Hello there!
I just discovered this site last week and have to say that I love the concept.
I have a question about remixes and best practices...
I recently uploaded a remix where I took a drum track and added a bass and two guitars. I uploaded this completed mix. Is it preferred for me to do a mix after each instrument I add?
In other words, should I upload a mix of the drums and bass track? Then do a second upload of the mix of drums, bass and guitar 1? Then another, if desired, of drums, bass, Gtr1 and Gtr2?
I want to make sure I have the concept correct. I guess by doing them each separately, it gives others a chance to add to their ideas as well.
I am sure this has been covered over and over, but I was in a bit a hurry.
Do I have this right?
Thanks!
JB

Hi there JB, welcome! There is no absolute right way, you are free to upload your remix which ever way you like, as long as you label all the instruments correctly. Having said that, it is nice to upload separate mixes for the various instruments (even better with separate HD tracks), that would allow others to jump in and develop the track in a different way. Up to you though :). And most important, have fun doing it!
