Guys

I've written this song few years ago and it was a rough then maybe I can get some Filipino critique who can dissect this one.

I include my translation hope some english speaking folks wants to know the content of the lyrics. Just a rough translation,

Here is the link in you tube.

(G Bm C ) Am D
SAan man ako magpunta

You still with me
You are my shield
Im cover up with your enchantment
Thank you Mom

Mom Thankyou
Thank you very much
For your infinite love
No one can reach it
Even if they think it deeply
And they cannot count it
Like the stars in vastness of space

Dude,

This song can make you <in>famous.

You have the guts to plagiarize Shamrock, KAPWA PINOY MO PA. Do your associates at A2M know you're a two-bit copycat?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XQaFAMqhLQ

For crying out loud, Lynman. I've told you you need to improve your songwriting, and plagiarizing another is NOT the right way to go.

TOny Bucu

Thanks for your visit. I knew I heard my chord rift from our local songs before but I cannot recall what song it is. Im glad you gave me the right songs the chord progression sounds like.

This is the wonders of online posting you can get opinions for further processing and refining. In fact my 2 partners cannot name what local songs when I asked them about it.

But dont worry my arrangement will be a different one. This is only a DEMO. If you associate it in the songs you mentioned the melody is very different, its like you comparing "bayabas" to "singkamas". Tell me do you read notes? DO you measure time signature? HOw about lyric writing of AAAB? Do you check my dynamics I used? If you trying to find a flaw in a demo this is the thing you to be nitty gritty about. HOw about the content of the lyrics? Any associations from the idea?

YOu dont accused here and destroying reputations. If I violate here like what you said plagiarizing or hijacking you can file it in our local intellectual property office. The way how youve written your comment seems that I earn a million dollars by plagiarizing that song.

I dont know if you are familiar with the chord clock or changing the key of your chord to fit in your voice. If you change the finger position in guitar the rift will also change.

If I play that in piano and give a different key hits it will also a different.

Actually the original chord progression of that song when I wrote the melody is 2 fret lower.

That is F Am B. I can make it 2 fret more lower if you want Eb Gm A. If you are in Nashville chord numerology that is I, IIIm, IV

Lastly I keep wondering why you keep listening to all of my songs and you keep saying you dont like my songwriting skills and I still need improvement.

Lynman

That's a LOAD OF BULL. "Alipin" is a POPULAR song. Even I, with my penchant for refusing to listen to the radio have heard it a few times.



More excuses.

If your two partners can't identify the song, maybe the lot of you should really STUDY songwriting first and go back to the basics.



What? Me? Worry? WHY?

It's you who needs to worry, Lynnie. I don't read notes, but I'm not deaf either. Also, I am not musically challenged like you are. If you are a true songwriter, you should already know that shifting the chords won't make any difference.

And you still need to improve your lyrics. A LOT. Aside from the fact that your lyrics hardly fit your chord pattern.

It's like you got the chords, and FORCED those lyrics onto it.



Ugh, Another thing you should improve. YOUR GRAMMAR.

And dude, at the rate you're going, you won't earn anything, especially if you hijack ideas all the time.



Unfortunately for you, no amount of changing keys will fit your voice.



Really now...



If you say so...



I think you should STUDY first what you're trying to teach me.



Oh, I wasn't really listening to your songs anymore, since they all sound the same, until someone pointed it out that you've plagiarized "Alipin." The thing is, in order for me to make an objective comment on the thread where it was originally posted, I was forced to listen to it.

But I am changing my advice, from "needs improvement" to "learn songwriting first."

Who knows? You might be better at technical songwriting, since you might be lacking the talent anyways, as well as that your main objective in writing songs is making money, you should invest in training workshops that offer shortcuts and techniques, rather than rely on something you might not really have.

BTW, lynman, my commenting here about your plagiarizing is not about you making big bucks. It's about the mere fact that you ARE plagiarizing.

Have a little delicadeza, if not self-respect.

Folks

My songwriter pal here offered this lyrics to me and he was inspired to this guy who is bugging me in the board.

Tony

YOU have a song already. DOnt worry Im inspired to make a melody I will post it in you tube and this one I will try to "hijacked" Home of Chris Daughtry.

GEt a life pathetic loser. REad your post word per word and see who is writing correct english. Aint fit for an editor loser. This is not the place to rant all of your SONGWRITING skills without a tinge of knowledge in reading notes. Everybody has ears even the deaf has one. That is why you dont hear the beauty of everything because you dont have HEART. YOu are not moved by certain people songs because what inside your heart is full of HATE.

