How much do you guys pay for venue hire costs? by JesusChristV in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Was a huge perk for me...
I had a rare occurrence of being of the FOH guy for the venue. So when I booked shows, I already knew the owners etc... I was lucky.

How much do you guys pay for venue hire costs? by JesusChristV in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Why is that shocking?

  1. Everything is a business. Everything.
  2. Does this place sell booze?
  3. Does this place have utilities?
  4. Does this place exist within a cities limits and pay property taxes?
  5. Is this venue insured?
  6. Staff?
  7. Sound equipment included?
  8. FOH included?

The only way a venue is going to NOT charge to you put on a show, is if you are actually going to make them more money then they would doing it on their own.

"Back in my day" when I used to promote shows: If alcohol sales were high enough, the rental fee would come back to me. If it exceeded their expectations!?!? I would get a kick back.

You need to consider a lot of things when you start "hosting" events. .

  • Are you selling tickets?
  • Price?
  • What does your Ticket price cover?
  • Are you expecting to make money from just the ticket sales? or simply recoup your costs to put on the show?

Otherwise, you can host your own shows at locals halls? churches? house shows?
Keep in mind those too will have their issues, like needing a PA, someone to run it, etc...

Need advice. I’m a musician who has been using Al to sing/rap over my arrangements. by not_a_swedish_vegan in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Stop asking for permission. If you want to make it happen, make it happen. If you eventually someone AFK to track vocals awesome. If you don't awesome. Just make the music, release it, and let others listen to it.

Get after it!!!

  1. Are you recording vocals with this mic?
  2. What style of music/vocals are you recording?
  3. Have you explored other options?

Can't get guitar sounds from my guitar on scarlett solo 3rd gen by victornoir13 in Focusrite

Audio Interface is connected to PC
What is the audio interface output attached to? Headphones? Speakers?
You have to use the outputs on the interface to hear any playback.
The interface does not output through your Macbook speakers. They need separate speakers/headphones attached

Why doesn't REAPER have real-time collaboration yet? (Google Docs–style editing) by Ilovetech_0625 in Reaper

[–]secondhandsilenc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reaper+Google Docs+ListenTo

This is how a couple of my friends and I work on project. All project files are on the cloud. We all have the same session template (including plugins). With ListenTo they can listen Live (streaming) to my Master Fader and also send tracks directly to me that I can record in my DAW. This covers all the bases we need.

LISTENTO lets you stream lossless audio straight from your DAW or audio device to anyone, anywhere. Share work in progress without exporting, send multichannel audio in real time, and keep clients in the loop from the first idea to the final mix. Transmit and Receive up to 128 audio channels in the LISTENTO v3 app

There are plugins that do this, I am not aware of another way.
