1. Don't recommend Indaba

Someone took some lyrics I posted there and tried to collaborate with someone else on them without even contacting me. That was my experience at Indaba so take it for what it's worth.

Musicians Collaboration (type into Google), on the other hand has some really nice people and professionals as members. Haven't collaborated there in years so don't know how busy it is now but that's where I'd recommend you look for collaborations. You have to register to see the forums, though.

One thing about online collaborations is the stats are like 1 out 20 submissions you make will get picked up for a collab and I personally find online collaboration notoriously slow. That's why, although the few collaborations I've had online have been very rewarding, I haven't bothered with trying to collab in a few years. I'm planning to just get Logic and do it all myself.

But depending on what instrument you play, you might be buried in collaborations at MC before you know it.

Best of luck to you.