Think if you hate someone even the best of his best even the angels in heaven can do no more. For you its a piece of crap.

Your attitude towards other musicians will not earn peers here. Maybe you earn one but later they will turn their back on you for fear of INOCULATING your bad karma to them.

That is my experience towards you. At first I believe you and your pathetic stories in our local music industry. NOw you see Im against you, and im burning bridges.

People will look for your character and when they google their name: TOny Bucu is the worst pathetic loser in the music industry. BEcause everything he touches turns into a sour deal.

So you are hiding in your "matanglawin" for fear of other people will recognized you.

YOu are old enough to grow up. Just like a dog who will never learn some new tricks. Just get a life, Heres your song.
Lynman

Too bad the lyrics is BAD.



Keep it up. Maybe hijacking is your way.

And please DO try to improve your grammar.



Ooooh. Correct English. Something you won't be doing, since correct grammar takes years of training.

And pardon me, NONE of your songs have heart, since you write songs for money.

Partida na, lasing pa ako niyan. My grammar is way better still.



I don't hate you lynnie. But, please do be aware of a little self-assessment. Your songs sound the same.



I don't believe in karma, and that's bad for you. Besides, I no longer consider you a a REAL songwriter.

Musician, well, maybe. Just, don't sing. Please.



You can burn ALL the bridges all you want. You started it the day you made a move behind me.

Please don't be all and mighty and righteous. I don't need you to believe my stories, but, right now, it doesn't really matter where I end up. I know the consequences of my actions.




Not really, Lynman. You see, I have a small following. And all of them know I'm the real deal, even though I refuse to be.




Who's hiding. Everyone who's attended the SN already know who matanglawin is.

Too bad for you, your name is equated in infamy. You're a PLAGIARIST.



Ugh. It HURTS, Grammar-stricken Doctor.



Is this your themesong for all those who crosses you and tells you just how bad a songwriter you are?

Okay...

Tony

So you are under the influence of alcohol while responding to my letter. Well thats explain your lost of reasoning and your hate flows like hell.

Ok I stop now seems that you feel depressed and hit some booze to increase your guts.

Lynman

No, Lynnie. I am NEVER under the influence of alcohol. I do not lose reason (nor my grammatical aptitude) even when I am "not sober."

Again, I don't hate you (and I am one who can no longer hate), so please stop portraying yourself as the victim.

Another advice, if your songs sounds the same as another, DITCH IT.



Sheesh, man. Are you really a doctor? Your grammar really hurts.

And sorry, I'm not depressed. I didn't drink because I was lonely.

If you are serious about "singing," here's another word (or two) of advice:

GET SOME VOICE LESSONS.

HiDee Brother M!

I was typin'..while you were Posting...sorry I missed you earlier today!

I've listened to the two songs you offered as "Exhibit A"...dunno what the Concept of either is, but Melodically/Meter-Wise/and even Intensity seems to be different between the Pair. So..I'd hesitate to yell "Plagarism"..& post such comments in-public..at least in the US..where there are all sorts of Lookin'-for-Work Lawyers available.

I've got no idea what the Content is here...but if one guy writes a Love Song & Another Guy pens a Love Song...so what?

Doc didn't describe "Who was bugging him" when I penned this Lyric...it's rather-Generic..for what a Jewish Guy'd call a "Schmuck". I don't consider you a Schmuck..from what little chat we've done..but..comments like "Lynnie can't write a good tune even if it kills him" aren't in The Spirit that this Music Biz really is into..ESPECIALLY this Site.

So..while I'm kinda regretful this Lyric's bein' used as a Rebuttal to you...it WAS penned as a bit of an Answer to the Dealing with Negative People most all of us Encounter in life.

It's one thing to give Positive Criticism to attempt to Improve on a Creation. It's Quite Another to be bullying & tear-down a guy's reputation..(on pretty flimsy ground...if these 2 songs are the best examples of what you base your negative Crits on.)

IF you're acquiring the Spirit "We're All In This Together", feel free to post some MP3s at the MP3 Board..or some English Language Lyrics Here..(since I don't often Listen..I'm more a Wordsmith/not a "Musician", tho I have fairly decent "Ears" after over half a Century of Listening-Carefully to "What Works".) (You wanta hear "Plagarism"..[UN-intentional]..listen to "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons...then "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison. Ended up in-court..Harrison Lost...then I heard he later got it reversed On-Appeal.) (Hey...Google "George Harrison Plagarism Suit"..it's fascinating Insight..& LOTS more-complicated than I ever Dreamed~)

Bottom Line: Get Friendly. It's Contagious.

