mdlbear There's a "one-man band" called Brad Sucks. Brad (that's the musician's name) gives his
music away on his website, including not only mp3's of all the
songs on the album but (here's the really cool part) the sources. Each
.zip file on that page contains all of the .wav
files that went into the mix. Also on that page are dozens of
remixes that people have sent in.
As he says on the front page, "Despite giving my music away for free online, my songs have been licensed for television, played on commercial and campus radio, and I made enough money from licensing and sales to do a real pressing of my first CD: I Don't Know What I'm Doing."
