I am creating this topic because I was thinking about setting up an unofficial audio contest for ArmorGames members. I would really like to get an idea of how many musicians frequent this site, and what the most popular genres are. If you are interested in participating in a music contest for a cash or merchandise reward, please post the following in this topic:
Instruments you can play. Whether your music is instrumental or digital. A 1-10 self evaluation of your skill level. Your most prominent genre(s).
If there are enough people interested, a contest thread will be set up with deadline information, rules, and prizes.
I haven't decided yet. It will depend on whether more people use software or real instruments. The whole point of the survey is so that I can decide these things, so if you're interested just fill it out
Cello/keyboard Instrumental (though keyboard automatically becomes sort of digital) 5/10 Ehm... I don't know.
But I don't have access to any instruments atm, and I have no way of recording it... This is a rather cool idea though, even if it does clutter up the amount of stickies...
I am still taking drum lessons so I can't say I know how to do that,but I was thinking of a competition similar to this,but it would be using a special sequencing program that people could download for free.
Instruments you can play - Trumpet Whether your music is instrumental or digital - well, its instrumental...i hate digital trumpets... A 1-10 self evaluation of your skill level - meh...i'd say 6.5/10 Your most prominent genre(s) - I'd say Jazz
although I cant really participate since my recording device (crappy factory omni mic) is good for nothing but fencing :P
although I do make digital music on Finale ... so if I can enter those, count me in
I play electric, and classical guitar. I play instrumental, but I have GuitarPro5 which is digital, but that connot be viewed unless you buy the software...Unless there is a way to digitally make guitar scores and such. I also can add drums although I don't know how to drum XP I like to consider myself at least an 8 on my musical talent on guitar, but that could be judged by someone else :P My genres of play are wide. I play some Boston, but then I can go to a bit more modern like Coheed and Cambria, and then shred some Bullet for my Valentine. So mostly rock/harder rock.
I play Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Spanish guitar, Double Bass, and Flamenco guitar. The only thing remotely digital about my music is that I use microphones and Audacity and GuitarPro5 to record. I think I'm probably a 9 on a scale of one to ten, but someone else should judge that. I play everywhere from classical and Spanish, to heavy metal, but I mainly like AC/DC like rock.
I play Electric, Jazz, Classical, Flamenco, and Soanish guitar. I also play Double Bass. I play instrumental, but I use digital equimptment to record myself. I'd say I'm probably a 9/10, but someone else should decide that. I play everywhere from classical to hard rock.
Instrument: Piano. This can be either digital or not. I also have a Creative Prodikeys lying around but never used it yet. Skill level: After two weeks of intensive reconditioning, 9.5. Everybody expected me to pursue a career as a concert pianist (I didn't want to). I'm licensed to teach (L.Mus), can do professional accompaniment, capable of learning any (physically possible) piece in the piano repertoire but my sight-reading isn't up to speed (i.e. if I were like, say, Richter, I'd call that a 10).
I also play french horn, but when I practice that for 2 weeks intensively I'd say I'm more a 6/10. Definitely not my first instrument.
Primary genre: Classical. Though I can write in pretty much any genre, and most frequently write rap (lol) and rock stuff. Besides I actually don't even use the keyboard to input. And I'm really just waiting on software before I start mastering my own music as well. I have tons of MIDI lying around just waiting...
Does singing count? I love to sing and to judge me i can post youtube videos of myself and put them on clubchills.wetpaint.com and you can judge me from that, i mean if singers are allowed. On account of this is a thread for musicians.
