...I'm not asking any specific question here, I'm just interested to hear whatever anyone has to say, eg, what software do you use, best website for uploading to, any technical tips on recording/mixing etc.

Here are two quite good sites where you can upload your music and get some feedback on it. I don't know how you want to approach this but I use cubase but there are other programs who I believe have multitrack facility and are free. One is called Audacity......... There are so many ways of doing this that it's difficult to explain without actually knowing how much you already know about it. It all seemed a bit intimidating to me at first but you soon get used to it .

Thank you for your reply, woofer3, and for those links. I hadn't come across those sites before.
I wasn't posting the question as a complete "newbie"; I already write and record my own stuff, I just haven't uploaded it anywhere yet. I have many of the well-known open-source DAWs on my PC - Audacity, LMMS, Kristal, Nano, Hydrogen, Drumtrack, plus I bought Sony Acid something-or-other. I tend to stick with Audacity for basic recording and mixing, as it's the simplest to use and I know my way around it. (If I need to apply a particularly tricky effects chain to a track, I'll export just that track into Sony, tinker with it, save the result and export it back to Aud.)

OK glad that helped, the other sites I forgot to mention are Reverbnation and Souncloud sorry I don't have the links handy but just google the names and they'll almost certainly come up though I don't think theyre as sociable as the first two I mentioned. Best of luck.
