Audiomachine
Discovered a new group that does incredible trailer music called Audiomachine. Check them out! http://www.audiomachine.com/
ask-prince-darktrot asked: What kind of good VST's do you use for really good orchestral if any.
hyperponygbx5 asked: Quick question: what headphones or studio monitors do you use?
squishy-ass-wizard asked: I am extremely jealous of your skills, both musical and artistically. When ever I have seen or listened to either i have been quite frankly amazed.
Trolls are bored again. Do it right this time and ignore everything they do. Block them, delete their posts, and don’t acknowledge their existence.
QT-Mark: Alright, I've practically searched all over the internet, what the heck is the difference between Sad, Tragedy, and Dark in FanFictions? I dunno if this pertains to this thread, but I would just really like someone to answer that question.
Makkon: Sad = someone dies of cancer
Tragedy= lots of people die of cancer
Dark= Cancer is caused by a ubiquitous cult that's poisoning the city's water supply so they can horde all the corpses to use as flesh sacrifices in their black covenant ritual to bring back Lord Zerchon, Defiler of the Flesh and Beast of the Inferno. Everyone dies. Of cancer.
Hope that helps.
starsinautumn: And what of Grimdark?
Makkon: They use the guts for Christmas decorations.

melodyquill asked: I've been meaning to ask for a while now... your DP isn't based on those Shadow Creatures from Kingdom Hearts, is it? ((I forget what they're actually called.))
Random fact, I named one of my hard-drives Foashpil. Yes, that’s a made up word, my brother invented it. But it’s a great replacement swear word.
ex: “Dude, you’re acting like such a foashpil right now”
ex: “What the foash is your problem, man?”
ex: “Foash you! And foash your Marker!”
Another great word to use in certain situations is...

Now I've started doing calligraphy
Am I all over the place or what? If there’s one thing I lack in my life right now, it’s focus.

On the last "image from ponykart;" Please read:
The image that has been going around that is an ingame render of Sweet Apple Acres surrounded by realistically rendered pine trees is not ponykart official. I guess this just goes to show to everyone that bronies will love anything that is pony, regardless of how little sense it makes or how clearly it doesn’t fit the art style. It was nothing more than a test render by our shader artist...

thedoubleedgedpen asked: This is just to say that I *really* like your music and listen to it to cheer myself up, as a soundtrack while I write my novel, to get inspired, or to simply listen to good music. Thank you for being epic.
jackle-app asked: Makkon, you are a beautiful person, and a beautiful artist, I'm glad that we were able to become friends (though we don't talk too often and our interests/opinions don't always match up). I keep seeing your name popping up all over my dashboard and I thought I'd send you a message! I hope you get to go where you want to in life, career-wise and spiritually. You're so...

phillypu asked: Makkon, Makkon, Ma-makkon~ Just a tad bit curious, but how did you get into art AND music (and origami, if you care to share~)? You seem to have a bit of history with both creative media.

rainbowdashtrash asked: I didn't know slowpoke had a tumblr. The more you know!
volancia asked: Hey! First of all, lemme start out by saying that you're an outstandingly extraordinary composer and artist, and that some of your songs have made a huge impact on my musical style. Second, I would like to ask your advice: I've got a few songs on FL Studio, but I can't really seem to get them past the audio sketch stage. Do you have any suggestions to get them from an audio sketch...
lelandjanuska asked: You are by far one of most talented people I follow and I'm so glad I follow you.
mechaffection asked: I need some advice, if you're able. I've been learning music production for about 4-5 months now, and I have learned tons. I have created extremely unique sounds that I am dying to use in a song. One problem, though, after 5 months of learning production, I have yet to actually make a full length song. I have so many awesome melodies and ideas laying around, but I just can't...
ajax37 asked: Hi, Makkon, I am a high school senior and 7-year musician. Last year, I listened to your Menu, Everfree, and Mines sketches and found the Rainbow Rhapsody redressing enormously inspiring. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was exactly the kind of music I wanted to write. Months later, I've made no progress. I have tried using Finale but can't get the sound I want. MUlab has been too...
sleep is for suckers
When I tell you I’m going to bed, you should probably assume that I’m lying. I may be under the impression that it’s my full intention to go right to bed, but no. Why would I go to bed at a reasonable hour like this? There’s already checked messages to check! Old comments from youtube to re-read, exciting updates on polycount from last tuesday to review. And then...
As does yours, good sir
William Anderson responded to my comment, and totally made my day!!!
You blog or re-blog NSFW material, I unfollow you. Don’t take it personally, it’s as simple as that.

Baller.
Rather interesting.
Today is Akira Yoshizawa’s 101st birthday (died in 2005). He’s the man who is responsible for turning origami from a craft into an art. I find it rather odd that I felt so inclined to purchase so much origami, and it all arrived in the mail today. I’m going to celebrate Yoshizawa’s birthday by folding some origami. If anyone else would care to join me in honoring this man...
Saying it again because it's the truth. The Abbey...
How do you get it to change pattern in song?
I just bought so much origami
And like 4 books on geometric origami shape design

I SEE HOW IT IS, MAK

This blog is on hiatus so there’s more to my thoughts than this, but yeah. I hate admitting it but Twilight is written more as a joke machine these days than a relatable lead character.
And what, Pinkie Pie isn’t a joke machine?
Let’s not start reading into things too…
I know I know, I want to explain myself a bit better, it’s more than that. She...
