    What do you hate & why

    I see that there's not many fans of record labels. IE Major or indie. Care to tell me why? What turns minds to think this way? Popular belief? Did you get fucked over by a record label? Do you not like itunes because they don't want to stock your music? Do you hate Best Buy because you cannot...

    Both are great mic's. The Preamp is made to power the condenser, so it'll have enough power. the AT4040 of course being the condenser, it has more crisp and it's frequency range is wider. The SM7 is also a great mic, I love the mic myself, it has a warmer sound to it with a shorter frequency...

    Home Recording Label, idea

    Because you are on the beginning stages of a company setup, you can expect to find and work out all the kinks. All the comments I think are great for that. In recent years, "Internet Labels" have been popping up all around. These net labels can run just as efficient as their counterparts...

    Theres only 1 difference between Duplication & Replication. Where you can go take it to make money. Duplication is good if your going out and selling your cds at mom and pop stores, at your nearest fleemarket, at your job, etc. Brick & Mortar companies do not take duplicated cds. Only Redbook...

    Why Selling on iTunes SUCKS!

    Mechanical rights are quick because its set currently at 9.1 cents per song or 1.75 cents per minute (Physical). It is different for Ringtones & digital material streaming or not. If you go directly through to the material owner, you can fax him back & forth the mechanical license agreements and...

    Leasing rights question

    Also, when you do contracts, you need to watch your contract language in there. IE You should not use the term "beat" but instead use musical composition. Stuff like Mixtapes, depending on the artists, a lot of people won't be pushing 5000 copies anyways, so therefore you may want to word...

    The Free vs. Paid Continuum

    Actually to say the music industry sales are through the floor would be a lie. The music industry itself as a collective increased revenues 4.7% in the fiscal year of 2009, and profits of that make the industry a 1.1 billion dollar industry on just music sales alone. $650 million of that are...

    Why Selling on iTunes SUCKS!

    A couple of things you may want to make note of The sale of generic MP3 players surpassed the sales of Apple's Ipod. Although Itunes is one of the main programs to use for music purchase - it is made to intergrate with the IPOD Itunes is not a networking website. Therefore will lack fans...

As I recalled, back then, Dragon Street Records was just a starter and was able to "successfully" release records at the time without a major budget. Fast forward to todays time. It is...
