It Must Be Christmastime Stats. 11 out of 11 solos TAKEN. 8 out of 8 quartets TAKEN. Chorus CLOSED. Notes; ★ I don't have the instrumental yet, so sing with the song for now and I'll start mixing when I can. Slaughter. ;__; ★ Since this is a Christmas song, if you want to change your chorus picture, do so as soon as you post/reserve your lines. ★ Your lines are due BEFORE the listed date. BEFORE the 25th. I know that sign ups usually go quick, but please. If you have to drop out, drop out TWO DAYS prior at the latest. This is a new requirement. I'm tired of late minute drop outs. Please help me out by giving me enough time to work with your dropping out, if you must do so. What is this? It's just a collaboration type musical thingy with KHV members. Anyone can join. ANYONE. All you have to do is post the lines you want, record them, and send them to me on time. If you weren't in the previous choruses, I need you to find a picture for me to edit for you. High quality anime pictures can be found here: http://www.zerochan.net It doesn't have to be anime, it can be anything. It just has to be HIGH quality, and LARGE enough for me to work with. Not giant. But a nice size. Bigger than our avatars. I need a picture for future ones. Once you turn in a suitable picture, you'll never have to again unless you want to for future chorus stuff. So yeah, if you want to find another picture for me even if I have one, let me know. Otherwiseeee, for anyone who -hasn't- given me a picture yet at all, please do so. There are no auditions, no microphone restrictions. It doesn't matter if you think you're an amazing singer, or if your mic is fuzzy, all I ask if that you have fun with it and turn your parts in! The Song? Spoiler: Original Song [video=youtube;8_jr5Nf71sk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8_jr5Nf71sk#![/video] The first song in this, lolol. Spoiler: Instrumental http://www.box.com/s/5unzqtkcrxbuoc4lod5d How to Record. For those of you who aren't sure how to go about recording yourself singing it, there are several different programs you can use. Audacity is a free program. I use Reaper, which is also free for evaluation. What I'd like to ask if that you sing along with the instrumental/main track for timing, but your finished track not have the instrumental. For example, if you make two different tracks in a program, and record yourself singing on one track and have the instrumental on another track or playing on youtube or something while you sing your part, when you send it to me I would like to just hear your voice and not the instrumental. It is MUCH better for you to be too quiet than too loud. If you're quiet, I can turn your volume up. If you're too loud and your mic peaks, I have to turn your volume way dowwwn. You can sing along with the instrumental, and it's okay if the instrumental/main song is heard faintly in your recording, so long as it doesn't overpower you. For those of you who decide to use Reaper, I can show you a detailed tutorial on how to do it. Here's an Audacity tutorial written by P for Mulan, but whatever; Spoiler How to Use Audacity Getting the Stuff Go here and download the version for your computer. (Use the 1.3 series.) Install it in the manner appropriate for your OS. Go here to download and save the Mulan instrumental to somewhere on your computer. (Or whatever instrumental you may be using.) Opening the Instrumental Open Audacity. You'll should see this. Open the Mulan instrumental with Audacity. In a Mac, it's File>Open. Navigate to where you saved the Mulan instrumental, and open it. You should now see this. There are two tracks, for the two stereo tracks. Recording Open the Audacity preferences and look under the 'Recording' tab for the Overdub option. Make sure it is ticked, so you can hear the instrumental as you record. Mine looks like this, but yours may be slightly different. Press the red button up top. A new track will begin to record, as can be seen here Listen through the instrumental until you get to the part with the lines you need to sing, at which point, sing them. When the song is finished, press the yellow, square stop button. You should end up with something like this. Fixing Errors Of course, you'll probably screw up somewhere. That's why you can do it multiple times. Click mute on the mistake'd track, as in here. Next, click before the area where you made a mistake and press the record button. You can now sing the part again. When you're done, press the stop button. You'll end up with this. You can do this procedure as many times as needed, until all lines are correct on at least one track. Editing Now we have to delete everything except the lines you're gonna use. (You can now unmute any muted tracks.) We want to use the Split Delete tool. You do this by selecting the unwanted lines, as in here, and using Split Delete on it. On a Mac, the shortcut for it is Option+Command+K, but on a PC, at a guess, it would