Audio Tags

Hi, I am aspiring to be a music producer. About two years ago I decided that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, which is why I spend so much time practicing, every spare minute I have is spent learning new aspects of audio production. I'm so dedicated to this, all I wan't to do is produce music.

I still feel that my skills are lacking in a few different areas, so last year I started sending out applications to studio's around the UK, the replies that I got stated that I need a degree in Audio Production to be able to work in a recording studio. So since last year I have been searching for an institute to study at and found an amazing place to study called SAE Institute in Liverpool. The course is a 2 year BA/BSc (Hons) Degree in Audio Production, and after the course ends you are prepared for work in any sector of the audio production industry, from music production to live sound and broadcast, post production for film, video and TV. So there are many different roots I would be able to go down if I was lucky enough study there.

I have managed to save £4000 up to now, however, the fee's and living expenses amount to around £29,000, (this is a link to view the living expensis http://www.saeuk.com/downloads/FeeSchedule(Combined)Liverpool.pdf) Unfortunately, I cannot get funding for the course and a bank loan is not available to me but by the time the course starts on 07/10/2012 I will hopefully have saved around another £4000.

After looking for ways to generate the funds I need to be able to study at SAE I came across this website, I think it's an amazing way to help someone out who is in need. I'm just really hopefull that there will be someone out there who has been in the same situation as I am now, who know's how it feels to wan't something so bad that it hurts. I really feel I have the drive and determination to succeed in reaching my goals of becoming a music producer and any donation that you make, big or small, will have helped me get a step closer to fulfilling my dreams. I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and if you are kind enough to donate and help me, I will be forever in you debt. Thankyou.

My husband and I are lifelong radio personalities and producers. We have enjoyed a good life and always a good income. When the largest radio conglomerate in the nation fired (layoff my a$$) everyone over 40 we lost our jobs. Our 401K was the first to go. It fed us and we paid a premium to the IRS. Our savings account of 20,000 is long gone for rent, utilities, our internet bill so we can search & apply for jobs, and food. My husband has heart failure. He requires 10 medications a day. We couldn't pay our land line so this means the data can't be fed from his pacemaker to the cardiologist's office isn't being transmitted and has not been for over two months. We worked our way up. We scrimped and saved. Neither of us smoke, we don't use drugs, we do not drink, we do not waste money. I shopped for us at a Goodwill in the River Oaks area, the best clothes in town as far as resale goes; even when times were good. My unemployment pay of $800 monthly is gone 3 months now. His is $812 and our rent & utilities are combined; $725 monthly which is the least expensive we could find - is not paid almost 2 months as of August 1. We face being homeless very soon. Not a slice of bread in our house. We have sold our wedding bands and every piece of jewelry we had. We've sold our furniture; the best pieces. We are down to nothing. The social service agencies are out of funds as so many are in the same position. If you can find it in your heart to help us, it would be a blessing as we pray without ceasing. We thank you in faith and divine hope. Thank you for reading our post and we'll hope for miracles.

I will provide professional audio editing and we both will provide voiceover work sent to you via e-mail on an mp3 file. We are working people and we are more than willing to work to earn any help for us.

Hi there,
since 2009 I've developed a big interest in developing stuff for legacy platforms like the Sony PlayStation and the Sega Saturn.

In December 2008, I started developing small applications for the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive. Eventually, I quit for a while and in April/May 2009 I got a Sony PlayStation Development Kit and started reading some documentation and playing with the tools it bundled.

I expected to have something I called 'NAOMI Operating System for Sony PlayStation" complete on Fall 2009, but I lost interest in everything again.

Meanwhile Summer 2009, I started to develop a mini game based on the Clock Tower series by Human Entertainment called 'Barrows Castle', with DarkBASIC Professional. I got to do some of the game play, until I got a new workstation and left all data in the old one and did not bother to transfer the 'Barrows Castle' data into my new workstation.

Later in that year, I got development tools for the Sega Saturn-- a console I always fancied. After my failures with the Sony PlayStation, I actually got to compile some test programs for the Sega Saturn.

In December 2009, I did my first working program. It was a program called "it's Britney!", inspired in the iPhone/iPod touch app, available in the Apple App Store called "it's Britney!". It displayed a Britney Spears background that I created myself using Paint.NET image editing, and it had three Britney Spears audio tracks. The 'A' button would play a track, the 'B' button another track, etc...

(I lost this piece of software though)

Also since December 2009, I've been wanting to develop a project called 'BIOGENESIS'. It's a game still in concept phase... after all this talk, I'll just get to the point.

I want to develop a game for the Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn (not sure yet which) called 'BIOGENESIS'. But in concept phase I found myself in trouble...

I'll need a lot of material. I'd like to host a website about the game, buy some software (graphics editor...) and pay a few people I know to make some audio tracks.

Donate as much as you like. Any little helps. If you want to know about further developments of the game, please contact me at neptunebluebottle@gmail.com

Please make 'BIOGENESIS' possible.
