I have been away for a while. Now when I post something on soundcloud I get what I consider inappropriate "offers" posted to my account. I see this happening to other people also.

I delete them and mark them as spam and block them but this is unwanted work to manage this.

Is there any way to automate this process?

Nope. Public system. If you account on any public system is open to the public it is open to the good public and the bad public.

Having been on here for years just like your good self, that has been seen as one of the big problems, as there are not many younger than 50.

Perhaps the stuff on soundcloud was worth it just to get you guys to make me laugh....lol

They can come over to the farm but they need dress up right. I don't want them scaring my chickens....lol

On a serious note, I don't really care what people do. There are kids who look at my soundcloud page. After looking around, this is a big issue for soundcloud and is costing them money.


Cheers,


Billy

EDIT...It was sure not my intent to write anything that would have the same results as the soundcloud issue. So I changed the wording a bit.

Yeah, but kids now aren't what we were when WE were kids. They are aware.

Andrew got involved when I requested him to, after I gave a gentle caution that was ignored.

This is a public forum open to children and we need to remember that and act appropriately. Yes, I wish we had young people participating but that doesn’t mean they aren’t reading these posts. Did you want your granddaughter reading that?

We would all prefer Andrew continues doing the wonderful work he normally does rather than deal with unnecessary nonsense here.

First of all I apologize for the original heading in the thread. I did change it as soon as I realized what was going on. I also modified my response to what others were joking about after I realized what Matt was trying to say. We don't normally interact with children here so they are not the first thing that comes to my mind.

The post was originally made for the very reason I would not want your grand kid to see the stuff that gets put on soundcloud without our permission or knolledge. I actually was not even thinking about the kids but about the people who are normally here.

Soundcloud is a site that is used to hold many of the songs that get posted here on this site. The issue is highly relevant to keeping our younger folks and older folks for that matter from being exposed to inappropriate content when you click on a song someone here has posted.

There are any number of issues that come up with accounts like soundcloud where people store many recordings. Some recordings may very well not be appropriate for this site. The only way you have real control is to prevent linking to any other site and that is not likely to happen.

Again, for anyone I have offended I apologize. In future post I will also try to be more cognoscente of the of words I use.


Cheers,

Billy

Good man, Billy. We're cool.

I don't use Soundcloud but your point was important. People of all sorts can comment on our music, and I don't have a good answer to this problem.

Let's just say those ladies are very affectionate. I have no idea how to send them on their way, either.

Somehow my SoundCloud account is relatively spam-free, with the exception of the accounts that promise more traffic. But I don't really have much activity except for in February during February Album Writing Month.

I just block/report them And also the ones promising a zillion plays in an hour smile I typically have one or two immediately after posting and then no more. Time expended per song post is less than a minute to dump them.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
