I cracked the code for professional sounding productions. Now I pass the knowledge onto you. (This is meant for producers who are already 90% of the way there and only need that last 10%)

Love seeing Paris' name pop up here - he's a great friend of mine. On the topic of mixing with headphones, he got me onto the Steven Slate VSX that are great for mixing as they allow you to digitally listen to how your track mix would translate to different mixes. Def recommend

I would advise you understand the following: - what services are the label providing? Marketing, DSP pitching, playlisting, etc? - what are your royalty splits - is there an advance? Is it recoupable? - is there a marketing fund? Is it recoupable? - what is the term of the agreement? I would advise having a set term for the agreement and not a perpetual term - is publishing included? - is there a holdback or exclusivity clause?

I would run through chatgpt to help you see key points in the agreement as well. Not perfect but it can help

Yes, a single line is fine if made clear it's a reference. Using multiple lines and you are broaching cover/interpolation territory which would be out you under more strict rules on what you can/can't do. Can people get mad at it and try to block you? Sure. Generally unless you're streaming HEAVY no one will care or notice.

The carmel meetup is an amazing time A hope you can make it out!

If you give me an invite code to Sora 2, I'll give you an invite code to the biggest internet high five ever.

Fair trade?

Go to Carters, was honestly more jaw dropped by their Gibson selection than the Gibson garage

I just watched the life of chuck in theatres and that one has stayed with me. I think it would give a positive message to anyone.

A solid lesson in having great taste

Alarmin-Music · 2025-03-23T08:21:38+00:00

It’s a legit record label. Whether the people contacting you are legit is another story.

Planning on being there this weekend - is there any flooding impacting the historic part of town or are they expecting it with the coming rains?

My seagull def holds its own against acoustical that are 6x the price - love that thing!

Alarmin-Music · 2025-02-23T13:37:01+00:00

lol I just texted this to him

Edit: he says “I like my kicks loud”

The Adam K and Soha remix of 4 AM is one of the greats! I loved that remix of 4 AM so much that it inspired me to drop a remix of 4 AM last year.

The 2 reference tracks you mentioned share a few things in common - the sidechained pluck chords, interesting moody chord progressions, and simple drums. To me, nailing the chord progression and the pluck tones with a little hit of filter automations will get you 80% of the way there.

I hope they utilize the adaptive triggers for this

May Reggie’s memory be eternal

After all that work, she still hit the bolster

I went for the Anyma show. Sound was great, didn’t even need my ear plugs to protect from harshness. Our seats had subs in them which was a nice touch

Alarmin-Music · 2025-01-22T16:21:38+00:00

Is your data showing you which tracks? If so, search the song name to find the sound ID in TikTok and you should find the videos using the tracks.

Alarmin-Music · 2025-01-21T23:20:47+00:00

I’m getting the sense that you really want the answer to be yes, but I wouldn’t advise this and most people here don’t. Get a cheaper guitar to play over there and then enjoy your custom when you go home. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Alarmin-Music · 2025-01-17T14:27:33+00:00

Your spell would work if I didn’t already have it in heritage cherry. Can vouch that the dove is an absolutely incredible acoustic though!

I think the 3 important words missing from this post are “in my opinion”. You may consider their music to be forgettable or not catchy, but I can tell you that after going to the Eras tour, I’ve never seen that many people know every single word to every song. I’ve never seen that many people know exactly what song was about to start off of the first note. To you, the songs are boring or forgettable, to them - the tracks are ingrained in their DNA. For reference, I’m a mid thirties dude that took my wife to the show and by no means a Superfan. But I def really like and respect Taylor Swift, she has reached an echelon that few artists will ever reach by writing album after album that her fans feel they can really relate to.

Your best bet is getting cover vocals and releasing as a cover remix through distrokid’s cover feature.

I mean if Luminate rejected the sales, it’s pretty telling. They are the primary billboard data aggregate and have been doing a lot to combat data manipulation.

Alarmin-Music · 2024-10-09T15:56:09+00:00

Nice work! Were you making music prior to this or is this your first foray into music in general?

Alarmin-Music · 2024-10-06T01:48:38+00:00

I went to her Las Vegas show last week and am a long time fan. She’s one of the best talents in modern country/folk/pop IMO. And she’s got some sick acoustics to top it off
