i am one of those that chose not to go to college and learn to use my creativity for a career.
to those that did: what did your proffesors tell you about how to break into the industry? i mean, you wont get signed immediatley out of college, so where do you promote your music?
whats the biggest field? commercials? video games? the motion picture industry?
i know several people who are involved in at least two of these industries, and maybe one day ill have a chance to get my foot into the door, but i need alot of practice still...

it's still somewhat related and i think that it could be an interesting topic for discussion |

yeah, now that i think of it, it doesnt realy belond here...
BUT, it would be nice if someone else like me wanted to know of a different place to promote their music.
maybe you misunderstood massive84, this IS about music promotion, especialy for amatuers...
but it sounds like this is the section where only tracks are to be promoted, not discusion about said promoting...
please move |

| well, to answer your question, i am not planning on producing full-time but rather as a secondary job/hobby that hopefully I can earn some money on top of my primary job... engineering (not audio) if i graduate from uni |

i did music technology at college, which is nothing major, in fact to be quite honest with u i learnt ing jack all from it, it started with the basics, and alot was theory and based on studying old music. Didnt get taught anything about breaking into the industry. but im sure its just a case of getting to know the right people, if you wana get signed then send tracks off to labels, if you want a career then go work in a studio or summin and im sure that will take u somewhre. maybe when you work your way up youll be able to afford to run your own studio where clients can come and record, or maybe youll be recognised for mixing or recording skills and hired by a big company, the music industy is hardly a small industry, its ing massive, can you imagine the world without it? there are plenty of oportunities just try and do what u wana do. i dont think its a question of whats the easiest way to "break into it" i think its a question of what your good at, what you want to do and the oppertunities that you get. im just trying to build up some contacts and get my tracks signed, i think that could get me somewhere. and if not, then ill keep doing it as a hobby. i dont think its good to rely on music to make a career, especially if you have no quallifications or theory background, sure you can go for it and there are plenty of opertunities, but dont rely on it

| is it really a big problem that we are talking about goals in a promotion forum? i think its a good place because this is where people with goals cometo share their work and toughts, its really no big deal :P |

Thinking of your music career is the last thing you should do. I mean, you may dream but you cannot give things up for that. Especially if you're just getting started.
I know some fellows who have the greatest ideas and they really want to start their music career and make money. Fact is, they really don't get the point, they produce like and they think about money instead of music. Tho they know some people in the scene, who can open some doors, i bet they'll never make as far as they would want to. And seeing this keeps me safely at the ground.
Of course I'd love to get big with music, getting signed is just a beginning, but still that would be so great. If you want to talk about dreams, yeh this is the right thread. :D |

| i dont make music for money, i make it for myself, and i dont think about money when im making tracks. but i still hope that one day it mite help me pursue a carreer relatedto what i love doing, the personal producing will still be personal and not money orientated, i think jacheatamobits meant that. Anyone whos main motivation to make music is money wont get very far |
