It's Just that Way.......is a song about loved ones we've lost. A song I did 4 yrs ago. The recording is somewhat flawed. The drum loop is crappy.All other instrumentation is done with the Roland Fantom X6 keyboard and Roland XV-2020 sound module.!!!
We are blessed ,living in a day and age whenever the mood strikes , we can hit the record button
and save our feelings and emotions. Sometimes when you listen the next day,ya' "think", ahh ...maybe this is worth saving.......other times,,,,...........,Damn', what the f**k was I thinking LOL.!!
Regardless, we have the choice !!!!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their generous and kind words....This is a great community !!
Keep the music growing and flowing..........Respect and regards "wolf-wolf"
I've been wanting to ask you all what kind of phones you use and/or recommend? and here's 2 problems.. nobody is listening about the posting thing.. put up my NEW BLUE last night and it was gone from sight in a few minutes cause of the over-posters.. why don't guys **** off?.. lol.. just kiddin.. so we have to spam all our friends to let em know we got a new one? that sucks imho..
so anyway problem number 2.. after i post a new one i always listen in my 2 pairs of headphones.. obviously they both sound different but my new song is strange.. in the sennheisers (my main mixing phones) the lead guitar sounds balanced just fine.. but in the old sony CD380's the leads are FRIGGIN LOUD !!!! never had this problem on any other of my tunes.. just wondering if any of you hear it the 2nd way.. leads WAY too loud?.. no reviewer's have said that yet.. just wondering.. and I really would like to know about your taste in phones.. which have the best mid, highs and bass? lol.. I know this should have been a forum question but alot more read the blogs.. lol.. thanks and please check out new blue if you're so inclined.. cheers fam..

HI FRIENDS & FANS,
I POSTED A BLOG ASKING FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT A FEW DAYS AGO.
WELL, IT`S THE 2ND TIME IN 4 MONTHS THAT I`VE BEEN IN THE SEMI-FINALS AT OURSTAGE.COM, AND LOST, (NOT BECAUSE OF THE SONG) BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH VOTES FROM MY FRIENDS AND FANS. 
I WAS BEATEN BY A GIRL THAT LOOKED LIKE A PROM QUEEN, THAT OBVIOUSLY HAD 100`S OF FRIENDS VOTING FOR HER. 
LOL
THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, IF I DON`T GET MORE SUPPORT.
MY SONGS ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE SEMI-FINALS, BUT THEN IT BECOMES A POPULARITY CONTEST, AND THE ARTIST WITH THE MOST FRIENDS AND FANS VOTING FOR THEM WINS.
ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE THOSE OF YOU THAT TOOK THE TIME, AND DID VOTE, AND I HOPE MORE OF YOU WILL JOIN IN AND HELP OUT THE NEXT TIME, BECAUSE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. MY SONGS ARE VERY POPULAR ON OURSTAGE.COM., AND IT COULD HAPPEN THAT I`LL BE IN THE SEMI-FINALS AGAIN AT THE END OF APRIL, OR MAY. BUT I NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO WIN.
ONCE AGAIN, A BIG THANKS TO ALL THAT SUPPORTED ME AND VOTED.
PEACE,
DICARLO
<p>Hey Everyone!</p><p>WildHoneyPie had a great idea about having an iMS Party. This is just a chance to get together and hang out in the chatroom, listen to some fellow musicians on the iMS Radio and have some fun. We will be playing the Songs for Rob and chatting away!</p><p>This is a great opportunity to get to know some of your fellow iMS Musicians. If you are looking to collaborate with some musicians, this is a great way to see who is out there. </p><p>We are looking at this Saturday from 6PM-9PM EST to meet up in the chat room. The chat room link is in the menu and the login is the same as your iMS login. </p><p>Hope to see you there!!</p><p>Dazed </p><p> </p>
Well, I just gotta say... this place is like coming home to see all my old friends and meet some new ones. I've been quiet for a long time it seems. Personal demons and all. Not that my life has been hard, I've just been really unhappy with my musical direction and needed a break. Not that I'm getting back on that horse quite yet, but I felt it was time to get out and re-connect... well... virtually anyway. I'm getting out more in reality as well. Doing some solo gigs. Kinda nerve wracking cuz I hate the way I sound... but ya gotta do it to get it out of your system sometimes.
