He recorded the songs in a studio as a birthday gift but friends say he is excellent. I dont mind paying once I have a proffesional assessment but cant afford to waste money

Try myspace.com, epitonic.com and www.music.download.com.  Set it up to wear they can hear, but not download the songs.  You will see "radios" at those sites that can do that.  People can rate the songs.  Check those sites, they might be free.\n\nDon't bother with a professional assessment.  You are just paying somebody with a certain taste.  Probably the best critics are DJs, and they are always looking for free songs.

It's fine, as long as you appreciate that buskers will only have a finite repertoire. There's a fairly good chance they either won't know the song you request well enough to play it in public.\n\nEven if they don't know the song you're after, you should still leave them some money (obviously not as much) to show your appreciation of what they do do.

I liked him with roxy music and squeeze. He's one of many good singers that never get his due. He has his die hard fans though. I would be one I guesss.

You should talk to him about music, since it's something he's intersted in. Good luck!

allofmp3.com.  You only pay around $1 -$2 per album.  $.12 for a song. You can find almost anything. Even artists that have not released their catalogue's here.  There are 3 levels of sound quality.  The regular one is CD quality, better than iTunes, when you go the next notch up it us unblievable. \n\nCheck it out!!

This offer looks too good to be true. They need your email address, so they will probably send you even more spam. You probably have to download a program, which could be a troyan horse that takes over your computer. The music they offer is probably not made available by the artists for free. When something looks too good, it always isn't.\nCheck music under a Creative Commons license instead.

Absolutely.  \n\nThough I'm *not* old {smiling}, yes, I remember all kinds of tape recording formats, and even went to a school for multitrack recording, with the aim of getting a job in a studio.\n\nThere are numerous programs for your PC that will turn it into a multitrack recorder with all the familiar features a console has -- channel and master faders, VU meters, pan knobs, mute and solo switches, etc.  But they go beyond the wildest dreams of a recording engineer in the 80s, when tape (often 2" wide) was the only respectable medium, and a reasonable studio would cost many tens--if not a few hundreds--of thousands of dollars to assemble.\n\nComputer software on a good PC does the job of both the mixing console and the multitrack recorder, and even lets you do a mix-down to stereo, and even editing of your projects... and mastering to CD!\n\nI don't have enough experience with any of the programs I've seen   to recommend one, but suspect you'd find a lot of useful info at emusician.com, the online version of Electronic Musician magazine.  \n\nThey probably review software as well as hardware, and I'm sure there are plenty of other sites that do, too.\n\nYou might want to just get your feet wet with a great *free* program, called Audacity.  I *have* used that one, just playing around, and it seems to have just about everything I've seen in pay programs, and which a beginning (or even semi-pro) band would need.  I can't say for sure, but I'd be surprised if this software *isn't* good enough for a demo, as long as you know how to use it.  \n\nThe recording and mixing process takes practice, some knowledge of sound and microphone placement, a good ear, and a bit of creativity... as with any other type of recording equipment.  Since Audacity is freeware, you have no money to lose, there.\n\nAs for "easy to use," that depends a lot on your experience with the hardware these programs are designed to emulate.  I find the software pretty intuitive, but I have studied and used this kind of hardware on and off for years.  I can imagine it being an awful lot to a newbie.  But then, so would the hardware versions of these tools.\n\nOne other tip: don't skimp on your microphones.  A mic of poor quality will ruin a recording quicker than just about anything else, no matter how good the software is.  And it's not one-type-fits-all-duties.  Way too much to cover here, I'm afraid.\n\nOh, alright, one more thing... you do have to have a certain level of hardware in your computer.  Check the system requirements of the software you get, but I'm guessing you'll want at least 1 GB of RAM, a fast hard drive (7200 rpm or better), and a fast processor (I won't guess, on that).  And obviously you need some way to get the microphone signals into your PC.  If your sound card doesn't provide the necessary inputs, you may need to buy a "breakout box" which you connect to the computer via USB port, probably, and which then gives you various mic and line inputs.\n\nThis may sound like a lot to learn, and I won't lie... it is!  But it is possible, and I think can give you a surprisingly good quality recording via your PC.\n\nGood luck, and maybe you'll send me your demo CD!   ;-)

Sounds like a classy neighborhood. So you checked their documents and know for a fact that they are illegal, obviously, and you saw them tag your house, also obviously, I'm sure that you wouldn't make that up, and they haven't bother you? Amazing, they must really like you if they are as grody as you say, but choose to share their music with you. How do they music?

it would be illegal. even if the music is never released or the artist is dead the musician still holds the copyright to this, from the moment they put the music on tape. you can't make money off of their work. it is up to them to release it.

Record a CD and send it to a producer or someone high in the  music industry. If they don't reply try going on depending where your from...X-Factor or American idol or whatever. I will when I'm old enough!

I agree with the others. While things such as limewire and bearshare are nice and convenient and easy and fun. And free. \nWould you want someone to appreciate your hard work that you put many hours into without paying you?\nImagine spending hundreds of hours on a project that your poured your heart and soul into and not getting anything in return.\nTheir payment has to come from somewhere just like yours does. \nThat is the field of work they have chosen. You have chosen yours obviously outside of music and entertainment but why punish them?

There is no real program I know of that is free or easy downloadable. Maybe if you go to a record studio and ask them, maybe they will help you. Other than that I really don't know, if you do get one, PLZ LET ME KNOW!!!

If you really put the time and effort into it, and he knows that, then it really makes no difference.  I think he may like that better than the wallet, since this is more creative and unique.  Not to mention something that you make has a larger meaning than something you paid for that someone else made.

Its pretty much impossible to buy them or get them online.\n\nIts normally through someone you know who is well connected in the music industry etc.  Or someone who works backstage and has the power to give them out!
