no, thats promotion. which can lead to royalties. a club has to pay a fee to play music, but that ends up anywhere but the artists pockets.

If you're in it for the money you might as well quit now.

What makes you so sure you'll get signed anyway?

Everyone thinks positive in the beginning. Even I thought that people would like my Dance eJay tracks 3-4 years ago

unless your big, your viynl sales are probably only going to hit between 2 and 5 thousand.. 5 being on the larger side. your song starts getting hammered by the big names? ... then it starts to go up some, especially if you dj since people who hear the song will want you to show up and play at thier clubs.and why do probably about 95% of us go to see a dj most people have never herad of? cause we heard their song on the internet.most overseas djs who dj in america are here because of the net. so that can help your revenue as well, because now your playing gigs all over the world.then theres the next biggest thing that will bring in revenue besides playing out and thats the compilations. copilations can really help bring the money in.. theres a nice little chunk of change to make off this business its just not always in the music. ..... at least not at first..











GIVE TRANCE A CHANCE....

wow.. 10k+ !! i must be doing something wrong then

most money comes from compilation cds, get on as many of those and you might make some money. cheezy compilation probably sell more so they're not always bad

and you should get money for radio plays, etc.

and for the record, the 10% royalty example given here is not correct. you get 10% of the sale price of the distributor which is offcourse far less than $10.


and btw- anjuna asked me to do the remix. it was funny when they told me what track it was

what remix did they ask you to do? envio?

i wish anjuna asked me for something.

also i have some more questions. for example does endre have a pro studio. and does he use cubase sx 2.0?

you don't need a studio these days

and robert remixed endre

what exact song is it cause i wanna listen to it. did you get payed?

if so was it at least over 1k

or was it just for pride?

while we are on the subject of getting signed and producers income:

is the likelihood of getting signed to a psy label less or more than getting signed to a trance label? on the average, do psy artists make less or more than trance artists?

or is this all impossible to know?
