Thank you. Yeah. All these places are rip offs. I think with a million views you get $1200 from youtube. Which isn't bad. It's just not great. I made a movie years ago when streaming was in it's infancy. It was up on amazon (way before Prime) and was #1 for a day and in the top ten for over a...

It was called CD Now. Been out of business for years. CD Baby, CD Now, both start with CD. My mind works slow. I think it's one of the reasons I didn't sign up with CD Baby immediately. I have a question about CD Baby and DistroKid. CD Baby I pay $100 flat fee and my album is in...

Thanks everyone. I HATE marketing. I like the artistic side (whether I'm good or not), and nothing else. I'm sure it's not the same place. But, back in the late 90s - early 00s, we'd drive from NJ to Karen's mom's in PA via the turnpike. On the way we'd pass CD Baby. But, that's when it was an...

All these place basically lie to get your money. I wanted to ask some questions from CD Baby before I paid, and they couldn't be bothered to answer. So, I never bothered to put up Pretty Old Bones. Even though they don't bother to respond. I've read they're the cheapest place, because it's a one...

A friend sent a drum track that sounds like a kit. Kick/Snare/Hats I put it in Melodyne and exported a Midi file. I put that file in Pro Tools and for some strange reason it made the track one note. So, if normally a Kick is G, Snare is A and Hats are B. They're all a C. I've never had that...

I've had an MC-303 for years. I enjoy it. I thought I've sent out midi signals to record in Pro Tools or to my synth. But, it doesn't seem to be working. I can sync it up to be a slave or master, and that's perfect. I turn Sys 2 to ON and it still doesn't send out the midi notes to be...

Vinyl is making a huge comeback. Why? I'm not really sure. But, music recorded analog does sound richer/fuller and purer on vinyl than they do on CD. But, CDs are portable and MP3s have music coming out of something that doesn't have a speaker. How does cell phone music work? As I was told...

I KNOW NOTHING about electronics old or new. But, I do know from watching a youtube video, an old radio can be turned into an MP3 player. Watching the video I'm positive it's too advanced for me to do. But, I do have some questions that perhaps someone might know the answer to. Here's photos...

I'm semi comfortable with midi in and out/channels. I'm not a total moron. But, I've never really used it much. Here's what I want to do. I have a Roland TD-5 kit and I want to create a separate midi track for each piece (kick - Snare - Hats - Toms). I could just play (i'm so awful timing...

I don't know if this will help. In all my years of recording I've gone direct. I have a Tube MP Studio 3, you'll notice it has a bass setting. I didn't always have one. But, it does punch up the sound a bit. It's $100. But, I know I didn't pay that much (I'm cheap) I think I bought it off...

I watch TV with my guitar and just play. Eventually I'll come up with something and work it into a song. My latest has a capo on the 5th fret and kind of seems like it's based in a strange F chord. My fingers are constantly moving, so I had no idea. I did a search and came up with this site...

I'm not the best with tempo. I tap my fingers, come close. But, it usually takes me about 15 minutes before I hit the exact tempo. Then I lay down the click track. I wrote a new song, and want to record it before I forget it. It's not normal chords or strumming. For me it's a little more...

Back in the early 80s, my girlfriend bought me a Fender Precision. I think it's a 77 or 78. It was used, and $200. When we moved to Jersey in 1999 I brought it to a "professional" to have it set up. The person came highly recommended. When I went to pick it up he tells me "I snapped the neck. I...

This will probably only last a little while on youtube before they remove it for being obscene and pornographic. It's ART. No one under 18 can watch. It's not for prudes or sensitive people. I am going to do another copy with lyrics. But, the art is so stunning (and disturbing) that I chose...

I'm always curious about why people do things. The obvious reason is money. On the net that's everything. On soundcloud people "like" a song they haven't even listened to, and send messages "Great song, I can get you 100,000 listens visit my site. I never do. I'm guessing they'll charge you...

I've been a music fanatic since I was a child. A great song is great regardless of how loud you're listening to it. Of course Zeppelin and Sabbath sound better cranked till your ears bleed. But, if you play it at a normal or even low level, the music doesn't lose its drive or thrill. That's...

I AM an idiot, and I wrote a thread that folks were nice enough to comment on. I tried and failed miserably. Then I got an idea and it WORKED. I downloaded a free DAW AUDACITY for my windows 7 computer. I then downloaded for free LOUDMAX. This is not the greatest video. But, he does explain...

Chris was my bass player for years, and more important a friend. But, that doesn't mean I would help him hawk his CD. However, this is a CD if I heard and didn't know who it was, I'd still buy it. It's that good. If you like Elvis Costello, The Replacements and that style, you'll really...

40 minutes of unique, original music. THANKS to anyone who gave me advice. I hope it sounds like I accomplished it. If you like it, let me know. If you don't... well, you can't please everyone. But, one or two would be nice. SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds A more readable PDF is also...
