How To Do Your Own Audio Mastering Video
7.3.09 at 5:03pm
Read more...Here's part 1 of a video series on how to do your own audio mastering. I've been using IK Multimedia's T-Racks Deluxe mastering software for some time and if you're going to try to do it at home, it's the most comprehensive software package that I've found. Inexpensive too.
But just because you own a hammer doesn't mean you know how to swing it. You'll get great results if you drive it well, but the problem is that most mastering neophytes expect too much from a powerful piece of software like this and the results are sometimes disastrous. I hope this video and the others forthcoming will provide enough info for better results.

Response to: ReverbNation Survey: How is the Economic Downturn Affecting Artists?
7.3.09 at 4:25pm
Read more...My response to this survey: http://ow.ly/gsSA
As the artist's tour money dries up, and their fans continue downloading for free, with no money going to the artists at all, a bleak picture seems to be painted for the future of music.
However, what would happen if artists took one last ditch effort to join together all at once, and used their power for good. I am talking about supporting a new model for the music industry. One that utilizes the vast artist and fan communities for purposes like free cross-promotion, distribution, ad revenues from song previews and profile views, as well as video views, streaming concerts and ticket sales, video music lessons or battles, show bookings, feedback, merchandise and equipment sales, musical-component or "stem" sales, and a LOT more. Now all of a sudden, with a simple change in direction towards the predominant new trends engulfing the music industry, and not away from them, us independent artists can begin to open up a number of new revenue streams for ourselves, while at the same time offering the best possible value to our consumers or fans, who are also hurting right now. This new model is called Beat-Play. All of this is possible because Beat-Play is a level, risk-free environment for music of all kinds. This means all music is free to post for sale. Beat-Play doesn't get paid until the artists or producers get paid, so for that reason, the artists and producers are promoted for free! Beat-Play only takes a very reasonable 5.5% of each sale. All sales prices, as well as every other aspect of an artists professional and creative musical careers is directly decided by the artists themselves.
Eventually, with this system, the best artists will be able to give their music away for free, and still be completely supported by ad revenues that they draw in.
WELCOME TO THE NEW FUTURE OF MUSIC!

Derek Sivers: "Make Your Own Success First"
7.1.09 at 2:06am
Read more...From 1990 to 1992 I ran the New York archives at Warner/Chappell Music Publishing.
(The music publishing business gives a cash advance to a songwriter in return for owning half the income generated from their songs. The publisher is betting that the songs will earn at least that much, whether recorded by a famous artist or the songwriter themselves.)
One day, as I walked by someone's desk, I noticed she had accidently left out the balance sheet showing every songwriter signed to the New York office, their cash advance, and how much they had earned. I quickly took it to the Xerox machine, made a copy, and put it back.

Pandora Forces $29.95 Payments From Indie Bands
7.1.09 at 2:04am
Read more...
Until recently, Pandora accepted music from indie artists at no cost in almost any form including home burned CD-R's. But now, in part because of a deal to display album cover art via Amazon's servers, submissions must be available as a physical CD for sale on Amazon and include cover art and a UPC code to even be considered for airplay.
Compliance with the new rules will cost artists in several ways. According to its FAQ page, to get play on Pandora you now need:
* Cd many a CD of your music
* a unique UPC code for that CD
* your CD to be available through Amazon (must be a physical CD, not just MP3s for download)
* the legal rights to your music
* MP3 files for two of the songs from your CD
* free Pandora account, based on a valid email address, which can be associated with your musicmore at http://hypebot.com
Featured Artist
Apex Vibe
Five Individuals come together to create positive music to spread a message of love, revolution, and unity. This sound is Apex Vibe.
Appearing on the Denver music scene in January of 2007 with the intention of making music "people can dance to", Apex Vibe has clearly met that challenge and more. Known for their electric live performances, sharing the stage with artists like Mystic Roots Band, Flobots, Collie Buddz, Selasee, Passafire, and the Supervillians, plus lots of crowd participation, every show they play is an improvement and a bar for which they keep raising for themselves. With one E.P. "Rhythm Music" released Oct. 2007 (available on iTunes) and the single "Saturday Morning" being released June. 2009 as part of their first full length effort yet to be released the catchy hook laden lyrics of Tim Sanchez's vocals and the riveting guitar playing of Dirka are apparent. Backed by a solid rhythm section with Will Lovell on bass, Sam Caudill on keys, and Dubs on drums the sound is unique but also might take you back to the Omaha roots of 311, or the Long Beach sounds of Sublime, your grandma might even crack a 40 oz after just a few minutes. Either way the joint effort of writing songs as a band together and tirelessly digging deep to find the pocket has helped the band's sound come full circle from it's origins in an orange basement on the west side of Denver. Apex Vibe is not your normal white boy reggae, they are reaching for a new place in time where dub reggae hooks up with the foundation of rock n roll and is baked at a Mile High.

