music sharing site?

[Deleted member 365158]

As others said, google drive and soundcloud.
I record and mixdown our practices to mp3(smaller file)
I post them on our bands google drive.
Google drive is great for sharing but not so great for listening back if you want to listen to more than one file consecutively. My drummer puts the song files on soundcloud so we can stream the songs. Works well.

I use Dropbox to share my vinyl rips to people overseas. Very useful website

We use DropBox. Everyone in the band has access to the band's shared folder and can upload or access anything whenever they want, so there is no need to circulate individual links.

One recommendation @joebeadg , don't record the rehearsal as one single track. Create multiple tracks, then upload them. Or, or, if you have a DAW, load up the single track into the DAW and cut it up into smaller mp3 files. Many DAW have a free version that will work perfect for this. YMMV

I say this because my old mates would NOT listen to a single track of a 2 hour session. They just would not do it. If we broke them up into single songs, they were more likely to follow up.

I use Wetransfer. Very easy to work with and free as long as you remain under 2GB, which with a ZOOM H6 is quite feasible.

Addressees in the free version need to download within a week

Mixes to review, song orders etc I put on SoundCloud.

Bandlab is cool, but seems to be waning in popularity recently.
It's interesting mix of social media and a DAW program. It has quite a few features, but my favorite is that you can upload recordings to share with band members and they can even edit and overdub them from their own computer/interface.

I signed up for Bandlab just to get Cakewalk Pro for FREE!!! I haven’t used the Bandlab part of it yet. But getting Cakewalk pro for free has been totally awesome.

Dropbox and google drive let you create a link that you can paste into your email. Then all the recipient has to do is open their email and click on a link--no need for them to sign up for an account or anything, until they need to send you something.

And it works via text too! We have a group band text and paste the link in there. Couldn’t be much easier or more convenient really.

Hello, so I got this zoom h6, to record gigs but also rehearsals. But I'm running into problem of how to send the recordings to bandmates. Should I get a music sharing site thing, Obviously I'm quite in the dark with this stuff. If so, which is a good one, thank you

I use my Google drive.

My band uses Pcloud (https://my.pcloud.com/) to share files - rehearsal recordings, mostly, but also notes, photographs, set lists, etc. It's worked out pretty well for us.

 

[MonetBass]

Another vote for Soundcloud. Easy to use and share.

Google Drive. Much more capacity than Dropbox and they won't bombard you with ads to "upgrade to pro" like Dropbox does.

I use a Zoom Q2n and a Tascam DR-05 to record rehearsals/performances. Dropbox and Google Drive are super easy for sharing.

+1 for free Dropbox. I store individual songs rendered to stereo .wav - also individual tracks from multi-track recording sessions, each as .wav files. Use whatever file format you want.

Just give someone access to your folder(s) via their email address, or give them a link that drops them right into the folder you're using.

If you do choose to use SoundCloud, just be prepared to deal with some nonsense. It’s nothing horrible, and easily ignored, but you’ll get several “likes” and “follows” within seconds of uploading a track. You can, however, make your tracks private, which would only allow the people you give a link to access.

Do you have a band website? I setup an addon domain and built a website just for the band to use. I upload all the recordings of rehearsals and shows to the band website. Everyone can listen from there or they can download the recordings.

 

[seamonkey]

+1 on all the cloud storage options, but while everyone is at the end of rehearsal, copy to their phones of a thumb drive and they groove to it on the drive home.

Another vote for Google Drive or Dropbox. I prefer Google Drive; Dropbox has limits and Soundcloud will only allow so many uploads before they want you to pay. My old band has a ton of stuff on Google Drive and it's easy to share it with others.

I've noticed the same behavior at Dropbox.

I use a Tascam DR-05 to record our practices, download to my laptop and listen with Audacity - if there is anything I want to save or we need for band stuff I can do a quick cut and export to MP3 - then upload it to our band site on Band Lab. The other band members can access it there. Download it or play with it using the online mixer app. The Band Lab app allows you to create multiple "bands" and choose who you share the music with.
I used to use Cubase as my DAW and now have switched over to Cakewalk from Band Lab. Seems to work pretty well and I figure it's a good foundation if I ever want to get into serious mixing. Can't beat the price, free, lets you share music - and it's easy to use.
