The minute you sign your name, you lose all the rights to your music and you’ll never see a dime.

   GE,

   Good for Dick… he knows exactly what the F he’s talking about. He’s crystal clear.

   You’d think, “hey, he’s been reading Seth Godin.” But no, he just got slammed in the ars enough times…

   You could translate this advice straight across to books… and add, “they’ll want to control the message, soften the edges, change your focus and then leave you to market the product they coerced you to make.”

   Okay, ’nuff of that.

   Big Time Fan for Mr. DD… more so now.

   Shawn

   Gotta love this guy. Every damn word he says is true.

   One low cost way to start is to make your own recordings. Logic Studio and MAC hardware are the ultimate solution for recording. This audio suite gives you the biggest bang for the buck today.

   The best way to learn Logic is through Graham English’s http://www.logicstudiotraining.com

   Logic is easy to use on the surface. But there is so much more that can be gained by taking advantage of the knowledge of someone who has been there.