Best Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug,
Stan

Stan,

why is it that Lynman is posting what you have supposedly written?

At any rate, let me respond to this point by point.



Up to which point do we yell plagiarism?

The contention here is, The reference song IS A POPULAR SONG that was played in our local radio stations quite frequently, when it was released, and still after.

Lynman's excuse? He hasn't heard the reference songs before, and neither did his two "partners."

Come on. Even a small child old enough to sing is able to sing and recall that song.



The "content" is not in contention. Lynman copied the chords and pattern of the reference song.



But, HE CAN'T, sad to say. I gave him positive advice before when I met him. I cited that he uses the same melodic patterns over and over again. But Lynman is not one who accepts criticisms/critiques very well regardless if it's positive or negative. Another member can attest to that.

I'm not really worried, I know and accept the consequences of my actions, but by doing this, I'm helping Lynman AVOID being in trouble, and inform other people of what he's doing.



No regrets, Stan. The song doesn't affect me, since it doesn't reflect who I am.

But, I wasn't being sarcastic when I commented that the Lyrics is bad.



As I mentioned, I've given him sound advice. I've been writing songs for more than 20 years now. I'm a professional songwriter. I don;t need to tear his reputation down, he's doing quite a good job of that himself, especially here in Manila.



I have posted on the MP3 reviews. I've had at least 3 songs there, and have contributed on other threads as well. I have also not used the word "composer" to describe myself.



Nip it at the bud, as I always say. I've had tunes that I later found out to have distinct similarities to other songs. I ditch them a-hora mismo.



I think that's an advice you should give Lynman. He's alienated quite a few of us here in Manila, especially with how he presents himself as a "seasoned" songwriter.

WEll Im a professional Doctor. I earned from that profession and this is my bread and butter. You want to know how much I earned from that profession alone? Go and visit our BIR you will see how much Im paying for my income tax. You dont need a good grammar skill to be a doctor. Thats why I prefer to be in the field of science because english is my weakness ever since I was a kid. If Im good in english probably i pursue law. Dont worry im doing something about it. My weakness in english grammar is just only few that is why I stay here rather than in our local music forum. So far I gained a lot of pals here also co writer too. Im glad even my grammar is poor they still understand me. I guess language is like song there is no barriers.

Im also a professional arranger. How many songs that I arranged and produced since I started my profession in the music biz? Sorry I lost in counting I still have more to come. Have my arranged songs reap an award? Just the recent Phildigiawards also where one of your precious 2 songs are also in for that contest. The whole album where majority of my arranged songs are there including this song composed by one of the FILSCAP member Atty Dizon entitled Kailan Pa Kaya that gains a lot of respect from OFW. I was paid for arranging that and I still receiving royalties for producing that single song alone.

Im a professional songwriter too. One of my written jingle was used by this drug company long before we formed our company. You know how much they pay me for that? Secret... 7 digit brother... higher that 30k.

Im a singer too. Professional? Not yet my earnings from singing is not enough yet to buy a brand new house. Thats my standard. Isn't that you mentioned that I dont know how to sing? You even told me that I dont know how to write a song. Hey boy look my award in Phildigi. "Best Independent Solo Artist". I think you are not even nominated on that. Both our songs are there in fact you have 2 songs while me just 1. So whos now with credibility?

I dont need to enroll in music school. I was a member of high school music chorale and the group performed in so many important events in the past here in caloocan city. My "expertise" in that field can propel me to any dreams what I wanted to be. I really value your opinion i hope it is your opninion not a sarcastic remark but in the recent contest you lost to me.

Ive been in television twice for the said song. So who are you to claim that I dont have a talent? If I dont have a talent this esteemed channel will not air my performance. Are you the highest paid artist here? or even an A and R in certain record company?

Do you received any schooling for critiquing other people performances? Seem you are the "expert" on that when you critique our album especially my songs, unfortunately you have no credentials to back you up. Hey you can get it in PRC. But you have to passed the Board Exam.

