Gold Membership Overview
A Gold membership on SingSnap costs $7 per month or $70 if you prefer to pay annually. Here are all the benefits you get as a Gold member...

Gold Membership Benefits
1. Stereo!
As a Gold member you will get stereo backing tracks when recording your song. Then, when the recording is saved, your voice will be mixed together with the stereo music to create a stereo recording!

2. Additional Songs!
Every Friday we release songs that are exclusive to Gold members. Don't miss out, become a Gold member to ensure you always have access to our complete library of songs.

3. No Advertisements!
As a Gold member you'll get a completely advertising free website.

4. Key Changer!
Change the key of songs during recording to better accomodate your voice. You can pitch shift two half steps up or two half steps down from the original. This functionality could open up a whole new world for you!

5. Inner Circles!
Want to share recordings with only a friend or two? Want to keep a recording private for the purpose of creating a duet? If so, "Inner Circle" is the feature you're looking for. It lets you create lists of friends on SingSnap that you can then share your recordings with.

6. Playlists!
Create playlists from your favorite recordings and listen to them continuously. You can also listen to playlists other members have created.

7. Full Screen!
One of the buttons that will be unlocked for you as a Gold member is the full screen ("FS") button in the player. Clicking it brings up the video in full screen on your computer bringing a new dimension to your listening on SingSnap.

8. Status Updates!
Let other SingSnappers know what you're doing by showing your online status and by setting a personalized text message that will show up in various places on the site. As a Gold member you can also see the online status of all members of SingSnap.

9. More Nominations!
Isn't it hard to choose just 10 recordings to nominate for the Hall of Fame?! As a Gold member you get 50 nominations, making it a little easier to nominate all those great recordings you've found.

10. Your Name In Gold!
Once you're a Gold member you will be recognized as such on the site which means your screen name will always be in a gold color and you will receive more prominent positioning on the site in general.

No, it was a request from a member in another thread to have the list presented to them and a request from Connie that it be done in a new thread. :)

Well yes.

It could have gone directly to 'them' via a text message, or maybe under miscellaneous.

Posting it on this board ought to invite discussion ... don't you think?

I shall discuss

Gold Membership Benefits
1. Stereo!
I can take it or leave it actually. I'll attempt a recording in stereo first, but my settings always seem to change without me touching them, but the good news about that is, you can always go straight back to mono if you don't like it!!

2. Additional Songs!
This week, I flagged 11 songs that I like..doesn't mean I'll sing all of them, but I love getting the option of being able to record them if I want to!

3. No Advertisements!
Bliss!!

4. Key Changer!
One of my favourite Gold features! I have no way of doing this unless I was Gold, so for me, it's a Godsend!!

5. Inner Circles!
Another of my favourite features! So easy to prepare duets for contests this way, or share a recording with a special person (or more ) without the whole world knowing what you're up to ;)

6. Playlists!
I haven't done many of these, although I think it's a great way of being able to listen and still get on with the housework! Unfortunately, I'm too nosey to see what people are up to on cam. or like spamming the song too much to use them often!!

7. Full Screen!
I have used this when there's a really good vid that I want to get 'up and personal' on ;)

8. Status Updates!
Yep! Another goodie! One purely for fun, and there have been so many people's status lines that I have roared my head off laughing to, as well as some that I have been directed to songs or threads because of.

9. More Nominations!
I have to admit that the HOF doesn't interest me at all. but for those that it does, this is a great way to be able to give praise to those songs that you think deserve to be there

10. Your Name In Gold!
Umm..

lol

I shall also discuss then, since I won't be the 1'st blabbermouth. ;-)

1. Stereo!
Too much trouble.

2. Additional Songs!
Sometimes there are a couple for me, but there are always some for somebody. :-)

3. No Advertisements!
Excellent (although I liked the lonely wives' ads)

4. Key Changer!
No - I have a better one.

5. Inner Circles!
I don't have one myself, but some that I am a member of, are aces. :-)

6. Playlists!
I'm too much of a blabbermouth for this one.

7. Full Screen!
Yeah! When u want it, you want it, right?

8. Status Updates!
The best gold feature! :-)

9. More Nominations!
Naww - I'm more selective than 50.

10. Your Name In Gold!
Blue sets off my eyes better. :-)

11. Supporting a fine site that gave it all to me for free for a long time.
Yes please. :-)

Reply by walkingstickGOLD on November 30, 2008 at 7:48 PM

walkingstick is thankful for friends, a home, a good job, a good life. hny!!!

Me too I'll discuss:

1 - Stereo sound. I'm finally getting the hang of this but often is is a pain in the you know what, especially with Simon and Garfunkle songs where sync is really important.


2 - Additional songs - so far I have been decidedly unimpressed with the new songs and find that I have sung very few of them because they are either songs we already had or songs I don't know by singers I don't know. If I find one or two songs on the list of 50 each week to get excited about, it is highly unusual.

3 - No ads - I can used adblocker so this is no biggy for me

4 - Key changer - LOVE IT

5 - Inner Circles - very handy

6 - Playlists? It's a good thing.

