Crystal.

It's also true that successful artists usually get a lot more money and recognition from live performances. And with the popularity of Ableton Live these days, if your productions are particularly good, you *will* get asked at some point if you do live PAs, so that's a good skill to start learning if you have the time.

And yeah, live acts aren't for everyone, I know - but if you're not out there doing shows or working on your act, then you've got that much more time to come up with new releases, right?

Can I ask why you made such a big point about trying to get hold of DJs/labels in Cali when you're based in Armenia? Kinda... other side of the world!

To be honest, I wouldn't sign you either. The sounds are just too software-sounding, lacking bass and the melody and arrangement are nothing to write home about.

I'm not trying to put you down, but just saying there's room for improvement. The more experience you have with producing, doesn't show you just how good you are, but just how much better you could be and how much more you could improve.

I had the exact same mindset when I was 16 and started producing... I kept trying to tell my friends I am going to be signed by a label soon... I thought my tracks would be club hits... Wouldn't be cool if you were in high school and you could tell your friends "I'm a signed artist"?? I sure thought so... I am 19 now, and with the extra experience, i just realize how much more my level of producing could improve than when I was 16.

Don't push to get signed so soon. I don't want to be harsh, but chances are you'll probably be disapointed or get signed by one of those "labels" that will just sign everyone who asks them and likely get screwed over by them.

Also, chances are P2P will only make your music more popular and increase your chances of being signed. But on the other hand, people won't share your music b/c 1) No one knows about this artist and 2) I just didn't find anything amazing about your tracks.

Finally, networking is key if you want to get your music out there. Start by getting to know some local DJ's and producers, and get their honest feedback and when your music is actually good enough to be played out, then try to get their support and sooner or later, labels will easily pick you up just like that.

same here. i sent a song made compeletly with midi to virgin records (major label) when i was 16.

listened to some of ur tracks on ur website....i agree, the sounds are to softwarish and cheezy. If you call this ( a couple of ur tracks) hardstyle then i make jazz lol. Its more like cheezy euro dance, nothing wrong with that but ur sounds arent profi enough yet, room to improve there, the ability is there i think.

Exactly. Do as what you are doing now - share some tracks with the forum and let people help you get better. I have posted tracks here for about 4 years now and I can still see people can give me helpful advice. It's never too late to learn and definately feasable to keep learning, either from yourself or others.

I wouldn't really expect too much if you send your first productions to record companies, especially when you compare the sound and mixing quality where you are now with established artists and so on. I personally wouldn't take too much that is released today as a good example though... Though there are enough examples
