This is how I go forward with my music - the real story from November 2017 and towards the album release but it took Volume 2 to get the whole way there. Creating, editing and mixing music is a complicated effort but loads of fun.
For all you who want to know how it goes down and for my fans who constantly ask why this album has been taking so long, now they will know.

From France to America: a Journey of Strength by Mlissa534070

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

Every Second [COMPLETED] by joymoment

"Honestly one of the best books I've read" - mywayforme "I'll take it from here," Sebastian said. "Ms. Dawson, I re-watched your interlude performance from Saturday and I was impressed with your drumming ability. I'm about to start work on my next album. I'm putting together a creative team to develop how the album will sound and I want to extend an invitation to you." Startled by the offer, Amelia's mind went blank. All words slipped from her brain, her thoughts becoming a jumbled mess pooled at her feet. "Ms. Dawson?" Sebastian prompted. Amelia blinked. Amelia didn't realize when she said yes to a once in a life time opportunity that it would jump start her career and help her find the one thing she hadn't been looking for. "Seriously, this book is not at all a cliche. It is very mature and fun to read and no teenage drama which was a huge plus. This book is amazing and was definitely worth reading!!" - LiveYourMoment "I honestly love your book.. It was such a. Great story!!!!" - vanshika_pgt "One word AMAZING!" - mortelinstruments "I LOVED THIS STORY. I read it almost in a day and don't regret it a single moment. This story is so involving and isn't totally cliche. Simply absolutely amazing." - IPBR21 #1 in Teen Fiction Started December 2016 Completed February 10, 2017

aTRACKion by KBMallion

The stage used to be a place that felt like home. It's where I thought I would always belong. But that was then. Before my confidence was stripped so publicly away from me. After singing on a chart-topping dance track and appearing in its video, I had stupidly laid myself bare to the cruel and judgemental world. People didn't hear my voice, they only saw my weight. I was big, but my voice was so much bigger. Trolled. Trashed. Ridiculed. I vowed never again to do that to myself. Never, would I stand on a stage. Never, would I sing in public. Years later, I lost some weight...but never really found my confidence. So when Doug DiCarto contacts me about the possibility of working with him, I am floored. He is a big name British DJ and dance music producer. He is admired. He is cool. A genius on the decks. He has a reputation for banging out the coolest of tunes almost as often as he bangs his women. Which is why I think I will have to say no. I just have to, right? Doug DiCarto and his high-profile world, could put me right back to that lonely, cruel and public place that I was four years ago. I can't do that to myself. As flattered as I am, I just don't think I can put myself through that all over again. My singing voice is mine. Never will it be the worlds. Never will it be his. aTRACKion Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2018 K B Mallion

Beginner's Guide to Music-making, Mixing & Mastering by JonathanKonopka

I noticed editing only lasts fifteen minutes in Newgrounds, so I remade my guide with reduced redundancy, fixed typos, clarified areas, and tightened the wording, plus added more extras I forgot about previously. Overall, it's under 10k words, telling you everything from start to finish as an introduction to music making, mixing and mastering to produce quality audio. I made this so a beginner can get started making quality music whilst also guiding them into mixing and mastering, without being fooled by ads into buying stuff they don't even need. This way, you'll not repeat the mistakes I did and so many others have also! I'm not a professional, but I can share what I experienced and researched. I do not know if someone already posted something like this, so assume this is me sharing my views and NOT implying this is the only or best way to start. There are other guides that contradict this one, and that's OK. This guide may not even be useful for you, and that's OK, too. If you already know the basics of DAWs, VSTs and plugins, skip to step #6.

Lyric Storm by BrookeDittmar93

This story is fiction none of the characters are real, this is from my own imagination. HOWEVER I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO ANY OF THE MUSIC OR PHOTO'S IN THIS BOOK AND WILL GIVE CREDIT TO EVERY ARTIST WHO ORIGINALLY SANG/WROTE THE SONG! Being stupid has nothing to do with it because I'm actually pretty smart, it's being careless really. I've simply just stopped caring, my head is so filled with the loud noises that surround me that I can't even write. Some people think my life is so simple, so easy but that's not true. I have worked my ass off literally but nobody cares. It feels like I'm living in a cold dark room and no matter how many times I scream for help nobody is there. As I fall to the floor I can hear people screaming, trying to figure out what is wrong with me but sad truth is I don't even know what the fuck is wrong with me. I sink into a dark abyss, the voices fade away and I simply could care less.

Once Upon A Bus Ride by iamtheeamani

Morgan Hall is your average teenager. That is if you consider having a billionaire CEO of a world renowned company as a dad and a fashion designer of one of the most famous lines in the world as a mother average. Let's not leave out her singer/actress of a sister who's taking the world by storm. Morgan was no doubt born with a giant silver spoon in her mouth, but her life isn't always as perfect as it seems. Aaron Smith, quiet and reserved, admired my many for his good looks. He doesn't seem to associate himself with many people. Which is why it's so strange when he finds himself becoming friends with the rich, little, daddy's girl...at least that's what he thinks of her. Fate and chance are at work when they cross paths one afternoon on a bus. Throw in crazy lives and secret identities, and you get one hell of a ride on the road to self discovery. What Morgan doesn't know is that one stubborn move could land her a new friend, and possibly even more. ~~~~~ "It's amazing...magical even, how hearing one song can take you back to a single moment or a series of them, just so you can live it all over again," he said. "I think that's the best part about music. It's like time travel you know? Going back to the past, or sometimes even visualizing the future...what we could be." "What about the sad moments?" I asked softly. "Nobody wants to re-live those." "Maybe not, but that's the entirety of it," he answered, raising his hand to brush away the hair from my face before tucking it behind my ear. "There's always good in the bad, and bad in the good. Balance." His fingers trailed down my arm, sending shock waves through me. "Can I tell you something?" I asked softly. The corner of his lips curved upwards in a small smile. "You can tell me anything."

The Pain is all worth it. by MsZyzyDeme

My imperfect journey of maintaining God in our lives.

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy by Winchesters_united

The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.

INSEPARABLE LOVE by maraishonoret_

Originally Made: March 18, 2022 - November 3, 2022 You know how there's some companies that don't allow you to date anyone from work? Well for me I'm not allowed to date anyone from our competition. You might be wondering who's your competition. Let me introduce myself for a moment. My name is Y/N Arreaga, sister of Brandon Arreaga from a boy band name PRETTYMUCH. I'm two years older than him so that makes me 24 years old. We both work for the same company, Warner Records. The only difference is that he's an artist from there and I'm their tour manager. I get to boss him during tour which is why I accepted. Anyways, now that you know what company I work for. Now I can tell you who's our competitors and that would be Atlantic Records. Now falling in love with someone in that company can cause problems for both parties and honestly we don't care because what we have is 𝘐𝘕𝘚𝘌𝘗𝘌𝘙𝘈𝘉𝘓𝘌 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌.
