Anyone automate EQ's here? Story and question...
You're lucky because I'm "saving" a track right now mixed by another asshole that is charging my buddy at a certain place way too much for the bullshit time he put into it. (Note to cats really keen on production - it's the only place where you can get a down payment of a house up front, and... -
Anyone automate EQ's here? Story and question...
LDB: Thanks for defining to these folks what EQ automation is. It's good to see that there still are folks that are trained to do this. Chrono: The joy of PT is the fact that you can do this without having to sit at a Neve desk and replay/record automation, fuck up- do it again... In PT, you... -

Anyone automate EQ's here? Story and question...
An artist is working with a shitty producer. Friend's artist. I listened to the demo-cuts. They sucked. Basically, a good artist is being pawned off because there's no more money in the budget for (artist.) Paid the engineer enough for 10 lap dances at a good club to get the artist's vox... -
Have ANY of you solicited a manager or agent? What are your thoughts? I'm curious.
-THIS POST IS NOT BUSINESS OR LEGAL ADVICE, CONSULT A LAWYER FOR ANY LEGAL QUESTIONS. DO NOT BASE DECISIONS WITH A FINANCIAL OUTCOME ON STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS POST.- 1. a) First, get the right demo and press kit set up. Be professional, think like a businessman. Have a social networking... -
Gotcha....rappers please don't sing!
^^^ Don't know if that's a sleight of sarcasm at the occasional tittie-bar martini lunch I have or if you're being genuine. You've got talent. Depends what you do with it. -
Have ANY of you solicited a manager or agent? What are your thoughts? I'm curious.
THIS POST IS NOT BUSINESS OR LEGAL ADVICE. YES YES YES! There ARE people who understand, so I don't feel like I'm talking to a brick wall. The hook is what usually MATTERS the MOST. It is the most marketable portion of a song. It can show up on TV ads, it is what most people remember from a... -
Have ANY of you solicited a manager or agent? What are your thoughts? I'm curious.
Skid, I am here trying to give you tips on how to better the demo that's part of your larger press package - and you KNOCK me for it? Seriously man, I can feel the emotion on the other side and your bitterness: - You sound like a frustrated failed artist that justifies his failure by... -
Reverbnations Songvest
Reverbnation is hustling people. That's all it is... so they can create a larger "audience" to sell their advertising to. They're part of the "selling musical hopes and dreams to the musical dreamers" industry. It's pure shit. The real process of getting known or getting palpable success is... -
Gotcha....rappers please don't sing!
1) Same corporate take on music happened in the 60's, what - since it's 50 years ago, it was "better" then? They were ghostwriting bullshit and bubblegum pop back then too. 2) This is a "hating on the industry" thread. I understand. Then I ask if people actively push their shit to... -
Have ANY of you solicited a manager or agent? What are your thoughts? I'm curious.
I. Has it been two months since you sent out the press kits? What were the reactions? (Also, if some dumbass insults you or your music in a response, don't take it personally. Shit like that happens.) I'm curious. II. Did you send a CD with your press kit that was AS IS... meaning... -
Have ANY of you solicited a manager or agent? What are your thoughts? I'm curious.
So, people feel like they haven't even had a chance with the music business - but of the five replies I've received in this post, here's what I surmise: A) Of the five people only TWO have had some form of contact with representation. - Relic says he tried on and off (I'm assuming with... -
Gotcha....rappers please don't sing!
Both clips are AWFUL. I will have to revise my statement. I listened to Heartless in the car and I was trying to see if the voice of the chorus performer is different than Kanye. It DOES sound like it's a voice containing a different timbre. I thought Najeem could sing, saw it on another web... -
Gotcha....rappers please don't sing!
LDB: 1) You are absolutely correct on the fact that Auto-Tune will not correct vocals that are WAY out of pitch (T-Pain can actually hold a note). There will be an obvious offending artifact after ATR applies itself to the wave file, and it won't sound good. There are artifacts on Ye's new... -
Have ANY of you solicited a manager or agent? What are your thoughts? I'm curious.
Here are my questions: 1. I'm curious, have ANY of you guys actively seeked representation by soliciting managers or agents? 2. How does success or failure in getting representation affect you as an artist? Do you just keep grindin' or do you "feel the hit" emotionally? 3. Have... -
50's Project Hit Squad
That's cause it's business. He has a business/hustler's mind. I think you're right - it would be over unless he came out with something equivalent to Get Rich or Die Tryin'. He won't. He's busy making money capitalizing on his fame and connections. I would too if just eight years ago I... -
I need a new name.
Man, if I were you - I wouldn't worry about the name. Worry about the quality of your work. Names rights are bought, sold - you'd be surprised at how many names are rights protected/registered in some form and a record company has to pay money to clear it with the owners (even though you...- God

Selling Beats To Industry Connects
This is not business or legal advice. Hire a lawyer for proper counsel: You're right, you did. I should pay more attention to reading the posts than skimming them at times: Missed the "company" or "business" language. Good advice to anyone seriously getting involved in the industry...- God
