Hi Folks.

I want to post a short user track to the forum... I zipped UserTrack folder, it is 35megs...
Forum does not accept zips. What (service) should I use to upload and post?

Thank you.

Can you use a DropBox account (or similar) and then include the link to the file in your post?

Go to soundcloud and you can set up several accounts or just use one. Post it there as an MP3 and post the link to the page here and you're good.

Drop Box also works well for this and it's easy to edit and delete as needed. You can also share the folder in Dropbox with collaborators.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

If you are posting to SoundCloud do so as a .wav, flac or other lossless format at 48k 16 bit. That is the best format for SoundCloud upload. See the SoundCloud site.

Ensure you loudness is correct. About -9 to -13 LUFS. That way people can get the best listening and/or download. Make the peak less than -1 dB to ensure no clipping when Soundcloud do their conversion.

Yet another option is to create a new (free) gmail account and open a new (free) dropBox account with that.
Or open a free Outlook account and do the same with the free OneDrive.

Lots of options available.

The point is to get the content hosted somewhere other than PGMusic. Then you can link to it there.

It's a shame PG could not host UserTracks as there are too many dead (dropbox) links in the UserTrack forum and this way all the links are in one place permanently.
They should be able to increase the upload size and add zip-rar-7zip option just in the UserTrack forum.
There are UserTracks hosted here https://www.realband.org/usertracks.html but they won't be there permanently.

Yeah, vetting these and providing hosting space would seem appropriate. I agree with Pipeline in that regard.
I was just suggesting alternative ways to 'get er done'.
Same with some of the old BB song collections that have been shared; they are a treasure trove PGMusic could easily harness.
Or at the very least archive/store.

Definitely a great idea if this was possible to achieve.

I didn't read all the replies but the sort answer is you DON"T upload your tracks to the forum. You upload a link to the track that is stored elsewhere.


I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
