black_matter Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 There's honest to god, soooooooooooooo many things in it that you'll just never get through all of it. Some of it can be kinda trivial and stupid, also the bigwig companies NEVER get back. It's banter to try anyway we bought the 2006 edition and loved it, we'll definintly be getting the 2007 edition as it's been updated with better features.

black_matter Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Was it worth it though? What did it help you achieve?Well, considering the actually edition itself was a gift to the band, it makes the recognition gained from posting demo's out that little bit sweeter.

Stripey Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 This thread is just spam and ought to be deleted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevealex35 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 It might have started off as spam but it would be good to hear some other opinions before it is deleted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_matter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Is it spam though? Is it not marketing something highly useful for a lot of aberdeen-music users? Haven't checked the rules on spam for this site, so it's more of a question than a disagreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 You could probably make a good argument for it being spam, but it's a product that is very much relevent and useful to the core user base of this site so there's no need to remove it.

black_matter Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Well I highly doubt it's offending anyone in anyway so yeah, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I may be getting a copy that can be used for referencing in my wee library at Peacock Visual Arts reception. They are installing a small reading, drop in area so you will be able to come in and use the books with somewhere to sit.This post cancels out the Spam effect. Although, as stated, it's a very useful and relatively inexpensive tool for bands, musicians, managers etc. So I'm not feeling the spam too much.
