Jed Carlson comments on Why and How ReverbNation Lost My Love

Jed Carlson — Sun, 19 May 2013 03:13:14 +0000

Joshua, I'd love to have a conversation about this with you and win you back! How do I reach you?

At a very minimum, I need to correct a few things that are not accurate in your story:

1. Our Reverb Press Kit (RPK) costs only $5.95 per month, not $12.95/month
2. Our Promote It product campaigns start at $35 minimum, not $250. The only campaign that starts higher than $35 is the 'promote a release' campaign, which starts at $199 I think.
3 Promote It does offer a free trial - its for the promote a song or promote a show campaign types.

More importantly, I'd love to talk with you to learn how, in your opinion, Reverb could be doing a better job driving value for you.

Best,
Jed Carlson
President, Co-Founder

Kevin McLoughlin comments on Psychoacoustics: The Power of Sound

Kevin McLoughlin — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:47:02 +0000

Hey Rajiv,

Really inspiring article!

Your topic hits home with me for two reasons.

1. I'm a big believer in the influence environments hold over our psychology/physiology.

2. I work at a startup that's trying to improve the way we communicate online, by letting people add music/movie/sound clips to their messages.

Check it out, I made you one.

Cheers,

- Kevin

p.s. really appreciate any ideas you might have on improving communication through embedded music.

Jenny Dale comments on How Does Spotify Pay Artists? An Answer That Makes Sense!

That is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe how little these artists get back and still they allow Spotify to make big money off of their backs.

Angel Gonzales comments on Analog vs digital in mastering

In order to come up with a successful result, it would be better to use analog and digital. I thought digital is a better choice in mastering because it is more high end which means it can give better result but i think it is more expensive compared to analog.

M. Stewart comments on MondoTunes, CDBaby, TuneCore, and ReverbNation: How They Measure Up

M. Stewart — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:47:35 +0000

I don't know about MondoTunes yet, but CD Baby straight-up sucks now. They once were great, but now are greedy to the core and without quality to support. Hopefully MondoTunes can hold a balance and keep their soul too, guess we'll see.

I apologize for the formatting and spacing of this article, my computer froze in mid-edit and then posted the article before I could finish making it pretty. Ugh!!

BradKMGMT comments on The 5 Best Online Business Tools For Bands

BradKMGMT — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:27:53 +0000

For as long as I have been in this business, the golden question that I continue to get asked buy my manager pals is"When is someone going to create an all round system for the modern artist manager?"

It's a great question and for a manager like myself who is juggling anywhere 4 to 10 acts at any given time it is much needed. Jumping from Outlook, to Google, Excel, Mastertour and any other number of accounting packages just doesn't work as effectively as it used to anymore.

I was pretty excited when i heard that Eventric was going to be launching an Artist Management Module this spring. I think it is definently way overdue and might just make the task of managing multiple acts a little bit easier.

I would love to hear from some other managers out there and see how you tackle the tasks of the modern manager.

sunny davar comments on 25 Social Media Resources For Musicians

sunny davar — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:41:29 +0000

In many countries only online presence is not going to help artists . What is required is a good mix of interent presence and also on ground opportunities. Also , when we talk about on ground opportunities focus starts getting narrower and many times it becomes country specific.

I have come across a new initiative www.songdew.com , it has many features which other sites have but the best thing is that it is providing on ground opportunities to perform to artists . I find the dashboard easy to use, and functionalities excellent. Worth a look !!
