Omg, me AGAIN X.X
Till few days i got some friends that keep asking me if i will sell my track i am making?
Answer: No, i'm not THAT good for selling tracks.. i just do it for fun anyways.
BUT, I was wondering if you need to be signed for selling tracks?
I see alot of "Independant" people selling their own tracks AND i see so much people saying: This track didn't get signed so i give it for free? But what about "indie" people? Are they signed or not? I'm all confused now :| You need or not to be signed for selling tracks? You pay or not for selling your tracks? How did it work? all websites say different things...
._.
Thanks :D
Jee-D, AGAIN. *rolling eyes* |

| You can use Bandcamp but the problem is there's so much music being posted online you'll never find your audience without the promotional muscle of a label (with rare exceptions). There's only so much you can do independently to promote yourself online before it just turns into spamming on forums and what not. The apparatus to sell music is simple and easy, but getting people to listen and buy is a real challenge for an independent artist. There's just an ocean of music out there your release is like a small ripple in that big pond |

| By definition the moment you render/record your track down to a tangible format (mp3/wav, etc) it can be sold. You are technically only suppose to sell COPIES of that original wav/mp3 and YES you can sell it yourself. You are the true copyright owner, you recorded it, you wrote it, the composition, lyrics, musical entity is yours. No one can stop you from selling it, however that's where the problems start to come in, you will have an awfully hard time fighting piracy, plagiarism and all other sorts of copyright laws. You can pay $3 or whatever it is to register it with the US copyright agency but by default of you owning the stems you have the right to sell any mechanical's in the US. The composition just needs to be registered with whoever your agency is, ie BMI, ASCAP etc. :) |

Yeah i think when you sell the song 1$ they take like 0,10$ per track you sell? I guess it depend of where you sell it too.. iTunes, beatport... |

| Yeah something like that... if you want your up on amazon and itunes check out TuneCore though having gone through all that I don't really recommend it. It's cool to have your stuff up there but I didn't benefit from it in any way and it was $50. Your experience might differ though |
