What do you guys think we should put on our demo ie. how many songs, differant tempos, melodic, etc.

The first song should be your best

3 songs maximum is the rule of thumb I think

Just pick your 3 best songs and place them in order :D

should we get listeners to come in and pick the best three, or should we choose them? :thumb:

Its up to you

If your confident that 3 of your songs are your best use them

If not survey your friends and get them to choose and leave comments so you can see what people think :)

Post them here dude, I'll crit them for ya

:thumb: Good luck

Also, if you've got a particular purpose for making this (gigging purposes or whatever), think of your audience. If you're attempting to get a background music gig at bright, happy coffee shop, it's not really worth putting on any death-metal tracks, if you know what I mean. It's fairly obvious, but some people don't actually consider that.

thanks guys

whens the dude gone continue this saga?
its great!
its like everything you need to know in laymans terms

never, i'm afraid.

the k is too busy being in a slightly successful emo-metal band for us.

i think you can have 4, if all 4 are good. if one is alright, dont put it on just to mak ethe demo longer, it will lower your popularity. No more than 4 though.

thats what we are going to, thanks mate. :thumb:

the thing about putting your best songs first is kind of double edged.

on one hand, you can put the songs that would most likeley be accepted by someone that wants you to play music for them first.

on the other hand, you can put the songs that YOU like and display what kind of music YOU want to play. this can be risky

man cmon everybody, we gotta keep this thread alive, we cant get anybody to freeze or delete it, everybody get talkin, how would a band go about getting gigs?do we just walk into a bar or someit and say "hey can we play for you guys?"

Understand something: This thread is dead and gone. If you have any band questions that aren't answered in here, just do a search, and if you can't find anything, make a thread. This was a great guide, and still is, but it's never gonna be updated.

What's the problem, maybe this thread can still be put to good use. Maybe people could post their own tips or expierances or lessons on how to guide bands along and stuff like that. kkkocain did a great job with this but theres so much more knowlage to be shared from other mx members. I think leaving it would be dumb and it would be great if people continues to post in it.

Yea but the thing is that it gets spam like this filling it becuase people just talk, we'd need to make an official band guide where t gets edited everytime someone makes a tip, and its not some huge list.

Someone should go and compile this and put it in the guitar lessons, etc..

This isn't guitar lessons this is band lessons, and, yeah I'm sure all of kkk's band info would take up maybe 5 pages at most if there wasn't so much spam, does anyone think a new band page guide type thing is worth it so long as theres no spam and only lessons and tips? Theres all kinds of junk around mx to help bands but it's all over.

If it was made a sticky, and people would post their tips, and then the threadstarter would add it onto the lsit, then the person deletes their post, it would be good. So there would be very few posts.

yeah

Alright guys I'll make an official band guide thread(mostly made up of these lessons) if there's enough enthusiasm. I'll just type it up in word pro and then put it in here and I'll reserve a couple posts to add on, and then anyone with any tips can post them and I'll add it as we go. I'm not gonna do this if there isn't enough desire for it though, its gonna take a while and I don't want to do it if nobody cares.

Sounds good :thumb:

Thats a good idea, if I can be of help in any way let me know.
