DEMO/MUSIC CD ROM

Does anyone out there know of any DEMO (only or mostly) CD? I am very
|
||
|
|
interested in getting such an item. If there is none then maybe one
|
||
|
|
can be done. The cost for a MASTER CD is around $1500 and to press
|
||
|
|
300 CD's cost $1.79 for each CD. It works out to be quite cheap and
|
||
|
|
effective if you can sell what you make. Permission from any and all
|
||
|
|
demo groups is something "I" can guarantee with a $10 US (or less) price.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another idea is to release a music/data CD. I have never heard of such
|
||
|
|
a product but it has most likely already been accomplished. Snowman and
|
||
|
|
I have thrown around the idea to produce a CD with 10-20 digital songs
|
||
|
|
in AUDIO CD format and have about 40-50 megs of MODS/misc with the space
|
||
|
|
left over. Does anybody know if this can be done? Would anybody be
|
||
|
|
about to STUDIO MASTER the 10-20 SONGS we would need for the CD? Finally,
|
||
|
|
does anybody know of companies that can MASTER the AUDIO/DATA CD for us?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See SNOWMANS article for more info regarding the music/data CD.

Hello,
|
||
|
|
This is Snowman, and I am a baaaaaaaaaad man. :) Recently, I
|
||
|
|
deleted the /LEINAD directory because I thought that our space
|
||
|
|
restrictions were greater than they (given all the ANSI packs uploaded
|
||
|
|
lately :) and I removed a directory which apparently people have since
|
||
|
|
been asking about.
|
||
|
|
Now, I DO have my own personal storehouse of songs/programs, but
|
||
|
|
I fear they are grouped by file format, and not by author. During the
|
||
|
|
next month or so, I will ask you all to upload any songs you have by
|
||
|
|
C.C.Catch, Skaven, Purple Motion, Zodiak, and of course LEINAD.
|
||
|
|
With your help, we can make this the bestest demo site in the
|
||
|
|
whoooooole world.
|
||
|
|
BTW: I just downloaded 2 new Purple Motion songs last night from
|
||
|
|
Music Connection, so look for them soon.

MAKE or BREAK? #1 by Snowman (r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu)
|
||

|
-----------------
|

|

|
|
|

|
|
Starting this month, there will be a regular column in this little
|
||
|
|
newsletter called "MAKE or BREAK?" which will put new music programs
|
||
|
|
in the spotlight. Due to space restrictions, I have to be very
|
||
|
|
selective in what I keep on this FTP. Consequently, the fate of new
|
||
|
|
music programs will be decided by YOU. In this article, I will give
|
||
|
|
you a list of new programs to be challenged. Download them, kick
|
||
|
|
'em around a bit, and write me back if you like them or not (include
|
||
|
|
comments about the file if you want to - they might be posted here in
|
||
|
|
this newsletter).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For those of you who are uploading new programs to this site, don't
|
||
|
|
get upset. Look at it this way, you will now probably get a lot more
|
||
|
|
downloads than you normally would.

MUSIC CONTEST ][ UPDATE
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An international music competition is due to be announced on
|
||
|
|
May 1st of this year. Until then, I will keep the details as secret
|
||
|
|
as I can. However, there is one aspect of the contest that I can not
|
||
|
|
do in private...
|
||
|
|
A while back, I had the idea to make cassette tapes with Music
|
||
|
|
Contest ][ winning songs available. This idea was expanded greatly
|
||
|
|
when a friend of mine suggested that we put them on CD. Unfortunat-
|
||
|
|
ely, he only has access to a WORM drive (writeable CD-ROM drive, not
|
||
|
|
audio CD drive). This same friend is willing to put up a little bit
|
||
|
|
of $$ provided we can find someone who has the ability to produce
|
||
|
|
audio CDs. THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.
|
||
|
|
I had thought it would be a really great idea to put BOTH
|
||
|
|
audio and file data on the CD. I don't know if this is possible or
|
||
|
|
feasible though...
|
||
|
|
If you know anyone who has a studio, or even just a standard
|
||
|
|
1/8th inch audio feed to a direct audio CD write, I would be very
|
||
|
|
happy to know about it. Production should be fairly small (100-200
|
||
|
|
prints, depending on how good a response I get). I figure that even
|
||
|
|
if not many people buy them, I can sell at least 25 or so to friends
|
||
|
|
and family as a novelty item. :)
|
||
|
|
It is preferable that the studio be within a few states drive
|
||
|
|
from Ohio. This is where I am, and I most certainly would like to be
|
||
|
|
present at the recording to make sure everything sounds correct, etc.

I would like to see more demos that stray from the mainstream "do what is
|
||
|
|
in" (aka copy the best group) attitude. Yea, something more BUTTMANish.
|
||
|
|
Any thoughts?
