Despite being widely forgotten about by most people including myself there is actually enough entries to warrant some kind of release so here it is for everyone to enjoy.

Featuring fabdabulous christmas jingles by:

1- Inri Cheetos: Almost decent but you still have a lot to learn you n00b
2- Izekeal: Nice bass solo (I think)
3- Immortal and Ptizzle: Wow that sounded really professional and well recorded, post lyrics please
4- Mamamamamack: I'm not trying to be offensive or anything but this isn't actually very pleasant to the ears
5- Inri Cheetos: Boring
6- The Immortal: Nice trance song or whatever my favourite track it's very soft and calm

Overall this was awesome and it is a shame it didn't have a few more submissions.
1. Inri Cheetos: I liked this one a lot because I thought it captured the holiday spirit or whatever while being original.
2. Very mellow, I liked it a lot.
3. Yea nice co-op, as with all Ptizzle stuff the lyrics and rapping were well done. Nice sound Immortal
4. A nice cover. Though it sounds a little harsh at the very end, most of it was solid playing.
5. I liked the other one a little better but this was still nice. Made me think of winter.
6. Liked this one also, I think it fit nicely with the theme.

So yeah great work, everyone's piece worked well with the theme. I'll probably throw all these into any Holiday mix I make.

Yeah man I was trying to do the snowflake thing for like 2 hours as well but I couldn't get it to work at all and I had no idea why, thanks for trying. Also the cover art was just some random image I had saved on my computer that I put a foget face on.

@Mamamack: First things first: a lot of the "comments" you're getting are due to the recording quality of your song. I don't know what kind of microphone you used, but it was very crackly. For recording, I'd recommend using a (small-diaphragm) condenser microphone. If you ever plan on doing some recording again for fun and have a few extra dollars saved up, I bought mine for amateur home recording for $60 and it works great. Google "clarinet recording" and you can find out how best to "place" the microphones. From what I read, they should be placed near the finger holes.

Secondly, I don't know if you used a different instrument to record the background or not, but the lead clarinet sounded a bit out-of-tune (I have no idea how "tuning" woodwind instruments works). I also don't know what program you used to record, but you most definitely had clipping going on, which meant that at very loud volumes, the sound was becoming highly distorted. Most recording interfaces have live recording-level meters to prevent clipping for occuring. Usually this means you need to move the mic further away, or flip a volume -dB switch if your mic has one (or even play softer, as a last resort).

Thirdly, I liked your tune! The bass notes in the back were an nice touch to prevent it from being just a boring melody. However, you didn't do enough to SPICE IT UP (add some Mamamack personal flavor to it).






Ill try to say more about everyone else's song later.

I love how this turned out. Glad it got released, I was scared it was gonna flop for a while.

Merry Christmas!!! (Though it's past already.)

I got tools, lots of them.  I'm going to use them to build stuff.  Hurrah.

Yeah, it's Auto-Tune 5, used by professional bad singers everywhere.
