trying to make cd. Need a team!

[MusicPalace]

(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!

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.

Thats what i am planning to do around school. I just want to get my voice heard around school for now.

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.