be Alt+Control+K. It will yield this result. Continue doing this until you've only got your lines left. Mine looks like this. Now we remove the instrumental track too, by pressing the X on the top-left of those two tracks. We're left with this. Sending to Jayn Now the hard work is done, we just need to export it. Go File>Export, and choose where to save the file. Make sure it is in WAV format. It'll look somewhat like this. Ignore this metadata thing that pops up. Just hit 'OK'. Likewise, hit OK on the Mono Channel warning. You're done! Now go and upload your file to some filehost, or email it to Jayn. Rules? Have fun! Send your lines to klairecross@gmail.com in MP3 or WAV format OR provide a download link for me in this thread, PM or VM. You may have FOUR parts (FOUR lines), and a maximum of FOUR people can sing one part together--EXCEPT for the lines in [brackets]. Those are solos, so only one person can claim those. This rule may be changed depending on how many people are interested. These Kawaii Desu things here --> { ♥ } <-- are for duets. Only TWO people can claim those. The lines in black should be recorded by everyone. First come first serve for lines, but the deadline is December 25th. That means turn in your lines BY then. The video goes up on that date. Once a line is striked out, it means it's not available anymore. Please RESERVE your lines before you record. You can post here with what lines (FOUR max, but not three solo parts) you want. I will update the thread with who's singing what part, and what lines are all reserved out. When you send your lines to me, you can either have your lines timed to the instrumental in ONE long file !TIMED TO THE INSTRUMENTAL!, or you can record all of your lines separately and send them to me that way in a ZIP or RAR file. Once again...TIME your vocals. Sing to the TIMING of the song. Sing to the song. Remember that I don't actually want to hear the song behind your vocals. If you sing along, wear headphones so your mic doesn't pick it up OR have the song really low while you record. If I hear it, the audience will too and that makes it sound bad. Please help fill out the song. If you have the time, please pick four parts. REMEMBER to record the BLACK LINES. Otherwise, when the chorus sings together, your voice will not be included. Anyone can sing the black lines, but I'm less likely to fit you into the video if the only thing you sang were the black lines. (When it's much harder to fit everyone in to begin with.) Lyrics/Parts: Black Lines = EVERYONE records that part. { ♥ } = Duets. TWO people can claim that part online. [ ... ] = Solos. ONE person can claim that. Only ONE solo per singer. This MAY change depending on how many people join.

Added, Anti-Sora and Enzy. It's alright!~ I'm willing to give the more complicated ones a shot. Just keep in mind my art-style. Regardless of how serious the scenario, it might (lol probably will) still come out looking cutesy in some way.
It's alright. Everything is DONE. Currently rendering and working on the next thread. It'll be up tonight (or tomorrow if it really takes this long). It's taking a longer time than usual because of Christmas effects and junk. :C Either way, I'm going to close this now. Thank you to everyone who contributed. The video is on the way. ~
Should I wait for the PM, or should I just reply? xD
Will update the list shortly, I'm about to go back to work on finishing this. Also, I edited my post. xD
Haven't updated the first post yet, but I'm going to post the next song sign up soon while I finish last minute All I Want for Christmas is You stuff. I...really don't want to sing Auld Lang Syne until New Years (because it's not a Christmasy song and would come out on Christmas, so any of the other actual Christmas songs wouldn't be done at all. I hope that's fair.). So I think we should do Deck'd. Which means I need the instrumental, Slaughter. That would make our schedule like this; 18th - 25th; Must Be Christmastime. 25th - Jan. 1st; Auld Lang Syne. 1st - 11th; Some non-Christmas song. (Don't Stop Believin') > Voting/break ensues. Also, I'm a big fan of democracy so I enjoy letting the poll determine what we do. However, as with anything, it becomes a popularity contest and a 'which song do I actually know?' sort of thing, and the minority is forced to wait. I'm not going to abolish the voting system, but here's how it'll work...We vote. First choice is sung, second choice is sung (like usual), and then I'll give all songs in Pending a number and a generator will chose a random third song from the list. We do all of those, > Voting/break ensues. This way some of the less popular choices don't have to keep recycling through the poll, and those who want to do less well-known songs have a higher chance of that happening. I also thing one of these days we should just randomly do Happy Birthday together so we can send our chorus version to people on KHV, lololol.
