THE
MUSIK-ZONE
An Introduction
This site is for musicians,
songwriters, independent publishers and their web designers -
and here you will learn the latest technologies and techniques for
creating such things as music videos, how to put them on the
Internet (YouTube, MySpace, etc.), where to publish your songs - and
how to put all this on your own website and save thousands of $$$
doing it!
There are very few sites where
songwriters, performers and publishers can go to find specific ways
to produce better songs, create
better recordings and learn the best techniques to get their music
and songs on the Internet before a greater audience of listeners and
fans, and succeed in the NEW music business.
The NEW music business is far
different from the old approach of trying to get signed to a major
record label, going on the road, and selling physical albums and
CDs. The traditional music business is slowly dying and major
recording stars are leaving the major labels in droves to set up
their own publishing companies, strike better deals with outlets
such as Wal-Mart (The Eagles) and establish a greater presence on
YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and other "social networking
sites."
Even several independent
publishers and record labels have reported that it works
better for them. Surprisingly, by giving away more music, they find
their artists are also selling more music. If a fan downloads a song
or album and likes it, he or she is more likely to shell out money
to buy more of a group's albums.
While this site contains lots of
advice on how to get signed to a major label, it's primary focus is
on how to succeed in the NEW, Internet-based music business.
I'm in the process of listing
several musician-specific sites where you can post your music to
attract more listeners, fans and
buyers. I'm also reviewing these sites after using them myself to
see if they're as good as they claim.
I intend on looking at several
programs I already have for making music and putting it on the web -
same goes for making videos and putting them on the web.
