Bandcamp is ideal for minimum wage. & you can figure out your marketing & when you get something going that works, you can sell records.

Ok, this is great. Do you talk anywhere about how you structure fees and costs for your record label services? I am definitely thinking of doing this, and I have several artists that I think I can help. But I want to make sure I'm charging them something that's reasonable, but also financially sound for the investment of my time and energy.

Great informative and worthwhile video as someone who is planning on starting his own record company or label (maybe you could differentiate.)

What should an artist do when the producer put another name on your record and not the artist who recorded the song. It happened to me.

Question: You know a lot about the industry. Ad a composer of orchestral and movie soundtrack original material, would you have a preference in distributors, labels? Of course I know you are busy. I just thought it doesn't hurt to ask.

Really well put together video from a noob musician who doesn't even play to anyone except myself. This video seems like it could go places.

1-they give you huge advances until you bring your completed album recorded to them.

2-they promote you and distribute your music world wide.
Another question?

What we call "metadata". They label records... Me personally am asking, "Is a record label something i want to do in addition". We got vinyl presses for the masses now, and other physical is half dead, with digital you need a distributor, is that a record label?

[harryhersey]

NOW A DAYS THEY ARE OFFERING "360 DEALS" I would LOVE for you to be my Manager/Label/ DAD!LOL .. 19:20 Yup giving them some good advice will definitively make the artist remember this? and will not take off at the first sign of $$$ off the chiain! Because "all money not good money" and they will stay....WRITE A SONG ABOUT IT... AND MAKE A HIT!😂

Who has experience working with a Record Label here and would like to join building a startup? Like and reply this comment

What does a record label actually do...? :
Distribution and possibly some promotion
Gives unreasonable, creative process killing deadlines & recording time restrictions
Does it's level best to try and swindle artists out of not only their publishing rights but low balls them on any Royalties the artist may be due as well.
So, in short, do your best to stay independent. But if you do sign a record deal, you get to say that you "made it "
