Get Signed!

Getting signed to a record deal is just about every band/musicians ultimate goal, but unfortionatelly, unlike wanting to be a Microsoft engineer you cant just go to college and expect a job when you get out. Sure there are music colleges and plenty of success stories to follow, but for those of you who dont have the time, money, or motivation to attend, I have an easier route. This applys to anyone wanting to get heard.

TAXI: record deals, publishing deal, film TV placement, recording your music, songwriting Is a GREAT place to start, or maybe finish your adventure. They are an A&R service, that for a small one time a year fee will accept ANY material you submit. They have ads running all the time, looking for EVERYTHING from bands to sign, different styles of music for tv and movie placement and just about everything else you might think of. The great thing about this service, they have industry professionals in EVERY area of music. So if you are in a metal band, you dont need to worry about someone who deals with soft rock review your music. The nice thing is, these people have worked in the industry for a long time, and have a background you can trust.

Once submitting music through them, their experts will review your submission and critique it. If they feel its up to par to submit to the actual person looking for the music they will forward it and the music is now in the right hands. If the music isnt up to par, they will actually take the time to tell you exactly what it needs to make it worthy of submission. Dont worry, they accept everything from professional recordings, to not so great home recordings, depending on the ad type. Some ads want professional recorded material for direct placement, others are looking for material to re-record. Check out the site, I hope it helps you on your journey, and if you happen to sign up and get signed or sell some tunes, drop me a line, success stories are always appreciated here. Keep Rockin

Digital VS Analog

Im taking a poll, or asking for personal opinions as your way to help others who come here. Its digital vs analog. Which do you prefer and why? This pertains to recording music, as well as amplifiers.

Some will say there is nothing like the sound of analog and digital reproduction doesnt even come close, just as some say records still sound better than compact disks. Can you tell the difference as far as digital vs analog recording? some can Im sure, who know alittle more than others, and might record music for a living. Others probably cant tell the difference, and what it comes down to is personal preference. As far as Amplifiers go, I would say the difference is much more noticable.

While digital offers much easier methods of copying and pasting for recordings, mixing things up, easy clicks on a computer screen, or having all your guitar effects right in your amplifier, it can have its downfalls as well. I used to use a Line 6 Vetta playing in a band with a guy who used a Mesa Duel Rectifier and believe me, the difference was very noticable. Talk about getting blown away everytime we played. Yet my amp still held its own, and was very convenient, I find it more satisfying playing through a good ol solid state.

Get your opinions out there, and share some knowledge with the rest of the readers, be heard, here at Guitar World of Axeslinger. Keep Rockin