7 - Full Screen - hardly use it so no biggy for me

8 - Status updates - kind of fun but I could live without them too.

9 - More Nominations to Hall of Fame - Don't care. Hall of Fame is a farce.

10 - Name in Gold - no big deal. Who really cares?

Gold Membership Benefits
1. Stereo!
Stereo, works fine for me. I have no problems with it, other than I can't use my reverb, which I do anyways LOL.


2. Additional Songs!
I always find anywhere from 5 to 20 songs, sometimes 25 lol, each friday.
Sure, not everyone is going to know songs but they are trying. At least to me they are.

3. No Advertisements!
I don't have a problem with them. When I was blue, they didn't bother me. I could have downloaded a pop-up blocker but I don't like to clutter my computer unless it is absolutely necessary LOL.


4. Key Changer!
I don't use it often but when I do, it works for me. I also have one that I downloaded for free but it does not work with the SS player. So having downloaded it for FREE does nothing for this program.

5. Inner Circles!
I have yet to use this, only because, I don't have anyone special here that I feel the need to keep things private for LOL. Tho, I have heard that MANY use it frequently. ;)

6. Playlists!
This feature, I use on a daily basis. I LOVE IT! I can program the songs I want and listen as I do chores.

7. Full Screen!
THis I have yet to use. I am already a big girl, don't wish to see me any bigger LOL. NOR anyone else LOL. Now, if my eyesight was to go, this would be good. If I can't find my glasses, this would work as well LOL.

8. Status Updates!
Another thing I love, the status updates! This rocks! LOL

9. More Nominations!
This does nothing for me as well cus I don't frequent the HOF. I have nominated a few people/songs but not many. I am very picky LOL. I am sure that to those that frequent the HOF, they will put this feature to good use.

10. Your Name In Gold!
I prefer being RED ;)

Oh Mal, I did not mean to say you could not discuss it, I just meant, I did not post it to be a meat head or to cause an issue. An explanation of why I posted it not to tell you you could not discuss it. Sorry for the confusion and at the risk of having something thrown at my head by Mandy, I had a blonde moment.

Monique has a new ic song.. tan you wanted natural?

Gold Membership Benefits

1. Stereo!

Too time consuming. Don't use.

2. Additional Songs!

I have gone weeks and not known any of the new songs. Neither here nor there for me.

3. No Advertisements!

They never bothered me and some are quite funny.

4. Key Changer!

I use this feature a lot.

5. Inner Circles!

My one and only reason for being gold (tho I am not gold by my doing.. I was sponsered. I let my gold expire intentionally. I just don't use it enough.) Inner Circle allows me to do videos and decide who I want to view them.


6. Playlists!
I have some, but don't use them much. I can't hear the music if I step away from my computer, so then, what's the point?

7. Full Screen!

I've never used it and think it's a bit creepy to see someone that huge on my screen.

8. Status Updates!
Very cute and a nice way to let people know when I've done a new IC video, but I can live without it.

9. More Nominations!
HOF interests me even less than the feature page. And that's saying something. HOF means as much as all those cute and paste comments.

10. Your Name In Gold!
I don't care what colour my name is.


Hmm gold really isn't worth it to me.

Novella sees your . and raises you an !

1. Stereo!

Yeah, won't work - don't bother.

2. Additional Songs!
Never know any.

3. No Advertisements!
I use ad-blocker too but it's nice on the rare occasion I do use Chrome or IE.

4. Key Changer!
Yes, love this one.

5. Inner Circles!
Absolutely love this feature. Main reason I "need" to stay Gold.

6. Playlists!
Never use it. Adds too many plays to songs.

7. Full Screen!
Yah, I use it sometimes :)

8. Status Updates!
haha, Ironically.. Turned out to be the cutest things ever. LOVE them.

9. More Nominations!
No use.

10. Your Name In Gold!
It's not, so I dunno bout that! ;)

--
Gold would always be worth it for me for the InnerCircles.

Though some live vocal effects, more fancy video effects, and increased pitch change would be even better :)

1. Stereo!
Apart from a few teething probs at the start(and I have vista and a realtek sound card!) I love stereo, in fact it makes go weak at the knees through it's brilliance!


2. Additional Songs!
This is possibly the main bug bear for a lots of people, some of the additions are a bit baffling at times and for us "veterans" it is frustrating to wait to get the songs we lost back after the "big LIC purge"

3. No Advertisements!
couldn't give a monkeys about ads.


4. Key Changer!
I think I have used it once, I am perfectly capable of ruining any song in it's normal key thanks!

5. Inner Circles!
Only used this once as well, I make my songs available for all, for what it's worth.

6. Playlists!
I like this, you can have all your faves playing away merrily whilst you go about your life!

7. Full Screen!
don't really use this at all.

8. Status Updates!
Only good for when I can think of something amusing to say, which isn't very often.

9. More Nominations!
HOF means nothing to me, but i do nominate people who deserve to be on it but never are.

10. Your Name In Gold!
I am a teal person, and jolly nice it is too!
