Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Composing, recording and producing a CD is a very involved activity. Before jumping in with both feet, there are a number of aspects of the music industry with which you should acquaint yourself. Just as in any business, there are shysters and it would appear that some of the worst shysters and sharks are in the music industry. Be aware and be wary. Never pay someone else to have your music published. Retain your copyrights. Get legal advice from those in the know and from entertainment lawyers should a label approach you with regards to distribution.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I am already learning audio editing. I do not think I would entertain any possibilities of working with the music industry. The meditation market is an interesting market and differes strikingly from other types of musics in that industry as a whole.. Yet my only goal is to see if I can produce something of quality and have it out there. I do not think of the possibilities of making money from it. I also have developed a theoretical copyright distribution technique I think will work well. I shared it with one person but cannot really share it with anyone else until I do it. I do my own editing, can work with outsourcing without overhead expendentures and really there is hardly an investment other then the instruments which are simply for hobbie and health reasons technically. ravenmagic2003 <ravenmagic2003@...> wrote: Composing, recording and producing a CD is a very involved activity.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Keyboards have alot of flute & jungle sounds besides percussion and all the other necessary instruments. There are digital ones that you can hook up to your computer. Young <nathaninfortuna@...> wrote: I play currently a native american golden eagle flute in the key of F.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Electronic artificiality is just poor of quality. I just don’t know what some instruments might be called, I know I will be getting a new pan flute in 4-5 months. Likely a professional one as they sound good. Also I am going to the ocean for sounds and other things as I have pro equipment for recording now. Just I need a laptop and that cost money. a name <drumthis2001@...> wrote: Keyboards have alot of flute & jungle sounds besides percussion and all the other necessary instruments.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 A halfway decent recording in a studio will often cost thousands of dollars for a 10-17 track CD. To make a quality CD you will need to block out background noise. There are different kinds of mics for that and you need to have a god acoustical environment. Hence, a studio.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have a studio consider microhpone. Samson CO1U USB Studio Condenenser and a MobilePRE USB Pream Interface M-Audio I cannot cancel out all background noises but it is not that bad when I record it, just the echo is tiringing and old. > A halfway decent recording in a studio will often cost thousands of dollars for a 10-17 track CD.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 It sounds like you have the stuff. Alot of musicians are digital these days. I'd work at making some of it analog to make the tracks more genuine material. It sounds like you also have the right MIC and wouldn't need anything like a shure SM 57 or 58 since your'e doing how shall I say, meditative music? Anyway, good luck. <nathaninfortuna@...> wrote: I have a studio consider microhpone.Samson CO1U USB Studio Condenenserand a MobilePRE USB Pream Interface M-AudioI cannot cancel out all background noises but it is not that bad whenI record it, just the echo is tiringing and old.> A halfway decent recording in a studio will often cost thousands ofdollars for a 10-17 track CD.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Excellent factual information re: recording requirements and studios, drumthis. Where instruments can be recorded directly to a computer recording program, noise still occurs but is minimized by how few connections there are between the instrument plugged into the computer and the sound's ultimate destination on the hard drive. Where a mic is required, noise is a huge consideration. Additionally, having a high-quality mic that is suited to the instrument will make a difference between a well played track and a well played and well recorded track. For example, an incredible vocal mic is not the mic for capturing the unique qualities of wind instruments. Furthermore, having a professional recording program is not the same as having a qualified sound engineer working with a professional recording program. Even the most qualified, most talented, most self-contained experienced recording artists rely on at least one other set of ears and hands to help them create their projects.
