here's what you do This is a bit of a spinof I have on the ideas the others mentioned. This works for more than just coming up with basslines. I created complete remixes and new tracks all together this way. Try cranking up what you have to a point where you can barely hear the thump of the...

Totally recorded and produced at home. The web streams don't really do the CD justice but they give you the general feel. Please review and help us choose 4 songs for our radio promo. http://www.cix7records.com/microphone.html Thank you, mJ

Try lonelyrecords.com www.lonelyrecords.com $560 for 1000 bulk b&w silk-screened CDs (real CDs, not CDR) or $990 for 1000 retail-ready silk-screened CDs with b&w inserts (I think 2-panel), traycards. More for color and more for extra panels. They can work from film or from your files. mJ

Thanks for the reply. I've been legally "Cix7 Records" in my state for a few years now, but this royalty thing threw me a curve. The information you have supplied is very helpful. Thanks again. mJ

First off, I wasn't sure where better to ask this question but here goes... My first compilation CD should be hitting the stores this summer and one all the thousands of dollars (I'm just joking and hoping) start rolling in I need to know if I should deduct any amount of tax from royalties I pay...

You're correct about that. I record in Vegas though, so normalizing is not destructive. I only normalize tracks so that I can set my channel levels without even hearing the mix at first. If I know everything is normalized (not to complete peak) then I know what the mix will basically sound like...

The zip file contains only one .doc file. To anyone who needs, please let me know if you'd rather I email the file to you. moni@cix7records.com mJ

This is something I came up with (actually something that a few people with alot more mixing experience than I cam up with) awhile back. I compiled alot of info that I got from mixing sites online and came up with a basic mix that I think is a good starting point for most of my songs (rap and...

No, I didn't realize that it was not required to have an advisory label, but I still want one. Although it could potentially reduce my sales I still prefer to do it that way as I don't like the idea of a minor having easy access to some of the material I produce. Sounds backwards but, that's the...

Anyone know where I can get a high-resolution image (preferably .bpm) of the the parental advisory label that goes on albums that contain explicit material? I'm designing my own covers and am a bit weary about scanning the image from another CD. Is that my only route or do any of you know of a...

I'm checking out Marc at Precision Mastering as well. I'm sure the rates are high but I like the work so, depending on just how high the rates are I might pay the extra amount. I'm headed for your profile now though. mJ

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check the site now. mJ

I've got that software as well. Anyone care to share their designs with me via email? I'm looking for some ideas. Thank you, mJ moni@cix7records.com

Ah, that's what I'll do then. I may need to adjust to a new setup soon though as I'm doing some instrumentals for two other labels in exchange for some new monitors (which are better than the ones I have now) and a couple of other nice little things. One of these guys went out and bought all of...

Thanks for the reply. You wouldn't have some contact info for me? I'm looking to finish an album this weekend and will need it mastered very soon. mJ moni@cix7records.com
