Go and listen to "Money Money" by Billy Idol

See if you hear the backing singers sing "Like a pony!" (from 0.40)

Billy: "You make me feel"

Singers: "Like a pony!"

Billy: "So good"

Singers "Like a pony!"

etc...

That song is now ruined for you for the rest of your lives.

Something I've been fiddling about with last night and this morning.

Not really sure where to take it or what to call it. All I can tell you is, it's some blatant dreamy electro house.

http://zebrastripe.net/stuff1/media/Mytracks/House_WIP1.mp3

Would some ideas on some melody/lead/hooks etc (mostly in F) so I don't have to throw this into my B-files folder never to see the light of day again.

Don't use Youtube at all to show off some music.

Canterlot.com fully supports SoundCloud.com so audio can be streamed at better quality rates in most cases and you can allow people to download (or not allow) at your leisure.

Wingapo.

Rabbits are becoming a :Rarity:Rarity these days.

Anyone got a lagomorph or two?

A bit pretentious, assuming it's a self analogy. Otherwise, no information or style present. 1/5

lol, I either misread or it's been changed.

Interesting that you choose to post in the spam section rather than the gaming section. *shrugs*

Artax: Perhaps. Could you clarify that a little?

Basically, make it available for online use.

Would you like to / want to make a version to be hosted on Canterlot.com for members to use?

Wow, both ideas seem pretty good, thanks for replying. The former sounds like it would be more doable within my time limit and skills set, but the latter cirtaintly looks more proffessional. Is there anyway I can do it without a hot glue gun? I could try and concoct one out of a hair drier and a print stick, but otherwise I've got nothing

Other types of glue should work. PVA will be fine... but takes some time to set. Hot Glue is just like PVA but sets as soon as it cools so you don't need to hold onto stuff for ages. It's also thinner the hotter it is so it's good to have it seep into the foam/fabric slightly for a better hold.

You could probably get a glue gun at a £1 shop. I didn't pay any more than £4 for mine at a 'circle7' (one of those dirt-cheap tool shops)

Time to make the tail!

You'll need,

Sewing stuff (needle, tread, patience or sewing machine)

More fur (longer the pile/furlength the better).

Stuffing (plushie stuffing)

A belt

Wide elastic.

What you're essentially making here is a very simple plush-tail with some way of attaching it to your body.

In this case, using the elastic to make a hoop to thread a belt through which can then be attached about your waist.

On the back of the fur, draw the rough shape with a marker and cut with a stanley or craft knife being careful to only cut the backing and not the fur itself.

Use the first piece as a template and to do the same. Place other way up so you have a mirror image so they can be joined together.

Note, that I clearly marked the direction of the fur.

Sew the two pieces together with the fur facing inwards and leaving enough of a gap to put at least a hand in so you can fill it.

Once sewn, turn inside-out and fill with plushie stuffing.

You'll now at least have something to hug at this point if it all goes wrong.

Now make a loop of fabric or elastic at the top and sew securely onto the tail. This doesn't have to be amazingly neat as your t-shirt or other top will most likely sit below your belt-line and hide it.

Note: If your trousers/jeans have a belt loop in the very middle of the back, you can add two loops to your tail to sit either side of the belt loop, this also has the advantage of preventing the tail from going off center and moving around too much.

More info & notes (not by myself):

Professional here to the rescue.

You will need:

A bit of foam (upholstery)

hair-band

Small amount of fur

A4 sheet of Felt

hot glue gun.

If under 18, a parent/adult to assist.

You can get nearly all of the above from your local HobbyCraft shop and a haberdashery

Careful with knives and never leave a hot glue gun unattended!

Carefully cut the foam block into two equal pieces and, using a marker, draw the shape of one of the ears.

Once the right shape is drawn (I've gone for a slight Arab/Thoroughbred look here) cut out the shape.

Then, using the 1st ear you've just cut, place on the other piece of foam and use as a template to draw the next one.

(a good bread knife works quite well, but I use an electric carving knife for foam work)

You should now have two similarly shaped ears.

What I've done here is give them a little slope from the tip to the middle of the back of the ear to give a slightly better shape.

