thats ok. personaly, i'd go less. like 3 or 4, but make sure 50% contains songs with your most common elements and only a little bit of your different stuff.

if you go to the websites of some companies, they'll have info on where to send demos and stuff.

There is a metal mag call Brave word and Bloddy Knuckles. They have a cd with every issue. Send the demo and if they like it they will put it on the compilation disc.
I think the wbsite is www.bravewords.com
If that doesnt work I'll find a better link
Hope this helps and good luck with your band!

ok, lets say i send a demo to century media records or nuclear blast, or another label of that equivelent....will they actually listen to it or will it get thrown in a massive pile of demos and sit for months before its either listened to or thrown out?
i know big companies like Virgin or Sony wont listen.............
im really serious about wanting to make a quality demo and sending 1000+ copies anywhere possible all over the world........i got the songs all written, I've been working on them for about 8 months now trying to make em perfect...i picked my 6 favorite and wanna record em..

Ok, depending on how much work you wanna do, record each seperate track on to computer and use a program called Pro Tools Free which can be downlaoded off www.digidesign.com. If you can learn to use this program and it can improve your sound 110%. Takes a lot of work though, that the only suggestion I have.