Your sharp ear is not enough to say that I copied this songs and claim to the whole world that I infringe someone. TEll me how many songs youve written in your entire life? Brother for me this is my life. Everyday I listen to alot of songs from unknown songwriters and imagine we are dealing with 12 notes do you think there is a chance I might copy their songs. YOu are a fool. Why should I copy where I can make a better one. I can write in few minutes. Got tons of songs in my computer where I was the writer.

Do you have some units in intellectual copyright law? The way you talk in our local forums especially here seems YOU are the "expert". Brother, your little learning is a dangerous thing. READ your books pls... Also you must pass the bar exam. By the way I havent even saw your name in the recent examination results. Oh I forgot, you need to go to law school first before you are allowed to take the bar exam. Then when you passed it now you can talk and give your "professional" opinion not your personal opinion or personal experience that you are doing right now. We value professional opinion especially in public forum like this. OK.

YOu dont say hey listen to this Lynman has no delicadeza he copied this song and blah blah blah you will go to jail blah blah blah.

Have you received any award from the past related to music?
If I were you go back to your songs and polished it. Try to compress your vocals and put some reverb it will do good for your song and you will thank me for that. YOur performance in singing that song especially the english one is full of mediocrity. This is my opinion only so dont worry I may be wrong but I might be right. Remember I got an award. So my leverage in comparing your song against mine has an advantage over you.

LAstly you are the one who dont know what DAW means. Im sorry I dont want to debate on this you are too ignoramous in music production. You dont even know how to balanced and mix your song thats is why you dont get an award.

PS. if you want to answer my letter pls dont copy it and put it in your own message and post it anywhere. I will file a case of infringement if you do that. YOu have no permission to quote me.

Lynman

PhilDigi?
Our music video won Best MTV, but we didn't bother to attend.
Who else knew about the PhilDigi event other than the nominees? (heck, I was a nominee and I didn't even know about it).

Ask a person on the street if they've heard of Phildigi - 99 out of 100 will say no. Wait, with Metro Manila's population, 99,999 out of 100,000 will say no.

Call a radio station, say, Chico and Delamar on RX, or the Boys Night Out Boys on TM, and ask if they've heard of Phildigi - I'd guarantee they'll say no.

I know how the winners won on Phildigi - sad to say, not all of it is because of "talent".

I'm not dissing PhilDigi - it's a startup. But I won't go around brandishing my Phildigi award and act as if I've won the Grammies. Or American Idol.

Oh, and if a company wants to pay 7 digits for a jingle, shouldn't they have paid somebody like Ryan Cayabyab, or say, Gary Granada? Heck, for 7 digits, they could've gotten somebody like Sting (including the airfare).

Oh, and 30,000 (if that is true) has 5 digits, unless you count the 2 decimal places.

My oh my, I posted this LAST NOVEMBER, and you replied just now because you "won an award" to which you voted for yourself.



Aren't ALL doctors professional by default? You're a doctor of what again?

I shudder at the thought of a doctor INCORRECTLY making a diagnosis because of SHODDY grammar. My, you must be paying a premium with your malpractice insurance. And I'm pretty sure that if all REAL doctors say that, the human race is in big trouble. You're a disgrace to the profession just by saying that.

For the record, I don't have perfect grammar. Nobody has. But yours is downright atrocious.

And, I beg to know what being a doctor has to do with music and songwriting.



Too bad, being "professional" in the music industry require only you be paid for services. Your song gets recorded and you get paid, you're a pro.

But hey, you're a pro arranger who DOESN'T EVEN KNOW what a D.A.W. is.

And what about PhilDigi? You won because of TXT votes. Have you won or placed in competitions, say like THE TANGHALAN NG KAMPEON?



We all have our delusions, but wow! 7 digits higher than 30K. And I was offered six digits for the RIGHTS of Don't Fall. I told the guy, sorry, I'm not prepared to sell what's left of my soul. It's NEVER been about the money.

But I know for certain that you would. Any Tom, Dick and Harry has claimed they've slept with a supermodel, so, I wouldn't really take it against you with your claim.

If it's true though, come clean as to which drug company it is, and what jingle it was, so we can VERIFY the veracity of your claim.

As I said, you get paid a fee, you're a pro. Too bad it doesn't really make your songwriting any better.

Has ANY of your songs been selected in REAL labels and actually paid royalties? A couple of mine have.



What credibility? Have you gone to PhilMusic lately? (It's rhetorical, I actually know you've been lurking) Have you read those posts against you, just because of what YOU have done and posted?

