    How many posts do I have to go?

    Ok, I've been trying to catch up on my post number (which was mysteriously truncated awhile back). I've been trying to make my posts pertinent to existing threads and valuable to the discussions. Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't know how to figure out how many posts I've had in the last six months...

    Indie Labels - what exactly do they do?

    So what are the advantages to being with an indie label as opposed to marketing your music by yourself? And how many indie labels actually have artists on their roster that are making their living at making music? Where do indie labels get most of their sales from? Do they sell mostly from...

    Following the crowd

    Treeline, Weatherbill, and Demensia all recently posted threads asking for critiques of their websites. That seemed like a good idea to me as I am also a newbie with the web site stuff....(I use MS Word). Anyway, any sort of criticism, flattery, or pummelling is welcome...

    Should talent be present at mixdown?

    For our last cd my bandmates and I sat in the control room with the professional engineer for almost the entire mixdown. I guess I was slightly paranoid that if I wasn't there, something might get in that i wouldn't want, or maybe something would be left out that I did want. The engineer was...

    Tucci's back with first post in long, long while

    There are four tunes on the page including a song having to do with cows. I'm interested in feedback on all of them but especially on "Rain"...well because it features me. these were recorded in a fancy studio in a big hurry. What do you think? Would it have been better to take lots more...

    Well we're hitting the road - south; need words of wisdom.

    I am planning to book a mini tour for my band at the beginning of September. The plan is to play our way south to SanFrancisco and back (to Olympia, WA). I'm shooting for about 10 days or less round trip. The thing is, this will be the first time on the road for all of us and my first time...

    You are a Putz and I cannot lie

    So our trombone player wrote this rap...it's hilarious and it is a HUGE crowd pleaser. It is the only rap-song we do. He took the bass lines from a bunch of well-know rap/hip-hop songs (the fresh prince, big butts, slim shady etc.) and made a medley out of them, but all the words are his own...

    I've got a confusing writing-credit issue

    I've got a mucho confusing writing-credit issue Four members of my band contribute to our songs. Some of the songs are written exclusively by one person, some are written in different combinations of two of us, three of us, some by all four - we even have one song on which two ex-members of the...

    Going on tour and breaking even.

    I live in the state of Washington. The other night I saw a three person country-punk band perform in this tiny hole-in-the-wall place. They were fairly tight and they were fun to watch because they were having a good time. After the show I talked to them. They were on the thirteenth day of a...

    Just one more little question about copyrights

    If I register with ASCAP or BMI do I still have to send my songs in for a copyright or...since I have registered the songs with ASCAP or BMI is that proof enough of my ownership should anyone try to steal my songs? I know that by law your work is copyrighted as soon as it is recorded in some...

    Open Mics

    I am not sure what to think about Open Mics at coffehouses and such. Last night I sang four tunes at an open mic in a coffeehouse. It was sort of an impromptu thing - I had to borrow a guitar and ended up breaking two strings while playing (It was old). I thought it would be good practice for...

    why? what is it?

    What is it about some melodies that makes them better than other melodies. Why did the tune "Yesterday" - become the most played song on the radio ever? Why is Beethoven's fifth symphony so memorable? What exactly is it that makes a melody stand out. Is it even definable? Tucci

    My first CD - should I make it a demo/album?

    I am working on a project that I hope to have finished by the end of summer. I plan to have a CD with about 10 to fifteen of my best songs on it. I am pretty sure that when it is done I will have a product that is good - good original music recorded in a very listenable format. I also plan...
