speculative figures range from 20-40K sales per #1 track. beatport usually takes at least 30% (Depending on label and agreement of course, in most cases %50) distributor takes remainder then this trickles down to label and then to artist. so yeah a $200 might be a low ball estimate but reflects industry well. Again some (few bigger ones) labels deal with beatport directly thus shaving distro fees.

But that doesn't include the other streams of revenue: compilations, TV licensing, radio royalties and performance fees. This will actually make you waaay more money that single or album sales.
Moby's Porcelain for instance, secured $18 million in international tv commercial fees before the album was even released.

"You have the track and then the vocals and you have to separate them, you know, not on the same output."
Oh! Thank you for sharing these closely guarded secrets with us.

Fuck me. The quotes are just pure comedy. I can't believe they actually said those things. It's like spinal tap for DJ's.

Absolute genius. And as pointed out there's not fucking guitar in the track anyway!
I love this bullshit. I've worked with the guys at metropolis (who are serious pros) and here in LA I've done a few sessions at the studio with some heavyweight/famous EDM producers and not one of them could properly use the desk in front of them. You can see by the way people act whether they're comfortable with the equipment and these guys are squirming, hard.
They loooooove having their photos or video taken in front of SLL's or Euphonix desks but when you ask them to use it they suddenly get all shy
I mean look at that video - three guys in front of a what looks to be at least a 196 channel mixing desk and they're all huddled around a single macbook. Add the obligatory, "push a button pose" (and the button he's pushing there is just the monitor select switch as told to him by the house engineer) and viola, instant studio cred. The more I watch it the more I can see how nervous they are of being in a studio.
I think anyone that has ever spent time in a pro studio environment can spot them faking it - I mean, at least get some automation going and pretend to fiddle with the eq.
what a bunch of cocks.

the amount of arrogance these 3 have is just appalling
'we run shit'
my ass.
get over yourself.
you guys should see the steve angello fm video from a few years back, it takes him 10 minutes or so to quantize a simple whole note string section, it's pretty pathetic, amazed he made it so far by being such a tool and a moron. proves how important it is to create a brand for yourself to make it or break it in the music world.

I was going to point that same thing out when I 1st saw they vid. They are in a huge studio yet they are huddled around a mac on logic. It doesnt look good. As steve says they are only there for the compressor lol.
That said I dont hate these guys, but can understand how people can.

(puts on Tool - Lateralus album to calm down).

I think it's not a secret that you don't need to be a musical genius in todays EDM scene to become famous.
Its all about the right timing, the right connections and some good marketing.
I am a little bit surprised about some comments though.
I'm subscribed to FM and watched the interview on the DVD this morning, as stated they are only in the studio for the compressor on the desk and to add the vocal to the track, 196 channels on the desk and they're using 6 of them FFS.
Posted by Zak McKracken on Jul-13-2010 16:28:
did they fly over to London, rented a bigass studio to use a compressor on a track which is already compressed to death just to add some vocals to it? rofl. i am amazed. they cant be right in their head.

Pretty sick track. The intro is killer. There is a lot of hate and jealousy in this thread.

Did it make you pop your collar
And yes, they rented a big studio so they could look like they don't just sit there in front of a mac book and tell their engineer "that guitar needs to sound more purple". Don't forget folks "that why they run this shit"
I swear to god it exactly reminds me of a session I did with XXXXXXXXX where he literally rented to the studio (with the 246 channel desk and several protools rigs) so we could record one, 1 minute, instrument part and then spent the rest of the 5 hour session doing obligatory "down the faders" shots and various other poses to include on their website to make them look like a real producer.

a guy calls up complaining about corporate america and goes "I'LL TELL YA WHERE THESE CORPORATIONS WENT WRONG THEY SPEND ALL THIS ADVERTISING MONEY TRYING TO SELL THEIR STUFF. COME ON 5 MILLION FOR A SUPER BOWL AD THAT'S A JOKE!"

Point taken. The fact remains that a magazine marketing itself as an industry technical periodical is sticking its name on something more fit for a fan magazine. Yeah - they're trying to sell magazines but a little editorial integrity might be called for. I haven't read FM in a while but when I did read it, the articles seemed to have a little more depth and a little less fluff. That video was scripted cross-promotional ad copy marketed as a peek at purportedly legitimate journalism - a feature article of the magazine. The video's content, however, was an effective demonstration of how little substance one could count on.
So, taking your assertion at face value - that they're trying to sell magazines - they certainly are. The target market must be self-deluded, feeble-minded morons who would like to make music but will only ever manage to mangle a monophonic version of "three-blind-mice".

Yea i remember, some beef with Haak right? "run along little child, i run major business"
I think he murdered Haak though...i wonder: what do Swedish mobsters do with the body after they clip someone? Pages (3): «1 [2] 3»
