What's Better....roland Phantom...or Yahamha Motif?
Through the effective utilisation of software controllers over your synth, it is possible to make any of the synthesisers mentioned do your bidding. However, the only question is the base samples that the synth comes with, as well as its functionality regarding your personal preferences. If... -
GOD: Examples of industry Market Research.
Have I popped too many daydream balloons? Have I yet to lay it on even more? I could have posted this link earlier, it's just one of the many that are used to make music industry projections. Anyway, here is a place where people in the business buy data that is received when it is not... -
is there a way to filter drums (specifically snares/rimshots) from a sample?
To answer your question correctly, answer this: 1) You have snares and rimshots that you want to take out of a sample, right? 2) What is the placement of the snare in the spectrum. You said it's mono, if it wasn't, it would be possible to negate the "middle" of the stereo spectrum, where... -

First of all, the link to your page doesn't work the "beats4salemusic" at soundclick. Secondly, if you don't have a cogent plan to approach a rep or a person that could help you out in a professional manner, meaning, having a presentable portfolio of beats, production history, etc., I would...- God

OK, here's a good question that tied in to what Copenhagen asked earlier. mrjermaine asks: Well, this is a good question because you are willing to sacrifice time to pursue your dream while also paying the bills by being somebody in the healthcare industry. That is commendable, and here...- God

Did you know the industry was this shady???
Formant: I never asked that, just how you'd change things... you already did that, by showing your business model in your post. Secondly, you said A&R were old, but then clarified it. That's OK. Yeah, CEO's are older, and the CEO's of the parent companies are also older and... -
Did you know the industry was this shady???
Formant: Just to clarify a couple things: What do you think would be a different way of doing things? Music is a business, and it is for profit, that is how it has been and always will be. This example is just one of the ways that people have thought about getting as many "hits" as... -

Did you know the industry was this shady???
Writing pools are effective ways of lowering exposure for a loss on an investment in the record industry. If I am a record company, I do not want to have all my eggs in one basket, or one artist thinking they can write “hits.” A pool harvests talent and when a member of the pool is not pulling... -

Def Jam In A Jam
It's a good thing that Lyor Cohen sold out with Russell Simmons for $130 million in 1999. Probably the best decision they made. I think that once Def Jam was owned by Universal, Lyor did what he could for personal gain while fulfilling his contractual obligations. After all, who's a top dog... -
What don't you like about major labels today?
I understand doing things for the "love of music," but wouldn't you want to pay the bills doing music yourself? Sincerely, God -
What don't you like about major labels today?
Formant 24: You state you are from The Netherlands. How do you feel the approach is different in Europe. The thing, is, I very well can't see it. Dance music (trance, etc.) is marketed in much the same way to a captive teenage demographic? What do you think? Sincerely, God -
What don't you like about major labels today?
Yeah, but don't you all feel you are kind of an "elite" group of hiphop listeners/producers that have different tastes that the major labels disregard at the time being. Remember, if I was a smart label exec, I would have already bought into some indies, right? So how do you know who's... -
difference btwn ascap/bmi and emi/universal/warner chappell/sony/bmg
the thing is that you can make your own publishing company if you sign with a major, and then you own your publishing, like Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell had his own "Buttnugget Publishing." That may or may not be administered by a publishing company that you previously signed a deal with... -
What don't you like about major labels today?
Here's an interesting twist: do you think that "mainstream" stuff you don't like is what the masses in fact want, since they are buying it? Or do you think that the masses don't have an option, and thus purchase what is in the mass media without looking deeper into media like the internet...