Best independent artist? I wonder how much you've spent on VOTING FOR YOURSELF. I didn't even bother posting in your celebratory thread thread at SPh, because it's not worth the time.

And please. I'm not even sure if voice lessons and training will fix your voice.



Sauce, Lynman. You DO NEED TO ENROLL in a music school. YOU NEED FURTHER TRAINING. Even Lea Salonga, during her Miss Saigon stint, continued with voice lessons and training because of the nature of theater. Don't tell me you're better than she is that you don't need to to eroll in a music School. Your voice, for one, is TERRIBLE.

Like what Simon Cowell will say, with accent and all, "You sound like a Karaoke performer."

I didn't lose to you. By default, ALL the entries were finalist. I didn't win because I DIDN'T BOTHER TO VOTE NOR CAMPAIGN FOR MY ENTRIES because I was very busy at the time. I joined to gauge if good songs will win WITHOUT txt voting.

Don't ridicule yourself by comparing your "award-winning" entry to any of mine. My songs come from the heart, they "write themselves," while yours are forced, driven by the need to be famous and make money. My worst song can best your best song any day.



Ooooh. Like everyone else who's ever been in Television. the proverbial 15 minutes. It DOESN'T make you at par with REAL professionals.

And, if you are an A&R, I shudder even more.



And where is your diploma in music? That one you got from "the school of hard knocks?"

Fortunately for me, the QUALITY of my songs are enough. I studied music in Highschool, I was a member of several choirs. I don't know how to read music, but it doesn't mean I don't UNDERSTAND music. I strive everyday to understand it further, to understand it enough, just so I don;t look stupid in discussions. And when I don;t know something, I shut up first, then look it up later.

Don't ask a me a question that can be shot back right at you. I assure you, I can write better, UNFORCED songs any day.



Sure Lyman. You didn't copy Shamrock's "Alipin" riff.



Do you?



And I'm a PROFESSIONAL songwriter, longer than you can ever claim to be one. I have given you my professional opinion, but, you're too into yourself to listen. I am knowledgeable in copyright law, because I was once a victim of infringement.

This is what my lawyer told me during the course of my case; "IGNORANCE OF THE LAW EXCUSES NO ONE." It's a good thing I wasn't "that" ignorant when I was younger. I had proof the song is mine. I had a LIVE RECORDING of it during the Tanghalan ng Kampeon FINALS.



OH, I didn't say that, someone else did. I just carried on the torch and added the "delicadeza" part, since you OBVIOUSLY have none. I'm an advocate of ORIGINALITY. I've ditched a few songs of mine that sounded the same with other existing songs.

You don't even have the delicadeza to accept that mistake and even carried on with "I haven't heard of Alipin."



I won 2nd Place in TnK 1990, judged by Danny Tan and the Maestro, Ryan C. I've won another Songwriting competition earlier than that. Does that qualify?

And, like Darius, I'm not dissing PhilDigi. It's an opportunity to spread my "wings," but I was aware I had to work for it much harder than I can afford to "win." I wasn't prepared to spam my relatively small network and bother them with "vote me," though I did put it on my sig for a short time. I'm also not prepared to vote for myself.



Don't teach me something you can't even achieve. Pound per pound, so to speak, my demos still sound better than your final.



No, Lynman. A Digital Audio Workstation is NOT the free trial software packaged with the interface you were trying to selling rather pricey even if it was a year old. A D.A.W. is the hardware/software setup. That's what the WORKSTATION means.

Without the hardware, IT'S NOT A DAW.

You claim to be a doctor. I STUDIED engineering. I can verily say I know MORE than you do in the technical aspects even if I give you a headstart with google.

And mind your "expert opinions" in the threads here. An experienced and well-versed individual can see through your deception.



Go ahead, but you don't even know when you're being infringed, and that's how I know you don't know anything about the subtle nuances of the copyright law.

I don't need your permission so as long as I QUOTE you, much as you copy a link of something you like and post it elsewhere. I <sigh> give credit to your posts, grammatically challenged and all. I don't and will not claim your posts to be mine own, since I write better than you do.

Unlike you I don't hijack ideas, and I don't know if it's fortunate for you, you don't have any ideas worth hijacking.

It's all in the essence of setting things straight.




*Reposted by Matanglawin. Unless I'm found guilty of violating board rules, you CANNOT EDIT my posts. Requesting not to be quoted in a DISCUSSION BOARD is down right IDIOTIC.

