Artist music platform options - Soundcloud alternatives?

[xgsjx]

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.

You could use bandcamp for this, but personally I wouldn't as it's primarily designed as a sales platform for finished recordings.

 

YouTube is quite handy for this.

You can mark the video as unlisted so it won't show up in searches, but you can then send the link directly to players who might be interested in joining.

Obviously you need to upload a video, (which can just be a still image) rather than just an audio file.

 

I ditched SoundCloud a long time ago so I don't know how useful it would be in either its free or subscription form.

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 hadn't heard of hearthis.

 

I will be in a similar position to you later this year where I'll need to share some works in progress and I was totally put off setting up a new SoundCloud account, so I will give it a look
