End of 2008 Update!

The main reason I'm making this post is because of my upcoming vacation - it turns out I'm NOT bringing my FL laptop with me on my giant vacation - so I won't be making any progress on anything from Friday the 19th until after the new year, when I've come back. :( I'll probably be cramming as much of a full song as I can on Wednesday and Thursday, and if I'm lucky, I'll have something postable by Friday morning before I leave - but don't count on it!

Karco's Picks of December and Picks of 2008 will go up the first Tuesday of the new year - I'll be back in time for sure. :) It may be postponed a day or two, as I'm traveling quite a long distance and may be too exhausted/jetlagged to spend too much time searching NG for quality tracks.

Because I'll be on vacation, internet presence will be quite reduced, expect MUCH slower review/comment/PM replies, and rare logins to MSN or AIM. I'll probably find time to do both at least once or twice though. This is my last news post I'll be making before I leave - so, bye! :P

And of course, Glow is still available for download, just visit the previous news post. :)

Any questions?

Were in the same boat when it comes to whistle, good to see I'm not the only one. Haha, great music by the way! Keep it up!

Karco 2008-12-17 14:24:30

I got it to Silver once, then it went straight back to Garbage overnight and I gave up. :(

Hey, I have listened to a few of your songs.
I'm a begginer when it comes to making music.
The software you use is called Glow right?

Karco 2008-12-18 12:10:45

Next comment. :)

loverdude1 2008-12-18 12:12:00

Lol nevermind. I just noticed "Glow" is one of your tracks.

Listen. What good software do yo recommend for a begginer?

Karco 2008-12-18 12:12:00

I personally started out with FL Studio, and haven't changed since - the tricky thing about that one is that beginners can't really use the sounds that come with it without sounding extremely amateur - which I guess they are, but that's a bad thing regardless. :D It's a good choice but you'll need to find some extra sounds to use that don't come with it. You can always use the demo to see if it's what you want, but it's fairly restricted compared to Producer Edition, which is what I use.

If you don't think FL is for you, there are tons of other options. Try looking up Reason, Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper (this one's pretty much free), or any others you can find by asking around. Hope that helps. :)

Karco 2008-12-22 16:54:36

Have a good vacation-- see you in '09. :)

Karco 2008-12-24 21:38:09

Thanks! Though I'm still finding the chance to get onto the internet now and then. :D Happy new year!

Mydnite 2008-12-27 09:56:52

wow after seeing your long and detailed reviews for other Ng artist im afraid to comment on your songs haha but by which i think are totally impressive~!
Hope u have a relaxing vacation~!

Karco 2008-12-27 09:56:52

Thanks! Don't worry about it, any review that's more than a one-liner counts for something to me. :)

Hey, I hope you had a good vacation!
If you have the time, and feel like it, would you like to review my 'Angel's lover' ?
I think it's my first track that's worth reviewing by you.
Thanks in advance! And if you're not willing to review, that's fine too, but please tell me then :p

Karco 2009-01-03 11:11:52

Sadly I don't just review tracks on request anymore. I personally choose the tracks I review on NG, though generally I'm more open to criticising whatever's thrown at me through chat. :) Next time you see me on MSN, send me a message and we'll see what I can do for you.

Mich 2009-01-08 15:43:21

If you ever get on msn that is :p
Well I don't really need a NG review, some tips ar anything over msn would be nice too :)
I'll try to be alert and see of you ever get on msn :p

Karco 2009-01-08 15:43:21

Ha, way to comment on an outdated news post. :D
