Voice Effects
You can use a vocoder. You can use Antares AutoTune. You can use any of the AutoTune ripoffs that do the same thing as AutoTune. If you want a real robotic voice, search the net for speech simulators. Those are programs that make your computer speak for you. Then you can manipulate... -

A word of advice. (Inspired from Cold Truth's post.)
I read Cold Truth's post https://www.illmuzik.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=4836&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 He made me think of some kind of advice that, if you are willing, you might consider. For example, especially for beginners, if you are not doing this already, try to directly copy... -

Afriquedeluxe: Can you identify specifically, rather than just saying "the whole thing," what you want to know more about in shopping tracks. You can't just send a track to a major and expect a good probability that you will be picked up. Shotgunning tracks does not generally work. You...- God

If there was a definitive way, everybody would be doing it. People "get through the door" through contacts, friends, managers, chance occurrences, working and manipulating a specific group of people to your advantage, etc. There is no "real" way. Tracks, for an unknown, are not shopped...- God

J-Malice asked: Santana's manager probably won't have time to deal with that, unless you know him personally somehow. Look at it from his perspective. He doesn't know you, he has a busy schedule, and since time is money, spending a half an hour, or even 15 minutes with you, plus a drive to...- God

afriquedeluxe asked another really good question: 1. Make beats without rapping on it. If your demo is good, somebody will rip your CD and then loop it, or rearrange it. They will then make a demo song out of your beat. The rapper will have a chance to rap over it and hear what a rough...- God

?: If a big artist was dating your daughter, what would you do if...
My colleagues and I were talking about this: You are working on a record. The artist you are working with is big, and the album will go either platinum or multiplatinum. You will make a ton of money off of it, with points, and single royalties, side deals, etc. Your daughter took a...- God

shopping tracks without gettin bit
Holmzini: 1. If you shop a track, you always risk the possibility of being plaigiarised. That is because you as a person with, I assume, an inconsequential legal expenditure can not fight against a larger entity that has more financial leverage than you. These people, producers or labels... -

GOD: Examples of industry Market Research.
The practicality, as I have seen from several people on this site (because you did use the term of "use to us") is that they want (not all) to be picked up in some form by a major. This is through a conduit or directly. A major utilises consumption statistics in order to assess budget... -

GOD: Examples of industry Market Research.
Formant, you state that you are interested in being "big in Japan" in some previous posts. There is a large interpretation of statistics from the Japanese markets as well as the evolving Chinese markets. Perhaps you should put in another query. There are no 2004 statistics because the year... -
