Hi! Learning all kinds of great stuff here from so many experienced musicians/engineers/producers/etc.
I have 20 years experience (1,500 nights) of performing: singer/songwriter/musician. I even worked with London Records years ago as a songwriter (I had 4 songs published).
After all these years,. I never really got into the behind scenes of music: making demos, recording, editing, mixing, mastering, etc. I am learning a lot these past 6 months and hope to get into these areas via home recording down the road.
My question is this: Is there a demand nowadays for those who offer demo services to others (via own's own website, posts on forums, chatrooms, and so on). Or have I missed the boat? Is the competition so great now because so many people are doing it that you can't get a lot of business in this area? Maybe if one got into it 10-15 years ago, it might have been different.
I'm looking for a part-time job in these area (or full-time) if the demand is there. What do you think?
Are there ANY music careers in demand using the Internet, working at home, with one's own website that might generate a lot of demand? Would love to do something as a sell-owned business this way. What about work via the Internet in association with others in some specialized field? How about CD duplication/reproduction with labeling, covers, ackets, etc.? Again, too much competition?
What about offering guitar lessons through DVDs, tape cassettes, or even cam-to-cam private lessons? Is that an area in demand?
