Carlsbro don’t make beer, but if they did you’d pour it down the drain.

So far it seems pretty good. I don’t know what the user base is like if you decided to use it for promoting your stuff, but as a host for ideas, it does it just like Soundcloud did.

I’ve signed up to hearthis.at & it’s just what I need. It’s like Soundcloud used to be. Looks very similar, it’s easy to use & the free version has an upload limit of about 50 songs. Perfect for hosting to share, like sending song links to people or posting in the Basschat compo compo. When I get more time, I’ll have a look at the other options too.

I’ve got a new band forming & wanted to upload a couple of song snippets online to seek other musicians & promote the music/band. So as I’ve done in the past, decided to create a soundcloud account for the band. Done! But it’s now limited to a 2 track upload for the free account (it used to be something like an hour of audio). So I’m looking to see what alternatives there are. Does anyone on here have experience with or use the likes of Bandcamp, Audiomack, Hearthis.at or any other platforms that they’d recommend or is it worth buying the Soundcloud subscription? Cheers.

For the summing part, you basically need a 2 channel mixer. If you can solder, it’s easy to make a passive one.

So it was, that was “How grate is our god”. 🤣 Yes, it does indeed. 7 in 1 it is then.

I always thought it was mathematically challenged. “The godhead 3 in 1, father, spirit, son, the lion & the lamb”. I’m pretty sure that’s 5 in 1. 😂

FKA Twigs - Eusexua. Just dropped at the start of the week & is a fantastic album from start to finish.

I started a project with a drummer last year. We’re writing a handful of songs & hope to be gigging them this year. We have a vocalist who also plays acoustic guitar, the drummer has an ekit & includes a couple of multi pad controllers, and I play a mix of synth & loops & control the flow of the song arrangements. So after some tweaking & working out what I need to get this going we’ll, I’ve added a Launchpad Pro. Not only can it control much of Logic (which I use as a host and the band feed into it too), but it has a built in 4 track poly sequencer. So there’s the temptation to try just it & the Jupiter for some stuff. It’s got a bit of a Saturday Night Fever vibe going on.

Nice one. If you need better piano sounds, there’s plenty of VST pianos you can use.

Sadly only in South Africa. It’s still very much happening in Palestine.

I try my best not to support big corporations (especially the US ones) & prefer to buy local or independent companies. I also use an app called “No Thanks” to help me avoid anything that supports apartheid. The No Thanks app is available for both iOS & Android.

Probably my fave song of 2024 & the more I listen to it, the more I love it. It just doesn’t go on for long enough. She’s a Canadian Palestinian. Her label dropped her just as she was about to release her debut album after things blew up in Palestine. Had she been a Zionist, things would have been different. The whole album is fantastic.

Here's my entry. Singer for new band did the vocals & guitar. Everything else is me. Love the original, so was good to do something different with it. https://soundcloud.com/feintmotions/linger-cover Edited to update the version of the track.

From a moral point of view, I’m not a fan of Fender. They’re now really just a corporation that buys up smaller businesses & rips them apart.