Sorry I removed my quote in your letter.

I read very fast and most of the time my mind thinks very fast that why i dont like reading again what I posted it makes me dizzy and sometimes my mind think that you wrote those quotes.

Anyway you know I really appreciate your time answering my letter word per word.

I am a doctor a general practioner. I treat mostly poor people for free who cant afford to seek treatment to pay doctors. I am not a disgraced to my profession brother for writing such this wrong grammar letter. WE doctors are blessed with high "COMPREHENSSION". WE read books most of the time until now. New medicines are being made, new studies, new skills. This is our way of life and sometimes writing is not my forte because why should I bother where there is someone better than me to write what s on my mind and fine tuned it. This is what you call delegation of duties. We are taught the ethics how to say things to other people might hurt them. We prefer to be hurt and not to hurt somebody.

Have I encounter malpractice in the past??? I cant remember. You know we are doctors not GOD. Sometimes we cannot save dying people we cannot prolong their life probably not at the moment but for sure in the future we are doing our best to improve human lives.

I dont need malpractice insurance. Its just a protection from your patient. You see if Im wrong I will absorbed that mistakes. Only the surgeons are vulnerable on that thing. And no malpractice in wrong grammar. Wrong spelling in medication has one but the punishment is very light.

Im glad you accepted your weakness in grammar too. Congrats we all humans so dont fret to it especially on me.

I dont have delusion. I know how to diagnosed patient with delusions an there are several types too and based on my criteria, I dont have anyone of it.

Lastly, I dont lurk in Philmusic forum and songwriterPH. I think you put that humiliation on me on that forum on your signature page here. Probably some folks do visit the signature or probably you just inflating it to look like im the bad guys here. Since you started to hit below the belt over there I packed my things never go back again.

Ok congrats you an engineer. An engineer of what? Do you make road tracks, copper wire tracks, foundation tracks, digital logic tracks or music tracks?

Hey are you professional on that field? You can get it at PRC. You know where PRC is just near at UST and FEU. But again you have to pass the board exam. Oh I forgot again you have to finished a 4 to 5 year course in certain schools.

It so easy to claim you are an engineer. I can consider myself an engineer too. "A genetic engineer". Mind you brother I still have time to study that field. Just wait before I finished my masteral degree in molecular biology.

By the way I have two license in PRC you can check it. one is RMT the other is my MD.
If you feel I violated you or gave you pain in the past you can go there and you can have my license revoked.

Im not going to sue you brother for copying my letter just a trick. Remember Im a doctor I hate to give pain to others especially to your kids if you lose in the case and suffered all the damages you incurred to me especially the accusations of plagiarizing. Probably in the future when you have a rich supporter who supports all your works. Or when I run for public office in the future. I will hire someone just to pursue your guts. Because all my detractors in the future will all boils down to you.

So you feel you are Simon. Ok probably your sarcastic remarks can earn you to stardom. Why dont you make your own TV program like american Idol. Sorry you are not effective the moment you pitch your attitude you will be flushed immediately the moment you open you mouth.

Im sorry the one you posted in the contest is just a demo. My apology I though that is the master one.

Next time send it to the EXPERT. before you submit to a certain contest

Im sorry also for you are victim of infringement. Did you file a case already? You know where to file I show you the way. You can file also your disputes to me that I HIJACKED your thoughts. Gee I felt Im the famous Licauco the one who read minds. Got a super power LOL.

Congratulations for winning the award youve mentioned. Show us the links. I have no time to google it. Oh you can post the images of the trophy you have here if you cannot find it.

So now we are even. I realized we are both pro like your pal. But hey Im just a newbie if we are going to compare your years and years in the industry im just a kid. So no bullying. The more you bully the kid the more stronger he become.

REgarding the DAW now you speaking in technical terms. Im glad youve read my link.

You always tweak mistakes in every post I made. Why dont you tweak your song instead. I agree before you call DAW the hardware and the software must be together. Common if you say software can software runs without the computer? Its a understanding if you say DAW you say cubase, ableton, cakewalk without the computer becasue it is a common thought that you will upload that thing to a computer to make it work. The one im selling in other forum can run even without the DAW. You just loved destroying me in front of our peers. You dont even have interest in buying it so why bother in what you called my "false advertisement."

Finally there is no way this conversations will set to straight path because theres this old saying dogs are very hard to teach some new tricks especially the older one. Unfortunately Im not the old dogs in this thread.

