It took me a second to realize who this guy REALLY  was...  I had a hard time figuring what he was doing (and at times still do)... but from what I hear from him I love.  I can't wait for this dude's album to drop.  Why it's taking sooooo long is beyond me but as far as bars go, he's right up there at the top for what I'm hearing coming out.  Learn more about Jay Electronica (here)....  and click here to visit his homepage for more news. Enjoy the video! Jay Electronica - Exhibit C (prod. by Just Blaze)

Here's another great post from www.therecordingrevolution.com Should You Mix With A Limiter?   I seem to get this question a lot, "Should I us e a limiter in my mixes?". Usually what people are asking is whether or not to mix with a limiter on their master fader (mix bus). Some of the confusion may even come from people like myself who tell you to use a limiter for reference mixes . But that is very different than mixing through a limiter or limiting your mixes before mastering. Let's …

www.musicthinktank.com Part of being a DIY artist is marketing yourself like an entrepreneur or small business owner: You’re presenting the brand of “You, Inc.,” comprised of all the unique things about your music and you as an artist. And while putting some tracks up on social media platforms like Facebook and Myspace or on your own website is an important part of your larger portfolio of marketing tactics, you can’t just leave it at that and hope that someone will eventually …

www.musicthinktank.com   I am a songwriter. I typically work from home using a small studio set up and have been fortunate enough to have written, co-written or produced many songs that have been commercially released. I am also the founder of Audio Rokit, which is a song submission platform helping bands and artists get their music heard by top industry professionals. http://www.audiorokit.co.uk   I thought I could share some of my own personal song writing tips. Although they are very …

www.musicthinktank.com   I’m filling in on bass for a band that’s gearing up to release their new CD. When filling in for a band, I try to take a back seat on the band’s business. However, I sometimes just cannot keep my big mouth shut. In this case, the guys were discussing details of their upcoming CD release, and I had to chime in. Here’s a rant based on both my experience with my former band and quite a few drunken conversations with various bands over the years.  …

Hey guys, I was surfing around the net earlier looking for information about Creative Commons , Fair Use and Copyright Law so that I can hopefully protect myself from any type of lawsuit or litigation due to sampling without permission in the future and I stumbled on this FASCINATING lecture given by Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky about the philosophy of his book entitled Sound Unbound .  I just purchased the book based on what I saw in this video.  Spooky is an intellectual, an artist, a DJ, a …

www.musicthinktank.com   We like to think of the web as one big, endless, interconnected net of relationship fibers where a tug on a single fiber causes random ripples and pulls all across the entire net; that somehow a path will emerge, narrow as it may be, where a ripple can travel from one corner of the net to the other; and that if you - the music marketer - could only simultaneously pull enough social strings, your message would be riding on a magic carpet instead of a thread. However If the …

Hey guys, Haven't had a chance to watch this yet but it sounded really cool... Here's the description "Documentary following a generation of post-punk musicians who took the synthesiser from the experimental fringes to the centre of the pop stage."

www.musicthinktank.com     I thought this was a great article to share....  The first bit is a little obvious in logic but I urge you to read on as the last few paragraphs really sum up a mentality that us up-and-comers really should adopt.  ~ Sylence   Written by Minh ( www.reachminh.com ) courtesy of www.musicthinktank.com  "Recently, ASCAP’s Daily Brief included an article by David F. Carr entitled,  “How Warner Music Turns Social Media Fans Into …

www.musicthinktank.com It’s true that industry professionals and artist mind sets could not be farther apart. They are on two totally different sides of the game, yet working together as a team. All industry people probably receive anywhere from 15 to 200 emails or calls a week from indie artists wanting to work with them or get their advice. This is not an exaggeration. Most of these calls/emails are unfortunately misguided and are not going to get the artist anywhere just based on their …
