Is it okay to upload your unfinish-

[hhhh]

Question: is it okay to upload your unfinished work to show other artists?

I wanted to upload a song or two and ask the fellow artists around here for some ideas on drum tracks to go along with these songs.(i play guitar) I've tried a few things but it's either the riff or the drums but something isn't fitting.

Anyways sorry to go on.
I'm reading the rules and i don't see anything on it.

Thanks.
P.s. If not are there any means allowed such as linking to the song uploaded on a music site just for reference?

You can upload whatever you want, as long as you made it yourself.

No it's not. If you're using Fruity Loops, ask all questions in the FL Thread.

Work in progress thread

Also, if you have any more questions, look at this page in the guide.

Wow thanks loads dude.

Some good links and suggestions for drum making softwares in there to!
EZdrummer seems pretty cool.

I'm gonna keep reading into it and get back to writing.

One last little question. it seems frowned upon using samples of peoples songs. So How does the whole thing go about using loops? say if you just made a whole song out of premade loops on some program like garageband or w/e. uploading that = no no?

grageband loops are grately frowned upon and you will be banned for using them. I suggest not using premade loops in any program.

percussion loops are ok but premade melodic or sound loops are not ok. hope that i didn't confuse you.

and thanks for asking before uploading!

Nope i understood it all :P. Alright good to know.
Drums and percussion = yes.
Melody(guitars,piano,bass) = No.

I actually tried to upload one with melodic loops. i was wondering why it never showed up. Crap... hope it didn't ban myself from posting future content XD.

Thanks for all the info guys.

Haha sadly that was accidental. i ran out of typing space for the title. I only realized it a bit later.

Well that's pretty much it. I'm all out of questions unless anyways got anything to add on anything i should know... Go ahead and lock if you want.

Generally speaking, your own work consists of :

your own composed melody and percussion patterns, usually your own sound effects (but everyone loves vengeance anyways) and usually your own settings for synths (but no one is going to get on your case if you use a preset really, they'll just call it generic, even though you should strive to make your own unique sound)

just in case there was any confusion.

oh and your own samples. (or at least tweak teh' shit outta copyright-free samples)

99% of the stuff I upload is unfinished, so I'd certainly hope so.

If you are looking for feedback, you might also check out the Review Request club, they have their own guidelines so be sure to read through them. I usually get a few good reviews from that group.
