BandMix.com

I did not sign up for a subscription but merely paid a one-time fee to have one of my songs "remastered." A $10 waste of money but worse - they fraudulently signed me up for a one-year paid membership at that same time. I did not notice until this year (today) when they charged me $100 for a renewal. So far, they've stolen $200 from me. I'm reporting them far and wide and also submitting a case to small claims court in my city. They need to be charged and shut down immediately. This is theft. I'm not one to sit idly by while anyone takes advantage of me while stealing from my credit card.

I did manage to put a band together partly by using bandmix. However the site is not curated and lots of info is out of date. Active over a month ago can mean 5 weeks or 5 years! If you want to send a message it will cost £12 for a 1 month membership. Membership automatically renews so unless you are awake they'll get it twice. New musician notifications seem completely useless, either 10s of miles or counties away, and often lead to inactive members.
Improvements suggested: sort the above and ditch members that haven't been active (logged-in) for 12 months (they may be breaking GDPR rules for not doing so).

It's not for musicians. This is a site only for professionals who want to be in a gigging band. I work professionally and have music as a hobby. This site is not for me and it took me a while and money spent and frustration with the messages that I was paying to use. No real option or chance for connection with other people who play instruments, like music, etc. Waste of everything.

My husband Kenny Brent and I used Band Mix for 10 plus years and it really turned out to be something we utilized and had success with. Finding the right musicians quickly when something unexpected comes up or when a long term project was coming up, we found Band Mix was a site we automatically posted on and many times we found a great fit. The profile information is set up so you can really read between the lines if you know what I mean? It was easy to see if someone was hyping themselves to be something they were not. Example one drummer who responded to us had his profile as professional, practiced all the time, could play all genres, a golden find. But he had only played 4 gigs and had pretty much had no live stage experience and Kenny still talked to him and he had no clue to anything Kenny was asking. On the other hand the MAJORITY of the members were upfront, professional and almost by the 1st message you could get the vibe if they were going to be the one. It's so simple to set up account, and profile covers everything you would want to know before an interview if you were a company. So applicants are basically a phone call and/or possibly a practice away. The free site is great for struggling musicians (arent they all? Lol) and after you make a few bucks, sign up for the upgrade and instant access to available musicians not only in your local area, but access to musicians all over so it you need to meet up with one across the U.S. for a gig you are in need of a musician there. Thanks Band Mix for saving us in many situations throughout Kenny Brent's life and career!

Absolutely waste of time, effort and money. Most of the posts you see are not real people but bots, fake accounts as no one ever responds back to your messages no matter what you write ask offer or say, and no one ever contacts you. Yet they will keep advertising day in week out month after month year after year, same profile, all active but never responding to your messages or contacting you EVER. You will NEVER find a musician to work with and will spend hours of your life scrolling these ads of FAKE PEOPLE that DON'T EXIST or are the stupidest arrogant wannabe time wasters who get a kick out of advertising themselves just to get messages to make themselves feel popular but who have no intention of following up. Probably because they are useless musicians or not even musicians or using it as a dating site

A cheesy site that asks for a lot of stupid info (um 'what gear do you own?') that would only be of interest to people who can't actually play. Charging people to list their details and to be able to interact via the site is crazy (they should list for free and make their money via advertising on the site), and those bs auto emails you get every week claiming that '12 people have viewed your profile this week' are just fiction.

After I explained that the site did not work out for me, they refused to refund my RECENT auto subscription. Claimed they would give me the credit on account THAT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE.
Save your money for something less useless!

BandMix is not a fair play platform. Apparently Bandmix admin blocks your messages on the messaging feature when you are trying to contact musicians using Premium paid membership. Sent out more than a hundred messages and not one responded, or even viewed my profile until I complained they allowed one view in. So it works if Bandmix don't block messaging from someone they don't like for some reason. One month and cancelled renewal. SAVE YOUR MONEY and a whole lot of frustration.
