Percentages?

by ThomasCovenant in

i admit i'm confused with percentages.. what is 7 million (witnesses) as a percentage of 7 billion (rest of the world)?.

1,000,000 as a percentage of 1,000,000,000 = 0.001.. 7,000,000 as a percentage of 7,000,000,000 = 0.001 .

is that one tenth of one per cent?.

i'm reposting this in a fresh new post because I know people don't always look back lol. I had to go to sleep to be ready for work.

Shelb-a-'runey'! (just kidding! I hope you get the 'nick-swagger-name' pun thing i just did ...)

I didn't get upset by any means .... I will be honest, I was a little jealous though about her success and I had no clue you actually knew anyone. i feel kinda bad because I think a little bit ago i leaked a lil of my fruistrations known to you in an email or PM and I was like 'know anyone inthe music industry?' ...and it was just ashot in the dark. I didn't think you did and I didn't get a response to that, which i undersatnd now cause you've been busy. And I hope by putting up my fruistration on this website isn't taken as a response to that email. (i honestly didn't think you did) But anyway. Your proud parent moment is not unwelcomed.(...you...SHALL BURN IN HELL FOR IT!!!! j/k) It's fine. Take away the thread if needed. I'm kinda feeling better now.

To Everyone:

One of my biggest problems I ended up dealing with is that I made a song, put together a song, and i'm not happy with it, even though 9 out of 10 people like it, (this is where my 'Voices your being too hard on yourself' is a GOOD thing) and everyone keeps trying to get me to do more, but my apple G5 computer's motherboard broke down.....and I don't have any resources to create music. So I feel LIMITED now and became fruistrated with everything. I had been posting on craigs list about meeting up with a band, trying out with various vocal groups. I even hired my girlfriend to do 'management' stuff, which...she stopped doing after the first day. So I was Trying to find people that would assist launching me...etc.. and people see my potential and I got frustrated. So I have a 'demo' available that I'm trying to get PICKED UP, and people to see HEY....this kid....has something. But....people just don't want to give it a chance.

but instead we have people like Paris Hilton making music, and that SHIT for brain crap that comes out of all these artists. ('big time rush' etc..) And i'm trying to fix my apple to get back on making MORE music. And trying to PROMOTE myself, and trying to GET my foot into the recording studio so I HAVE the resources to make music agian with others.More hardware, more professional support and help.

I've tried youtube.... it's fruistrating because i'm not getting any hits....and my friend puts up this LAME video of someone getting kicked int he balls or something, and POW! 25,000 views. ...me? 209 views. i'm trying to get assistance and i got fruistrated.

I am able to take TONS of samples and cut and mix and splice, and dice and bam! ......song. i'm not PERFECT, hence i said i know i have it, just someone to guide it. Like I said, the local scene here, feels dead. I've been on craigslist etc.. trying to get with other bands/groups/people/producers and had no luck. I have the ear and heart, not so much fingers. Give me ALL the samples in the world.....the shittiest, and i'll splice, dice, mix, master, and you'll have a hit.

I wrote this to someone and i'll say it here:

I would like to say PLEASE listen to this song with headphones. I spent a lot of time with panning and automation.

Secondly, this is NOT a song i'm happy with. I feel like the intro is too boring and stale. It's redundant and I felt like it needed to be this way due to redundancy I hear with techno electronic songs because it was originally a birthday present for my girlfriend who lives with me, that DOES like techno music. I'm very proud of the chorus and the number of samples used to cut and chop and mix in the middle section, with the reprise ending. Again my motherboard crashed and i wasn't able to finish the end or edit now to make the intro different..less boring. There's a sample missing in the end. Thats why there's a 'this needs to be shorter' feeling at the end. I don't know if there's anything you feel you can do, but if this is how my music sounds when it's the type of music that i DON'T want to make, imagine what i can do when it IS the type I want to make, with the right people. The extended stuff, I feel my girlfriend put me in a box of 'this should be drawn out like this, and it's not long enough, and etc...' which I feel created some thngs I'm not proud of here. I also have a very SHORTER version of this song. [I would like to add, if you don't use headphones, you wont see the automation/panning, which is really important to this particular song]

That is a picture of me, which is a very good approach, if given the publicity with black trench coat etc.. I've already been told by all the high school girls etc.. that's a 'kick ass idea.' .....again potential in the imagine.

