Mistakes Bands Make When it Comes to PR

There’s no doubt that PR is an important part of any release process. Not only will it generate awareness for your new music and help your band get exposure overall, but PR also makes your band more credible, especially if you’re getting favourable reviews from media! Oh, and not to mention that if your campaign is going well, a bonus is that you’ll have a bunch of content for socials as a result! Today on the Being in a Band podcast, I listed out some of the most common mistakes I see bands/musicians make when it comes to releasing music and doing PR campaigns.

How to REALLY Prepare For The Recording Studio | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
444
Prepare for the Recording Studio by Having MORE Than Just Your Songs Ready What ELSE Should You Prepare for Recording In the Studio?!? Release Assets! Release assets are all the different graphics and videos and podcasts and vodcasts and lyric sheets and... Well, you know what I mean. The STUFF! The stuff you put out to generate excitement and anticipation in your next release. It's a lot of work! But the REAL work starts before you even get into the studio. You need to prepare for the recording studio with more than just your songs. Visit http://www.outerloopcoaching.com to download the Music Management Primer for free today! Please like and comment below! Thank you for subscribing to Outerloop Coaching and Outerloop Records. Hit the bell to get alerts when a new video is released! More on this topic and many others can be found at http://www.outerloopcoaching.com Imagine the documentary or biopic that WILL be made about your career. Humble? Get over yourself! Someday YOU are going to be one of the main characters of a rock film of the ages. Now, what happens when the producer turns to you and asks for all the footage you have of this point in your career? Are you going to hand over a few selfies and lyrics on a napkin and expect him to make a movie out of THAT?!? Now, I'm not suggesting you need to start scripting your own Bohemian Rhapsody now (although that would probably be a fun and productive exercise). I AM suggesting you need to document your present as if it will be what you might not recognize it is. One of the best times of your life. I hope! But it is ALSO great material for your fans. Please don't forget your fans! So, record everything! Record conversations, outtakes, incidental moments. Take pictures, videos, and record audio. Prepare cover songs and alternate versions in advance. Have jams you don't need every member for, so you can record stuff while one or more members are out getting dinner or just cooling off. But never, ever take your eye off what's most important during your time in the studio. Your album or EP. Get a friend or trusted fan to come in and document (and keep track of!) everything. You're going to want to release all this great material on a planned schedule ahead of your release day (cough! Release It Right or Release It Right - Silver Scream Edition!) so know where it is all being stored so you have it for later. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Secret to Music Industry Attention For Your Album | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
438
There are a number of ways to get music industry attention on your album or EP. But this one works EVERY time. And it's one of the easiest things to do. Everyone wants music industry attention on their releases. Whether you're releasing your album to get the attention of booking agents and promoters, or record labels, or streaming sites, or all of the above, you don't want your album or EP or single to get lost among the thousands and thousands of others being put into the world every day. You want to stand out! I think this is one of the most important and underutilized methods for launching or reinforcing a successful music business career. Visit http://www.outerloopcoaching.com to download the Music Management Primer for free today! Please like and comment below! Thank you for subscribing to Outerloop Coaching and Outerloop Records. Hit the bell to get alerts when a new video is released! More on this topic and many others can be found at http://www.outerloopcoaching.com GUESTS. If you're a hip hop artist, you KNOW this works. How this has gone so long without becoming a major part of the recording strategy of every other genre, I don't know. You see your favorite artists having guests on their releases all the time. Sure, SOME TIMES it's because they really want that voice or that guitarist or that personality on their recording. For the art of it. But most the time the "special guest" is buried in the mix. So, if this talent was so needed on this single, why are they buried in the mix? Because their appearance on the recording actually wasn't the point. The point, perhaps unfortunately, is to get the attention of new audiences and the industry. The reason this works so well for developing artists is the concept of Launching Above the Line of Super Credibility. I talked about this the last couple posts and I promise I will keep talking about it until I'm proven wrong. Because I believe in this concept is the most important overarching concept in how to successfully launch a new performance career in the music industry. When you make your first impressions on the music industry, you want to not only be considered credible. You want to be considered super credible. By credible, I mean, believable as a legitimate band and worthy of someone's time and consideration. And by super credible, I mean, irrefutably worthy of someone's time and attention with them already predisposed to like what they hear. I wrote and talked about another way to launch above the line of super credibility a few blog posts ago. Check out that blog post here!

