Take your music productions to the next level and make timeless music.
Want to take your music productions to the next level?
If you feel like you're always getting stuck in your music productions, or if you feel like you're not improving, then don’t worry because you're not alone.
According to Digital Music News, just 1.4 percent of producers actually "make it" in producing music...which means almost 99 percent of producers are focusing on the wrong things. In the end, most of them give up producing before they peak.

These inside secrets can be applied to real world scenarios - whether it's in audio production, electronic music production, mixing, editing, mastering, or sound for media. They even work for schools, colleges, and universities.
In this book, you will discover:
Everything you need to know about advanced audio, recording, and music production in 2020 and beyond
How a 19-year-old young producer used “deliberate practice” to create the global smash Old Town Road
Building a professional recording studio (without spending millions)
Optimize your computer for music production (PC and Mac)
Audio recording tips: microphones and placement

And much, much more...

The Dark Side Of Indie Survival by Jason R Martin

Independent artists all over the world are trooping into the entertainment industry to find a spot for themselves. This is because the entertainment industry has proven to be very enterprising and profitable. However, many people give up before achieving anything tangible because they fail to get signed by a big record label. Getting signed by a record label is not a bad idea; however, being an independent artist isn't less profitable. Being by yourself without getting the support that you see others get might be very discouraging. That is how the situation was in the past, before the digitalization of the music industry through technology. In this book, I examined indie music's evolution and the differences between a record label artist and an independent artist.
This book also examines the challenges of an indie artist. The various emotional, professional, and marketing strategies that an artist may face by himself or herself are extensively discussed and analyzed. As an aspiring or trying or independent musician, you would find this valuable book in your struggle to build a name against the odd. The book explains the three categories of challenges and explains the fundamental method s of coping and developing as an indie musician. It teaches indie musicians to learn what it takes and means to do it all themselves.
In recent times, it is obvious that technology has replaced the record labels and their benefits as a bridge between an upcoming artist and success. Beautifully enough, it has made it so easy and simple for artists to now make, promote and sell their music without consulting or contacting anyone. It is now a world truly for independence. At this point in time, many artists are quitting their record labels to face their music themselves or set up their own independent record labels. This book clearly exposes and expresses what it looks like to make it as an indie artist and what it takes.

The Rhythm Rappers Compete At The Musical Rap Competition by Julie Kirchhubel

An upcoming Rap Competition in town sparks interest amongst friends, especially when they learn that there’s going to be a special gathering about it at the park. But what exactly is a Rap anyway? Before they know it, they’ve all signed up to be contestants – they have to compose and perform their own work! Not only are they up for a challenge to create the best words and the best moves, there’s also the issue of how to use rhythm. Because there’s rhythm in words and rhythm in music, and raps use rhythm too. So the race is on to do their best – it’s a team effort, isn’t it? And then of course there’s also practice that needs to happen. After all, the saying is that ‘practice makes perfect’!
The big day has arrived. Raps will be judged on technique, style, creativity, and originality. And what about the actual performance? Well, it has to be confident, well-presented, and (you guessed it) memorised. Luckily, they’ve all prepared steadily for this, and so the audience is treated to an evening of stage delights that includes marching, rocking, reeling, dancing, and more.
Follow this lively band of characters as they troop to the city to discover the world of competition and the thrills of performing – you’ll be surprised at what you learn along the way!

The Beatles in my life by Paul Griggs

In 1957 I discovered a guy called Lonnie Donegan who was having hit after hit singing mainly Blues and folk based songs. He adapted these songs into his own inimitable style called Skiffle. Lonnie was inspirational to me and I persuaded my Father to build me my first guitar. I taught myself to play and formed my own Skiffle group called The Satellites. Around the same time some 200 miles away a certain John Lennon had persuaded his Aunt Mimi to buy him a cheap, Gallotone guitar (guaranteed not to split) and with some mates formed his own Skiffle group called the Quarrymen. The line up changed until it included Paul McCartney who persuaded John to let his friend George Harrison join. A few name and personnel changes later the line up was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and the name of the group was The Beatles.
I don’t remember “Love me do” first time around although it did go to number seventeen in the charts in December 1962. I remember their second release “Please Please Me” which went to number one in February 1963, I thought it was OK but it didn’t knock me out, but their third release “From Me to You” hit the spot and from that moment, I was completely hooked on The Beatles.
I first saw them live at Luton Odeon on 6th September 1963 and managed to catch nine more live shows in the next two and a half years culminating with their last official UK appearance for The New Musical Express Poll Winners concert at Wembley on 1st May 1996.
There was a rumour in the late sixties that Paul was dead and in 1969 I almost bought some truth to the rumour when I nearly ran over Paul and Linda whilst driving near Lords Cricket ground.
I finally met a Beatle in 1987 when a song I had written called “No More. tears” was runner up in Paul McCartney’s “Buddy Holly Song Contest.
Thanks to the influence of The Beatles I have been a professional musician for over fifty years and their catalogue of songs remains the soundtrack to my life.
