If I understand you correctly, your focus is on live shows. I think you're correct. Seems like if you can get the right listeners in an area, then book those cities, you stand a pretty good chance for filling up venues and maybe Merch. Then the streams might follow or at least the paid...

This just happened to me, the song, floundering for the last 8 years, gets this crazy increase. I'm like "I have been found!". Next month an email from Spotify via DistroKid, my song was removed. WTF and like you said. too bad, too sad.

I will make a guess as to why. Because your use-case is pretty rare. 99% (maybe not that high) of people will take their mix from the DAW and output to the master. Most other use cases would require different equipment that is at another level. For just a tad over $500, you are getting a lot of...

Well, somebody has to make it. If you think you have the grind and can fund it, I say go for it. From what I can gather, you might have what it takes, which is a lot of BS. Really, you have to be a used car salesman for the music business. I know first hand. Not too deep into it, but enough to...

Perfection usually gets in the way of improvement. Lock in on a decent interface ($100). most of the named brands will work. A Presonus USB, which is a fine entry level interface will do the trick. Just pick one with a couple of inputs and make sure it has phantom power. You will always be able...

How many crappy recordings have we heard that we constantly listen to because we like the song? Your count my vary. :)

I have to admit, I am a little confused. This is a first class recording at the pro-level. Did you just get a master and remix? Depending on the use, which is important, itf for listening, I think it could use a little boost in the high end for some sparkle. If used for background, the mix would...

Good mix, I think the vocals are now just a tad hot. Little pull back to get it into the pocket. First, part and chorus, the speaking part is at a good level. Very nice . A little short, you could add some interlude, but that is pure opinion!

To further expand on the arrangement, but this comment is production oriented, a low-fi start, like 78 record low-fi on the vocals. That would compliment that distorted organ. IMO, the song never seems to find a groove. I liked the first part, but in my head, I was waiting for it to go to "its"...

Based on your comment, I add PRO-Q, added Spectral Dynamics, got the delay. Bypassed, re-enabled, still delay, cleared the dynamics and noticeable delay was gone (There is some there, I just couldn't tell it). Thanks for the tip.

All parameters in plugins and many outboard gear that has MIDI connections can be automated. I think it would be easier to have multiple EQs on sends, then automate the sends input rather than the EQ. At least that is the way I would do it. Send 1 - start, input full, X time stamp, reduce send...

I will be honest, I like the original mix. Maybe some tweaks, but the raw vibe kind of works.

Not 100% sure of the question, but if I understand correctly, I would do this. Render out the corrected vocal track, then import it back in and cut and paste as required. Or, take the instance of the configured plugin, once configured and copy that plugin to another track. That will keep your...

Analog: I mean, how far do we go back? I think it is something that is here and that Genie isn't going back in. But for me, I will still craft and learn, using technology to improve. To be honest, I really don't want a car that has been hand built. I don't listen to the first vinyl records of...

Well, it sent me to SoundCloud once I removed the spaces, but gave a message it couldn't be found. If you rename it, you have changed the URL. +
