I really dislike MySpace. I use Firefox to browse the web and have installed several extensions to disable all of the extra crap that people put on their MySpace pages so that it loads quickly. Unfortunately some venues book through MySpace and the kids are still into it and that's where the...

Do a Google search for CD Replication and Duplication... I'm not sure about the UK, but usually the top few results are decent businesses to work with. It can range anywhere from a little over $500 to $1000 depending on what you want to do.

If you sign up with CD Baby, not only is your music being distributed through mainstream digital channels, but it becomes available for major retailers to pick it up to distribute it... then you just have to promote the hell out of it, tour tour tour, and contact them directly to promote it...

Try double tracking the vocals in the verses... is there a chorus in this song? You need a hook.

Thank you all for the comments and critiques. I'm surprised that everyone dug it as much as they did, but then again aren't we all our own worst critic's? What I think you're all saying is I should extend the solo, perhaps with a crescendo, building up to a climax before it goes back to the...

I need some feedback and criticism. The song is called Die in your arms: http://michaelchagnon.com/music/Michael%20Chagnon%20-%20Die%20In%20Your%20Arms%20(Demo).mp3

yeah they are the size of a business card - I just used a basic program to design them (GIMP http://www.gimp.org/) and then just used a word processor to lay them out and print them... very low tech. the high tech part was programming my site for them.

I'm currently testing another method in my area - I have a show coming up. I put out free download cards around town - about 100 of them. People pick up a card, plug in the code on my website and they can download the album for free. The code works five times so they can pass it on to a friend...

in the midst of booking a tour, florida is DONE, but I do need help - I'm looking for gigs in GA June 7th-9th, SC June 10th-13th, and NC June 14th-17th... this is for an acoustic duo... I'd love to play with some HRBBS members... I can return the favor in Virginia... PM me

get a Studio Projects B1 and an SM 57 or 58 - both are about $100. with these two microphones it is *possible* to record a complete album that sounds professional if you are a good performer, know about mic placement, and know how to use EQ, compression, and reverb properly, but sparingly.

The only constructive criticism I can offer (and this may just be a personal preference) is to lower the drums in the mix - the drums are the only thing that sound "generic" to me. Great singing and cool guitar arrangements.

I've been a member on these boards for awhile. I essentially learned the craft of recording from this message board and Tape Op Magazine. I've come a long way from when I started around 2005. Anyhow, a friend (and film student) agreed to help me make a music video, so check it out and let me...

I want to record a singer and acoustic guitar at the same time using a large diaphragm cardioid microphone. I'd love some suggestions on placement of the microphone. I've had it above the left, but about a foot with the mic pointing downwards towards the singers chest. I'd love to know some pro...

I actually think the singer fits this version quite well, although I think I would have added background vocal harmonies (think "ooohs" and "ahhhs" and "lalalas" rather than harmonizing with the main melody). This version entertains more than the original, but a good song is a good song no...

Thanks so much! You've got good ears - I recorded it in a small, bare room. I think I may have added a hint of reverb and compression. I may do this one proper in my vocal booth.

would love comments on my singing. http://www.michaelchagnon.com/music/Michael%20Chagnon%20-%20La%20Complainte%20de%20la%20Butte%20Demo.mp3

Robert, your music definitely doesn't suck, but Sonic Bids seems completely unnecessary as you can still get most of the gigs they offer without using their services. If I was you, I would just sign up for the mailing list to check out the offers, then get in through outside means.

anyone in these states that can help me out with venue info or might let us open for you? my music has been on mtv, abc, cbs, I've toured the east coast before and released two albums. I work for clear channel radio and media general.

the venue sucks, don't play there if they can't generate any foot traffic

I don't play drums, but I mix from a drummer's perspective. no reason - I've just always done it that way - it's easier to mix the entire song that way for me, knowing the snare is on the left so there is room on the right for something else, like an electric guitar, then vocals and bass in the...