Three Things You Must NOT Have In Your Bio | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
328
There are many things you should definitely not have in your band bio. But these three are things I see bands using all the time and they are huge errors. Don't think just because your friend's bad bio is online you should just copy and edit it for YOUR band. Be sure to make yours better by NOT including these three terrible, terrible things. Visit http://www.outerloopcoaching.com to download the Music Management Primer for free today! Please like and comment below! Thank you for subscribing to Outerloop Coaching and Outerloop Records. Hit the bell to get alerts when a new video is released! More on this topic and much more can be found at http://www.outerloopcoaching.com My two part series on the Elements of a Great EPK (mentioned near the end of the video) can be found here: http://outerloop.group/how-to-make-a-good-epk-part-1 and here: http://outerloop.group/how-to-make-a-good-epk-part-2 I hope you have your band bio open in a Word or Google doc and you've been editing a way adding the items I recommended last week. While you're at it, now you need to take these three things OUT! First, don't include a list of the names of everyone in your band. No offense, future rock star, but noone cares who you are. Unless your names are cool as f#*k, I don't want to read one of them, let alone three to twelve. Every single word in your band bio is important and unnecessary words are just a waste of time. That includes your band names. Sure, if someone is going to write an article or review they will want to mention who's who, but the band bio is not the place to list those out. Focus every word of your bio on pulling the reader in and exciting them. The list of band member names is like reading a phone book. Boring. Don't do it. Take them out! Second, don't include a comprehensive list of nothing much. Again, every word is important so a list of uninteresting events is barely more interesting than a list of band member names. Make sure every event you include in your band bio is interesting and communicates success and excitement. Your band bio should not have unimportant lineup changes, unremarkable performances in other markets or media appearances, or a blow-by-blow pre-history that ends about the same place it begins. Remember to make your story your priority and ignore any and all events that distract the reader from the story. Third, don't include desperation. If you can admit it to yourself, you can see it. Desperation is like blood in the water for industry, and potential fans can smell it too even if they don't know how to recognize it. Take out of your bio anything that sounds bitter or grudging, whether it be directed at industry, your scene, or former members. Your bio should convey confidence, EVEN IF YOUR BRAND IS THE OPPOSITE. This can be a delicate balance so a talented author may be necessary. This last item is probably the most challenging for the self-written band bio. And it's difficult to "test" for. Your friends may not be able to tell you when they read it, either because they don't directly recognize it or they won't be bold enough to tell you it's there. Be as honest and hard on your own writing as you can be and if you suspect this could be an issue for you, ask a professional PR person or copywriter (preferably with band bio experience) to help. It could be a great, small investment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Three Things You Must Have In Your Band Bio | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
386
Your Band Bio is How You Introduce Yourself to the World To make a great first impression, make sure your Band Bio includes these three things In your EPK, there are a number of important elements. Your photo, your video... These are obviously crucial elements to introducing yourself to the world. But your band bio could be the most important. And so many bands, frankly, SCREW IT UP. Visit http://www.outerloopcoaching.com to download the Music Management Primer for free today! Please like and comment below! Thank you for subscribing to Outerloop Coaching and Outerloop Records. Hit the bell to get alerts when a new video is released! More on this topic and many others can be found at http://www.outerloopcoaching.com My two part series on the Elements of a Great EPK (mentioned near the end of the video) can be found here: http://outerloop.group/how-to-make-a-good-epk-part-1 and here: http://outerloop.group/how-to-make-a-good-epk-part-2 I'll write next week about three things your band bio should NOT have but wanted to write this week about three things it SHOULD. First, your band bio needs a story. Your story is how potential fans and media will connect and be intrigued by your band before they have heard a note of your music. Your story is what interviewers are going to ask you about and want to know more about. It's what makes YOU interesting. Here's an example of a great story IN ONLY SIX WORDS: Baby shoes. For sale. Never worn. These six words, extremely quickly, paint the outlines of a picture the imagination can't wait to fill in. Can you write a story for your band in only six words? How about fifteen? Write a compelling story for your band in less than twenty words and NOW you have the start of a great band bio. Second, you need a compelling description of your music. Now, the LAZY way to write a compelling description of your music is to describe it as "this band" meets "that band". YAWN. But this style IS effective in being compelling in that it references things people are familiar with and piques curiosity as to what that description might sound like. Be boring if you HAVE to, but it's better to be creative and come up with a better way to use familiar references to describe your music. Try it out with friends. "I heard this song. It sounds like <insert compelling description here>." If they can't wait to hear... YOU... based on your description, your description IS compelling and works. Third, and this is my favorite, you need to launch above the line of super-credibility. This isn't my idea. This is a concept from startup guru Peter Diamandis. The idea is to make sure, while making your first impression, to associate yourself with people and brands (and brands) the reader will be familiar with and you want to be associated with. Think about it. If you got dragged out to an opera and the venue was a bowling alley, you might have a different impression as to what that opera is GOING to be when you were initially proposed the idea. This is because you associated the opera with ONE idea in your head initially, but then when the venue turned out to be a bowling alley, you associate it with total different ideas. And your impression will sound and look different - BEFORE YOU HAVE HEARD A NOTE OF MUSIC. The same idea happens in your band bio. When you associate yourself with names, you want those associations to suggest something to the reader. Check out the video below for a few ideas how to do this effectively.

