The Five Most Common Problems With AP Musicby Suspended-3rd-Chord
I've been on the AP for about 10 months now, and I spend the majority of the time here listening to music and sometimes writing reviews. When pointing out and explaining potential flaws that I see in a track, I notice there is a common trend to what I (and possibly others) would change...

How to get started writing music with free software by Rig
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to have fancy-schmancy equipment to create cool loops (purists, please stop reading now). This tutorial will show you how you can create all the loops you'll ever want using only your computer. It doesn't even have to be a top-of-the-line computer, as long as it has Windows (which 99% of computers are running...don't quote me on that) and some speakers!

You need to add your list list on this list.

Oh and add mine, it's a list of lists that list other lists... (unless you're only looking for useful lists...)

=P

Lol, the list list list. Sure, why not.

nice :)

Thanks! Do you know of any more lists?

If you switch me and Navij, it'll be in alphabetical order by author :O

Zomgz! Alert the internet!

Yes, do it. I want alphabetical order. . .

OCD ATTACK YARRRGHTHAGHSJDLGKSHSLKG

I'd rather have it in order of helpfulness.
LOL

Just thought I'd check out your page. Awesome! electroacoustics eh? I will google it, and come back with an appropriate responser, and pretend I know what I am talking about!

Sweet! Wikipedia has a good definition, check it out.

HEY rig how a bout your audio vs my audio at sound and the way we make audio.

Like I've said before...actually write a song from scratch. Then we'll talk.

Why isn't this list on the list?

Because that would rip a hole in the space/time continuum.

Link this list; <a href="http://rigaudio.newgrounds.com/news/post/51644">http://rigaudio.newgrounds.com/news/p ost/51644</a>

But a wormhole will be created and evil beings from another dimension will emerge and take over TEH INTARNATS!!!11!!

lol SBB, I know, he very conveniently overlooked that in my comment also...

Oh, and you're missing the newgrounds musician front page list, I thought I should start that in blog form, hope rucklo doesn't ban me from taking that list away from him...
And it is slightly more useful than my previous list.

And there kind of is a sort of half-wormhole created between your list list and my list list list, the links go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Keep hunting for moar lists!

Nice, I'll add it! It IS more useful :)

FINE IL ADD MY LIsT BUT DONRT BALME ME WEN DA INTAERNATS ARE TEH DEESTIORD >:U

I am thinking of making a list of Big Posts that are NOT list or were posted by the NG Staff and that aren't SPAM

I will give you a link when I do that (most likely when I finish Uploading "Animal Xing")

Sweet! Lemme know when it's done.

RULE 10 IS NOT PART OF 4CHAN'S RULES OF THE INTERNET SHIT goddamnits

You tell 'em! >:C

hello! is no one hearing me?

Alright, this isn't cute anymore.
BANT

In my review for your Muffin song, I forgot to say that it was very funny. ;-)

Lol, thanks! :D

Fucked Up and Weird audio
<a href="http://androu1.newgrounds.com/news/post/54631">http://androu1.newgrounds.com/news/po st/54631</a>

Fuck you, SBB.

:D

OMG!! You're just Rig now!! OMG WTF BBQ?

How'd ya do it?

I asked Tom in the PM I sent him with my mailing info for the MAC prizes. Yay!

teh links to ur profile dosnt work no therfor u r GAY

I R CHANGING THEM

Yep, SBB's right - for example, the Audio Artist Programs list takes you to <a href="http://rigaudio.newgrounds.com/news/post/40661">http://rigaudio.newgrounds.com/news/p ost/40661</a>. But your username's Rig now... ;)

I'll change it, I'll change it! I didn't realize this whole thing would happen when I got it switched...

Short-sightedness sucks.

Muahaha I've created another useful audio blog thing you can link to.
