Members kwakatak Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 Unless it somehow ties into talking about acoustic gear (wink wink ) or acoustic-centric technique it will probably "disappear". So, if you pay lip service to the gear you used or your technique I for one would love to hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Keir Posted September 1, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks Neil, It's a conundrum. If your indie musician and you make a CD, you have to find ways to tell people about it. There are forums where I've posted for years (UMGF & Cubase.net) and they know me there and it's cool. But you can't spend your life posting and being well-known everywhere. Day job, anyone? So, I've got be careful. I've got no doubt I'll be called "spammer" and booted out somewhere. Anyway, 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 It is considered OK on this forum to release a copy of your new cd to every member with (FK checks his post counter) at least 1400 posts. My mailing address is.. Oh, that wasn't your question. Personally I think it is OK as long as done tastefullY (like everything else on this forum), but what is certainly OK would be to post an mp3 teaser and a link to your site where we can learn all about you and your music and buy your cd and find out what your tour dates are and become big fans. A lot of people here have posted clips of their music in their sigs Actually that is what I just did with one of our regulars - I heard a couple of things on his site and ordered cd's from him.

Well, my site's in my signature, but early mixes of some of the stuff on the cd can be listened to / downloaded from here. I hope you like. Cheers!

Anyway, 'nuff said. I hear you. I gave up on being a "real musician" years ago because I couldn't see how I would be able to make a living at it. I'd heard of horror stories about conflicting egos, difficulties of booking gigs, etc. and didn't want that to taint my passion for playing so I've kept it strictly as a hobby. That being said, I've got nothing but respect for people who put the time and effort into marketing themselves. I've followed a few local musicians and see how much trouble they have just keeping at it let alone breaking through and reaching a larger audience. FWIW, I think that the Internet is becoming an invaluable resource. I also see a lot of promise with sites like MySpace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarist21 Posted September 1, 2006 Members Share Posted September 1, 2006 Don't we have a sticky for posting mp3s? That would work. I like the putting it in the sig method. Welcome to HC! Ellen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
