Have you ever wondered if AI can master my music? Maybe you're seeking answers to topics: the best AI mastering, is there an AI that can mix songs, is there AI for music production, can I AI make music, can AI make my song sound better, or maybe even is AI-generated music legal?  Then check out EP 134 of the Inside The Mix podcast.Join me for a riveting discussion with Bobby Owsinski, music production guru and educator, as we dissect the role of AI in today's music scene. Bobby demystifies the jargon and sheds light on how AI is shaping the way we create, refine, and promote music. From the potential of AI to serve as a digital muse to the transformative powers of automated audio mastering, we cover it all. His insights navigate us through the complexities of new-age music production, where AI meets creativity—providing foundational support while leaving room for the human touch to add depth and nuance.Venturing further into the AI realm, Bobby and I tackle the notion of AI-generated music, examining its current limitations and possibilities. Can AI-composed melodies stand toe-to-toe with the intricate works of human artists? We grapple with issues from generic patterns to the emulation of complex genres and vocal licensing. Plus, we don't shy away from addressing the elephant in the room—copyright dilemmas in the AI era. For anyone curious about the future of AI in music and the legal labyrinth that it implies, this conversation offers an enlightening perspective.As the episode comes to a crescendo, we explore AI's capacity to balance and refine tonal quality with tools like Gullfoss and Hornet's Sleek. While examining their potential to change the standard workflow in music production, we remain grounded, recognising the irreplaceable value of human expertise. As I say goodbye to Bobby, I encourage you to discover the breadth of his knowledge on his website, which is a goldmine for anyone looking to keep a finger on the pulse of music production's digital transformation.

Greg Meadows is an acoustic singer-songwriter who plays music as The Low End. He started the project to escape the frustration of complicated computer-based setups and overly processed music. Greg wanted to embrace performance and humanity in his recordings, so he turned to his trusty Tascam 4-track tape recorder. His music emphasizes emotion and performance over production and perfection. I learned about Greg's work while watching his video about a Tascam mixer. I was blown away by his music and spent the rest of the night devouring everything he has created. Greg and I spoke about his work and the philosophy behind it. He spoke about how reducing his setup helped him learn the subtleties of recording and production.

I'm gonna give you three podcast marketing techniques. Now, let me be clear. I'm not talking about directly marketing your podcast to get more listeners. Yes, that's really important. But what's more important is to turn your podcasts into money, and use it as a marketing vehicle to market your bigger products and services. And that's what I'm talking about today.

Hypebot article "10 Basic Concepts For Success In Today's Music Business" by Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0. Much has changed in the music industry over the last few years that affect an artist's ability to be successful. Some of it is brand new and a result of the technology we use, while some of it is good common sense that's been used over and over over many decades of the business. 1. Major labels want radio hits. They want an easy sell, so unless you create music that can get on radio immediately, a major label won't be interested. This is what they do and they do it well, so if that's your goal, you must give them what they want. 2. You must create on a regular basis. Fans have a very short attention span and need to be fed with new material constantly in order to stay at the forefront of their minds. What should you create? Anything and everything, from new original tunes to cover tunes, to electric versions to acoustic versions, to remixes to outtakes, to behind the scenes videos to lyric videos, and more. You may create it all at once, but release it on a consistent basis so you always have some fresh content available. 3. YouTube and Facebook are the new radio. Nurture your following there and release on a consistent basis. It's where the people you want to reach are discovering new music, at least for now. 4. Growing your audience organically is best. Don't expect your friends and family to spread the word, as they don't count. If you can't find an audience on your own merits, there's something wrong with your music or your presentation. Find the problem, fix it, and try it again. The trick is finding that audience. 5. First and foremost, it all starts with the song. If you can't write a great song that appeals to even a small audience, none of the other things matter much. ---- Songwriting Collaborator – Do You Need One? https://found.ee/collaborator Want more insight?

