Hey all,

I'm going to be recording a small gospel CD soon. It will be for our Church and various congregations - there will be around 500 copies made.

The projects length will be about 40 - 45 minutes (Not sure since we are still in the planning process).

Hi everyone,

So I've been around this forum looking for ideas on recording my bands ep and then getting it heard. So naturally, Itunes came to mind. But in combing the internet for ways to allow people to digitally download our music, I came across this company called tunecore.

Ok, what exactly is a club or venue licensable by ASCAP? I written songs. If I performed those songs in the Sports Bar at Arco Arena in Sacramento, would I qualify for a membership to ASCAP as a writer?

I am an independent musician who has a very small home studio and produces/distributes his music totally via the Internet. Most of my material is “cover” material. I use the Harry Fox Agency totally because they seem to be one of the few Administrators who actually have a reasonably straight forward procedure for Internet distribution for individuals such as myself.

I have heard a lot about BMI and ASCAP, and that I need to sign up with them, but could somebody give me the exact definition of what these companies do? Why do I need to sign up with them? Is it easy? Is it free? Also which one is best? :D :D :D

Sweet site here!

How does one get their music on the mp3 site? I looked for a place on the site but couldn't find it.

Does it cost money?

After 18 years of playing music (12 of which I've been engineering) I'm finally getting around to registering with ascap.

Anyone ever encountered problems during the registration process? I want to avoid any unforeseen obstacles.

Thanks,
