiM. (With bronies though, the latter will be the easiest.) I respect all forms of music but my favorite is Classical.

Anyway i'd just like to say hi, and I hope to have a good time here.

P.S. "Trixie's Good Side", and "Pony Swag" are awesome.

[Dr_Dissonance]

X-Trav!

Greetings! Always nice to meet another classical appreciator! I hope you enjoy your time here!

[Pickslide1992]

Hey guys, what's up? My name is James, but I often go as Pickslide in the Brony community. As my name implies, I am a hard rock/metal player. I even look the part (Long hair FTW). My main instruments are guitar and bass, some synths.

I've actually had some of my work featured on Equestria Daily (The Staremaster and coming soon, Derpin' Around), though I suspect some of you have had some on there as well.

I'd like to personally thank Cluttertrot for introducing me to this site and I hope to meet some like minded bronies to talk guitars with and such.

[Prison]

Hey, there, Bronies. I'm Prison: the deep-ass voice of Celestia Radio, the deep-ass voice of The Marshmallow, and the deep-ass voice of The Brony Show. I'm the twisted son of a gun who made "Cupcakes" and "TROT".

How's it going?

[SeanNH94]

Sup bronies? I'm Sean, and I like pretty much all genres of music. I make techno, and play guitar/keys and can sing. Never really remixed before ponies, but I've been making techno/electronic/chiptune music for about 2 years.
So... How's it going?

[Interrobang Pie]
