Live is the Most $$$$$$ As a band we have made most our money performing live. You have to put on a good show. You have to be original. I've seen some horrible bands. I've seen audiences just stand there and stare after a band finishes a song. So, with that said, you must realize nothing...

Right next to the train tracks Yep that's the place. That place pulls a good crowd on it's own. It's right next to the U of A, where you get a lot of college kids. We recorded one of our shows there and I'm mixing it down right now. Thanks man Dantell

Bang Your Head........Mental Health will drive....... I finally got it. I see the whole shebang. I figured out how these bastards are using the internet and gaining all these hits on their site. I went searching to see what kind of angle "Bitch Mitch" is using and I stumbled upon it. Wow...

Anything would help. Also, any suggestions on promotion and getting people to your site. www.balloonhed.com

Reply to da Man Yes my 8.95 a month goes to hosting our website. Just because I have a website doesn't promise that anyone will find it unless you direct them into your site. You can meta-tag the hell out of your site and it might bring in a few visitors a day. You can go and load up on a...

I have to address this one. I'm talking about getting something for your money........NIMROD....iF I join mp3.com's Premium Artist's Services just so they can possibly pay me one red fuckin cent because 450 people downloaded a song from our song list. Whopdie fuckin' do. Let's see...

Have them done professionally Most of the duplicating and replicating houses will print you a good glass master, sometimes free. Usually only if you order enough cd's from them to pick up the cost. A true CD doesn't leave a burn mark and is in 24 bit 96 k. That is what you use to send off...

cassette to cd ratio It all depends. When we've played in a big city, like Dallas, we sell almost 10 to 1 more cds than we do cassettes. When we play in Bumfuk, Fort Smith, Arkansas, it seems to be equal. When we've played Fayetteville, AR (college town), we'll move about 80% cds to...

Thanks, Cross I've noticed that when I normalize, then EQ, but only pull the "too loud" frequencies down and not add to them, it does help the problem, but it doesn't necessarily fix it. But since my last post I experimented by replaying the bassline one octave lower and as clean as...

I Quit Screw the music business. If this moron can obtain 640000 hits on his site and I'm at a mere 10,000 and my band has talent. That's it, I'm eating a bullet. Stick a fork in me, I'm done

It Depends If you know how to master sound to a cd and you have the ability to package your product professionally, they will easily bring 10 bucks. If you gig, don't forget cassettes. Yes, you will still sell cassettes. A gig is still the best place to sell your music. 2nd is in a music...

Amen I said can I get an Amen?

If it cost money upfront it's a scam. If somebody really believes in your music they will promote you for no money up front, but expect a percentage off the top when you do make some cash. That is the music biz..............period. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING that promises to fullfill...

oops, I forgot headphones Always record with headphones on and in the most quiet environment. No other noise. Monitor speakers off. Just the sound you're recording. I forgot to mention this on the other post. I record one instrument at a time, behind a looped drumbeat. Build you an...

I don't understand.................I use Sonar. After I normalize my stereo track mix, equalize down any overbearing sounds, normalize again, then I run it through a Hard limiter to max the levels out. The song doesn't redline at all, but I get this droning bass sound out of some stereos...

I have noticed that after you record and you cut the song where noise is, it will make a crack or popping sound. To solve this I always only cut a track where there is virtually no noise and that eliminates unwanted noise. Also don't ever let your tower lay on carpet in the winter. Also turn...
