Hi all! Just signed on ( thank you for the invite). Finding my way around, and loving what I see so far. Anyone up for creating some new songs? I play bass, and sing some backups a and leads, as well as write lyrics. Originals or covers. Looking forward to creating new song with this amazing community.
Hi Alan! That will be a good subject to add when the site goes live. Right now we're very limited with users. And remember everything on this site will probably be wiped clean when the new site goes live.
Everyone should be aware of the hassles of posting covers to streaming sites. The bots are finding and complaining about all covers online these days. I had Soundcrud give me a strike this month for a cover that had been uploaded for 10 years, so I just pulled all covers down to avoid the hassles of licensing a cover when you're receiving zero related income from streaming sites. It was an issue on iComp, and surely will be raised here, as well.

I was reading thru the rules to see if covers were allowed… I didn’t find anything yet pro or con… covers have been an important part of my schooling… a way to figure out how an artist arrived at an arrangement or a great mix
I love to collaborate. I can contribute mostly guitars/bass. I have a tune that I’m struggling to find lyrics and melody for. Shall I just post it and ask anyone that wants to add to it to help themselves?
Thanks all! Babs, thanks for the heads up on cover-crushing chat bots. I have not seen that yet. Smiley, I will message you, happy to help on taking a shot at lyrics and getting an original going. Scott and Mike will reach out to you as well for keys and other instruments. Glad to see iBandstand collabs in action !