Cover Art Ideas You NEED to Consider | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
333
Cover Art is CRUCIAL to Selling Your Music and Your Band Most people don't think of their cover art beyond "that looks COOL!" The album or EP cover art is an important part of every musicians' career. But most musicians don't give the cover art enough thought and consideration. It's often rushed, or no one wants to hurt the feelings of the designer. Sometimes that designer is someone in the band! Visit http://www.outerloopcoaching.com to download the Music Management Primer for free today! Please like and comment below! What is your favorite cover art of the last few years and WHY? Thank you for subscribing to Outerloop Coaching and Outerloop Records. Hit the bell to get alerts when a new video is released! More on this topic and much more can be found at http://www.outerloopcoaching.com Novice bands make it their priority the art illustrate the album or EP title. This is a mistake. Cover art is so much more than this. First, use your cover art to introduce yourself to new fans.This means, you need to stand out and be different while still being attractive to the people you want to listen to you. Stay on brand. You want to make sure your art looks like the quality and aesthetic consistent with everything else you present to the world. Second, you need to think about how your cover art will translate to merch.If your art is challenging or difficult to visualize on t-shirts, LP covers, or stickers, don't do it.. And if you're a band on a budget, it doesn't make sense to make full color cover art when your merch will always be on one or two color presses. Sometimes, simple and iconic is better than elaborate and intricate. Third, think about how your cover art is a launching point for other visual presentations of your band. Does it inspire music videos? Can you create single art that derives easily from the album art? You want to make your cover art immersive. What I mean by that is to create a visual theme around your entire album cycle that derives from the art itself. This extends throughout your merchandise, of course. But it could even extend to your stage set, your band photos, even your interviews! I have one additional item worth mentioning. When naming your album, think of the SEO! People will look for your album or EP online and they may know the name of your album, maybe from the title track, but not know the name of your band. Make sure if you google search your album name (use Incognito!) it will show on page one. Search using combinations of your album name and band name, your hometown, your genre, or any other combination you think could bring up a conflicting result. While you're at it, try to make sure your cover art hasn't been used before using a Reverse Image Search. You don't want to find out the artist is re-using an idea, or stealing someone else's, after it's too late! Check out the video and please like and comment.

