HAHA some of your comments made me laugh.
Thank you guys so much for the responses, I'm going to take your advice and steer clear of these big vague company profiles.
I suppose the next step is finding someone who has more experience and a roster of clients.
The last CD I self-produced from start to finish...yes, even mastering.
I used iZotope and soon realized I had no idea what I was doing.
I know how I play music, heck I even know how to mix!
But mastering... uh, no.
I don't wanna spend $50 a track. Although, I'm sure some of you would regard...
As a part-time web designer and full-time amateur musician ;)... you have 3 viable choices:
1) The cheap/complex way: if you know your basics in HTML, you can make yourself a decent site. I pay $2.50 a month for my website (25GB of storage). Not too shabby. Although building/updating the site...
Just a quick update guys, I sent my applications out on the eCO last night, thanks so much for all the help, you've made this process less of headache :).
HAHAHA sjjohnston! Thank you for the welcome Chili :).
This is all just great information guys, I really appreciate it.
After endless days of printing, highlighting, and frequently visiting dictionary.com (Pseudonym? Really, we can't say alias anymore?),
I'm finally seeing the light at the...
Thanks for being super informative Chili.
What I'm reading in circular 7d is quite the contrary when it comes to digital works (http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ7d.pdf).
Check out the bottom of page 2. Apparently this was added February 24th 2010, just a year ago!
It looks like they'll...
Thanks for the clarification on that mjbphotos.
As far as this "mandatory deposit" obligation goes, does anyone know anything about that?
What I'm referring to is the follow: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ50.pdf (page 5, bottom right)

Although I use the bare minimum to record, I've been trying different recording methods for years.
In my own opinion: the best way, 1 instrument at a time. I've always done percussion last, melody first, vocals second. I used to record 1 live take (guitar and vox) and then percussion second. I...
This website has helped me out of a lot of jams when it came to recording, now I'm in a jam when it comes to publishing >.<. The roadblocks are never ending!
I've never published my music (for profit). I want to make sure my intellectual property is protected. I've been reading the U.S...
Just another quick question on the topic of latency...
I want to remove my computer tower from the room I'm recording in...
This is requires 3 USB extension cables (mouse, keyboard, interface) and 2 DVI monitor cables (both monitors)..
Does the same still apply? No latency from these cables...
Thank you all for your help!
I'm coming to find out that it might be me creating the latency :(
a BLOW to the ego, but a cheap fix -- learn to play with a metronome, haha.
-I just recently bought a Line 6 UX2 audio interface to hook my condenser mics up to my computer.
-A week later I was given a Korg D8 Digital Recording Studio.
Is the D8 a standalone piece of recording equipment?
I know the Korg D8 is pretty old but it's still a functioning piece of...
I don't know if it's produced by my V-Tech Dynamic mic or if it's the sound coming back through my headphones but I'm dealing with a sliver of latency...
On the guitar-- I'll put a track down, replay it (through my headphones) and do a solo over it. When I replay it's a sliver off. Enough to...
First road block!
Okay so I finally bought my Line 6 UX2, this thing is killer cool.
I went with a cheap $70 MXL 770 to mess around with for right now.
I'm gonna experiment for awhile before getting a better condenser.
I've been using a really cheap uni-directional dynamic mic, it sounds...
I appreciate your words of wisdom 1,000 times over Richie!
"Dynamic or ribbon microphones connected to a phantom-power input are protected from damage, theoretically, since the system results in a net zero DC potential across the coil or ribbon. However, if the dynamic or ribbon microphone is...
