Topic: People's opinions on where to put their recordings.

Hi everyone, just a simple question.   Where do you find the best place to put your recordings?  As most of you know I use Soundcloud and have been quite happy with it.  However now I have used up all the free uploading on it and from now on will have to pay.  Looking into it briefly today, it works out about $18 NZ dollars per month to use.  The total per year $108 but looking further into it, for NZ it says $168 per year.  I guess if your uploading music, songs a lot per month that is quite reasonable.  But for me, only roughly 1 song per month and not even always that, I was wondering if it's worth it. 
I notice some people use You Tube, but not sure I can be bothered with filming myself recording.  I did try it once a few years ago on You Tube videoing myself recording but not sure about it.  I also notice some people use You Tube to record their songs with just sound only, haven't tried that option yet.
I do like simple and easy, I really can't be bothered with technical stuff, haven't got the patient for it and honestly not that interested in the technical stuff.  (Wouldn't it be great to have our own soundman technicians to do all that stuff for us) lol big_smile

Re: People's opinions on where to put their recordings.

Hi Jan, yes that would be great, chordies own recording web page! I don't post much to SoundCloud or YouTube these days as I don't get much, if any reactions. And as you say SoundCloud want money for holding your songs. I just get into my account and delete my older songs or the ones I don't like freeing up space to put newer ones in. Give that a try?     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: People's opinions on where to put their recordings.

Jandle hope you figure it out and let us know. need some where to get more exposure. what i though was the best i have written got 9 plays on sound cloud lol apparently what i like and others like differ a lot lol.
as a side note took the grand kids to Dennys this morning for pan cakes. CMT was on a television close to our table. holy crap if that what passes for country or even good music these days there are several here on chordie  who should hit the big time. that or people today have incredibly bad taste.

Re: People's opinions on where to put their recordings.

Phill, now there's an idea for Chordie, its own recording web page.  Might bring a lot more musicians here too.  Hey that's a good idea, to delete some of the songs off my page.  I didn't realize I could do that and then add more.   Cheers for that, will look into it.

neophytte, yes, I did think of doing something along that line, a second account.  But then I thought of the very few followers I have on there already that I would lose and then I will have no followers or listeners. 

mojo, ok cheers, you do the same as Phill re: deleting older ones or ones you don't like that much.  I think that's a good idea and will probably do that.  Yes, I know what you mean re: what we think might be our best and others don't think so lol, totally get that big_smile  Showing my ignorance here but what is CMT?

Re: People's opinions on where to put their recordings.

Jan, by adding an account; Jan1 and Jan2 you can keep both accounts going, just make sure you put the right link in when you offer your many fans to have a listen. I think there are some other sites similar to SoundCloud and YouTube I haven't bothered for so long I can't help with their address. Do a little search and let us know. I wonder if Per would or could create a music hosting site?     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

l Phill I wish "my many fans" lol, the key word being the "few" lol big_smile    One that easybeat told me about was Reverbnation which he said apparently is quite good and does a similar thing to Soundcloud, doesn't charge and offers other options too, so I might check that out.  Re: Per, maybe a suggestion you could put forward to him in the moderators chat.