Anyway, thanks to Dazed and everyone for welcoming back.
Mike
<p>I thought I would mention this because I think it is a good idea. Carol Douglas posted in the <a href="/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11780">FORUM</a> asking if we could get everyone to post song lyrics when we have them. I know I am guilty of not adding this information so I will go back and add what I can.</p><p>Since we are on the topic, I think it would also be cool to read up on some song information. It would be nice knowing how it was recorded, instruments used song concept etc. </p><p>Thoughts? </p><p> </p>
Hi
My track "The Strider - breakbeat edit" was at #24 on last years Ourstage song voting competition.
If you like electronic music which is both listenable and danceable check out my track.
Total contestants entries were 354 songs.

This is a subject I have wanted to tackle for some time. A member recently sent me a message asking about this so I thought I would clear it up. <br /><br />Is iMusicScene free or not? The answer is of course it is FREE! Memberships are not required and truthfully we do not advertise them. My guess is most people did not even know the option existed. <br /><br />This site has been free since we started it almost 4 years ago. We had subscriptions for a short time and then I removed them entirely. Recently I brought them back because some of you crazy musicians wanted to post your entire 500 song catalog on here! <br /><br />What is the difference between the subscriptions? More song and video slots is about it. The rest of the features are pretty much the same. Soundclick charges $9.95 per month for their subscriptions. That subscription will allow you to post your songs at 192k bitrate which is what all of our accounts will allow. Our subscriptions are there to just help support the site and offset our cost. If you think I am making a profit on this site, I have news for you. My taxes show otherwise. iMusicScene was never about profit. It was about having some fun and doing some music. <br /><br />So why have subscriptions at all? Well the honest truth is this. When this site first started, my shared server was around $10 a month. A shared server is many web sites sharing one small server. I have seen as many as 250 web sites on one shared server. Bandwidth and hard drive space were not an issue because there were only a handful of members here. As we got bigger, our host said we were killing the shared server and politely notified us that we were being booted from the shared server. They asked us to go to a dedicated server or find another host. Our traffic was slowing down the other 249 sites hehe. All my complaints to them about iMS running slow was being caused by us!<br /><br />A dedicated server is one that we basically owned and maintained and were the only web site on it. The price for this was $150 a month for an entry level server. We stayed on it for several months but again, our traffic continues to grow. As we grow, we have to constantly be aware of how the site interacts with our members. I work in Information Technology and I know as well as most people know, if the site is slow, who wants to be here? With that, we are constantly upgrading behind the scenes to make sure your experience here is a pleasurable one.<br /><br />The thing that cracked me up about this is Hosting Companies toss out these huge numbers to you. 200GB of Bandwidth a month and 200GB of Hard Drive space for $6 a month. Sounds great until you try and use those numbers and they are booting you from their server. Luckily we have a great host now that I can grow with and I am yet to see any major problems with them at all. <br /><br />We put the subscriptions in place for artists who need more space and want to help support iMS. Prior to the subscriptions I had people emailing me asking where they could contribute and we would politely decline.<br /><br />So yes, iMusicScene is free and will continue to be that way. The only goal we ever had was to break even. That is why we have the Yahoo Ads, MusicianFriend and Guitar Center links here. These help offset our cost. We have also been fortunate to have some web sites wanting to advertise with us. As our traffic grows, we will get more advertisers and use those proceeds to advertise iMS and help spread the word!<br /><br />I hope this clears up the question for anyone else who was wondering! <br /><br />Dazed
Glad your back and was able to listen to the show mate, good chatting with u in the chat.
Take it easy and stay out of the hospital for a while..
