Hi: I have experienced multiple sites/mail lists that musicians and artists go to to discuss their music and marketing and ideas. So far, there's no general list that has the "feel" and "comfort" for newbies to the recording movement, i.e., do-it-yourself movement. For example, a message that says, "I just made a recording, and need feedback on it." Or, "Where's a site I can put my samples?" Or, "I'm in need of a music appreciation online course, to formalize my music training." Open Studios has a list called, community_studios@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This will eventually be populated by those who are using the free recording services of their local facilities, and will be asking such questions. If the lau list is already fielding such topics, then that gives everyone a good resource to act as the definitive list to check. So, my preference is to let this list [ lau ] be a broader-based resource for the world community. Go for it, Darren! We support you.
