(sorry if in wrong section didn't know where to put it so i put it here)
Hello guys. I am trying to put a cd together, because i love singing and its my dream to be a singer when i grow up. When and if this cd gets put together i am hoping i can give it out or sell it in school and perhaps in the future send it to a recording company. I've never gotten this serious about my dream before. I now relize that i've got to take some chances. To me making a cd and letting my voice me heard by tons of people is a big chance. Though i've run into a problem...i don't have a band, a recording studio, etc. Thats why i'm hoping that this cd can be put together using the computer. I know that some of you are quiet talented out there which is why i am coming to you for help. In order to make this cd i'll need all the help i can get. So heres what i need:
1st Editors-To edit the pitches of my voice, gaps in the track,and anything messed up in the track.
Mixers-To mix music with the edited song, because what is a song without music? Not much correct?
2nd Editors-To touch up on the track that has got music with it already. To basically perfect it.
Song writers-Hey if you'd like to write me some songs to sing please by all means take this job. I of course run out of ideas of songs sometimes.
Those are the only people i need right now...but boy do i need alot of em. I'm hoping to put a team of about 10-15 people possibly even 20 to get this cd done.
A couple more things you should know: If you are proffesional or at least close to proffesinal i'll pay you! Thats right i will pay you! I'll have to pay you in runescape cash, coke music, or habbo hotel for now. Anyhow, i've got other ways to pay you also. I'm very low on paypal cash ($4.56 usd) so maybe i could pay you that.
You'll get credit for helping make the cd. You can get your full name put into it, a hxf name, whatever you please to have that gives you credit.
BONUS: You'll get free cd tracks on your computer to listen to any time you want to if you help!
Please take this into great consideration, I need YOU, i need all the help i can get. Please help if you can!
Thank you!

ok good idea, but i still would like to make a cd to pass around school and such. I've got cover,insides,and back planned already. I've got 13 tracks already written, 2 of those which are recorded, but need to b edited and put to music. Anyways remember lots of credit to you and i could use lots of help with this. So please if you can help let me know. Rep for anyone who helps and pay if your great help or proffesinal.

Rather than starting to stamp a Load of Cds, id advice useing a service like myspace to test the water first "/
Create a band account, spread it around and see what people think, granted you'd still have to record /edit / touch up the music first "/

Producing a cd (professionally) takes hundreds (even thousands) of dollars and making copies of said cd is even more costly. I have my own recording studio but I distribute my works through torrent websites, which I have found to be more effective than cd production if you're starting out. Editing music will definately be a hassle if you aren't present (physically) at the studio because there can be many issues that can arise, such as re-recording a place on a track, etc.
Because you have limited funds and little music production experience, my advice would be to make some money and visit a recording studio and make some songs. Then you can distribute your music to your friends (who will most likely re-distribte your songs to their friends and so on). Also, don't be too concerned with having a physical album (with covers and such) since you're likely to waste more money buying that than you use to help improve your music. Basically what I'm saying is, if your songs are good enough, people will care less how pretty the album cover is, so it's no use having one unless you want to give people eye-candy and not good material.

i'm not looking to make something proffesinal. Just good enough so that people around my school will enjoy it. You see what i am saying?

I see what you're saying, but I find it to be a waste of time and money to release cds in a school. As entor said, making a website (or joining a pseudo-social spot) is much more effective than having a cd. For one, you'll get a wider audience a bigger range of responses, and you get to meet some other newbie artists who are likely to have some good advice for you as well.

Just wondering? is it just you singing? or do you like have a band as well? and if not, where does the music come from?
If you do have a band or somthing, maybe trying playing at a few small places, and getting your name out?

ok i like the idea of making a website or something like that. Theres going to be most likely very little money if not no money spent on making this cd. Then i'll pass it around school and see how people like it. Either way i need a team to help edit music.

I have no band. The music will come from the mixers and possibly some stuff i can do. I've got a keyboard that has lots of instruments on it so i can make beats and such to help make music on the words. It will be music and my singing.

Try cakewalk. Its what I have, great program.
And you dont need to be proffesional when you first start. Ive gotten CDs from local concerts that are burned and the name written on it. Music is the only thing that matters when you dont have a label.

You're making a music cd without any proper equipment and asking for help to strangers who most likely live hundreds of miles away from you, asking for collaboration in the making of said cd. But the ideas you're presenting us are, honestly, not convincing and your musical feat is likely to be a flop from the start, and all the work those strangers put into your cd will all be in vain, which is why some of us are suggesting you try a different route instead.
It sounds like a good idea, but you can't actually do stuff over a internet or ms'n or whatever you need to know them in real life.
I doubt there will be any music editors on this forum actually speically this forum.
as u live in usa there should be some cheap studios you can go to.
You also need to make a beat/instrumental or whatever.
My dad is a musican so i know some things and my friends are into london grime (you woulden't know) and also rap so there kind of in your shoes as well.
I might be able to help.. im not sure
Edit: Btw i have a little studio in my music/comp room

You dont need fancy equipment. Youre acting like you need this big studio when you dont. Go to one of those self-recorder places, it costs a few bucks.
And you arent this big star, so a 'bonus track' isnt really needed. Thats like saying youll put one of your friend's name in the credits for a home movie.

Well think about it, if you cant be bothered to put your own time, money etc in to doing this? why in the world are you then expecting a load of complete strangers to? whom have no personal interest in this at all?
Many solutions have been offered, you simply dismiss them.

am i not making myself clear? you don't need to put money into this! I'll pay you. You can go get a free music editor thing or something and edit songs. There are some free ones out there that are good to use. I would probably do the editing myself but i have nobody to learn from. So unless somebody wants to teach me to use sound forge 8 good than i need this cd team.
One person could make your cd in a week and still make it sound good but they would want alot of pay the stuff your asking for cant really be payed with pixels.... would help but your paypal balance isnt that high...

If you can't learn to accept critism (sp?) you will never go far in the music industry. People are just trying to give their honest opinion on your singing. You should accept the fact that not everyone will like your singing. Why, even the celebrities today who sing, not everyone likes them. But of course, there's always room for improvement if you try.
I can't help much, but I wish you luck on your task.

I've just listened to it. The main problem is that you don't have the greatest singing voice in the world. If you're really not going to give up, I think that you would benefit from some vocal training.
However, in my opinion, I think that it would be best for you to move on, and do something else. I don't think that your good enough at singing to become successful. Don't waste your life pursuing a dream that will not come true.
