maybe it would also be cool if people are posting lots of recordings, they would just add to their own thread instead of creating new ones. That way, you can hear all of the songs be each member in one place.

That's true .. but then there wouldn't really be a way for you to know if they'd posted a new song or not.

yeh, whenever the thread is updated, it'll move to the top (or appear 'unread' if you're signed in).

Yeah, but how would you know if that means a new recording was posted or just a comment by someone else on a previous song?

That's how we did this on a board I help run. Though on that one, the thread owner can edit the title and the first post which I don't think Homerecording allows you to do unless there's been a change of policy.
That way, you can set the title to contain the latest song and the date. Posters in the art section are encouraged to maintain an index in the first post, pointing to the works they've posted in their thread.
That has the advantages that you have an artist's works gathered in a single place instead of strewn messily around the forum, but I don't know how well it would work on this board.

That said, it can take courage to actually post something you've been working on, I have felt more comfortable just adding my songs to this thread rather than starting a new one for a single song (that just feels kind of... well, shameless)

that's a good point ... I guess it is kind of ballsy in a sense, but if it's considered acceptable, I think the attitude might change.
 
Here's a four-song demo, Anything But... The YaYas. I engineered this in 1986 on a Tascam 246, mixed to sterep cassette. I also played guitar (the crunchy, echoey ones) and provided hysterical laughter.

I'm still in touch with the 2nd singer/rhythm guitarist, we wish we could find the other members, re-record these four songs, and then see what the band could become from there.

Ok I just set up a website and I guess I'm ready to start sharing it, so here it is:

Joseph Irvin

Has my first single from my upcoming album Lacrimosa, recorded last year on a Teac A-2340RS. Mostly used a Behringer Eruoback mixer for a preamp and a few Shure mics (Beta 58, SM57). All-acoustic.
 
I like the progression. However you recorded it gave the percussive track an almost 'backward' feel. It puts me in a 'dark' mood.
 
Here are a few tracks from a project which has taken quite some time to start! :-) Tracked and mixed the album over 2 months, evenings & weekends. Tracked live to 1" 8-track MX70, drums bounced from 4 tracks to 2 then vocals & 2nd guitar overdubbed. Then mixed to 1/4" 2-track Tascam 32, using basic cheap compressors, analog guitar pedals for distortion, flanger & chorus, and using my bathroom as the reverb chamber :-). ART Pro VLA on main buss...

Nice, though it actually sounds a little too clean and polished for punk :3

Yea quite true! We've usually just gone with the Punk tag cos the music is ultra-simple yet fast and bouncy... Shame we don't have enough funds to press it to vinyl. If so, we'd do it 100% analog by sending the master tape to pressing plant :D

Hmmm was about to go on a rant about pressing plants/mastering houses using digital delay or other digital processing to cut master tapes to vinyl, but maybe you already know...just make sure wherever you take it has a tape deck with a preview head or something.

Oh, and I can hear the punk in those songs...if it's polished, I call that "pop-punk," though I was thinking more of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists myself.

I hadn't noticed the tag, I was going by the content...

After doing a mini-arc about the overthrowing of a tyrant in a webcomic I am working on (see cover), and probably because I was also reading the Ice and Fire books at the time, I found myself singing a silly ditty on the way home from work one day.
It wouldn't go away, and gradually evolved into this song.

Instruments used:
Roland MVS-1, JV1010
Korg Triton Ex, Hammond XM-1 w/Rotosphere
Creamware Minimax ASB
TornadoTron
Epiphone Thunderbird Gothic

Other stuff: Watkins Copicat Mk4, Small Clone chorus

Synthesizers sequenced in Cakewalk and Rosegarden
Vocals and bass recorded to TASCAM TSR-8, then transferred to an MSR-24 for mixdown using an ATS-500 synchronizer, on SM911 tape.
Mixed to a Studer A807 on SM900 tape.

I got bored and added some production tricks like running some of the vocals through the Leslie simulator, and true flip-the-tape-over reverse reverb.
