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 However the site is not curated and lots of info is out of date.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 has worked for me twice now, however services
Are a little pricy... overall I would say it's worth it if you need a particular part of your band filled, both times took about a month too fill our vacancies in my band.
I used the free version if this site and it worked really well. I met incredible musicians on here, made lasting friends and connections. Hooked up with professionals and got paid, legitimate, and recurring session work. I am a professional musician myself so I think my profile attracted genuine offers. Also received offers from people who weren't good matches or wanted free work but I disregarded or politely declined those.
I was really surprised that I hadn't heard of bandmix before as I've been a musician for over 20 years and played in a bunch of different groups. Finding the right cat to fill a spot can be a tricky thing. Bandmix is really well organized and allowed us to find some horn players real quickly. Musicians looking to get serious should check it out.
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.
Maybe it was the lockdown, people seem to have varying levels of success on here, but for me it worked out great. I think it really comes down to what you put into it. I added a bunch of music and a detailed description for what I wanted to do and was able to find a really tight group. We even started working on our own material last week. I never would've met these guys without bandmix, so thanks!
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.
Bandmix wouldn't be making enough greed $$$$$ if they made the site function as it should, because they wouldn't be making money on continual memberships if everyone found band members within 30 days. So they intentionally create lost messages and typical (search for people) website scemes.
Found a great collaboration thanks to it. Highly recommended. Lots of opportunities, will use again as long as they don't ask money for simple profiles.
