How to Setup a Publishing Company (By Digga)
MadScientist: To be fair, and I can post our entire PM communication to elaborate, if you desire. That was not ALL you were asking. The situation you described was one where there was radio play already, meaning that the product (music) was already distributed over airwaves, and from what... -
Industry Industry Advice
Actually, regarding the above post, I am sending an in-depth article to Fade regarding the set-up of an independent label, as much as I don't necessarily think it's a good idea for many to do. But if you're going to do it, you might as well do it right. Stay tuned. Sincerely, God- God

How Do I Use My Triton???
You want to start assigning envelopes to the FX routes, as well as distorting the base "sample" sounds from the ROM through envelope/filter manipulation. The Triton is very good at having assignables assigned to other assignables, like FX, and you can make bizarre sounds by, as I said... -
This is one messed up situation. Stella wants her groove back.
So if he's illegal, he wants to be legal. I find that situation odd, though. Because if they are married, he will want to get a green card, and will not want to risk his marriage and divorce her for immigration status reasons. He wants to be a citizen by marrying her. 1. Remember, she is...- God

Real vs. Fake Rappers in the Industry
The image of a real rapper is a very marketable image that has no equal. A rapper that has been shot 9 times, or 20 times and survived, has a talking and marketing point that appeals to kids that were formerly looking to angst ridden, drug using, excess-living, rock stars of yesteryear...- God

Trying to get my production started up
Get a good sequencer like Cubase SX for XP, or SONAR 3.0. You'll be happy you got them, they are superb sequencers. Sincerely, God -
Need help trying to get started
I think your biggest mistake would be using the M-Box. All lower-end ProTools offer the same things like a good sequencer, like Logic, Cubase, or Sonar have. These are the "cores" of what your computer editing should use... they offer complete MIDI and extensive audio functionality (in their... -
Great Monitors...
I don't recommend low-end monitors that then need a separate subwoofer for adequate bass-signal referernce, Duecemade... I think that a good pair of, you guessed it, amped speakers, like Infinity, JBL offer a great reference signal for a much lower price than the lower-end monitors a lot of... -
Industry Tricks: Volume 1
The concept is primitive? Primitive as in completely vulgar, or lacking sophistication? I think it is both. Could you be more specific? Formant... Sincerely, God -
Who do you feel is on top of the game right now?
Dear All: With the prevalence of several Roc-A-Fella acts on the list, I think the man of the hour is Damon Dash. He's shown remarkable prudence in diversifying the roster of his company, with the inclusion of non-hip-hop acts. Should he work on his R&B acts more heavily in an attempt for...- God

Industry Tricks: Volume 1
Who's really hurt, though, is the artist. Since the artist is signed, the artist thinks that they generally are as good as gold (if they haven't been in the scene for a while.) A lot of people don't realise the 'war' necessary to get a product out there with the right push behind it. A lot of... -
Web Site To see How Many Albums Were Sold!
Other than sites that you have to pay for which give you up to date sales data: I would say to check http://www.riaa.com and search their "Gold and Platinum" database. These are non-exact figures. It will simply say "Gold," "Platinum," "Multi" if the artist went multiplatinum followed by... -
Industry Tricks: Volume 1
Industry Tricks. Could this be a true story? I love the site, Fade is great. Here's a little story. Tell me if you think this is wrong or right. I think I will start an "Industry Tricks" thread. There are so many little tricks like these. Mr. Newbie needs to watch out when stepping in... -

My Problem with Wendy Day and the likes of her.
Fade: Sorry about it. I'll stop. Perhaps, if you wish, you may delete my posts referring to her. I'm ok with that. It's your site, and I understand your concern. Formant: Japan has a whole structure of middlemen that mark up the price of a CD. From the initial purchaser that acts as... -
My Problem with Wendy Day and the likes of her.
Look the scam is that you actually think she's legitimate in her effort. She won't tell you that the odds of success are so minute that you have a better shot winning a lottery of some form. I will, and consistently tell people to assess the costs and benefits, especially when trying to start... -
My Problem with Wendy Day and the likes of her.
Dear All: As you know, Wendy Day is a powerful person that appeals to the masses with her independent approach to the market and the "willingness" to help an individual rapper or producer to get their art/music off the ground. I have no problem with that. In fact, that's what I am here to... -
Bookin Agents??
You would negotiate for the price of your show. If you have proof that you are a draw, you will have to prove to the manager of the venue your value and whether you are worth the risk. Perhaps the manager of the venue will bundle your act with many others to lower his risk of loss exposure... -
Nuendo Is Better Than Protools
Oh no, not this argument again. For a reference to a previous argument along the same lines, go here https://www.illmuzik.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2575&page=5 It's something like a six-page thread that is all argument between ProTools and various other DAWs. Sincerely, God
