Free Recording Software Download!

Yep, there is actually some free recording software that you can download to pretty much any computer! It's called Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)  You can use this to get a decent recording using your laptop microphone or another mic attached to the mic input of your computer.

Use it to jot down song ideas, collaborate with other people, etc.  It's pretty cool for some free recording software!

Have a great day!

Looking for Songwriting, Movie Opportunities? Check Out TaxiMusic.com

If you haven't heard of it before, Taxi is a great opportunity to get your music heard by music industry professionals, record labels, producers, movie producers, etc, with opportunity listings you can send your music to for immediate consideration!  We highly recommend them. http://www.taximusic.com  Of course, for a direct line to opportunities, they do charge a fee, and unless it's changed, it's $299 for the first year and $199 a  year thereafter. But some people have gotten record deals, had their music used for commercials, movie soundtracks, etc, paying them a lot more than the yearly fee. If you've got good recordings, this is a place where 'you get more than what you pay for', in our opinion.
