Time to close Richard’s old topic as he never drops by any longer and start a new topic on the same subject?
I can do that, but this topic is a pretty cool one. I was hoping others would join in sharing what music they listen to, not to close the topic.

if one were to listen to the current 340 Reply recommendations,
Just was having a bit of fun. Never even considered someone going back and listening to all the songs, but listening to some for sure ..
I was actually thinking that others could join in and post up what they are listening to.

Hi TDM,
Welcome to Songstuff! Nice to meet you. We have a Collaborations board that you might be interested in. Lots of lyric writers on the boards, too.
If you have any questions just ask. See you around the boards!

I tried a CD release back in....I think it was 2004. 2 people bought it.
Just pulling this out
One of the things working for us with the physical CD moving was at specific events it was given to those attending .. it was a good arrangement and recurring.
When CD's were really popular it was cool to hear multiple vehicles playing our song leaving the parking. Haha..
Being with Cdbaby it is also available everywhere and sales trickle in.

With school over, career starting and all the things of new home life, I had become more of a music lover instead of actively being involved or working on my own music. Then, one day a lyric popped out that I knew had to be set to music and produced. But how?? We had moved and lived in a different state from most of our buds that played music.
So.. we setup a home studio using ProTools. Wow, we were ready. Doug (who sings and plays guitar and bass) and I went to work. It took us awhile to learn the basics and finish a recording. Now we needed a professional review and mix. The first studio we went to, Doug had helped build. We got immediate response and a very valued set of critique and opinions. But we needed more work. So that's what we did. Next mix was so much better. We went to another studio, no connections there. Walked in and handed off a CD. With some effort, we convinced the owner of the studio to listen to it. He took it to his office and in a few came back and told us he had given it to the engineer. He had assumed it was a mp3 file and instead it was a large wav file that he couldn't load up. The Engineer called him and said song was worth a listen. So we thanked him and he set a time for us to come back and talk.
Long story shortened up, owner had recently converted his studio to include ProTools and he liked us. He gave us tons of time. We recorded the vocal tracks there, and worked to final mix. He set us up with a guy that had a mastering studio and he too, really went out of his way to help us.
We did all the song's legals, art etc. for CD packaging, ordered posters and started contacting specific people/venues that we thought would be interested in the song. Tons of foot work etc. but song was established. It still has it's time ..for the venue type ... and has definitely been the most successful song I've written.

People. We couldn't have done it without all the help from those that took interest.
Motivation. Could have given up at any point along the way but we just kept pushing.
Passion. I wanted this song to be heard.
Guts. Stepping out so far you wonder if it's too far.

Probably.
Promotion and Marketing. Our online presence and marketing were pretty much nonexistent and an afterthought. "Just put it out there, people will find it and love it". That was a huge mistake!

It was 20 years ago, I was so new to home music production I didn't know what vsti ....
What a fun start!

I was all ready. Studio clean, ordered delicious take out, nice cocktails, had my song ready for us to work on.
A few times tickling out the melody on the keyboards and singing.. ok Let's Do It!!
Instead, Doug worked on his song for 3 hrs. It was loads of fun.
BUT...
Next time is going to be all for my song! 😎

Hey thanks for checking out "No Title 07062019".
What a title.. oh my! I have lyrics that go with the song but I haven't gotten the vocal track(s) added. Your mentioning it adds alittle pressure.. haha..(the good kind) to getting it finished.

Good deal thinking forward. That could be important for queing up your older catalog to get listeners interested and ready for your new EP.

Cool. Have you checked out the Somgs/Lyric Critique boards? What are you targeting as a release date?

Hi Reggie FE,
Welcome to Songstuff! It's really good to see that you have all your Streaming and Social accounts up and running. What are you doing to promote your music on the different platforms? How are you reaching your fans and potential fans? Do you have an email collection campaign for communicating with your fans, notifying them of new releases and other fun and cool things going on with your music?
Questions questions..
Nice to have you join the community.

Richard did start a good topic. I don't think we need magic elixir and fairy dust, just musicians and artists, that want to be part of a fun and supportive community... whatever stage of their musical journey.
