I've already gone through this. You're right, this is un-charted ground and it won't be cheap for us small guys. The best thing to do is just do the cover, put it on your own website and link people to it. OMD sites won't knowingly place covers on their sites for obvious legal reasons. MP3.com...

This experiment has been in progress for a few weeks now. The test music is currently only available on 2 music sites. MP3.com and Soundclick.com. I will report the progress in my next update to this thread.

Hi TexRoadkill, Obviously I have alot to learn, but the difference in sonic quality is amazing. At less volume levels, the B mix sounds wider, fatter, louder. I'm wondering if my Spirit M12 board is doing somthing weird when alot of sound is going through the board. Because the difference is major.

I still think one of the best things to do is listen to a commercial cd of a similar style of music, sound, and try like hell to make yours sound similar. eq, levels, etc.

Here's some more info, sorry about being vauge.... I run ALL of my sound sources first to my mixer which is a Spirit M12. It has a SMPT out which I run to my main audio/seq computer (via SMPT) which runs Cakewalk ProAudio 9. Up until recently I was pretty much recording just one stereo mix for...

Ok, I've got several instrument sources (samplers, sound modules, etc.) Mix A: Basically a live sound coming from all of my sound souces, routed through my digital mixer to the computer. Mix B: Each track recorded to audio and then mixed accordingly using a virtual mixer. Why does mix B sound...

Hi Texroadkill, Thank you for confirming that. Because just comparing my mix to a commercial cd in a similar genere has improved my mixes dramatically. :)

so, you just pop in a band's cd you want to have a similar sounding mix to, compare meters, eq, and try like hell to duplicate it? Is that it?

Harry Fox FINALLY got a hold of me. There STILL is nothing setup for this yet. (Cover license for downloads.) They said they may have something setup in the near future. So for now, I wouldn't worry about getting sued unless you are making money, selling cd's, licensing out your covers, without...

hmm... I had an email from a post in the newsgroups about this subject, and they said the only thing that will happen if the song becomes popular (without a cover license) is you will get a "cease and desist" order to take the file off of the music website. And I'm probably in no danger of...

"Many of the average Joes the RIAA has sued are not "money makers." What did they gain by suing then? Could you please elaborate? Thanks...

"i forgot. does goodlookin a part of making music vidoes? maybe you submit your pictures first on MTV before submitting your CD." Weird but in r&b, rap, hip hop, it seems looks does not matter, but in the pop world if you have a cute face/fanny and are willing to show some skin "you'll go far...

"Of All the undiscovered musicians in the world, how many percent of them(or us) will be heard on MTV or a local radio staion?" Local radio is easy to get into if you sound decent. Well, IF the station is not a clear water station. MTV is also easy to get your videos played. Well, assuming you...

Larry, your sig link does not work. Would like to check out your cd/music. Thanks...

Thanks for the replies, here's some more for you. :) I don't want to make money with my covers, I just want to use them as a way to visit my site and download my original material as well. I don't want to make any money with the covers, by themselves. I would never include them in a cd or sell...

wow, thanks for the replies. However, based on the tools listed it doesn't sound realistic that they would use everyone on a song would it? How about someone listing the steps one of those mastering houses would take to master a rock tune? I'm sure they follow some sort of the same guideline...

Taken from the digital.htm page on Harry Fox. "Digital licensing is the licensing of copyrighted musical compositions in digital configurations, including but not limited to, full downloads, limited-use downloads, on-demand streaming and CD burning. If you are interested in licensing for the...

Hi Skippy, Perhaps I'm wrong, but that appears to be used for music services to license digitial compositions so they can play them and have them available on their website. Similar to a radio where they have a license and then pay out a royalty. I need information about a cover license in...

Hi, I want to upload my cover song, LEGALLY to a few mp3 sites. Mainly mp3.com and AmpCast.com. It seems I have to purchase a cover license to make this happen. Can anyone please fill me in on the details what this means? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Yah, it would be cool if someone could detail the process of how to make it legal to cover a song and upload it. Thanks...
