Basic Steps to getting started making music online
How to get started:
- If you haven't already: SIGN UP for an ACCOUNT on this website. (Be sure to look at the available "Sound Groups" and subscribe to the ones that interest you)
- Get Skype and learn how to contact other participant Skype users for free. (Watch this video it may help to download) You can learn how to add a contact and then give that new contact a call by looking at this video .
- Once you have a Skype account update your profile on the Virtual Sound Exchange so that other members of the community can add you to their contact list on Skype. This will enable you to connect with audio online and arrange for online collaborations.
- Organize a time to meet online and try playing some music together with other participants over Skype. If there are three or more of you use the conference call feature of skype to interconnect. If possible play with headphones or with your speakers away from the mic you are using for skype to avoid feedback caused by internet delay times.
- Some may want to get the open source Audacity software to edit this content for continuity and remove unwanted sections
- If you own a Mac you might want to download SoundJack from Alex Carøt's site.