Hypebot article "10 Basic Concepts For Success In Today's Music Business" by Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0. Much has changed in the music industry over the last few years that affect an artist's ability to be successful. Some of it is brand new and a result of the technology we use, while some of it is good common sense that's been used over and over over many decades of the business. 1. It's all about scale. You can't think about numbers the same way as in the old days when sales ruled. A hit that sells only 50,000 combined units (album and single) may have 500 million YouTube views or Spotify streams or more. Once upon a time, a sales number like that would've been deemed a failure, today, it's a success. Views don't equal sales, and vice-versa. 2. The scale is not the same. In the past, 1 million of anything was considered a large number and meant you were a success. Today anything with that number hardly gets a mention, as it takes at least 10 million streams or views to get a label or manager's attention. 50 million is only a minor hit, while a major hit is in the hundreds of millions. 3. There will be fewer digital distributors in the future. It's an expensive business to get into and maintain, so in the near future there will be a shakeout that will leave far fewer digital competitors. Don't be shocked when you wake up one day to find a few gone. 4. It's all about what you can do for other people. Promoters, agents, and club owners are dying to book you if they know you'll make them money. Record labels are dying to sign you if you have have an audience they can sell to. Managers will want to sign you if you have a line around the block waiting to see you. If you can't do any of the above, your chances of success decrease substantially. 5. Money often comes late. It may not seem like it, but success is slow. You grow your audience one fan at a time. The longer it takes, the more likely you'll have a long career. An overnight sensation usually means you'll also be forgotten overnight. This is one thing that hasn't changed much through the years. ----   Three Ways to Determine Songwriting Credits: https://found.ee/credits Want more insight?

Hypebot article "10 Music Industry Predictions For 2019" by Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0. Predictions can be a tricky thing, but if we look at the trends in the music business over the last year we can see where things might be going. Here are 5 more predictions for how the industry will fare in 2019. 1. Streaming Services Remain Unprofitable. Almost all dedicated streaming services are very good at what they do except for one thing – making money. Choked by the weight of label licensing deals, these platforms struggle to find a way to become profitable, leading to a major market consolidation that begins in the new year. 2. Article 13 Brings YouTube Chaos. Be careful what you wish for, major labels, as YouTube is plunged into chaos following the passage of EU Article 13, which holds streaming platforms responsible for the files that their users upload. With YouTube (and other streaming platforms) having to purge so many videos, artists and labels take a big hit in revenue, but even worse, in exposure as well. 3. Artists Use Social Media For Promo Less. Many artists have relied on social media as a method of both growing and engaging their fan bases, but that changes in 2019 as the only way to large-scale engagement comes from paid promotion on the various social platforms. 4. Live Music Legends Replaced By New Faces. The concert industry has long worried about what would happen after the 60s, 70s and 80s legends stopped touring, but a new crop of superstars prove that there are stadiums that they can fill. The live portion of the industry continues to grow despite higher ticket prices and perceived price gouging. 5. Streaming Changes Song Structure Even More. Over the last couple of years song structure has changed because of streaming, with fades giving way to beginning a song right on the chorus to hard endings. Now song length will be the next to change as artists make songs shorter. After all, it's more profitable to have a fan listen twice instead of to only one longer song. ---- Four Ways to Make Your Recording Demos Work For You: https://found.ee/demos Want more insight?

Hypebot article "10 Music Industry Predictions For 2019" by Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0. Predictions can be a tricky thing, but if we look at the trends in the music business over the last year we can see where things might be going. Here are 5 predictions for how the industry will fare in 2019. 1. Apple Music Nearly Catches Spotify. Spotify is still the king of the hill when it comes to streaming with 83 million paid subscribers, but Apple Music is coming on strong at 57 million at years end. Apple Music's growth was significant in 2018, so look for the gap between the two streaming powerhouses to close even more in the coming year. 2. Tencent Music Makes Its Move. Now that Tencent Music had its more or less timid yet successful IPO, look for the company to set its eyes on acquiring more if not all of Spotify. Of course, this only happens if the market rebounds and tech stocks (especially music related ones) again become investor favorites. If not, look for an acquisition down the road. 3. Smart Speaker Growth Is Kind To Amazon Music. Love them or hate them, smart speakers are here to stay and that market will grow even more in 2019. The biggest beneficiary of that has been Amazon Music, and the trend helps it even more, especially right after a holiday with big Echo sales and a boost in Prime memberships. 4. The Charts Mean Less And Less. Billboard has ruled the music world for more than 50 years and its charts have been the bible for artists and labels everywhere. That ceases in 2019, as the charts become more irrelevant and playlists (especially from the major streaming services) gain more influence. 5. Major Labels Lose Their Mojo. Once the dream of every artist, today's artist is more likely to shun a major to go it independently, since so many of the benefits of a major can be had without actually signing to one. Indie and boutique labels continue to grow both in numbers and revenue as artists thrive in a more DIY world. ---- Want more insight?

