PJ’s Pick: Website of the Month December 29, 2008
Posted by PJ in : Chit Chat, Composing, GarageBand , trackbackHooray for new segments on the Studio Files! So here’s the deal, I’m going to pick and write about a website related to the world of audio every month. First up is…
This is definitely one of my new favorite websites. I stumbled upon it one day whilst googling “place to share garageband songs” and found just that. The main music area is very active with about 50-100 songs uploaded a day or you can sort it out by your genre of choice. Add in the slick comments and ratings system and you have an excellent site where you can get instant feedback on your tunes or just listen to other users’ original music.
The site was redesigned in October giving it a new look and much faster upload speeds for songs. The upload form, which is one of the big reasons I like the site so much, lets you upload MP3 and/or AAC, title songs, write a description, select a genre, select the program it was created with and other miscellaneous details on how to handle comments and song rights.
Creating an account gives you access to the Backstage area where you can manage your profile, song library and favorite songs and artists lists. To give you a better idea of what the profile page looks like, here is mine:

EDIT 12/30: Heres a couple artist profiles I would recommend checking out also. I’m a big fan of these guys and even collaborated with Waleed on track (more to come!)

In addition to the tunage, iComp also has an active forum and live chat. All this makes icompositions.com a winner in my book and I recommend that any audio enthusiast or hobbyist give it a whirl.
Have a website that you would like featured on the Studio Files? Know of a site that you’re just dying to tell people about? Send us an email or drop us a comment below!
