I`m curious. I`ve had an account on Bandmix on and off for years. I don`t know why though because I`ve never made a connection through the website. When I search for a bassist, I get all these hits with people who check every instrument they have ever tinkered with. When I search for a bassist, I want a REAL bassist, not a frustrated guitarist or someone who thinks just because they play guitar that makes them a bassist automatically. There are extreme differences. Same goes for drummers. Just because you can play 4/4 time or have fast hands does NOT mean you`re a drummer. Maybe it`s me but I can play bass and drums and piano but not well enough to play with a professional band so I don`t check the boxes. And I have an account to find other musicians to work with, not to network so if a person isn`t going to go to any auditions or try to join or create a band, why have an account here?? Hey I get it, to each his own, but it surely does make it exponentially difficult for us artists who are really trying to create a project to work with....just sayin... Oh while I vent,... There are many types of artist, I get it but there should be a separate menu for the professional artists who perform music for a living. That way, you know when you search that if you find someone, they will actually show up to audition or be there when you set up a meeting. Isn`t there any real artists out there who want to take a step above the weekend warrior thing??? Just let me know, I can adapt to most anything short of rap or screaming. Thats all I have to say about that....
You joined 8 months ago - I've been searching for people/bands longer and not just using this place. It's not an easy process. Your profile does not have any way to contact you - only premium (paying) members can do so. Most people browsing for others check the profiles without registering or paying, so you're turning away 75% of your chances immediately.
The only pictures you have on your profile are of equipment, no videos or still pictures of you playing - I'm guessing many people would blow you off as a 'wannabe' because of that despite your MP3 samples.
