    Selling rights to my songs

    And if he secures the copyrights from you, and doesn't use it, then what? You have lost the song forever, and have no right to market it to anyone else. Here's the scoop - copyright = ownership. License = rental. If you sell the copyright, you have sold ALL of your right, title and interest...

    tubes pros and cons?

    At low volumes, in a modest price range, for jamming and practicing, solid state can be a fine choice. Some are pretty decent and you can then crank them if you get a bigger gig that requires more volume. There are some boutique low-watt tube amps out there, but absent a steal on ebay, they're...

    Copyrighting Skits

    Well, I'm not sure what you mean by a "skit" but as soon as you author something, you immediately have the copyright to it. You do get some benefits to obtaining federal registration of that copyright, but I guess the question is, what, exactly, do you plan to do with this 15 second "skit"...

    Kid antrim records

    Positive feedback - that's pretty much the thing. I didn't come across any anectodal evidence that being "featured" actually did anything for anyone other than give them a line for their publicity materials ("featured on Kidd Anthem compilation"). But, I didn't look very hard or very long...

    Kid antrim records

    Run them through google and see what you find. Do your research. Here's what people on another forum had to say: http://www.michigandnb.com/yabbse/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=6281 I agree with most of what is said on that other forum. You're paying them to put your song...

    Song Critique - Rock/Pop

    I won't comment on the mix aspect - others have done so already. But to get to your question as to the song itself, in my own humble opinion, and I'm no expert, I'd say almost there. Coming in at a shade under 5 minutes, it's way too long. My own suggestion if you want to go hit song category...

    Recording Distortion staight from Head

    Line6 amps have pretty good direct out/headphones, as far as that kind of thing goes. In a way, they kinda design for direct outs. They're inexpensive, too.

    WahWah, yes or no?

    How about, "I don't have a strong feeling for or against, but they can be interesting tools now and then in the right context"?
