when you have made a track, maybe a whole album, and you
have it on the internet, how do you promote it ??

I think there are special sites that music producers visit
regular but dont know what they are called . you upload your
tracks to that site.
does anybody know of that type of site?

Send out demo's, word of mouth, playing live gigs, getting
to know people......

thats the way its usually done

because there are so many people with tracks online that
people running labels dont "have the time" or dont want to
bother spending a week to look through all of it.

But what ever you dont, dont spam your tracks on the µ
forum, they will tear you a new one, if you know what I
mean, they will flame you like there is not tommorow... just
a little word of warning.

As for sharing your tracks on a message board.... hmm, I
think it would be allright if your a member and just dont
sign up to post a link to your tracks and then never sign on
agian.... I think that if you post some interesting posts
and have been around regularly that its fine to post some
tracks or whathave you. But to just sign up to a message
board, to post links to your tracks, and say nothing else or
not contribute in discussion or anything, is kinda wank.

But Mike at µ heard the shitmix by bitmeddler, because
someone passed it on to him, and he released it and signed
teh guy. So I think if your music is good or someone likes
it and wants to release it, then it will speak for its self
and things will happen. But who knows, with so many people
making music now adays its hard to say whats the best way to
get your stuff heard....

I hope this helps you out somewhat.

mu messageboard = Planet-Mu (Mike Paradinis/M-ziq's label)
messaboard.

I agree re: members posting here. I only post links to track
I genuinely think people here will like and I won't check
out other people's unless they are an existing member
(rather than just signing in once to spam).