Should You Record an Album or an EP? | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
434
Is it Better to Record an Album or EP? The rules around whether to record an album or EP are changing - slowly. Once upon a time, if you wanted to get any attention from industry or fans, you had to make an album. Noone bought singles. No promoter was putting you on a tour unless you were supporting a full length release. My, have times changed. Click the SUBSCRIBE button to get new videos each week! And click the BELL to be notified. LIKE and COMMENT below! But the question we possibly get asked more than any other at Outerloop Coaching is "should I release an album or EP?" And the number of times I have implored a student to at least CONSIDER the QUESTION is more times than I can count. Because I feel strongly on the topic. Unless a record label is paying the bills and demanding an album from you they can sell - record an EP. Albums take a lot of time to record. And they're expensive to record. Let's be frank. Unless you have a large audience of fans already salivating, the album is going to LOSE YOU MONEY. If you're hoping to get signed on the power of the recordings, I can promise you it won't be because "Track 10 just finally got their blood pumping." No record label executive or booking agent is making a decision on your recording based on the 7th or 15th song they've heard from you. So - record an EP! EPs are a perfect way to economically release your music. And EPs collect only your BEST songs so industry folk will be enticed to want to listen to more.I have more great reasons why I think an EP is an infinitely better choice than an album for unsigned artists. One reason I touched on in last week's video about what a producer does. Watch the video above to find out what they are! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How To Self Produce An Album - SHOULD You? | Outerloop Coaching Hosts
302
Many musicians, especially early in their careers, forego hiring a producer in order to keep their costs low. Too many musicians are determined to record whole albums completely self-directed. Sometimes this is by choice. Sometimes it is because they feel they can't afford to hire a producer to help them. But this is a mistake. Did I convince you? Let me know in the comments! Download our FREE Music Management Primer E-Book at www.outerloopcoaching.com If you're a subscriber to this channel already, THANK YOU! (don't forget to hit the bell notification icon) If not, subscribe for a SHOT of music business advice each week and signup at https://outerloopcoaching.com (hit the bell for notifications!) Subscribe to the Manage Mental Podcast on your favorite podcast catcher too! The career path of some musicians is to work without a producer early in their career and then work with one later in their career. But this model is flipped! The career path of MOST musicians is to work without a producer early in their career. They then give up when things don't happen for them like they'd hoped for. But if you look at the career path of most musicians who MADE IT, they worked with the RIGHT producer early in their career and found success as a result, either directly or indirectly. Can't afford to hire a producer for your album? Instead, plan for an EP and spend the difference on the producer. If you need to, with the right producer, it is a better investment to record A SINGLE SONG than an entire album without one. How do you find the right producer? Start by going to your favorite albums. Find the producer who has experience making the the idealized version of the songs you are playing in your rehearsal room. If you network to them but they are unavailable or uninterested or way too expensive, ask for a referral. And if you are unable to network to them, use your local network to find a local producer who will provide the talent, insight, and attention your music deserves. Work with them before their resume' has the names of your favorite bands on it! YOU can discover great producer talent much like you hope record labels or managers to discover great musician talent in you. "Get the producer involved during the demo process," says Tim from Rozu in our exclusive Facebook group for OC students. He's absolutely right. You want a producer who invests in your songs like you are investing in them. Again, check out last week's post for some of the great reasons a producer is needed for your music.

Four Reasons You Need a Songwriting Collaborator | Paul of Outerloop Coaching Hosts
351
Most songwriters don't even CONSIDER getting a songwriting collaborator until later in their career. This is a mistake! Here are four reasons why you should be looking for someone to write your songs with TODAY! If you missed it, last week I talked about Three Ways to Determine Songwriting Credits for publishing. Here are four reasons you need to get a songwriting collaborator. These may be reasons you haven't considered before. Songwriting should not be a solo project, even when you're a solo artist! Paul from Outerloop Coaching shares four great reasons you should work with a songwriting collaborator now and on every song until you have Max Martin money. Excuse the bad camera lighting and primitive technology while we work out the kinks but we wanted to bring you great content in 2019, regularly. Visit us at www.outerloopcoaching.com and be sure to download our free Music Management Primer if you haven't already. You can get it on the site! More Insight: https://found.ee/collaborator Please share and comment below. Click on the Youtube video above, please LIKE IT, share it, and comment below the video. What other great reasons are there to get a songwriting collaborator? Have YOU had a good experience with one? First, the Song Matters Most. Not your ego. Not the songwriting credits on the limited pressing of the LP. The SONG. Make the best song possible by taking the best ideas from two or three people. And these people shouldn't necessarily be fellow band members. Shore up your own weaknesses. If you know someone who is a particularly great lyricist, get them on board to help you if you can't seem to find the words you need. Some songwriters are great at choruses. Others verses, and so on. Great songwriters are often great collaborators so find songwriters you trust and want to work with, and try it. Second, you will learn a TON about songwriting. Everyone has holes in their songwriting game just some people know what they are. And as songwriting is an art, there's never one best way to do it. Collaborating with other songwriters exposes you to new ways of thinking about a song and the process of writing the song. Learn from others. Even if you are learning from their mistakes and own weaknesses. When not working with them in the future, try to remember their perspective and apply it to other songs where that perspective is beneficial. Third, collaborative songwriting Breaks you Out of Ruts. Every songwriter has patterns they fall into. Even the best of the best have certain harmonics or chord patterns or melodic lines they go to over and over again. Some of these are characteristics we celebrate about their talent. Others are just BAD HABITS. Working with another songwriter will allow the songs the opportunity to be exposed to another set of ideas and give them the opportunity to be better because of it. Fourth, it's MOTIVATING. You KNOW you're going to be working harder to get ready for your first collaborative songwriting session. You may not creatively deal well with the pressure you put on yourself - every songwriter is different - but you'll almost definitely work harder, and good results often come from greater efforts. In everything you do. Maybe you'll bring more song parts to the session. Maybe you'll just be motivated to impress them. Whatever it is, however your personality works, use the collaborative songwriting process as an opportunity to get motivated. Next week I'll be back with ways to save money before you go into the studio. Come back for that! In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to Outerloop Records on YouTube for more Coaching videos.

