Is there anyone artist that he/she sells his/her music via Beatport, Audiolaunchbox etc?
People, pay for your music or it doesn't worth to make the desicion selling your music digital?
How many downloads have you got weekly?
Have you got any promotion facility from them?
Let's discuss the possitives & negatives here please.

positive side is that you are gonna be making money. But you will have to do lots of promotion then - it's a hard job.

lol
hmmz maybe ppl with an unrealistic self image think thy can make money with amatueristic music..
Unless you've been gaining lots of experience and knowledge in recording/mixing studios for the past few years.
To be honest, if an unsigned artist charges me money to listen to his mp3 I will be offended

Offended? Why? Is signing the only way to get money for one's hard work?
Not that I would buy any of this music...

They could, but not by using respected sites such as beatport. If a song really is crap they wouldn't add it to the site anyway.

I disagree. There is lots of bad music sold in shops, distributed by big labels. These recordings are often overlimited, easilly get overdriven when EQ-ing them on your hi-fi and not neccessarily the music is good anyway. Labels don't give a shit to the listener. They are for the musicians.

That doesn't make too much sense, DDspeed. If labels didn't give a shit about the listeners, how would they make money? Record labels are businesses with the aim of making a profit. They do this by releasing music that people want to listen to and that they will buy. As long as there's a market for band, a label will will release that band's music.
Of course there's loads of crap being released on big labels, but that's a matter of personal taste. Again, SOMEBODY out there likes that crap, and they constitute the market.
That said, if you make music that, as ansii said, people would be willing to pay a couple bucks to listen to, then people will buy it. Of course, marketing and promoting your music is extremely hard, but the Internet is a great means of distributing music, as we all know.
I guess my point is that (many) labels don't give a shit about the artist. They're only concerned with a return on their investment. If they think a band will sell, they'll invest in releasing that band's music. |

You misunderstood me. I said labels don't give a shit to the listeners  .
I mean the labels won't make the music better. What labels do is promotion and distribution and it really serves the artist, not the listeners.
