Is there a difference between Autotune and Melodyne programs?

Thanks very much, Paul. I appreciate your advice.

There are a few publishers who accept submissions by a Soundcloud link on their sites. Do you think those actually get listened to?

I always hated the idea of autotune as being too "surgical" and taking the spontaneity out of a performance. I never, ever used it in home recording. However, when we went into a studio with a proper engineer he used Melodyne on some of my stuff. I was sceptical but to be honest there was...

Excellent, man. I'm looking forward to following that. Great idea to chronicle the journey. Good luck with it all.

As regards the booking agent thing I've found the problem can be they want to know who you are, what your track record is - so it's the same story again; gigs are hard to get without an agent, agent is hard to get without gigs!!!!!!

Thanks. I'll keep on doing it.

How about those Reverbnation "Promote It" campaigns costing around $50? Are they any good?

Thanks everyone.

I'm well aware of what my yt average represents. I wasn't bragging and I'm not trying to imply any merit or success at all. I'm just looking for gigs. Thanks for your comments though.

Thanks. I was able to boost the mp3 using my Audio/Visual editing software - Cyberlink Power Director. Thanks for taking the trouble though. Appreciate your help.

I'll give it a go.

Hi Thanks that's an interesting idea. The thing is that my music is not just folk - I probably should have described it as Acoustic rather than folk. The last two records were recorded with a full band. I need to get some gigs as a solo acoustic artist in order to get into the scene at all here...

I'm finding it impossible to get gigs because nobody knows who I am and I'm finding it impossible to attract management/promotion because I can't get gigs. Any ideas? I've done the folk club thing as floor spots but for a full gig they all say they would need to see "how I handle a crowd" -...

I have this song in both wav and mp3 form on my PC. It was mastered at too low a volume. Is there any way of increasing the volume in my PC? It's playing in the background on my site here. MICK O'REGAN - Home I'd appreciate any help.

This one was recorded at home with the TASCAM DP-02. TRUE VALENTINES - Mick O'Regan - YouTube

The problem is getting management. It can be a bit of a Catch 22 situation. Management want to know who you are before they'll listen to you. Yet, it's difficult to get noticed beyond a certain point without management. It can be frustrating.

Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted here as I've been pretty busy with various things both musical and non. Last week I released my new single CALVARY STREET. I hope some of you will take a look and a listen. I'm fairly happy with it. It's already sold some on iTunes, Amazon, etc...

I can't find the appropriate place to post this so.... www.mickoregan.com Thanks folks. :)

It's also important to remember that it's possible to make a way better than average living from music without becoming a household name.