Ps This is the how to write letters. Because doing cut and paste is so easy pls dont abuse it. Again this is my request no quotes.

Lynman

Lynman,

Why do you think there's a QUOTE button. It's the reason why it's called a DISCUSSION. Better read up on moderatorhip 101. You're the one ABUSING your "power".

Please DO NOT EDIT my posts. You don't have MY permission since we're in a discussion, and I am NOT in violation of ANY forum rules. If you don't want to be quoted, especially since your wrong at every turn and it reveals your misconception and ignorance, STOP POSTING.

I won't bother pointing out your grammatical errors. there's one in every sentence



And as a moderator you should UNDERSTAND that you're abusing your power. Unless I'm violating any board rules, YOU CANNOT EDIT MY OR ANYONE ELSE'S POST.



The QUOTES differentiates your posts from mine. That's what it is for. If you're getting confused, you have no business posting nor moderating.

That's why you miss a lot of things. You read very fast.



Not word for word, but point by point. And I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for me and everyone else so each of your misconceptions and errors show through.



I assure you, aside from your grammar and spelling your comprehension STINKS. In America and other parts of the globe, a SINGLE SPELLING MISTAKE, can SPELL the difference between life and death. I'm not a doctor and I'm aware of this. How IRRESPONSIBLE for you to think otherwise.



My mistake. You're in the Philippines. And you're a general practitioner in a clinic.



<Sigh>

People should be warned. You're taking medical mistakes very lightly.



Sorry, but never in my post did I say I have weak grammar, please stop putting words into my mouth.

I said, and quote myself "For the record, I don't have perfect grammar. Nobody has. But yours is downright atrocious."

And you claim to have good comprehension.

Yes, and you should really look in the mirror.



No. I'm posting it WORD FOR WORD. Your words. I'm not here to inflate the issue. I'm here to CLARIFY it.

Mind you, It wasn't I who pummeled you there.



COMPREHENSION. I said I STUDIED engineering. Basic Engineering is universal. Engineers do not make roads, they design them. Sound engineers don't make music or music tracks, they "design" tracks and clean sound.

Please stop using terms as if you understand them.



Non-sequitur. But I STUDIED electrical engineering at Mapua, where I had electronics and sound engineering as part of the curriculum. When will you get that in music, being a professional is not the same as being an expert? There are a lot of professional songwriters, but there are no expert ones.



Oh, so you can make music with genetic engineering now?

Okay...



If you say so, but, what does that have to do with music again?



Why? Does the PRC penalize doctors who write poor songs?



What I'm telling you, Lynman, is you CAN'T sue me for anything. If you understood the LAW to begin with, you wouldn't have made a hasty statement. I'm NOT copying anything from you since I am MERELY QUOTING YOUR POSTS, thereby crediting you. I don't want people to think that my grammar is poor.

And unlike you, I don't hope for a rich benefactor. I've produced music all on my own from my own meager resources. I'm also not your detractor. In fact, I hardly need to do anything, since you're doing a good job of damaging yourself each and every time you open your trap.

I've actually stopped posting here, if you noticed. But, ever since you "won" that award, your baby teeth grew teeth.



Hehehe. This is so stupid, I won't even dignify it with a proper response.



Oh, you haven't heard my "demos" as of late. I assure you, they're ways off better than your final.



You mean like you?

No thanks. I'm not an expert, I won't claim to be one, but I know more about music and sound engineering than you do. I understand sound since I've studied wave kinematics in college.

And, again, I didn't win, because I didn't make an effort to vote for myself.



Denial is NOT a river in Africa. And please, stop saying sorry when you clearly have no emotion about what happened to me. I got infringed because I have a GOOD song. And you hijacked my thoughts when you wrote those items in PM.



No links, TnK ended back before the internet in the Philippines was fully established, my trophy and plaque is back somewhere at Malabon, probably got lost during the great flood of the 90s.

I don't need to show you any proof, though. Unlike you, my word is my credibility. Unlike you, I don't open my trap unless I have something worthwhile to say.



We're hardly even, Lynnie. Please do not equate your PDA with my Likhang Awit. I won that contest. You voted for yourself. HUGE difference .

And I'm not bullying you, I don't have to since you pummel yourself each time your respond, and you're hardly getting "any stronger" each time you reply.



Don't claim credit when it's not yours to claim, and please STOP diverting.



