This year, our main gift for A Pink is a5-track 3-track Christmas mini-album featuring different songs and carols that we usually hear during the Christmas season. We currently have one track done, our staff is already writing the rest of the tracks. You can also volunteer to write lyrics if you want but it's needed to be done ASAP. PM me if you want to send in your lyrics.


Tracklist
1. My Wishlist, lyrics byiamdumbkiwi (Originally by Britney Spear - My Only Wish)
2. Mistletoe, lyrics by erikaakire13 (Originally by Justin Bieber - Mistletoe)
3. Pink Christmas, lyrics by Starshapedgummy (Originally known as White Christmas)

The Perk
We will be giving away 5 A-PINK.NET notebooks at random to those who will participate in this project, yay! The notebooks are really cute and were designed by our very own admin, kashyyyk!



Awesome right?


How to join
1. Go to the thread of the track that you want to sing. Reply to the thread with your desired part (in color).
2. Record your parts and group parts (as indicated in the lyrics).
3. Attach your .wav file to your email and send it to projects@a-pink.net with "Title, Color of your part, username" as the subject. Or upload on mediafire and PM it to me with the same title format.
Deadline: November 27, 2011


Tools you need
1. Good microphone and earphones/headphones.
2. Record your voice using Audacity. No, don't record in your bathroom or other echo-y places! Record when it's quiet. Please follow the instructions below:

1. Plug in your earphones and microphone. Open the song instrumental / mp3 in iTunes or VLC. The earphones part is important because if you use your speakers, it'll feed in your microphone and it won't sound nice.

2. Open Audacity > Hit the record button (red circle) then hit the stop button (yellow box) when you're done. Make sure the sound waves are not too small and not too large.


3. Highlight the flat part (Notice there's a big space at the end? We'll use it as our noise profile)


4. Go to Effect > Noise Removal, then click Get Noise Profile. The window will automatically close and bring you back to your recording.

5. Highlight the whole recording.


6. Go to Effect > Noise Removal again, then adjust Noise Reduction to 20. Hit preview. If the noise is lessen, but not totally gone, it's okay. If the the voice, however, doesn't sound natural, adjust Noise Reduction to 15 or 10. Experiment and find the perfect value for Noise Reduction.

7. Go to File > Export > Format: WAV. File name should be Title of Song_Color of your part_Username

8. Attach your .wav file to your email and send it to projects@a-pink.net with "Title, Color of your part, username" as the subject. Or upload on mediafire and PM it to me with the same title format.

Come on Pink Pandas, sign up~ We still need LOTS of singers. You can sing the whole track with your friends/group if you want.

[Dassa]

Is there going to be a fifth track or are we just going to stick to four?

[Chloe]

^ We're going to stick to three now, since there are no lyrics for 4th & 5th tracks and we're running out of time. ^^;

[RoyalFlush]

I so want to participate. But I'm afraid that I might screw up because I'm not a good singer

really? we really want to but we were afraid because we think we're too greedy to take a whole track ^^;

It's okay! As long as there are 3-4 person singing in one song, you can get everything!
Goodluck!

[Ruth]

I want to join this!!! PLease please please!! May I in?? :DDD

EDIT

[mihanjji]

it's three of us ^^
ummm can we take "my wishlist" song? but there's one person who reserved a line

[Chloe]

^ You can probably sing it with her then, so that forms a 4-person group. There are still 6 colors available so each of you can take 2 colors (except for yellow). You should still post in the thread though so you can reserve the spots/colors. Thanks guys and happy singing!
