LBT Song Project: Things Change

Dash The Longneck · **Reply #60 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:23:55 PM

Would you mind terribly if I joined up too? I'm looking forward to singing this song with you guys. If I'm not banned from this because of how bad I sounded in the last song.

Sure thing, welcome aboard!

Gee, seems like we have just as large of a singing group for this song as the last one. These songs are sure drawing a lot of attention lately!

Yeah, but I see that as a good thing. I mean think about it if less and less people joined you wouldn't really want to do the singing projects anymore but since they attract more interest/people singing that's a great thing that people are interested in the singing projects. That is actually on the long list of reasons I keep coming back here. I only sung one song and I'm hooked.

Seeing that you probably have someone who can take on the "challenging" part (which isn't so) I'll drop out. Like I said before, we've done all the ones I'm interested in so I'm not bothered by this. Sometimes too many participants can be a bad thing too.

Sounds good, Petrie. Thanks for your offered assistance. B)

If we get many more I may need to start holding auditions LOL!

GoF Idol anyone?

As long as we don't have someone like Simon Cowell on this forum who criticises our singing . That's actually a good idea.

On the left side, click on the "Official Songs" folder. You will see "Things Change" on the list on the right side. B)

Hmm well....
There is still no word on my computer. I have no idea when I'll be getting it back now. They were supposed to call me on Wednesday or Thursday. They are almost closed up for the day today (Friday) and I haven't heard a word. I will let you all know when I get my computer back, but it's still "To Be Announced" unfortunately. <_<

Manny Cav · **Reply #70 on:** August 13, 2007, 11:16:11 PM

If you still haven't gotten a word back on your computer, I'd call them/visit the office/whatever. This is not right. You should have heard something by now.

action9000 · **Reply #71 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:13:58 AM

Well here's some good news; I finally got my computer back today (monday). Everything worked out nicely (minus it taking longer than expected). It was all still under warranty so there was no charge and everything seems fully functional again.

The song project is back on; I will keep you posted on the status of the song. B)

Manny Cav · **Reply #72 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:38:13 AM

Ah, good to hear. I'm looking forward to this! B)

EDIT: Oh, by the way, seeing as it's almost (or, for some of you, already is) August 14th, could you change the estimated completion date for the background music from August 4 to something a little more realistic? Just a heads-up. :^.^:

action9000 · **Reply #73 on:** August 14, 2007, 12:53:00 AM

Good spotting; I'm on it. B)
EDIT: Fixed.

I am happy for you, that you have your computer back now action

Slow? Me?

Yeah, I'm slow.
I'm sorry for the wait, everyone. In theory I could have had it done by now; I've just been so exhausted lately. I've been *trying* to sleep at every opportunity but just haven't been able to. I don't know how well you folks are able to work on extracurricular projects when you're really tired but I know I sure can't!

I'm seriously thinking of quitting my night shift job and finding something with better hours. My body just can't handle this and I think I'm getting insomnia from the weird schedule...

Anyways, that's the best excuse I have. I probably could have fought through and got this done on time, but I didn't. I apologize for this. I will actually probably quit my job after my shift tonight and focus on finding a "real" job full-time. Nothing about life is pleasant when you're always tired. The few bucks I made doing this isn't worth it anymore.

I know it isn't the best excuse in the world. Since I will probably be quitting tonight I will hopefully be able to finish this song up in the near future. I won't give a date because it will depend on too many factors.

Please bear with me everyone, I will have the music ready as soon as possible.

It's taken almost a month to gain 30%. At this rate, we'll be done late October/early November. Well, so much for a August 17th background music completion date. -_-

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #77 on:** August 19, 2007, 12:37:32 AM

I'm just fine with the long delay. I wanna sing in my new house anyways and I'm not quite done moving yet. I should be done in 2 weeks though.

Yes, and two weeks of this I didn't have access to my computer nor my proejct file.

Grumbling, are we?
"Ideally. Subject to change."

I understand your point. Allow me to just point out a few things.

1) This is an unpaid project which trains me very little for "real" audio projects because everything is so makeshift and relatively unstructured. I also have music projects in the works that are for contests, soundtracks and whatnot (most of which don't have deadlines (one has a deadline in 3 months) but I see them as more valueable experience for me).

2)I am doing this 100% for fun. If it does not feel like fun to work on (do you want to work on anything when you're overly stressed or tired?), why would I add *more* stress to my life to work on it?

3) I understand people are waiting but I don't think it will kill anyone to not be able to record themselves sitting at their computer singing "Things Change" for awhile longer, whereas it would put considerable physical and mental pressure on me to reduce the wait times. I like to be generous but there are limits

I do have the option of cancelling this project completely. As stated above, this project isn't exactly a career-making move. Don't tempt me to ruin everyone's fun, please. It will be done when it's done. I'm quitting my job soon so I'll have more free time (for awhile anyway).

Manny Cav · **Reply #79 on:** August 19, 2007, 12:52:35 AM

Hey, no rush, man. I'm just saying the completion date might not be such a good idea if it's so erratic. It might give "false impressions", you know.