Oh, but I continually tweak my songs to make it better. But I can verily say no amount of tweaking can make your songs any better since they a POORLY WRITTEN and forced to begin with.

Even if I don't speak i technical terms, the DAW is the Hardware. Stop promoting your ignorance by continually saying it isn't so, thatthe DAW is the same as the software. Software cannot run without hardware, but hardware can run ANY software. That's why it's called a DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION because it won't be a WORKSTATION without the THE WORKSTATION.

As for "tweaking" your mistakes, there's no hope for you. I don't regard your grammatical mistakes as mistakes any longer.



Only idiots believe that adage. Old dogs still learn new tricks, but, it's a good thing I'm NOT a dog.

And, I've always been on the straight path, mainly because I don't COPY anyone's riff and deny it later on. You're traversing a crooked one.



A moderator who doesn't know the functions of a discussion board and how it works, as well as an arranger who doesn't know what a DAW is.

PS

We're IN a discussion forum. you can request not to be quoted, but the quote button is there for a purpose. We're not writing "personal" emails, and, even in emails, the original email is always wrapped in quotes.

I didn't cut and paste your post, I CLICKED on the quote button.

And, before I forget, Doc, since you've conveniently took it out of the DISCUSSION which jingle is it that earned you big bucks "years ago" and which drug store <ugh> licensed it from you?

Since it was years ago, any NDAs you have signed should no longer be effective. So, disclosure shouldn't be an issue.

You see, I don't need to lie about placing second in TnK LH, and I don't need to show proof either, because I was there. But you do, since what you claimed to have done, is very dubious.

This is pretty easy to verify. I think I know the guy who won 1st- his name is Rene Berdan, Jr - the son of our bosses. He's easy to contact. He's a doctor, a good one.

Small world, man.

I remember Rene and his song "If by Chance" interpreted by Rachel Alejandro. He and I were neck in neck, I believe, since it took the judges a long time to arrive at a decision. I drooled over the Piano he won as part of the prize.

Most of my stuff pertaining to that part of my life was probably lost in one of the floods at Malabon. I'm not sure if my sister kept the pictures though.

I would appreciate it very much if you can hook us up...

Will do. His father, Rene Sr., used to work with us in a refinery in the early '90s. Rightfully very proud of his son. The guy seems pretty humble too, unlike some "doctors" we know.

BTW, this is another example of a person who, even though he had potential, "left" music because he had other things to do - like being an anesthesiologist and a family man.

Very humble, indeed. Strange though, since I remember the three of us who won were all in the same room before the contest, and we all prayed together.

He deserved to win first place, since his song was indeed better than mine, especially when I think about it now.

But, I still wanted the piano.



The reality of it is much more painful than the fantasy underlying it.

You guys really took my posts seriously.

Ok end of conversations you guys win Im the wannabe here, fake and a great pretender. But Im still the moderator of this board. Just an ordinary folks from the Philippines. Just a nobody with no musical experience from the past.

So are you happy now?

So Im going to draw a line here. If you dont like my attitude especially my abuse of moderatorship well there are so many music forum than you can do your power tripping.

If you really hate my grammar well you can build your own music forum and choose your members wisely by subjecting them to IQ test and require them to submit essays to check their grasps in english language.

Anyway thanks to matanglawin my first victim for your invaluable comment with free infringement case filed somewhere. Thanks for your internet time. Also to darius I took your time for this instead in some productive songwriting hobby you have you still choose to stay here and answer my posts.

REgards to both you may you have a very successful carreer that you may call in the future.

Lynman

We weren't supposed to?


Don't be a sore loser now.



Was this about us?



Scary, Lynnie. But, since you've admitted you're abusing your powers as a mod, it is clear YOU are the one power tripping.

Get it right.



We don't hate your grammar, Lynnie, despite it being undesirable, but clear you miss the point of the VALUE of having proper grammar, especially since you claim to be a doctor.



It's a good thing what you just wrote isn't a medical diagnosis...



Oh, we're not too worried about our "careers." But, you should be.

Thanks Matang. No need to answer my post. Dont waste your time here talking to some pretender. Concentrate in your project here. People expects more from you.

Oh please, STOP patronizing us.

Windows started having multi-tasking capabilities in 1994. MAC has been capable of this forever. Or maybe you're not aware that you can do several things at once.

He gets confused easily when doing several things. Remember, he's "requested" that he be not quoted, because he gets confused reading his own posts all over again, even though the are wrapped in quotes.
