As part of the SoundCloud Global Meetup in Dublin, I’ve talked about takesquestions.com
We all know how important it is for an artist to engage with their fans. Facebook, Twitter and other platforms have enabled a more direct fan to artist approach but let’s push it further. How about answering questions from your fans in a recording?

Take Questions is the perfect tool to do so. Jointly with SoundCloud, people can record their questions for you to answer them back. It’s that simple.

Now that you are on SoundCloud, why not stream directly onto your website?

At the SoundCloud Meetup in Dublin, I talked about the SoundCloud’s Stratus player.

Stratus player is a jQuery SoundCloud music player that can be easily integrated into your website. It enables all visitors to listen to your music while they navigate through your pages. It streams directly from your SoundCloud account and it is very simple to customise. You can place the player at the top or the bottom of your website. It works on the iPhone and Ipad.

At the last SoundCloud Global Meetup in Dublin, I gave some tips and tricks about online integration. Thinglink was one of them. What is Thinglink?

Thinglink makes your images talk. That’s right. You tag your images to links. This means that you can expand your image interactions by adding links to your online profiles, your music and sounds, your online shop, a gig’s venue, etc.

If anyone tries that “Poutine” I talked about, let me know what you think. Don’t forget you need the curd cheese for it to be the real thing. A favourite with Montrealer music geeks – that was for you Stephane ;-)

This is it! That was another SoundCloud Global Day Meetup. It was a good night here in Dublin.

“The Meaning of Sound, According to You”

From Sydney to San Francisco and from Tokyo to Rio, SoundClouders and enthusiasts are invited to join SoundCloud for global get-together.

Every day we encounter sounds that affect us in many different ways. We use sound to communicate, to connect with people all over the globe, to process information, to express ourselves. We create sounds for the same reasons, sometimes explicitly, sometimes implicitly.

We are happy to announced the Dublin Meetup is free and will be hosted at SING SING (beneath Mercantile bar) on Dame Lane starting at 7pm. All producers, radios, labels, artists or simply enthusiasts are invited to join us and share their experiences of sound.

This is it! We’ve done it! Cork held it’s first SoundCloud Meetup @ The Roundy last night.

What a night! First of all a big THANK YOU for all who attended. It is great to see that people are showing interest in this kind of sharing/networking night. In these times of doom & gloom in Ireland, I believe that the art is a crucial piece of the puzzle for getting people together and keeping everyone sane.

Following the Dublin Soundcloud Meetup success, we’ve decide to have one in Cork.

The purpose of the SoundCloud Meetup is for fellow users to meet in real life. We think that it is a great opportunity for sharing ideas, networking and meeting like-minded people. If you are musician, DJ, label, or simply a listener, you are invited to come over ;-)

This meetup was a first and it was mainly to feel the pulse of everyone.
