    Rebranding an artist to make $$$- real life example of artists signed to Interscope.

    great point.. its just basic sales.... the more people u contact, the better sales u have.. thats why lcd music will always be made. we, as educated consumers and deep listeners, we are in the minority... most people dont listen to the music the same way that we do. People love hype .. they like...

    Saul Williams' album: Failure of online music sales or bad marketing?

    i dunno .... 25,000 at 5 a pop for a relatively unknown artist isnt necessarily a FAILURE ... maybe compared to trent or radiohead but those are huge acts that have been around for over a decade. there mistake was more in marketing than the online thing. The other thing they have to take into...

    great insight !... i knew there was something funny about the chantelle chick .. she just not that good to be attracting all that attention on her own .. i figured she had deep promo pockets.

    The official "Getting Hated On" thread. Your stories of getting hated on.

    one of the rappers i used to make beats for hated on me. I never liked working with dude from jump. He wasnt a very good emcee imo. and he was way too old to actually do anything with his career anyways. He was the type to call me up and talk my ear off about how he was gonna take over the game...

    Also, thinking of starting an llc. Im pretty convinced that this way to go. If im gonna do it may as well do it right. What are everyones thoughts on releasing material through your company rather than just releasing it under your name. Are there any differences, pros or cons to doing it either...

    The steps to copyright and own your song.....

    ascap is the money/royalties .. they cut checks ..... a copyright wont cut u a check ... but a copyright proves that u are the legal owner of a body of work. U cant collect royalties on something that u dont own .. so copyright is eesential. register your work. the shit is easy as hell ...

    The steps to copyright and own your song.....

    naw ascap had nothing to do with legal backup .. copywright and ascap/bmi are two totally diffrent things. Although one could argue that registering a song in ascap is a form of protection as well. but nothing beats the official copyright for protection.

    Changing Volume On Just The Selected Part of The Track???

    or can change the "view" of the track from waveform to volume and just draw your volume curves.. somtimes i find drawing in the automation easier and more precise than recording it. but to each his own.
