Just a warning about Discmakers. After 20 minutes at their site, you’ll be filled with excitement about your music career. They are a great company, and one of the greatest tools that indie musicians have to truly compete with the big boys.

I try to write all of my posts in such a way that people of all backgrounds can benefit. Obviously, some posts will be more beneficial than others, but I’m not writing any of my posts with a small target audience. My posts are written for people who want to find their inner artist, and I try to help them to accomplish that.

Thanks for commenting!

Discmakers, eh? I’m gonna be a-Googling that.

Thanks!

I’ve received so many CD-R’s in my days of unsigned artists, and so many of them were unlabeled. At the very least, they could have bought a sharpie, and written their band name on there.

Thanks for the kind words, and yes. I do answer to the title “musician”. Right now, I’m more concerned with producing electronic music, but there’s a lot of room in the world of music to learn!

@ Jannie

My advice is to use CDs as a marketing tool. I think that at this point in the game, people are reluctant to buy physical CDs, and are more likely to download indie music. That’s why I would put a few tunes on a disc that I’d be willing to give away, and write the URL to my website on the disc, so that they could go online and buy some more music! But you’re right. The limited edition approach does work if you develop a fanbase.

I hadn’t heard of Broadjam until I visited your website, so I have no opinion. I have however talked to people who highly recommend Discmakers, who is a partner with Taxi, so that makes Taxi all right in my book.

And I’m not far along enough in my career to have an opinion on ASCAP vs. BMI. It’s lame, I know. But I’m not one for trying to BS my way through a conversation.

I’ve submitted one song to a few Opportunities on Broadjam, that Bones one. Taxi would probably be good too but I cannot afford their upfront joining fee right at the moment.

Do you have any opinions on Taxi and Broadjam?

And ASCAP vs BMI?

Great to read a blog by a fellow music guy!