Three Ways to Determine Songwriting Credits | Paul of Outerloop Coaching Hosts
313
On this week's episode, Paul Phelps of Outerloop Coaching talks about three methodologies for determining the ownership percentage of your songs. This is important for publishing income and can have a huge impact on your career and the careers of those in your band. Disagreement on who wrote what percentage of what hit song has broken up more bands than girlfriends and drugs combined. Communicating a strategy that is transparent to everyone will go a long way toward fostering great relationships within your band no matter what methodology you choose - and choosing a methodology at the START of your career is much, much cheaper than the consequences of NOT doing so later. Excuse the bad camera lighting and primitive technology while we work out the kinks but we wanted to bring you great content in 2019, regularly. Visit us at www.outerloopcoaching.com and be sure to download our free Music Management Primer if you haven't already. You can get it on the site! More Insight: https://found.ee/credits Please share and comment below. Songwriting credits have broken up more bands than girls and cocaine combined. When someone in the band believes THEIR contribution to a hit song is greater than you do - nobody cares until the checks start to come in. And then everyone lawyers up and life gets really, really expensive. Not only do you need to be open and communicative about each song's songwriting credits, you also need to have an OVERALL STRATEGY. I have THREE strategies I recommend. The socialist, the pacifist, and the capitalist strategies. Socialist strategy - everyone in the band gets equal credit Pacifist strategy - everyone who took part in the songwriting process gets equal credit Capitalist strategy - only the songwriters get credit and in proportion with their contribution to the song (must be negotiated) Everyone's situation is different and everyone's situation can change. The most important factor is to make sure you are communicative and transparent about your strategy. AND be communicative and transparent about how the credits are being distributed EVERY time. Use paper! Write it down! If you email or text the credits for approval - get a response! The above video is not meant to be a primer on music publishing - go here for that - but is a crucial but rarely discussed aspect of the music publishing process. Remember, everyone is human and your goals should include the talented people you have surrounded yourself with. How songwriting credits are distributed can be one of the most important ways you reward those you want to encourage to be productive. But this productivity MAY not be the songwriting itself. It MAY be more important to you to "keep the band together" than to distribute out the (potentially tons of) morsels to only those who actually wrote the melodies. Just a quick reminder that Release It Right goes through a TON of the pre-recording steps you need to consider. Make sure to check out that course! Learn more about your ad choices.

Avoid the Dichotomy | Jesse of Pinup Artists Hosts
672
When you have to work a salary job or any job that you are paid for your time as opposed to your effort, you WILL get burnt out. We might think that the harder we work, the more hours we put in, the more money we will have to do what we love. However, the problem with this is that unless your day job exists in the creative space, then our time and energy are spent when you finally have a chance to do what you love. A full time job is 40 hours a week. Well if we want to do music for a living, we need to find the time to put in 40 hours a week into music. Take a listen to my latest episode to gain some insight on how to 'Avoid The Dichotomy".  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why DM-ing People Links to Your Music Doesn't Work
1129
We've all received random links sliding up in those DMs am I right? Sometimes these links to music or an event page come from people we don't know without any hint of an explanation let alone a, "hello." To me, this type of "promotion" is not only annoying as hell and un-targeted at best. But at worst (and forgive my bluntness here), lazy and sometimes creepy marketing! Eek! Here's why quantity over quality never wins and what you can do instead if you're stuck for ideas. P.S. This also goes for tagging 367 people in posts about your band.

