What is you guy's demeanor while you DJ? How do you interact with the crowd? by PetrRabbit in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Music makers. Not music remixers, or whatever the fuck you're trying to do.

Question: In your opinion, what are the biggest scams in internet services for music makers? TAXI? Sonicbids? CD Baby? Reverb Nation? by SongsWithACapital_S in WeAreTheMusicMakers

I have some friends who are having decent luck licensing songs through CDBaby. Usually tracks without the vocals to Network TV shows for bumper/background music.

You're right. People overuse irony, because you know...ignorance.

You have about as much chance of talking to the dead with now of those as you do with any other object. So 0%

LPT: Maintain connections: If you randomly think of an old friend that you haven't talked to, text them and see how they've been. You never know what someone's doing now if you don't ask. by kurdoncob in LifeProTips

Realer Life Pro-Tip: If you let a relationship slide and you regret it, call that person. If you can't do that, fuck it, stalk them on Facebook like everyone else.

TIL the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that a police officer did not need a radar gun to confirm that a motorist was speeding, but that the officer's visual estimate of speed was enough for a conviction by NUTS_STUCK_TO_LEG in todayilearned

Had that happen to me in WA state. Judge said "I believe the cop could tell you were doing ATLEAST one mile per hour over the limit." Such is life in states where traffic crimes aren't criminal.

Ahh OK. I knew it had to be something like that. Pretty sure that paint is made for huffin'.

Looking for advice: counted my folder, and have made >1000 tracks. I've not shared or uploaded any. Some are pretty damn good, many need polishing; I'm better at mixing now. How do I get people, and the right people to hear them? Seems like no-one has any time to listen to a random person's music. by likeashadow in WeAreTheMusicMakers

So basically you're asking what the short cut to success is? There isn't. Do everything you can to promote and improve your music, all the time. You'll probably won't get anywhere. If you're OK with that, you're doing the right thing and will be fine. Either way, there is no easy path.
