New Ensoniq Related Site Proposal

2005-03-02 by Alan

Ensoniq Folks,

I would like to hear what the Ensoniq community thinks about the 
following idea that I am considering pursuing. And let me emphasize 
the word – "CONSIDERING".

Several weeks ago I tried to post the "Demo Songs" for the VFX and 
SD1 to the "File" section of our community here but there wasn't 
enough storage space for three MP3 selections (about 4 meg or so). 
That got me to thinking........

How `bout creating a website primarily for Ensoniq users to showcase 
their music. I must emphasize that it is to showcase or share music 
and not to sell music. Let me give an example.

Let's say you have a piece of music you have created or composed 
using an Ensoniq synthesizer, at least in part. The song is posted 
to the site under your name to include brief bio information. Also 
included would be basic information such as included patches, 
samples, loops, etc. In addition, if an on-board sequencer was used 
or a computer software sequencer. Also included would be the other 
synthesizers, sound modules, effect processors, etc. used in the 
selection. Kind of a song "show and tell" or the "anatomy of my 
song" if you will. Almost a work-shop type presentation.

You would have to get your song into an "MP3" format for 
presentation. There would be no charge for posting your song(s) 
although there would be legal matters to address, depending on 
whether it was your composition or a previously released piece of 
music. Streaming or downloading the selection might be an option but 
again – NO SELLING OF SONGS. And certainly there would be linking 
back to your website if you have one.

Well, hopefully that is a very brief scenario to give you an idea of 
my idea. Need some of your thoughts and opinions – both pro and con. 
Perhaps you know of someone who is already doing something similar 
to this?

Thanks,
Alan

P.S. – For anyone wanting to reply privately (tekoband@...)