8 Ways to Survive Your Day Job When all You Want to Do is Play Music | Monica Strut Hosts
981
I'm sure almost all of us have at one point or another worked jobs we hated in order to pay the rent and generally live life. But even if we're working a job that we kind of enjoy, the frustration of knowing our day-job is not fulfilling our life's mission (of pursuing a career in music) can massively suck. Although I now have my own business, in the day jobs I've had, I have always found a way to make the most of things. These "hacks" kept me sane when peers around me were throwing in the towel of their music careers all-together because it was all too hard. So here are my top tips to make the most of your day job when all you want to do is play music! I hope they help!

Four Reasons You Need a Songwriting Collaborator
351
Most songwriters don't even CONSIDER getting a songwriting collaborator until later in their career. This is a mistake! Here are four reasons why you should be looking for someone to write your songs with TODAY! If you missed it, last week I talked about Three Ways to Determine Songwriting Credits for publishing. Here are four reasons you need to get a songwriting collaborator. These may be reasons you haven't considered before. Songwriting should not be a solo project, even when you're a solo artist! Paul from Outerloop Coaching shares four great reasons you should work with a songwriting collaborator now and on every song until you have Max Martin money. Excuse the bad camera lighting and primitive technology while we work out the kinks but we wanted to bring you great content in 2019, regularly. Visit us at www.outerloopcoaching.com and be sure to download our free Music Management Primer if you haven't already. You can get it on the site! More Insight: https://found.ee/collaborator Please share and comment below. Click on the Youtube video above, please LIKE IT, share it, and comment below the video. What other great reasons are there to get a songwriting collaborator? Have YOU had a good experience with one? First, the Song Matters Most. Not your ego. Not the songwriting credits on the limited pressing of the LP. The SONG. Make the best song possible by taking the best ideas from two or three people. And these people shouldn't necessarily be fellow band members. Shore up your own weaknesses. If you know someone who is a particularly great lyricist, get them on board to help you if you can't seem to find the words you need. Some songwriters are great at choruses. Others verses, and so on. Great songwriters are often great collaborators so find songwriters you trust and want to work with, and try it. Second, you will learn a TON about songwriting. Everyone has holes in their songwriting game just some people know what they are. And as songwriting is an art, there's never one best way to do it. Collaborating with other songwriters exposes you to new ways of thinking about a song and the process of writing the song. Learn from others. Even if you are learning from their mistakes and own weaknesses. When not working with them in the future, try to remember their perspective and apply it to other songs where that perspective is beneficial. Third, collaborative songwriting Breaks you Out of Ruts. Every songwriter has patterns they fall into. Even the best of the best have certain harmonics or chord patterns or melodic lines they go to over and over again. Some of these are characteristics we celebrate about their talent. Others are just BAD HABITS. Working with another songwriter will allow the songs the opportunity to be exposed to another set of ideas and give them the opportunity to be better because of it. Fourth, it's MOTIVATING. You KNOW you're going to be working harder to get ready for your first collaborative songwriting session. You may not creatively deal well with the pressure you put on yourself - every songwriter is different - but you'll almost definitely work harder, and good results often come from greater efforts. In everything you do. Maybe you'll bring more song parts to the session. Maybe you'll just be motivated to impress them. Whatever it is, however your personality works, use the collaborative songwriting process as an opportunity to get motivated. Next week I'll be back with ways to save money before you go into the studio. Come back for that! In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to Outerloop Records on YouTube for more Coaching videos.

