When a friend of mine referred me to sonicbids years ago I was very excited about this service but I'm finding sonicbids not as good of a platform as I wished it to be.
I am a Mac user and I'm finding it utterly frustrating to be having constant issues with Sonicbids and Safari. A small gig listing can take much time. The only solution they have offered to me, is to use Chrome. As this is a site geared to musicians and many of us use Mac, I would appreciate a bit more effort from their part to make the site user friendly. A small gig listing can take forever it's not accepted. I used to enbed the gig listing part to my website but the information I'm required to enter into Sonicbids doesn't show on my website. Simple things like the address of a venue... and other important details. As my gig listings are important I'm back to entereing everything to my website. I would appreciate support by phone if I need it. I know many companies don't do this anymore but it certainly is a plus. Support gets back timely but things could move faster with phone support. Lastly the venues offered by sonicbids are not as versatile as I wish them to be (mainly geared to Rock and Singer Songwriters). Many, if not most are unpaid. This is a professional site for professional musicians. One would think to get offered professional rates instead of being asked to travel to some place with no compensation or place to stay. I guess one has to be a millionaire to be a working musician then. Music is a business and yes, musicians deserve to get paid well for all the hard work and effort they put into their work.