Scoop out the middle. You can carefully score with a knife and simply pick out with your fingers.

Be careful not to take out too much, the foam needs to be sturdy when you've finished.

Here you can see I've scooped out the middles and rounded off some of the corners so it's not quite so squared off.

Now is an OK time to attach to the hairband using the hot glue gun. With mine I tend to cut away a little of the bottom of the ears at an angle so the ears still point up when sat on a curved surface. You can have both pointing in the same direction or at different angles.

Fur softens the shape so don't go too mad with rounding corners.

First add felt to the insides with little beads of the hot glue. You may need to shape the felt so it fits and lines the inside of the ear cavity (see right ear).

using the same process, start adding the fur. You can cut the fur to size using a stanley knife on the back of the fabric.

NOTE: Make sure the fur is running from the base up towards to the tip. This is how real animal ears are furred and will prevent a 'bald patch' at the very tip of the ears.

There... that's a rough guide for now.

You can fur the hairband a little if you want or even use it as an anchor point to make your own mane, too!

"Canterlot voice is not in correspondence with Canterlot.com"

...so the correspondence and other messages I've received never happened?

Did you mean to put "Canterlot Voice is an authorized member project on Canterlot.com" ?

I'm guessing this is just a case of dictionary fail. But either way, you can't go saying you nothing to do with Canterlot.com then go using our images/logs etc.

Keep up the good work. It's nice to see more effort into improving the format has gone in.

Try a different browser.

Try the Mobile version. (click 'change theme' at bottom left of the site)

Not alot else we can suggest.

We can't offer support for iPad products.

Ok, I've had a re-think about it...

The answer's still no.

We won't allow discussions of things of a sexual and/or violent nature in inappropriate places.

That's not us. That's not what we're here for.

If you REALLY need to discuss such things I'm sure there are other communities on the internet that will cater for that kind of niche.

Final word on that topic.

As a potential investor in a project such as this, I would ask myself "what I would get out of it?".

You've stated that, of course, it's highly unlikely that anyone would get their money back. That's ok. However, what entertainment value would we (the investors in your project) get?

You should show a portfolio of youtube videos (for example) and show people how you handle public situations and your skills in leading conversation with strangers. That way, if you're shown to be the type of person others like to subscribe too they'll be a lot more likely to help you out and know that this 'show' won't suck (great idea, poorly executed).

Kickstarter funding may, at first, look like people are stumbling blind and chucking their cash at reasonable ideas (though some may do so) but generally there's something to show (previous projects etc) to assure investors that their contributions arn't going to waste.

Hi, there are sections in this forum for role play.... this is the introductions area for people not characters/lies.

Welcome to Canterlot, though.

Goodmorrow? This vid is the ONLY suitable response. XD

Music challenge with GallenW to do a genre neither of us had touched before... dupstep.

As most may know, I compose newage/classic genres mainly so this is outside my comfort zone. So this is a first for me, so it's not going to be amazing. But hey.

Reason 6.5

"Last post wins" and related topics are suspended until further notice.

This is due to unusually high database queries being made and is under investigation.

I've recently made the jump from Reason 4.0 to Reason 6.5 (see attached image to see what Rarity enjoys most!)

Not the cheapest, not the most expensive either but I've been using Reason for a looooooong time and pretty comfortable with it.

The reason I use Reason (no jokes) is because of it's 'completeness' out of the box. People will enjoy complaining that VSTs don't work with it naively (there's always reWire) but, let's be honest, VSTs are flakey as heck and an aging standard. EVERYTHING I need is right there at the finger tips. But now Reason have 'RackExtensions' so we now have Korg and other ledgends in the rack game!

The other thing I enjoy about reason is... there isn't stuff ALL OVER the place (Cubase/FLs users know what I'm talking about). It's beautifully laid out and not cluttered in the slightest even when I have 50+ rack devices hooked up. I love producing but I'm no rocket scientist!

What software do you use?

There isn't a 'best' software (so long it's not a drag-drop dance e-jay type) but tell us what you love about your preferred and most used recording/editors.
