hah, this is fun reading.


Im not rich, im very very poor i believe, and i did not get 10k, that is... what i got was 250£ and that is not much.

And kallocain was made 100% in reason, that is correct.


And i dont think i will earn much on kallocain, but much more with the nickson remix than without it, cause the track is basicly shit, in other words i dont like it much, well, its ok, but i made it when i was drunk, does that count as an production mabe by me then? pretty funny...

anyway, glad you like it, i hope you buy it aswell

cheers

AHAHAHAHA, i couldn't even finish reading the whole thread before replying... dude... get real... and get a job!

you're not likely to get 200 grand in releases, unless you make numerous PRETTY FUCKING AMAZING masterpieces.

and making trance simply to get rich... well, we all know TA's opinion on this.

i dont know about you guys but, i would never make a shitty track for money. well this is how i see it if you can make money on a shitty track then you'll probably make even more with a good track.

i like to make good tracks and would never lesser myself into making something i didnt want to, and putting my name on it.

endre do you choose what remixs you wanna do?

also would anjuna let you release like 3 tracks every month, if you had time to make them and they were good? and also do you get to choose your the songs you wanna remix?

or do they select what your gonna remix next?

3 tracks per month is a bit much. Remember, you've got to allow time to promote the track and build up the hype before you release it. The last thing you want to do is flood the market with a bunch of tracks under the same name. A lot of artists have different aliases for this reason (filo and peri).

I think a few tracks (maybe 5 or 6) under one alias per year is more accurate.

Besides, Anjuna is a little backed up release wise.

endre have you meet like any celebraties in the electronic music scene.

Since there are so many real producers posting in this thread it is a good place for me to ask this question. Say i'm a producer (which i'm not) and maybe i'm talented (not true), and i want to do a remix of artist x's track, which has been signed to a label. Now i know nothing about producing music, but presumably i need the files that where assembled to create the track in order to reproduce it. Now how would i go about getting those files? I mean, do artists and labels for the most part just give them out, probably making the recipient sign some non-disclosure agreement? Or is it pretty hard to get your hands on if your not well known or associated with the label? I'm just interested to know for the most part how the trance scene works behind the scenes and who gets to remix what and so forth.

Originally posted by Nell 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.

So who gets the money then? Record labels? Does this explain why so many artists start their own record labels? I mean, higher risk, but probably more payoff in having your own label.

Endre,

You are amazingly talented! I love your music and cant wait to purchase your next single this september!


Keep up the inspiring work!

Well in the case of endre, they signed the original mix. Then they have obviously heard some of robert nicksons work so then they approached armada (the label Rob's with) to ask if he could do a remix of kallocain for a fixed fee. they give him the files/midi etc, he does the remix, gets paid, end of story.

alternatively, the producer may already have asked a friend to do a remix for fun or whatever, then the track gets signed afterwards includign the remix or whatever.

or like ocenlab sattelite, they pay for a few official remixes, but also hold a remix competition whre the files to remix the track are publicly availible and anyone can have a go at remixing it, and anjuna will then pay for the favourite ones that will eb released etc.

etc etc etc.

IN THE UK: when tracks are played in bars clubs, the club holds a licence to play music. this licence is paid for annualy, and the money that is paid is then divided amongst the record labels. all the big label get most of the money (like WARNER, EMI etc in the UK) and then tiny little dance labels get from zilch to fuck all money.

Tracks played on the radio mean that the artist should recieve a royalty per play.