- Info:
In the wake of a successful run with the highly acclaimed progressive tech rock band, Utopian Skyline, Aaron Miller began his next musical adventure with some familiar faces of his past. He first called up bass guitar extraordinaire, Dan Lucas, with ideas to start a band to end all limits. The two's previous history in the national touring acts, Sceva and The Midnight Drive, gave the duo an intensity of extreme resonance and preference in eachothers' songwriting. Miller recalled his most loyal appreciative, Danny Eckrich, to bring his guitar playing abilities to the mix. Eckrich and Miller have a unique mixture of progressive, punk and sometimes even pop sounding elements. Chad Adams, former keyboardist of regional heavy-hitters: Hierosonic, left his band to play his true instrument of heart, the drums. Thus, completing the next band to invade the airwaves all across the nation.

I am a lyricist, a producer, a poet, a business man, and an innovator. I have my own studio (seen in the pic) but I'm mostly focusing on my business right now, rather than recording, though I still write frequently. I write mostly rap lyrics, but I dabble in R&B and Rock, and the combining of all three. My influences, in order, are Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Eminem, Tribe Called Quest, Jadakiss, Dre, Big L, The Beatles, Buckethead, Ronald Jenkees..and I couldn't even try to name them all. Im also the Founder and President of MWL and Beat-Play. I hope to, with these 2 websites, promote an environment full of an organic evolution of the music, and also the people involved, so that music can live on harmoniously, with the people fully certain that their legacies will go on the way that they intended, and not how some major label wanted.

- Info:
Lokesh aka Tranzatma, born in New Delhi, currently lives, DJs and produces music in San Francisco, California. His genre defying music includes Indian/World Fusion, Ethnic Electronica, Progressive Trance, Psytrance, Dubstep and Drum-N-Bass. His music transcends geographical or cultural boundaries, and mixing eastern and western sounds seamlessly comes naturally to him. His compositions tell a story which is both mysterious and in-your-face.
As part of a few Bay Area collectives (including Geomagnetic, Vishnu Operative and Ultraviolet Carnival), Lokesh has collaborated with many musicians in San Francisco. He has performed all over the Bay area including the legendary 1015 Folsom, Supperclub, Burning Man Festival, Kellys, Shine etc. He has shared the stage with international artists like Karsh Kale, Chebi Sabbah, Doctor Spook, Tall Sasha, Micropixie etc. His tracks and sets have been featured on BBC Asia Network, World Fusion Radio and IndianElectronica.com.
UTOPIA is the first full-length album from Lokesh. It’s a concept album with heavy Ethnic, Rock and Electronica influences. As a follow-up to the successful Soul Rush EP by Lokesh, Utopia blurs the line between various electronic music genres, especially Trance, Drum-N-Bass, Dubstep, Progressive House and Indian/World Electronica. And its message is loud and clear - Music is the new universal language that’s ever-evolving.

STIR CRAZY Music Production!
Super-producer Stir Crazy has stamped his imprint on the music scene since 2003. His production has helped create career defining hits for artists such as Potluck, D12, Bizzy Bone, Toxsick, Kamal, Tre Pound, SOL, T.O.N.Ez, The Insane Clown Posse and many others. Respected beyond the genres of hip hop and urban music, Stir Crazy, has also been sought by superstars and underground legends whose music needs a new edge.
Born Jesse Elliott in Detroit, Michigan on December 23, 1986, Stir Crazy has had many reincarnations-- from a partnership in the label Super Phat Productions, and involved in a super group which consists of Dood Computer (of Doom Fist) and Himself.
Chop Shops smash hit single ‘Heart”, and Kamal’s debut cd Certified produced by Stir Crazy, introduced a unique style that defined the new wave of music in the years too come. Hip Hop and R&B with crazy effects held together by complex drum patterns. Death B4 Dishoner a group consisting of Lokey, T.O.N.Ez and Stir Crazy proved Stir Crazy could step out his normal boundaries and do heavy metal and rock production.
Recently he has helped form, and in a music group with Dood Computer from Albany, New York and about to release there new upcoming album. The reason this album is getting so much attention is because of the marketing. It is coming out on cassette tape only.Stir Crazy’s sound is unexplainable, and meant to be listened to, not read….
His partnership with fellow producer Tre Pound, has spanned the untouchable label Super Phat Productions, and there trademark sound has spawned numerous imitators in the Detroit area. Still known as the originators of the new wave of Detroit sound when it comes to hip hop and R&B music.
Along the way he built an impressive arsenal of studio equipment, and worked/works at many studios in Detroit where he does most of his production. He regularly travels between his home studio and other studios around the area and other states working on many projects.
Stir Crazy’s genre breaking has changed music today and he takes pride in his success at staying ahead of the game with his experimentation and originality. Hard working and confident, his goal is to always stay ten steps ahead of the competitors while making fans not only hear but ‘feel’ music.
One thing Stir Crazy has on his side, other than incredible talent, is visibility. He has been featured on numerous websites as well as print.. He has been seen on several DVD’s, and he has a role in a feature film, Zombie Prom.. Then there are his numerous other appearances and accomplishments. He was named producer of the year by Juggalo News by voting of fans. The acknowledgment came as a surprise, he got a message that he was going to be featured, and there he was, without having to submit anything about himself. The word is out!
“You can accomplish any dream or goals in life, with hard work and confidence” says the dedicated Stir Crazy. He is a innovator of sound which continues to set new standards, while always expanding his musical palette.
High quality and affordable music production and recording!!!!!!!!!
