This isn't an advert - I am not affiliated with this site beyond being a recent member.
However, this is a bit of a plug: I have found that there are a great bunch of guys here who will review any (electronic-related) music for what it is - and obviously I'm a little biased because almost all the reviews I've had are favourable 
My experience of the site so far is that if you review other's work, they will review yours - and most have useful things to say that can help you improve. Try it - see if it works for you: http://www.sectionz.com - SECTIONZ ...and feel free to review my stuff

Right on, thanks for the tip! Do you think the community there would be open to music that's a hybrid of rock and electronica? That's what we do, and we've unfortunately found that there's a large contingent of electronica fans that can't abide any kind of rock. ------------- Pure Brilliance:

^Absolutely they are - when I posted my first couple of songs, I got reviews from people who were overjoyed to hear rock/electronica - as that is what we do/attempt to do.
There are two members, namely Vaso (http://www.sectionz.com/artist.asp?SZID=5448) and Distorted Skittle (http://www.sectionz.com/artist.asp?SZID=5670) who both produce some music with different kinds of approaches to rock/electronica that border on the proggy - and are both very helpful - which is why I immediately thought that ProgArchives members would be interested in this community, after I'd had a couple of reviews from these guys. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

It's a site for computer music enthusiasts.
If you produce music on your computer, then you'll be welcomed. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

What sort of software would you reccomend for producing music on the PC? Any freeware? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I haven't used much else since I settled on Sony's ACID Pro software - you can get a completely free and un-time-bombed version from Sony here: http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/download/step2.asp?DID=551
There are user-friendlier packages around - a lot of people on Sectionz seem to use Fruity Loops, and I used to use Magix (costs around £50), which is a fully-featured VST compatible audio studio, with full MIDI support and a bunch of free software synths - including a drum machine. Utter bargain IMO, but it's not quite as flexible as ACID, as you'd expect from a package that costs 10 times more. At the end of the day, it depends on how you like to work, so it pays to try as many packages as you can - and I think there have been threads in the past about the software people use. ------------- The important thing is not to stop questioning. |

As a starter, I'll try the Sony ACID, and see hgow it goes from there. Thanks Mark! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">
