Just taking a quick look at the comments (I’ve reached my limit on free access) its amazing how much hostility there is towards musicians. Goofball libertarian concepts trying to pose as “new ways” to look at creating
I started looking at a new computer 1 year ago and talked to a lot of resources.I was lucky to find a builder Fundamental AV that delivered a 16 core 3.4ghz with64gb memory 4 ssd’s but the main thing was they installed all of my main software for me. The computer arrived with 90% of the software I use like Steinberg, N.I Komplete, IK, Waves all ready to go. This was truly an amazing experience, worth the extra money to me
I’m in the same boat right now. I want to send links to my individual songs to people who need to hear. I had a Godaddy website that would only allow linking to a page and I’d have to tell the target recipient to find the song. I wanted better and dont want to use Soundcloud as its been a source of piracy. I asked around including here and was told that a Wix site could do this. I just went live with my site and now I find out that Wix cant do this at all.

Im sitting here stunned , since I wasted time and money and still cant get the most basic functionality. I’m sure that ,like most folks here, customer service isnt always that important since most things are fairly apparent , but Wix is lacking almost all human contact. I should have stayed with Godaddy and it looks like Soundcloud is in my future
I have a similar question.I currently have my tracks on a site I built on Godaddys builder platform. The problem is , their music player only links to a page, not a song so it can be confusing for the less than tech savvy. I dont want to use Soundcloud as I’ve known someone who had her songs stolen there. I want to host my new tracks where they wont get any public exposure apart from links I send out as I dont want ideas pilfered.I just looked to see if Soundcloud offered anything private and secure ,but dont see anything.
Any ideas on a good place I can turn to?
Never mind..I hadnt noticed that my membership is regional. Its curious that my 2 detections are outside the US
I’ve had Tunesat paid account for about a year and have been looking at the same 2 detections. I logged in yesterday and found a new detection that I would have to pay for.I cant believe this. I’ve only got 30 tracks with them.I sent a support ticket for clarification
I’m coming to the point that we have to decide and I’m looking for any additional opinions on this? Two of us are ASCAP…would there be a viable strategy for the 3rd to be BMI? Seems like it would be a natural cross check?
Thanks for the response. I know that we CAN all belong to different PROS but Im wondering if there is any advantage to having one in BMI vs all of us in ASCAP.Spreading it out would seem to insure that all captures of usages happen.Would there be any downside that folks have heard of?
I recently purchased the Slate VSX headphone/software package. Its really amazing, allows a great mixing environment on headphones. I’ve tried NX, Abbey Road 3 and Realphones. Slate has far more customization but I’d say Realphones are a good software only solution . Check out the 4800 comments on Slate at Gearslutz
I have the Abbey Roads Studio 3 and I like it a lot. I moved a year ago to a place that I cant do any loud mixing just a pair of 5″ speakers and a sub. The AR Studio gives a nice break from usual headphone fatigue and really moves the mix to a place not unlike a studio environment. Its not magic by any means ,just a relief for me when mixing. It works with the NX mentioned above
