The site now supports soundcloud embedding.

To embed tracks in your post, from soundcloud copy and paste the Share -> Embed code and extract the 8+ digit number in the "tracks/" url and place inside a soundcloud bb tag like so: (square brackets for real thing).
{soundcloud 36333839}

embed?? nothing I get from soundcloud looks like your post.. I get a https link or else some "frame something or other. Are you sure 8 digit number- I see 9 digit number when I select embed code??

How does this sound? I have made well over 30 or 40 songs- some live recorded- some multi-tracked live- some created with the music application "Reason" which is a high end music creation tool. I also play keyboards, guitar, wind instruments, (and I have a lot of old and new synths)

ok finally sorted this out.....

you have to use the SQUARE Brackets [ ] - not the curly brackets { }

Apologies, updated instructions.

Also, am enjoying The Last Day I Saw You very much.

thx Skid, I am liking this Soundcloud thing! I will post some more songs today... I use Goldwave to shrink my wav files down to mp3..I realize now I could post all or most of my songs to Soundcloud with the basic free 80 megabyte limit.

here's another! "Slofinger"

Nice, I'm thinking Slofinger is deserving of some lyrics, have you done anything with words and music?

I have now added vimeo bbtag support also - {vimeo video_id}:

@skid I frequently come up with song ideas early mornings- music and words both...I suspect when I am semi-conscious dreaming. Funny thing is within an hour or so it fades in my mind. I used to keep a notepad on the night stand to jot down lyrics.
What are the instruments or software tools you are using to create your music Skid?

Last night I was on harmonium reed organ with mandolin and vocals. More typically I play bass and scream loudly.

On the computer I have been using garage band and mainstage for last few years. If I ever get a new Mac I will move to logic.

testing.

Posting from the ipad is not simple it seems but it works.

@Skidracer -I have a harmonium from India also!! dual bank (5/4) sliders. Its a great instrument, one hand for the bellows, one for the keyboard- quite hypnotic! I have a banjo-another fine instrument..
@Pakz- nice work..keep at it! :)
