"Have you got a band?"

Looking around i see a few bands on the boards.

There is this good site for people without a record label or anything to start promoting their band across the net.

I dont think anyone has posted about it before but sorry if i am repeating, but this is the site

A version of Logic.

My band has just been told we can have a gig in The Cavern in January. Thats the place made famous by the Beatles for anyone who doesnt know. Its one of the most well known music venues in Liverpool so we're quite pleased with ourselves. We might be playing the Carling Academy before christmas too. It's so long away though so I'm not holding my breath until we get some concreet details.

I use a program that acts as a virtual multitrack.
It has some production options too.
When I make a song myself I'll use CPU drums and then record other bits over it. That's for making a rough demo for the band to get to know the song.

Sometime I'll leave the laptop recording a band practice. I edit that into "tracks". From there I can burn it onto a demo CD and rip the MP3s off it.

I do :P

what do you use then?

nope.

Don't you record them into wav?

I'm in a band.

All we need is a singer. That may be a major factor perhaps, but it's near impossible to find the right one. Settling for a less than near perfect singer could fail you immediately. So we place importance on it.

At the moment we should have 14 finished songs by October/November.

We have 6 near finished now. But (as I've already discussed with Merm) it's hard to convert the bizarre file types that they're in, into mp3 or whatever.

They've recorded though! Here's one he posted in another thread: [URL]http://media.putfile.com/DyingToLive-Part1[/URL]

Never been in a band but got into producing while I was at college. Put some tracks together almost entirely made up of sample, sent out some demo tapes and actually got a 12" put out on a record label. I was later told it sold 23 copies. Actually more than I expected. Never got round to send out any more demos, real life got in the way.

Surely the fact that you are short 3 members, consitutes you NOT having a band!

However should you overcome this hurdle, I know a great recording studio
