What would you do...

...if a label required that the size of a track not exceed 10 Mbs, while my track weighs somewhat 15 mbs. What are the mesures? Send a cut demo version? Re-record in a radio version? Render in 96kbs?

lol what the hell, im trying to figure out in my head which label would do this and WHY. just give it to them in 96kbps like you said or whatever... actually, shit man either way this is not acceptable. whichever way you do it, if they're really interested in it, im sure they'll ask for either a higher quality track or a longer clip.

what size does it come out at in 192kbs?? could also try a VBR aswell to take abit off

it basically means either of these two:
1. label dont want you
2. you dont want the label

not a single track on my HD is less than 10mb. most of my own productions are either around 20mb(320kbps) or 100mb(wav). nothing less is acceptable.

a label i submitted a track to wanted it under 5mb, no more than 3min! crazyness but whatever. just cut the audio, you don't need long intros or outros, show them the goods but know that a label like this is after a hit, like a HIT. if you don't think it's a hit then probably not even worth the effort.

wierd, i know some labels stress to make sure to send finished full tracks to make sure its all there and isnt just a decent short clip.(potentially unfinished) then again, why would you be sending it if it wasnt finished so i see that point, but there a lot of people out there so yea.

its a shit label for sure.

this is the label i was refering to: http://www.starlightmusic.it/demo/

they only put out hits and i knew that going into it but 5mb & 3min wasn't easy!

did you get it signed bro? looks like some commercial success here.

Speed it up to 430 BPM using Audacity. Then send instructions to the label that, in order to hear the track properly, they'll have to slow it down to whatever the original BPM is.












I've sent TONS of songs to labels, this way.

omg eddie, do you know of a time-stretch algorithm that would do that precisely, that would be awesome.

some of it is really cheesey no question, some i like i've never claimed to be the lord of the underground

I was referring to Hooj label, it's famous for signing Greece 2000 and Cafe Del Mar.

Are you sure they didn't say that just so you wouldn't send the file as an attachment that would clog up their email inbox?

mystery is probably spot on if its hooj.
they dont have a 10mb limit on their releases, but maybe their mail lol.
try send them a link to a download instead

Are you talking about the demo drop thing on their website? The track in my sig was submitted using the same engine and it got through OK at 15MB. mrc.ac represent a lot of labels such as hooj as can be seen on their website.

wouldnt you need 4x samplerate in order to get the highfreqs decent when converting back? 4x samplerate would increase the size again lol so it goes up in up. info is info no matter at what speed. its like filling up a 1L cup with 4litres if u just do it fast enough.

Given that nobody - but nobody - can consistently identify the a 320 kbps track in a 256/320 A/B test, and most people can't even hear the difference at 192 kbps, I'd have to say that you're full of shit.

But thanks for letting us know what's acceptable to you. I'll be sure to send demos to your label right away. Which one is that again?

I know!
















And I'm also still unsigned.

In fairness, I prefer to not have any MP3's and if I have to it's 320.

Not being a cock about it but I honesty can hear the difference in most cases (192 vs 320 vs WAV) but then a lot of that is because by the time I burn a track to cd and mix with it, there's a fair bit of degredation going on so I like to start with wavs wherever possible.

Hard drive and server space is so cheap these days, why not?

For a label, it doesn't matter a single bit, it's not like they're not going to sign your track because they prefer 320 over 192.
