Doesn't garageband have an option to bounce to MP3 or something then?

Not sure, but when you send it to iTunes you convert it to either MP3 or AAC. Then you can choose all your different compression options. I've gone for MP3 at 128 K/BIT because i'm uploading to youtube. I'll use different compression options when i create my composition for the competition :)

Why render to Mp3 to import into Soundcloud ? [For this Competition]
Soundcloud accepts Wav files.

I'm only converting to mp3 for the sake of my youtube cover. when i record for this competition, it will be a much higher quality file format and compression codec.

It's quite hard to actually find other peoples recordings in this thread, so i was thinking, when you record your competition piece, we should all put a link to that piece in our signatures, that way it's easier to find, and you also know who created the piece.

in fairness, when the voting starts next week, charic puts them in one vote post so they are all there easy to access, but your idea is good.

it might also that way spread it around the forum

But i already have Garageband. I'm just learning the ropes on it. I just re-recorded a cover of an RHCP track, and i made 5 tracks for my bass so that it sounds fuller. Basically i lined them up- 1. Centre. 2.Hard right. 3. Hard left. 4. Between centre and hard right. 5. Between centre and hard left.

I've used audacity before... didn't really like it. iTunes gives plenty of compression options anyway. and Garageband records in AIF format... and it came pre-installed on my laptop! wow!
[/quote]

You can save and compress in Aif in Audacity as well as Mp3 and loads of other options :)

No probs. You'll find everyone has their own favourite when it comes to 'phones - here's mine:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/AKG-K240-MKII-Circumaural-Headphones/dp/B0016MNBAM/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1352978676&sr=8-14

I find these give a very flat and accurate sound for the price. Ultimately though, I strongly recommend visiting your local retailer and trying them out in-store (then buying online if you can find them cheaper). How well they fit your bonce can be a big issue!

+1 on these, but the older "monitor" version, which you can sometime grab for a good price in the bay.

I use these http://www.thomann.de/gb/superlux_hd662_f.htm They're dirt cheap, and the company makes the parts for AKG (you'll notice these look almost identical to a pair of AKGs). They sound strikingly similar to my M-Audio BX5a monitors so work perfectly for me. Top quality and you simply can not argue with the price. Worth a punt for £27.
