I'm not going to argue with you roshambo because there's no point.
You're right, because on both grading merits, your music sucks ass. It might appeal to some eccentric earthworms or be used for greenhouse music, but aside from that, it's not listenable.
you're better at insulting people than me.
Please point out where I insulted you. That's right, I didn't. I gave you a critique upon your music, quite honestly. That's all I did. If you do want me to be insulting, then please continue acting like a little kid whose parents smiled at every inane thing you did and obviously someone pampered your ass to the point where you have no grasp of reality.
suffice to say, i disagree with a lot of what you say.
So you think you're talented. That's fine, but I'm sorry to say that you're in a gross minority. This is speaking as someone from both classic and colloquial expressions in music. There's one important point. If you're not going to play technical, you've got to play emotional; play to the audience. If you can't do that, then don't be a sulking little child when people cringe at it and kill WinAmp.
you can cloak your motives with big words and with your fanboys, but ultimately i think what you and others are doing is very childish.
Motives? Kid, I'm being honest here and giving a critique from someone who could have gone into music as a professional career instead of playing it as a hobby. I also have a good idea of composition. It is between the two that I point out why people don't like your music. Quit your whining and don't quit your day job.
You pretend to be impartial and want to give the impression that you take the intellectual high ground, but you don't,
Pardon me? I was being as technical as I could be. I was also explaining how you'd be chewed up and spat out in front of real musicians, people who have spent too many years in/listening to music to stand a cat taking a shit on the ivories.
and I don't know what your real problem is, but I think ultimately it hurts you and not just other people.
How is your lack of talent my problem? To be honest, I think you'd need at bare minimum two years of professional study before I would consider listening to your "work" again.
still its your problem, not mine.
You're starting to remind me of that girl on American Idol 3 that got "Tell me that wasn't serious." when she stepped off the stage, told to her by one of the judges. She then bitched because everyone else got fame for choreography and synthesizers, etc. and to give her a chance. All that sort of thing. Here's an amusing bit about it I found on someone's Blog:
Also earning a place in the Idol Hall of Shame was last night's Fame-Dancing girl, who ripped off her pants to reveal spandex, and then proceeded to give the worst rendition of a Dancing Famer that I've ever had to see. Then, she cried about how she lost 80 pounds to get there, and stormed out screaming about how this was all a big mistake. Luckily, her friend was there to greet her, tell her she was the best singer in the world, and put a hand in the cameras. Look out, America. Someday she's going to make someone, including herself, a lot of money. Perhaps as the spokesmodel for a new reality series, Things Not to Do on American Idol: The Real Stories of People Without Talent.

here. Notice the discussion involving voice instructors that just say nice things or are not honest. Or how some are so infatuated with themselves that they can't accept criticism and blow it off.
It was very amusing to hear the feed from the Frank Show and how they went off on her poor deluded ass.
Oh, wait.
It was nothing but a set-up by a radio show. Check out the videos, they are very funny.
The sad thing is, that was a prank. You're for real, it appears.
now someone please close this thread, i hate having to defend myself against people like this.
I hate having to hold some coddled kid's hand when the parents obviously couldn't prep them for reality. Sniveling is just blood in the water to me.

and Rosh... i must tell you that you have guts to confess your "clarinet skills" to everyone here.
Not really. When in an ensemble of whatever sort, if it's in a place where you can play emotionally, like in a bar or jazz club, you can often play to single women there and often catch their attention very easily. Between floor tips and personal tips to the entertainment, I often pulled in $100-200 on a good night, aside from what the place paid us, and just from tips alone I could take them to a hotel for the evening.
I just learned classically to get good at the technical aspects. I then took that and added a bit of spirit to it, simple enough, but it takes a lot of practice. It's also something that may account for my high WPM, because I'm used to moving my keys at 1/16 notes or faster.
