And interestingly, even if you pay $0 via "Name your price", you can add it to your collection to download later. But perhaps even more important, anyone who sees your collection sees that you downloaded it. That isn't the case with "Free download."

There is some music that I've come across as 'free download' that I'm unable to download at the time and I'll never see it again, but if there is a 'Name your price', I'm always will to pay at least a couple dollars to have it put in my collection to stream/download later. As a user, I very much prefer 'Name your price' over free download... > > On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 2:57 PM, Dave at EAR/Rational Music <dave@ear-rational.com> wrote: > Best feedback I can give you or anyone else who sets up their music on Bandcamp as a free download: Don't!

If any of you guys are interested in giving me feedback, I'd really appreciate it. I've been working on this, non-stop, for about 3 months. It was a really fun little project, which will probably conclude my releases under PHNV. >> >> https://phnv.bandcamp.com/album/50-shades-of-rave >> >> some equipment i used (alongside a shit stack of ableton patches) to make this: >> Microkorg >> Korg Electribe EA-1 >> Korg M01-Workstation (Nintendo 3DS app) >> MC-303 Groovebox >> TR-8 >> 1989 Dot-Matrix Gameboy (LSDJ Tracker) >> Mackie ProFX 8 channel mixer >> Akai EIE >> >> i'm poor as shit, earning minimum wage as a cook/living independently. Even so, i have developed a compulsive habit of spending almost all my spare $$ on equipment. It has been difficult to build the setup that I want, but i'm getting closer. My intention for this album was to have it be a bit of a farewell to my computer for a while, as i have enough stuff to make some primitive hardware grooves. I might do some tape recordings next!! >> >> Anyway, thanks! >> <3 <3 >> >> P.S. On another note, any recommends for affordable monophonic analog keyboards. I started playing keyboards for a local punk band (with a microkorg, which honestly works pretty well). I could really hear a yamaha cs-5 or something alike going well with it. something with some aggressive saws and squares > >
