title : the impact of new media technologies on music production or for musicians

Hey there,
Here is the situation: My friend's band has put together a demo video of clips of them playing various songs which they did not write but each clip is under 30 seconds. Would rolayties have to be paid to put this video on their website? I'm thinking yes, but am not sure.

Thanks for your input,

I am 15 years old and have been around musica my whole life, from singing in church choir when I was 5 to playing guitar and piano now. I know that I want to make money off of music when I grow up and recording sounds like a great job where you can be around all kinds of music and new bands. The problem is, I have no idea what to do. I don't know any of the equipment.

Okay, this kinda fits in this thread since this site uses acoustic music to "heal" people. (Don't take this as my discounting of music as a healing power - I believe it is, just read the site though and try to keep from peeing yourself with laughter.)

Check out some of the technical details. You'll have a blast.

I'm getting into mastering and wanted some opinions on different AD/DA converters. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I wanted to know which converter fits a certain style of music if any. I know they all have their own characteristics but need some info before I go out and spend $$$. I am doing more dance electronic, hip hop, aggressive music where the client wants it LOUD.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of an online service that offers music parts to be recorded by proffessional musicians and sent back to you via email? I just cant find the right instrumentalists for some of my arrangements. .any idea's?

Im getting into vocal samples in my beats. I wanna kno if anybody knows a plugin or...technique that can get out background mucis and make an acapella. Please help me out.

Hi Everyone, I hope this is not one of these "oh god where do I even start" questions, but I thought I'd ask. It is one of many that I have. but for now the most pressing.

Recently had the privilege of recording on site a string quartet comprised of the primaries from the Midland Symphony plus a few guests...Each of the two pieces lasted 30-35 minutes, with wildy varying movements within the pieces.

Hallo,

next week I will track a string quartet for a pop recording. So far I'm planning to use a Schoeps ORTF System for the overall ensemble sound and some room information as well as close Micing each player individually with a Schoeps cardiotic mic.
Since I'm more used to classical recording techniques I have the following questions:
