    If your songs are on ReverbNation, they say "ReverbNation streams all songs at a bitrate of 128. If you have a bundled service or Mega Song Storage, then we stream the file to your listeners at the bitrate you ..." If you use their digital distribution system, they want songs at 320bps

    Ok, an issue right away...I just checked SoundCloud as it was the one you mentioned and I was fairly sure it wasn't 192bps Quoting from their transcoding and upload FAQ: "Sometimes our transcoding system can create audio artifacts, as we transcode all tracks to 128 kbps mp3 for streaming playback."

    Any studio I have worked in we used to check the mix and the mastered mix using several speaker systems... Ie amps and speakers, not speakers alone. There are a number of factors. We checked using big main monitors like at Tannoy Little Reds, near field monitors, maybe Yamaha NS 10s, a set of very small speakers equivalent to a boom box, a set of high speakers and a small mono speaker. Additionally we would use a studio amp (at least 1) and a hifi amp. This last was useful for working out the bass boost effect on hifis as part of the RIAA compensation curve (originally introduced to compensate for the mechanical weaknesses in even the best needle and vinyl arrangement. Toss in monitoring on cans and yes, even ear buds. One of the biggest causes of issues on mp3 upload are where it isn't converted to the exact preferred format the web site likes. For example, you create a 256 bps file, while the site prefers 128 bps. Files. This results in conversion process taking place with the file running through yet more compression and completely ruining the mix. Better that you find out what the site needs and create that from the wav master directly.

    I am happy working on several songs at the same time. Sometimes the way ahead with a particular song won't come to me, it at least I am not satisfied with what has come to me. If I have several ongoing songs I am perfectly comfortable switching songs, as I have learned that just because one song isn't going where I want it, a lack of satisfactory ideas tends not to be across the board. I want to do what is right for an individual song, and it am patient in getting there. I see no fun in forcing the pace, so I only do so with commercial writes where I have had a fixed deadline to meet. In truth I think much depends on the individual writer. Songwriting is very much a results lead activity. Don't be afraid of giving new ideas a chance, experiment and find what works for you. Times change, so what works now may not work in a year, so don't get entrenched!

      Thanks John... already got my intro post up and I'm going to provide some feedback to the other writers so I can eventually post my own recordings and seek the advice from the community.

      Thank you for the warm welcome.

      Cheers,

      J~