I FINALLY got a descent microphone, studio quality, and when I FIRST started my session to work with lyrics.........my motherboard crashed. I want to add: this was a birthday present to my girlfriend originally. I want it to be clear that THIS IS NOT WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC I WANT TO MAKE. But this is the closest 'finish' or 'close to finish' project i have. But if like I said....if this is how good I can make stuff that I DON'T like...imagine what i can do with things I DO like.Sounds that I DO want to make and work with someone on.

ProdigalSon.....You are SO right. I know that if i got my 'foot in the door'....i would NEVER have to whipe any patient's ass or give a catheter or anything else involved in my nursing career.

Talesin:

I am definately producing (I think, from what I read), trying to perform and I do write (piano), but not on sheet music, but naturally that if I had the opportunity would magnify into a huge career if guided and/or given the opportunity to show my producing level. Again, I have a lot of potential but I feel as though people arn't willing to give the time of day. I have had opera training and screaming training roughly year and half and have a VERY loud and powerful voice that needs a little guidance.

My voice is extremely loud that even my girlfriend and friends are affraid I might shatter glass. I'm MIDI certified and have worked with a lot of different interfaces....Logic, Protools, Reason, Digital Performer, Cubase, and film with some final cut. I work with samples as well and have gotten discouraged by the lack of interest by people not noticing me. Modernbeats gave me a Review (personal good constructive critism) that normally people wouldn't get. Most of the time they either get accepted or rejection auto 'letters.' My review was personal and not typed up by some computer program. The individual stated that I needed to fix some balancing in mixing and made some recommendations and that was it. I feel limited wiht my equipment now and feel I would be able to get the next hit, if guided correctly. And I feel honored that I actually got a personalized letter, which furthered my support for the idea that I have 'it.' And this is it, the ONE thing I know I LOVE and enjoy and have talent for is MUSIC.

I have extremely LOW self-esteem, and to be able to say that i'm actually GOOD at something is saying something about what i'm capable of doing. Music is ONE thing, I can honestly and confidently say 'I got it..i just need someone to take me under their wing and work with me.' Ask ANYONE that knows me......some even on this board, how BAD my self esteem is, and ask them how 'HARD' I am on myself...and then for me to say THIS positive thing? believe you me...I have 'it.'

I have a composition of samples I chopped, mixed, balanced, automated, panned, worked on, and put together as a song that I can forward. I just need someone to see the talent, particularly with the CHORUS. I have ideas of my costume, the image, the music video. I can also make videos using Final cut and put them together.

Let me know if you want the song

I'm so upset! i've been trying to get my music out and heard and it seems that NO ONE is willing to give it a chance. It takes a good second to get the music going. The chorus is great and there is GREAT potential to my abilities and NO ONE is listening. I've tried craigslist, modernmusic etc.. and i'm getting to the point where i'm fruistrated and ready to fuck it all. Everyone wants the next F#@$ing Kurt cobrain, Deadmau5, or whatever but no one is freaking patient enough to even give listen to a song. I knew about System of a down before they got famous and said 'they're going to make it' .....i knew about hollywood undead before they got famous and knew 'they'll make it'....before their album even came out! i have this GREAT ability to be able to recognize talent and NO ONE's gives a SHIT! .....I can listen to a song and say 'THIS needs this, and this, and that to make it better' but NO ONE'S LISTENING! i'm not even sure what the hell they CALL this ability. Talent scout? producer? Composer? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR And the song i made was with a style of music I DIDN 'T WANT TO WORK WITH and it STILL came out good! 9 out of 10 people LIKE IT!.......... .bitches
