So this weekend me and the band (see signature) hit up AT Music in Essex, fantastic place if any of you are local Marks a great guy. Anyway we have recorded our song and it sounds amazing! Hasn't been mixed yet but hopefully will be done and available soon....
We have a gig at the end of the month (only a few songs in a local pub nothing major) and the band want to start selling the song providing its all ready in time, either via itunes or the like.... me on the other hand i think giving it away as free download is by far a better option as its not like were famous and have a following of people that cannot wait for our single and will be happy to pay for it. I just think if i saw a band in a pub and they said follow this link and have a listen... i would download and listen.... if however i clicked on download and it said please pay £1 i probably wouldn't bother.... the idea is we want to get our band out there and known more so than make money (at least to start with anyway).
Any of you guys have some advise on this? What do you other bands/recorders do?
Thanks,
Jonny
