What labels? I assumed the "here's a hot band on CD" handing to promoter thing stopped a long while ago. Second the vote for using Reaper, which is a bit more complicated to learn but much more robust in functionality. Knowing how to produce your own music, even after getting the million...

Your story checks out. :p

Before the thread spiraled down a rabbit hole, this point was made. I wanted to second this suggestion. Even with room treatments, the vocalist still needs to be fairly close to the mic (the exception is in perfectly treated/high end studio situations where there's no negligible reflections...

I used the link you posted on Papanate's page, and it sounds like original music you likely created. Only previewed a couple songs, since I don't speak the language it precludes me from buying into a full listen. You may want to target audiences that understand what is being sung(?).

For presence on Amazon, Spotify, etc I've been pleased with Catapult. It's most cost effective to release full albums/multiple songs at once. I get a few cents each month, and have confirmed the albums get distributed. Some of the albums I recently pulled had been up for a really long time...

You lost me with the vinyl [I'll "never forget" all its shortcomings or feel nostalgic for it] but great work on bringing back the dead. Older equipment is superior in both right to repair and parts simplicity. They tend to sound just as good as anything made today.

This is the primary factor. Each USB port on a computer is rated based on a specification, but "hubs" that we add split the power from that single computer port across all the connected devices on the hub. POWERED hubs (that have a USB cable to connect to the computer, AND a dedicated power...

Wanted to checkin on my Bandlab install and give them props for a good product. Took me years to commit, but I'm finally fully migrated to Bandlab (have Sonar X2 and X3 installed only for plugin access and opening legacy projects as needed/rarely). I'm only a mouse, so not big enough pride to...

For many years (more than a decade, almost 2) I used Cakewalk, then Cakewalk Sonar until very recently I made the time to get the new (free) Bandlab version of Cakewalk installed, configured, and tested. Seems to work well, done two projects with it now and most of my old (some ancient) plugins...

Another vote for not using direct monitoring, instead use the effected track output as your output/listening source. This will give you realtime control over the reverb effect, dialing it into exactly where you want it while signing live. If you have a boatload of tracks (other...

Solid advice here. The free Bandlab Cakewalk is very good, just limited on plugins included (thankfully I'm able to use everything I've purchased previous plus the items from my paid version of Sonar X3). Took me a while to install and test (like 3 years?) but finally have migrated to using it...

IK Multimedia | AmpliTube MAX I only had the basic Amplitube 4 package and decided to upgrade to the full thing for $150. I've not had any time to play around with it but was certainly aware of what it offers as I would occasionally bump into limitations in pedal, effects, and amp selection.

Although this isn't an exact real-time measurement, Windows does report what the device is estimating its usage to be in device mangler. It's handy in case your computer and/or usb hub has limited power for the ports in use, or you want to verify like I did that the audio interface is on its...

Synchronization rights - Wikipedia I'm interested in making a few songs available but not entirely sure how to go about this. Tunecore and some other companies seem to offer related services for registering, does this in any way make the music available to those looking for it or is this...

Been working on this album off/on in our spare time for almost 3 years. Long time friend and collaborator Scott performed the vocals and wrote all the lyrics, I did everything else. It closely follows Scott's real life engagement and breakup, so it became a living work of art as time...

Specials | Waves Several good plugins for cheap. Of particular note, the PuigChild for $49 (usually $99+ when on sale). There's % off coupons to be found as well. I've had the PuigChild for a while now and it does a fantastic job smoothing out mixes as part of my mastering chain. I've used...

Unless you have a port in the back of your skull.

This is part of a much larger pop-concept album I'm working on with a long time collaborator. I do the music and performance, Scott sings and writes lyrics. Scott still has a few vocal parts he'd like retrack, but I'd say this is close to done. I have a decent handle on the mixing part (this...
