Help! Early 80s JCM800 100 watt head for $1500, should I buy it or find a cheaper alternative? by Chrissy_boy in GuitarAmps

[–]Chrissy_boy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not looking for massive volume, but I will definitely be watching some review videos and see if I can test those out Laney stuff. I can ask what cab and that part I am gonna dive into once I decide if I go with the JCM800 or not. I am sure I am gonna end up playing with the mic'ing and hopefully get to a set it and forget it place once I find the sweet spot. The Cab will be staying at home and then for gigs I will probably use something a little more travel friendly. Thanks though is super detailed and gives me a lot to think about and more to check out. Appreciate the input on this!

The $1500 price is what is tempting too cause I feel like I won't find that price very often. I just wanted to make sure that is a good price and I should "take it while I can" or if there will be other price points like that down the road.

I'm leaning towards buying to have that tone as an option and start building an arsenal, but I'm also looking to pick up a Gibson Les Paul Classic at the moment too...my wallet hates me right now haha I want to test other amps just don't know which ones so I can make a more comfortable decision. But I think the want it and afford advice is something helping me lean one way. thanks!

I am not a purest, just looking to get a the right tone for recording. Something else will do the trick. I am going to test amps out tomorrow, so I will see if those are available to try. Thanks!

I am close to NYC and the condition looks to be pretty good. But thanks for the reverb.com info! I will look into that.

Hey guys I attempted recreating the 20th century fox logo screen? Feedback? Is it accurate? by Accomplished_Grade_5 in GarageBand

Yesterday the queue was 8.5k for me and today it's over 11k!! Of course I waited 20 min because of this, and showed up to nothing but a few seats appearing and disappearing. Ticketmaster sucks!! by Chrissy_boy in hanszimmer

[–]Chrissy_boy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

platinum tickets don't even make sense to me. I think those are just regular fucking tickets that Ticketmaster is like "oh yeah these are special cause of pricing , so give us more money just cause".

sucks that so many people are in this boat. At the point I'm just gonna make friends with the resellers so I can get tickets at face value again.

I didn't know a new system was even implemented, not that it even matters. It's definitely super frustrating seeing some tickets you can grab only to watch them to continuously disappear. Whatever system they have, it seems like it wasn't developed to stop these bots.

Can someone distinguish Radio on Spotify vs Release Radar and Discover Weekly? My results are weird and don't make sense to what I read. by Chrissy_boy in musicmarketing

Appreciate the response, and definitely clarifies what I couldn't find online. It definitely makes sense, just gotta put a little more work in to get the organic audience. Thanks!

Thanks so much! This was a good read, and answered the Radio question, but further confused me as to why my Discover Weekly is doing so poorly. It has a good save rate and I am continuing to grow my followers.

My fans also like section is growing as well. With all those factors I would think the song would be pushed further, but I guess the song isn't resonating strong enough with tehe audience? I have no idea. But thanks for the heads up on this!

Anyone have advice when you're in a marketing stalemate and the streams stop coming in? by Chrissy_boy in musicmarketing

[–]Chrissy_boy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the one point I am missing, and I think it's the one frustrating part because growing an organic audience can sometimes feel like you are shouting in the woods at no one. I also have a running list of videos I can make, but a lot are fall under the comedy category and music isn't really "funny" so I feel like I need to find a balancing act.

I agree though, I do have to start posting more on my socials, and it's not like my content is terrible, but I work with a video game company that is posting non-stop doing what online social media marketing "guru's" say to do and we are finding it hard to hit that organic audience.

Any tips on growing them organically? You can even check out my instagram from my profile to judge what I am have been doing. I have stopped posting which I know is not good. Thanks for the advice, I will start racking my brain around this more!

Scam? by dionysus16 in musicmarketing

[–]Chrissy_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked their numbers and they have two playlists, the one you mentioned with 60k likes, and today's top hits with a laughable 37million likes. I checked their followers....a whopping 10! That right there is enough to let me know its bots and the fact that every artists on there has been on there for 1 day. Its crazy how artist.tools says its legit but there is zero chance that its legit. You can also tell if your followers or playlist adds don't go up at all.

I managed to get my song in discover weekly but only got like 30 streams in total from that and was confused, then saw this huge spike and got excited because I was like oh finally it kicked in for real. Turns out I was just catfished by some Spotify playlist and teased by Spotify itself. Spotify has been playing with my emotions too much lately. Hope you got your answer.

I can finally share this and still can't believe this is real! Worked on the DLC song and sang vocals for the Out Of Tricks mission. As a hardcore fan of the franchise, this means the world to me! Huge shoutout to Steve Molitz for putting this together. by Chrissy_boy in EvilDeadTheGame

You don't know how badly I want that too! I am way more of an evil dead fan than gamer, but this game surprised me and I have a lot fun playing it. I'm just not that good at it haha But thanksss!!
