Forum Newbies... a few thoughts + FAQ

[quietextrovert]

Hello, Hola, Conichiwa, Bon appetite everyone. I am Steve currently in S. Florida and love reading the forums. I believe I have found a long lost family, and hope I can become a nutty cousin or something . My musical aspirations are not grand, I just love creating( It's Alive). I did notice my wifes' eyebrows dont raise as much when I buy another piece of equipment, if I tell her I am submitting the song to Taxi.LaterSteveiecb

Hola Steveiecb and welcome to the boards from a long lost nutty S. Florida cousin (I grew up in Ft. L & Davie).

Hello Cuz:My wife and I signed up as fans and we love all your songs, especially Destiny. Geeez if only we had had a father showing us the ropes... So how do like N.C.? I'm sure its a little different than here. I moved to Pemb Pines in 1996 from North of Tampa and had to make a few adjustments; like driving techniques.Also thank you Hummingbird, nice to hear from you again.Rock on JJSteveiecb

Thanks Steveiecb! She loves to write and sing and I'm glad I have half a clue of how to help.I love NC, we moved up here in '91 right after school. Ironically things with real estate, banking, oil and the middle east were nearly identical to today in Florida so I headed north to find work and never looked back.Best of luck with your music! Post some up when you get time I'd love to take a listen.J.J.

Hello everyone.I Just wanted to introduce myself briefly.I recently Joined Taxi (Feb fifth...ish). I took the 3 year plunge, since I am very devoted to "making it," and I knew if my music didn't make the grade, the critiques would tutor me. That being said, any advice is welcome.Since my 2 months of membership I have,Returns: 20Forwards: 4Pending: 8Deals: 0Any questions, feel free to ask me.Nick

Hey, Nick-- Welcome!! And 4 forwards in your first month and a half ain't too shabby! You've got the right attitude. The critiques are a HUGE part of the TAXI experience-- they're the bonus fries that keep us coming back with better stuff and greater improvements. And this forum rocks-- it's like getting a college education that you can use! Have you got a link with your stuff? I'm sure there's plenty of folks here who would love to have a listen! Welcome again-- Raags

Thanks Raags! I'm actually from up your way. I moved from Michigan a few years ago.Forwardshttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=9778 ... =1Probably my favorite of what's been forwarded so far.Returnshttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=1118 ... =1Probably more of a Disaster than Crisis Instrumental... I guess since it was a yes no basis.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... &stream=1I thought this on would go thru. It was for CONTEMPORARY POP/DANCE, FUN INSTRUMENTALS - with a carefree light mood....30 sec edit. I think I might add a bassline.http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... stream=1My critique of this was excellent, and I have a much better I dea of what to do to make it work.Pendinghttp://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_id=116226&stream=1For Dispatch Urban /pop R&B song.Any questions, comments, or critiques are welcome.
