It was all going OK until I actually wanted to communicate with a musician and then they wanted a credit card. Pretty much a bait and switch. I found https://www.musiciansconnect.net and never looked back. It's totally free as advertised.
I have been a member of Bandmix.com for a couple of years. I have been trying to find other musicians to start a band. I decided to become a paying member, I have sent messages to about a hundred, with no luck, Bandmix.com has stolen my money and not given me anything in return. This site is worthless, if this was a real musician site for musicians they would not charge you any money to find other musicians to start a band. My advice is to not bother with this website, it's a waste of time.
Use Houston Press or your local free press. I've found musicians in the local press classifieds that are far more qualified than the dummies that are willing to spend $100+ per year on bandmix. Bandmix is a Matchdotcom wanna be.
Yeah I know... they have a free version too.
This is a slightly higher tech cartoon version of Craigslist. Yup 99% of the people that use it suck badly at whatever aspect of music they aspire to.
FACT... if you are truly good at playing your instrument and/or singing, and have been at it for a long time, you've already established a dependable network of like-minded peers over the years. People you've played with professionally, or even on an amateur/avocation level. AND... you don't need these crappy internet affinity group subscriber services.
All of us that have been at it successfully in the music world for a while surely already know this.
Gone are the days when people were a bit more honest and objective about their skill level and experience. But these days with YT, FB (and all the rest of the garbage social media), and smartphone, any untalented idiot can put up garbage, or tweak content technically to make it appear as something it's not.
Gone are the days when people made skill and experience judgments quickly and person. Now they'd just rather mentally masturbate behind a PC with protools and doctor content. "GOT A VIDEO CLIP?" Sound familiar?
Bandmix is just another scamming bunch of grifters hiding behind a PC and current technology.
It's like having a classic car and going to a car show... car guys with their expensive perfect cars sit by their own cars to see how many peole come to see ttheir car (probably with a counter clicker). Us guys with the rat rods like to wander and enjoy the scenery.
I have never seen a group of so called musicians that dont answer their adds in the new England area.
Are their egos so big that they like just seeing your band mix add. Really tired of seeing the same adds. If you dont want to answer the add get off the site and give the people that want a good name to advertise. You are affecting the quality and reputation of band mix.
When looking for a particular talent or to join a band; or just to find people with whom to jam ~ the site is unparalleled. If you're new to Bandmix or are a musician or vocalist who have not provided a sample of audio clips; DO SO. Seriously ~ you're a singer looking to join a pop band and provide no audio snippets?
If you ensure your profile is relevant, with good audio or video content, it's very likely you'll be approached by someone looking for what you have to offer. There are a lot of people on the system, but the geographic and keyword searching makes it easy to narrow down the results.
I would emphasise, it really is worth putting the time in to upload at least some audio. So many people don't do that - the service only works for you if you put some effort in.
Been with band mix about 7 months, I first joined the free site, shortly I became a full member, boy is it with the 12 dollars a month. I found a couple of great guys that have lead me to two bands, One classic rock, and the other country. Wasn't looking for either when I started out. I was look g for a funk band, something similar to Graham Central Station. I am happy were I am now and I know I will meet the people I looking for. Thanks Bandmix.

If you just moved to a new town (like I had), it can be a little daunting to hit the ground running and find a bunch of like minded musicians to jam with -- but Bandmix allowed me to do just that. Musicians should take a look.
After a contentious break up with our long time lead singer, we were ready to take a break from music for a while as the thought of searching for a new singer was daunting. One night while browsing the internet, I came across Bandmix and started looking at some local profiles. It was really energizing to see that it wouldn't be as difficult as I thought to find a singer. I created a profile, upgraded and contacted a few guys in the area and one of them was a perfect fit. Killer pipes and best of all no ego, easy to work with. I'll definitely be recommending BandMix to my music friends.
This is a good website for all types of musicians. A good mix of pros and amateurs on here and easy to filter between them. Got me into the band I'm in now. Worth trying it out.
Our band was entirely formed using Bandmix. I found it incredibly easy to use and best of all it works! Just be sure to add pictures and audio clips if you want to get the most responses.
I was in a band shortly after joining, and the credit card fee for a one month membership, which means you can contact anybody, is honestly really priced fairly
Awesome site. It was easy to use and met up with like-minded musicians. The search filters and options were very helpful. If you're a musician, BandMix is a great resource.
Band Mix.com is the BEST site to accomplish your musical needs such as finding members, Looking for a band, etc. I've checked out other sites but they DON'T compare to BandMix, I wouldn't go to any other site.
Creating a profile was simple, and after just a few days, we were able to get together with several talented musicians. Definitely recommend if you are tired of all the shadiness on craigslist.
This is a great service for musicians. We were able to find a new guitarist for our band in a couple weeks. Easy to use and fast. We recommend Bandmix.
Bandmix worke well for me and i have found an amazing female singer for my project. Would use again if i need it. The website is to be applauded to for its ease of use.
it would be better if members had to put up some samples of their work. some folks do, most don't. sort of a crapshoot.