On this week's episode, Paul Phelps of Outerloop Coaching talks about three methodologies for determining the ownership percentage of your songs. This is important for publishing income and can have a huge impact on your career and the careers of those in your band. Disagreement on who wrote what percentage of what hit song has broken up more bands than girlfriends and drugs combined. Communicating a strategy that is transparent to everyone will go a long way toward fostering great relationships within your band no matter what methodology you choose - and choosing a methodology at the START of your career is much, much cheaper than the consequences of NOT doing so later. Excuse the bad camera lighting and primitive technology while we work out the kinks but we wanted to bring you great content in 2019, regularly. Visit us at www.outerloopcoaching.com and be sure to download our free Music Management Primer if you haven't already. You can get it on the site! More Insight: https://found.ee/credits Please share and comment below. Songwriting credits have broken up more bands than girls and cocaine combined. When someone in the band believes THEIR contribution to a hit song is greater than you do - nobody cares until the checks start to come in. And then everyone lawyers up and life gets really, really expensive. Not only do you need to be open and communicative about each song's songwriting credits, you also need to have an OVERALL STRATEGY. I have THREE strategies I recommend. The socialist, the pacifist, and the capitalist strategies. Socialist strategy - everyone in the band gets equal credit Pacifist strategy - everyone who took part in the songwriting process gets equal credit Capitalist strategy - only the songwriters get credit and in proportion with their contribution to the song (must be negotiated) Everyone's situation is different and everyone's situation can change. The most important factor is to make sure you are communicative and transparent about your strategy. AND be communicative and transparent about how the credits are being distributed EVERY time. Use paper! Write it down! If you email or text the credits for approval - get a response! The above video is not meant to be a primer on music publishing - go here for that - but is a crucial but rarely discussed aspect of the music publishing process. Remember, everyone is human and your goals should include the talented people you have surrounded yourself with. How songwriting credits are distributed can be one of the most important ways you reward those you want to encourage to be productive. But this productivity MAY not be the songwriting itself. It MAY be more important to you to "keep the band together" than to distribute out the (potentially tons of) morsels to only those who actually wrote the melodies. Just a quick reminder that Release It Right goes through a TON of the pre-recording steps you need to consider. Make sure to check out that course! Learn more about your ad choices.

What is the Difference Between the Producer, Engineer, and Mixer?
327
The Difference Between the Producer, Engineer, and Mixer is Sometimes Subtle and Sometimes Great. Here's What You Need to Know Before Going Into the Recording Studio! Knowing the Difference Between These 3 Roles Can Save You a Lot of Grief When You're Recording Your Masterpiece I will admit - the first times (yes, TIMES plural) I went into the recording studio as a musician, I thought the very nice and talented guy who owned the basement studio who mic'd up all our instruments, sat behind the mixing console, and made the guitar sound like it was panning from left to right over and over again (not my best idea), was the producer. We even gave him that credit on our releases. Honestly, the only thing we'd seen to help us understand the producer role was what we saw in the movies. There was a guy, sitting behind the mixing console, chain-smoking and hitting a button telling the singer when to stop singing. That was it. While the guy we were paying the hourly rate for use of his studio and his talent as an... engineer... was a really great guy and certainly put up with a lot from us young musicians, he wasn't the producer. And when he stared at us blankly when we wanted to take those raw recordings and release them, we knew something was wrong. "These need to be mixed." "Weren't you doing that already?" "No. I was recording. Mixing comes after." "Um... how much is THAT going to cost?" Needless to say, the mixing process doesn't pop up in La Bamba, so how were we to know? So, here it is - the difference between the producer, engineer, and mixer. Download our free Music Management Primer! www.outerloopcoaching.com Thank you for liking, commenting, and sharing this video. The producer is responsible for everything - soup-to-nuts, as they say. They are responsible for what notes get played, by whom, and with what. If you are making those decisions, congratulations, you are the producer. A producer can often have so much influence on a song, they get songwriting credit. The influence of the producer on a song should be felt each and every time you perform that song for years to come. Not just in the studio.The producer should demand great performances from the musicians during the recording and is the ultimate arbiter as to what is worthy and what is not worthy of your recording. The producer bosses YOU around. The producer bosses the Engineer around. And the producer bosses the Mixer around. Do you need a producer? Watch and read what I think about that next week! The engineer makes sure the performances are captured the best ways possible. They are responsible for making sure microphones are placed in the optimal places near the instruments. The engineer is responsible for the recording volume levels so the recordings can be cleanly worked with during the mix later. The engineer hits the record button and the stop button and you always hope does so at the best moments possible. The mixer doesn't come in until after all the recording is done. They take all the recordings and blend them together into a finished, listenable recording. The mixer turn some sounds up and other sounds down for the final mix so they're the one you tell when the vocals need to be louder or the bass quieter... or the guitar should pan to the left and right incessantly. The producer is always on hand for the mix because they are ultimately responsible for the finished product. But they are telling the mixer what they want to be louder than something else. Keep in mind, often these roles are performed by the same person. There are some terrific producers who also have the talent of an engineer. Some producers insist on doing the final mix themselves. Whomever is doing what role for your recording, make sure you know ahead of time. This will save you a ton of embarrasment - and potentially money - later. Learn more about your ad choices.
