7 Effective Strategies To Get Your Music Noticed. In some music business schools, they still give students assignments that go like this: “Assume that you have one million dollars.
Make up a marketing plan on how to promote a band.” Here’s a realistic assignment: “Go to MySpace. Pick a band. You have zero dollars. Now go promote them.” Although most bands would like to have the kind of budget to promote their latest album on TV, radio, and billboards, they are more likely to have just enough to print up posters for the next gig. Here are seven effective strategies to get you and your music noticed. You have one thing to do before you get started, though. Once you know your audience, dig in. SEVEN EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES 1. 1. Don’t start there. The competition for attention in music publications and sites is overwhelming. Instead of focusing on music publications and media, think in terms of audiences.
This is what we call the standing-out strategy, and the great thing about it is, there is room for everyone. 2. 3. 4. Upward Compression Using Multiband Dynamics. Upward compression is another one of those techniques that most producers don’t know about or think about, but can be really effective in certain circumstances.
This Ableton Live tutorial shows how to use Multiband Dynamics to bring up the low volume parts in a bus with multiple sounds, instead of cutting down the peaks. If there’s a quiet sound in a track or bus that you want to bring up and bring forward, upward compression can be a more effective way of helping it pop out versus bringing down the peaks with traditional compression. If you don’t know yet what upward compression is, see this tutorial to find out how it can help you out in your mixes. Like normal compression, it’s important not to overdo upward compression. Be especially careful when using upward compression combined with normal compression. Tags: compression, multiband dynamics. SOUNDIRON.

You probably want to download one of the all in one pack. It contains all the single cycle wave forms. The wave format work with many samplers and synths and there are some packages containing samples formatted for ones that need a different format. I choose to sample thes waveforms at D2+2 which equals 600 samples. The biggest reason for that was because I was using Fibonacci sequences to build sounds.
