I know there are a handful of users out there using Windows 8 which apparently has issues with Mix. Fender Bender set the browser in IE10 to compatibility mode and everything was working correctly. So if you have Windowws 8 and are seeing some issues with the site, please change your browser to compatibility mode (click the little paper looking icon in the address bar) for now. We should have a fix in a day or two.
Thanks,

Just a heads up that if you are looking for the comments box that was on the side of the main page, I moved it to the message are here. Just click the Site Comments button!
I am looking in to Private Notes also. If you are seeing an Invalid Message, make sure you select the user name when you type it in. This is a "Live Search" field so as you enter the name in the search, it will autopopulate. Just click on the name of the person you want to send it to. If you prefer to type it in, right now the field is case sensitive so if you message "admin" you will see an error but if you type "Admin" it will work fine.
Some people have asked why they are unable to message everyone on the site. This is simply a security feature. If you belong to Twitter, we follow the same rules. You can only message people you follow or people following you. This prevents morons like Kenny from Nigeria wanting to promote your music as he spams several thousand users on Mixposure.

Hey Everyone!
We are coming up to Halloween again and I wanted to remind everyone of the 8th Annual Halloween Song Submission. It may be the ninth I am losing track. Anyway, we wanted to give everyone some time to work on the tunes.
How does it work? Just create a spooky halloween tune! It can be any genre you like and can have vocals or no vocals. This is also an excellent opportunity to collaborate with some other Mixposure.com artists.
So please post any questions you may have. Let's hold off on posting any songs until October 1st. We will post more information around that time including what Genre to use. We will setup a special genre to make the songs easier to find.
Thanks,
Todd
Just a heads up everyone, Mixposure has teamed up with Indie Audio Mastering for all of your Audio Mastering needs.
Who is IAM and why did we team up? The simple reason is that Indie Audio Mastering is owned and operated by Rob Perez.
Who is Rob Perez? Good question! For many on Mixposure Rob's name will ring a bell since he has some of the most amazing music on Mixposure.com. Rob is the guy behind the band Visual Cliff and also Trinity Records. Rob has been around Mixposure.com since the early days.
But Can He Master Audio? Rob has done the finest mixing and mastering I have ever heard. There are artists from Mixposure.com that have used his services and I am sure they can also comment. I would also suggest visiting Rob's site on Mixposure as well as Indie Audio Mastering to get more details.

Bio:
Sarah Petrella Heats Up the Music Scene with Debut EP, Summer
Los Angeles, CA-- One can say that Sarah Petrella’s path to the release of her debut EP started from the moment she was born. She wrote her first song before the age of 10, and went on to immerse herself in musical theatre. Now Sarah brings her lifelong passion for songwriting to the world via a three song EP, titled Summer. The EP features two original songs and a powerful cover of Pearl Jam’s classic, “Daughter.” Summer was produced by Geza X Gedeon, best known for his work on Meredith Brooks’ smash hit, “Bitch.”
From a very young age, musical theatre gave Sarah the greatest opportunity to gain exceptional performing skills and constant practice of her writing abilities. While she performed consistently in both California and New York, Sarah never left her songwriting behind. She made her way to Nashville at just 15 years old, where she wrote and recorded with several prominent musicians including famed songwriter, Don Goodman. From that point on, Sarah continued to pursue a very successful career in musical theatre, but kept coming back to songwriting, which is now her full time artistic endeavor. As Sarah says, “Songwriting is my true love and passion.”
Sarah’s songs break the barriers of being genre-specific, and one can hear elements of pop, rock, folk, and even some country in her tunes. She notes influences as diverse as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Sara Bareilles in her music. Of the two original tracks, “Summer” and “Time Stands Still,” she claims the latter as her personal favorite because her younger sister made lyrical contributions to the song, and she considers it a great bonding moment in their relationship. KCRW, one of the most influential stations in the United States for independent music, says of Sarah: “She goes from light fun, to Broadway, to alt-folk rock in just three cuts-- Petrella is a musician in the fullest sense of the word.
Sarah decided to cover Pearl Jam’s “Daughter” as the final cut on the EP because of the strong influence the 90s rock era has on her music. She also felt that she could bring a unique female perspective to one of the band’s most moving songs. KCRW states that Sarah’s rendition is “…strong, sweet and I think better than the original, which is a classic.”
From a production standpoint, the connection that Sarah found with Geza X was immediate and incredibly special. “We always seem to read each other’s minds,” she says. In addition, Ben Harper's rhythm section stepped up to record on the disc. Sarah feels it was a perfect match and that the combination of Jordan Richardson on drums and Jesse Ingalls on bass brought her songs to life-- exactly how she was hearing them in her head.
Sarah hopes that her music will connect with people on a very deep and personal level, as her musical inspiration is derived from her life experiences and relationships. “Being able to listen to music and know exactly what the artist was thinking about is an amazing feeling. I want to be able to do that for others.”
