THE FUTURE OF MUSIC – FROM ALL COUNTRIES
I have been writing here before about my digital music. Simply, when I started this I wanted to make my own songs!
Are you in? I did not felt myself comfortable just singing others music, karaoke and so on. I am also a lyricist, Soo….

Are you without a band but a singer? Do you have tips for making music? Are you sitting there in your living room with your computer and just join online karaoke sites? Do you have knowledge in any music Software? Feel free to contact me and join the group WeGoDigital!
Also wanted to share some valuable links to those of us making our music digitally. (below) You can put time and effort in making music both in real but also digtally. You have a thought about a song, you miss the text but have created the music piece. You have the lyrics but no music or you are a singer without any of these. Then find collaboration with other musicians, preferably digitally making musicians.
This is a chance for the people who does not yet have a band, a thing taking time to set up. If you can make notes, if you have an “ear” for the sound and some knowledge in making the notes then you are in a good position. More practice gives you more knowledge, the more you make the more you learn and after a while you can slow down your tempo and concentrate on the quality….hence from the beginning and certainly on the net, you mostly see and produce demos. Should you be offered a contract you probably have to re-record this pieces in a studio anyway.
Finally, see all music pieces on the net as demos. I am listening to a lot of bands, professional bands, but sometimes I hear a very bad recording while listening on the net, also you can be offered just a 20 sec sample in many places. Also some of my own early creations sounds less good in quality.
Of course, they often do not put full quality songs on the net because of the piracy risk. Many are recording in 96kpbs, while 128kbps use to be the minimum and 192kbps should be. To sell your recording yourself (not via any company) you should record in 224kbps. That´s my experience, otherwise people do not want to buy it.
So, come on all digital music makers! Do not just sit there. You have a lot to give, at least something.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. And of course, feel free to visit my site http://sivanto.se, or Myspace site (join the group) and listen through my demos on my site.
I sing rock, easy listening, ballads, funk and some country and actually I have been awarded three times since 2006. Therefore I want to share this idea.
