Maybe you’re thinking about signing up, but want a better idea of why Songbox is a better choice than Dropbox for sharing your audio files.
Maybe you’re already a committed Songbox user. If you’re here, chances are you already know what Songbox is all about. Also – don’t worry about your track sounding under-produced or too rough, some of the bands we’ve signed in the past started out by sending us very lo-fi demos recorded with 1 mic in a cupboard… sometimes these ones are the best.One question we sometimes get asked is: “What makes Songbox different to services like Dropbox & Soundcloud?” We like all kinds of music, so don’t think that what you do might not be for us. If we don’t get back to you or put your music up, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t submit some more stuff in the future. We’re hoping to do remix comps for a lot of our forthcoming releases.ĥ) What tips can you give for artists sending you tracks through to your DropBox?ĭon’t drop in more than 2 tracks, make sure they’re the ones you’re most happy with.
#SOUNDCLOUD DROPVOX DOWNLOAD#
No Maps’ a long time ago which was a compilation of the best demos we got through the post, we’d like to do a part two which would be made up of entirely SoundCloud submitted demos.Īt the moment we’re running a remix competition – we have put the stems of a David Karsten Daniels & Fight The Big Bull track on soundcloud, anyone can go in and download them and then have a go at remixing the song by submitting through the group dropbox – there’s still 2 weeks left and 15 remixes in. We’re also thinking of releasing some soundcloud curated compilation of the best demos we’ve received through soundcloud. We want these talented artists to get some recognition – so it’s important to us to get them some exposure.
The standard so far has been way higher than the average standard of our physical submissions.įor the moment we’re just adding our favourite tracks to our demo player on the FatCat site and myspace. Well, of course we would love to release some – which will certainly happen. It’s certainly easier than opening packages and logging in CD’s.Ĥ) Are there any creative ways you are looking to use this influx of music received through your SoundCloud DropBox?
Like I mentioned above – listening to the tracks we receive through our dropbox couldn’t be more simple. The tracks we get in the dropbox are from a wider range of influences. It’s added a refreshing and exciting new element to the type of demo we get. It has eased the process of receiving demos, but we still very much enjoy receiving cd’s through the post and wouldn’t want that to stop. The DropBox is much better… all the tracks are in the same place, we just have to press play and carry on working whilst the tracks play through.ģ) How has SoundCloud eased the process of receiving demos than in the past? We did used to get emailed links to myspace pages etc but we found that they sometimes got lost in our inboxes. We still do – it just means we get twice as many submissions, which is great. What was your process before using the SoundCloud demo DropBox?īefore SoundCloud we were receiving demos through the post, on CD, vinyl and tape. We’re really excited about it, I don’t think it will be long until we release our first album sourced through SoundCloud.Ģ) You have been keenly using the DropBox feature. But it’s already made a difference to how we work with demo submissions. We caught up with Tom Lavis from FatCat and asked him about how he has been using SoundCloud and the DropBox feature in their working life.ġ) How long have you been using SoundCloud? “Based in Brighton, indie label FatCat Records has grown into one of the most celebrated stables for emerging and established talent in the UK.” Drowned In Sound FatCat are now 21 years old, and in the heart of a typically prolific year are busy with 2010’s schedule which includes 13 albums, 16 singles and 2 EP’s. 130701 Records: Max Richter, Hauschka, Sylvain Chauveau, Set Fire To Flames) as well as their main FatCat label (Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Vashti Bunyan, David Karsten Daniels, Nina Nastasia…).
