Don’t Worry. This Didn’t Stop Us!


Well, the owner of KBJ Records was out promoting the business when he was met with a racial slur from an occupant inside of a local club on Beale Street in Memphis TN. When the owner of KBJ confronted the occupant about the racial slur she cried wolf and security pushed the owner onto the pavement fracturing his thumb.  
But don’t worry.  He will continue to get the word out about this great company.  He is committed to uplifting the indie musician and it will take a lot more than a fractured thumb to stop him from  changing the future of the music industry.

How to Mic A Drum Set

Image
There are many ways to mic a drum set.  In this short article we will focus on how to get the most optimal sound out of a drum set with an 8 mic set-up.  To get the best sound out of your drum set, you will need at least 8 mics depending on the size of your drum set.  Two of those mics will be condenser mics while the rest can be dynamic mics.  The mic set up for a drum set is as follows: 1 Mic for your kick drum 2 Mics for hi and low toms (1 for each tom) 1 Mic for your floor tom 2 Mics for your snare (one for the top of snare) (one for the bottom of snare) 2 Mics for Overheads & Cymbals (these will go on the left and right side of set and will hover above the entire set.

Image is CD Duplication

When it comes to CD duplication, image is everything. I am not saying that your CD has to look like Universal Records distributed it, but there should be some level of professionalism used when designing the graphics. Most artists plan to duplicate their demos and give them away to the public free of charge. Artists that give free Cd's away experience a loss of income in exchange for advertising their music, and therefore will try to spend as little as possible when manufacturing the discs. When you are giving away music for free it would be wise to find a cheap audio cd duplication service when manufacturing the discs, but one must not compromise the quality of the appearance of the disc in the process.

I understand that the most important factor to consider is the way your music sou

3 Simple Mixing Tips to prepare your Mixes for Audio Mastering

Image
1.      Your song’s overall volume level should reach no higher than -3db.   This is because the mastering engineer will have to enhance the dynamics of your song.   This will most likely make it louder.   If your song is already too loud, the mastering engineer will not have enough headroom to enhance without bumping into distortion. ·       This can be done by simply lowering the master track volume until it consistently shows a -3db or below reading. 2.      You should not add any compression to the master track during mixing.   If you plan to get your music mastered, do not try to add compression to the master track to obtain loudness.   Doing that can greatly hinder the engineer’s ability to master your track correctly. ·       It is the mastering engineer’s job to get your song to its loudest level.   If you add compression and the engineer adds compression on top of yours, your song can be a disaster. 3.      Check every track in your mix to s
