Soundclick Question...

[gordon_39422]

Hey guys... I have noticed several covers being hosted by Soundlick, yet they expressely forbid such covers, only original material unless you have copyright permission... Is this just a legal notice they don't enforce?

I have been trying to get really familiar with recording before I start trying to lay down original tracks... I am a perfectionist, and would scrap a cool song simply because I couldnt get the mix right.... Anyway, I have a few covers completed, and would like to get some second opinions from fellow musicians, but seem to be without a host site...

Anyone who can provide some input to this, I owe you a cold galss of Killian's...

Thanks,
Allen

Re: Soundclick Question...

I posted a cover and just didn't call it by the full name. I haven't had any problems. I see plenty of other covers on there.

Re: Soundclick Question...

Yeah, I'll try that...

Nevermind, It uploaded then rejected... How can I transfer a file type from WMA to MP3?

Re: Soundclick Question...

ive posted covers on soundclick my self....just when i type in the song name i state that its a cover and who its by. i think the rule applies to people who put covers up and try to call it their own.

as for converting wmv to mp3 you can probably download a converter somewhere on the internet...or try using a mixing program that allows you to save as mp3

Re: Soundclick Question...

i had the opportunity to mixdown to mp3, but chose not too... Once I mixed it down, I deleted the track files, so I am stuck with this version and file type... I will NEVER do that again, because I can hear all sorts of mistakes after having listened to it 1000's of times... lol

I'll try to find a converter online, thanks for the feedback!

Re: Soundclick Question...

That is definitely true!! One of the songs, I can hardly stand to listedn to becuase it is chocked full of mistakes, recording/mixing mistakes rather than playing... But since I accidentally scrapped the tracks, it stays where it is... Oh well, that is a learning point!

Re: Soundclick Question...

i posted covers up, and then like 2 months later they figured it out at suspended my account until i removed to cover songs...so you might wanna wait and see what they do about the songs

It doesn't actually matter whether you say who the tracks by always. Most big records won't even allow you to sing/play along with the tracks technically just to stop anybody nicking their record.