Got all three. Can't update the OP right now, but I have them everyones. Thanks.
Can't back down, can't slack now, the world needs me to attack now, Yet I'm forced to pay out the ass for these bombs in Castle Town. Just give me some heart containers and let me spit on my ocarina, So I can kick that dumbass Ganon all the way to Argentina.
Okay. Lines I don't have; Ryan and NemesisPrime. I had to manually convert Mish's. It's still the 17th for me, so that gives you guys two hours. I don't know if I'll be awake for two hours. If I stay up, I'll post then and that's that. If I end up crashing somehow, if I don't have it when I wake up my time, it won't be included. As for the video, I'm working on it now. All photoshops and effects are finished. Just need to place and pan/crop the items. While it's rendering tomorrow, I'll put the next thread up...whichever thread that'll be, now that I think about it. >: Ehhh.
Maka/Fuzzy, Tale Wind is waiting.
@Noroz; Why do you think some people may assume you're conceited (what might you do to seem so), and why do you believe you do some of the things you do to come off that way? Note; I personally don't have any opinion on the matter, I just see it brought up. xD
;___; That's beautiful. Time to sig-quote for a bit.

Updated my post before I read yours. I apologize for the tone. Lack of color/formatting means I've just woken up and am on my iPod. So it was half-asleepness and trying to be swift since typing on my iPod is annoying for me, not intentional rudeness. Actually I'm still half asleep. xD I think you understand what I was trying to say altogether. I just meant that me personally, (not anyone else, I don't know about everyone else) was waiting for the professor (or for something to happen before then) before posting again and that I will likely post more frequently when I feel I can come up with something creatively less generic than idle chatter. I didn't mean the role play is boring or that you're at fault, I just meant that since you're kind of like the leader in my eyes at least, I believe your plot contribution will inspire more of an interesting response. Edit...Again, sorry; I notice it with my own role plays, which annoys me. I always feel like I have to carry the role play or it won't go anywhere because people can't seem to find something to post without my guidance, despite my desire for equal contribution and fluid posting, whether it's lead by me or not. But I think that's what most people are comfortable with...It's not until now that I've realized I'm doing it too. I'll post soon.
I personally feel that if you want something interesting to happen, you as the GM have to set up an interesting scenario to play. I do not want to engage in idle/generic conversation with another character that will ultimately end in awkwardness because the role-players are waiting for the scenario to shift to something with more variables. Personally I'm saving any massive creativity for when we're out of the classroom. There's not much to be done here but talk or listen depending on what the professor does when he's introduced. I'd be happy to contribute more if I felt there was more to contribute to this situation, without leaving the classroom or being disruptive. That, and I've just been swamped in general so lately I've gotten into the habit of posting when necessary or extremely interested (not since like 2009...maybe) rather than posting to post. ;__; /opinion
No, sorry. We need as much time as possible to fit another Christmas song into the month before Christmas, so I can't extend the deadline at all and I have to have everything from everyone by tomorrow so that I can get the video uploaded early on the 18th and put up the next song. I'm pretty sure your ahead of me, Ryan. (Time zone) So that should be fine. Good luck. No one claim Wigglz lines until I open them again and say it's alright. I'd rather us ration it out, so if people get extra lines, don't take all of the ones that are re-opened. Save some. :C
Can you convert your file to WAV or MP3 please?
Wow. Sorry for the wait, guys! I didn't see these requests until now. ;__; Working on them! @Midnight Star; Here you go. :) Thank you for your patience.

@Noroz; Spoiler @Spaze; Spoiler Wow. Okay, so it's been forever and I apologize, even though this was horribly inactive. Anway, I think I've improved a tad bit from back then. Instead of making a new shop, I'm just going to edit this one. I don't know what you guys would even use these pictures for, other than to just have them. So I'm not sure why I'm doing this, lolol. SUPER...BUMPPPPUUUUUUUU!
