I've heard other peoples stuff on Soundcloud but haven't done any myself. Can you give a brief description of registration and some of what the advantages the site offers?

It's free....

registration is quick and easy, the site is easy to use and it's just a click to share the sounds to other social media sites. It's an excellent way to store your music and people all around the world can stumble on to your music.

Gets a big thumbs up from me, would be brilliant if there was a good size CBG presence on there.

Have to check em out. Right now I think most of the nation using Youtube or Vemo(?). Not sure how that last one is pronounced or spelt.

Good thinking, get cracking and get recording and we can coax others into it then! Look forward to hearing what you've got!

Sounds good though, what's your set up? Are you using a pre-recorded drum track or drum machines for your songs?

Had a spare hour while the better half was at work last night and with JJ cale passing away and clapton releasing the tribute album I thought it would be fitting to do a quick rendition of "They call me the breeze".. Real quick recording in the living, using "Frank" my 3 string/1 string bass guitar and the floor as a stomp box, mixed up in audacity and all done in about 40 minutes so it's a bit scratty but I kinda like it. My setup sucks at the moment. Using a little Squier amp and a high gain pre amp for distortion so it doesn't sound how I wanted to but its the best I could do with what I had!
