Idea Pool : Promo and Publicity
LMAO @ having domestic violence victims. (Note for sarcasm) On a more serious note. Local news is slow during the weekend. Though ratings aren't as high - they are always looking to fill time with a "feel-good" story. And I'm not talking about a camera busting into an Asian-massage... -
Polow Da Don using stock GarageBand loops?
I read the initial post - watched the video - and wanted to write something. Then I read LDB's post. LDB is 1,000,000,000,000% on-point. No questions. -

Classic - for real. Check this out, this is right up your alley: http://www.automatedtrader.net. Big money in it - BIG money. Algorithmic trading - maybe you can learn how to make analytical models or something and work at some fancy Swiss bank. Again, to get on topic - 2good - no...- God

I had to post this.
Well then -- this only solidifies the fact that I often repeat to myself when I meet a 20-something investment banker at a party - who then leaves the party with his attractive wife in a Bentley Arnage. I should have been an investment banker. I should have been an investment banker...- God

MySpace has new music service.
MySpace, Purevolume, Soundclick and their precursor MP3.com all used the same strategy. A musician has a dream. Create a site that peddles to that dream. Create a large user base of hopeful dreamers (in MySpace's case, there are millions.) The more dreamers you have, the more you can charge for... -
Effects (robot, other) on Vocal tracks
You have the Vocoder effect. You also have the Enigma engine in Waves (Diamond bundle). There's a couple other pitch alteration/timbre alteration plugins in the same Diamond bundle. I forgot the exact signal chain, but with a little experimentation you can get it right. Also, you can try a... -

EQ Automation: do a lot of you cats do it?
The maxim applies to instruments too. My example of the snare w/guitar is evidence of this. But your qualifier of "diff't care" might ring true - if people don't automate EQ on vocals, what are the odds they automate the EQ on instruments? Slim. -

EQ Automation: do a lot of you cats do it?
There's a difference between a bad note - meaning one that is sung and is off-pitch. Melodyne or Autotune can fix that. What I'm talking about is a good note - one sung in pitch - but has a harsh frequency footprint on it. For example, if you had a singer sing "Beeeee." What if the "eee's"... -

EQ Automation: do a lot of you cats do it?
When I used to work solely on tracks rather than biz side shit - I was indoctrinated by an AE that worked with me to view EQ as a literal artform. He was a British cat, and said that Americans have a different way of trying to correct mixes - whereas he used to sit down and try to fix mix... -
The official "Getting Hated On" thread. Your stories of getting hated on.
The old adage: "try to be a wolf in sheep's clothing." Or "act dumber than your mark." It gives you a lot of room to maneuver w/o worrying about people working against you behind your back. ---- Here's an extra story - I used to work for an exec as an jr. rep/assistant. In the corporate...- God

Rebranding an artist to make $$$- real life example of artists signed to Interscope.
Afriquedeluxe on Ash's comments: These are two very important pieces of advice. This can definitely be furthered into a discussion of group psychology/mass marketing/ad techniques used in influencing popular music. But Ash and Afrique dropped two very important pieces of knowledge. -
Saul Williams' album: Failure of online music sales or bad marketing?
Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Naills released an album called "Ghosts." He made a couple million bucks on strictly digital sales, but his protege, Saul Williams- had an online album release that was a failure. Didn't cut the costs. How much does a brand name matter in selling an album online... -
Rebranding an artist to make $$$- real life example of artists signed to Interscope.
Yeah, it is Illmuzik. So, let me ask -- you DON'T want me to post stuff that may help people in this forum? I post stuff that I believe would help people look at the major label side of things -- and then Illmuzik fam can be educated about how industry cats look at a situation. This is a... -
Rebranding an artist to make $$$- real life example of artists signed to Interscope.
I remember a friend asking me what I thought about Chantelle Paige two years ago. Let's just say the dude was involved in her camp (no names). I told him that she had the “right look”, but the songs sucked. Her vocals weren't spectacular. So, in the way that Christina Aguilera or a girl with... -
Rebranding an artist to make $$$- real life example of artists signed to Interscope.
I posted this somewhere else, but realized I didn't label this properly for Industry Talk... Cherry Tree/Interscope signed a girl "Chantelle Paige" to their roster. They had a "has-been" band that was probably going to get dropped from the roster known as "Flipsyde" laying around. So what...
