Title: Sending large files
Post by: bbottom on April 14, 2012, 10:27:08 PM
Question.....

So I've always recorded my band practices and then broke down the practice into individual files to send to the other band members.

Well this has gotten to be kind of a pain in the ass and is pretty time consuming. Plus I would like the other guys to be able to hear the entire practice not just what I send them.

So my question is, what is the best way to send these guys an MP3 or WAV file that is probably close to 3 hours long?

most hosting sites have limits (i use mediafire which limits @ 100megs)
you could just use audacity to cut them up and upload them like that on mediafire and sent them the links.

ooops looks like jake may be onto something that would work better

Get a Soundcloud account and set the files to private (you could even name the URL differently than your reg. band Soundcloud account, to avoid future confusion). You can upload immediately and the dudes can comment on the files (even comment using 'time markers' if you want). The other guys don't have to download or convert anything, just press Play.

Basically, instant gratification. I used it one time so far, and I'm already sold.

We use dropbox. We have everything there, demos, bios, pics, etc. and there are apps for smartphones and too.
