I play guitar but don't really sing so much of my material is pretty-sounding acoustic stuff with a fairly loose structure. However the last 12 months has seen me write with a bit more purpose so some 'real' songs have eventuated. Some are played with the band I'm in and some (ok, just one) have been submitted to a songwriting competition.
I know my way around my DAW of choice (reaper) so usually do a complete arrangement of my songs to the point where I can get the vocal track dropped in, preferrably by someone who can sing. Though I will say that I've recently been subverted to the dark side of personal computing (Apple) and am pretty impressed with garage band (no flaming, please).
Oh and most of the songs make it onto Soundcloud at some stage http://www.soundclou...m/timothykierse (all comments welcome)
From here, I'm considering Taxi for pitching songs as I'm attracted by their promise of critiqueing songs by 'people who know their stuff' and don't mind the 'made to order' approach of their listings.
Cheers,
Tim