Hypebot article "Proof the Album is Almost Dead" by Bobby Owsinski of Music 3.0 Listener Joe writes: "I know you guys have touched upon releasing music in 2018, specifically the relevance of the album versus EPs or even singles. I wondered if you guys could dig into this a bit more. As an independent metal artist who is getting ready to release new music in 2019, we've had several discussions in our camp about the appropriate way to do this, which has clearly changed since our last release. The metal and hard rock audience does seem to hold dear its albums and it doesn't seem to me that this will ever completely go away. However, considering how most people are consuming music now, it almost seems like a waste to release an album in which several songs will immediately get lost in space upon release. Currently, we're thinking of releasing an EP, in which we first release each song individually every few weeks before the official release. We know that having CDs, vinyl, and a full EP/album digital release still holds value for part of our demographic and we feel we need to have this available. I'd be interested to hear your take on what you would recommend for a smaller metal artist and on where you think this is headed in the next 5 years or so. Thank you so much! Your show holds immense value for me, my band, and other developing artists! I spread the word of your show to other buddy developing artists whenever I get the chance. Thank you, thank you Joe" Now if you think that anyone in the recorded music industry is lamenting this fact, you're wrong. The business is in what many consider to be a boom period with double digit growth, and it's all coming from streaming. In case you haven't noticed, streaming is all about the song and not the album. Will the album go away as a result? No, it's still a way to compile a set of songs together that can be useful to the artist and label, plus there are some people that still buy CDs or vinyl. But you're going to see less emphasis on it in the future, with songs being released as they're finished instead of waiting for the whole lot to be completed for the album. And this is actually healthy for the industry. Get the songs out fast, give each one maximum exposure instead of being diluted in an album package, and promote them on their merits, just like back in the 50s. ---- Support The Kyle Pavone Foundation at KylePavoneFoundation.org.

This week Blasko and Mike check out an article by Bobby Owsinski and talk about developing the image of your brand. http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2017/12/8-steps-to-brand-development-as-an-artist.html Make sure your brand image accurately portrays your music and personality. If you're a biker band, you probably don't want a website that's all pink and flowery. On the other hand, the pink works great for Katy Perry. Likewise, if you're an EDM artist you wouldn't want your site to show the woods and trees, although that could work well for an alt rock band from Minnesota or someone doing music for meditation. Keep it honest and simple. Don't try to be who you're not, it's too hard to pull off. You are who you are and people will either love you for it or they won't. Best to keep things simple and be honest about who and what you are and where you came from. Differentiate yourself. While it might seem tempting to proclaim that you're just like Coldplay, that doesn't immediately make you their equal in the eyes of the public. The fact of the matter is, there already is a Coldplay, why does the world need another one? It's their brand, not yours. The only way that a brand can be successful is to differentiate itself from the competition. A great example is the seminal punk band The Ramones, who decided that all their songs would be as short as possible and played without solos. There must be something that makes you unique in even a small way. If you can't find it, it may be time to go back to the drawing board. Keep the look consistent. Consistency of product and image are the key to branding. That's why you need to use the same logo and fonts and have the same general look and feel across all your promo for it to be effective. That includes your website, press kit, blog, newsletter and all social media. Create a remarkable logo. This is a requirement if you're planning to promote your brand. You need this for your website, social sites, merchandise, press kit, promo and on your stage during gigs.. Great photos are a necessity. You need first class photos for posters, merch, website, social networks, press kits, and a lot more if you want to build your brand. Give away samples. Learn this phrase well as you will hear it repeated frequently.Your music is your marketing.That means that you can't look at your music as your product. It may bring in some money eventually but not all that much in the grand scheme of things. Remember that 90 to 95% of the money that a major artist earns is not from recorded music. Cool is never declared. You cannot proclaim how new and unique you are. If such a statement is in fact true, people will find out soon enough and tell the world. You can use quotes from other people, but telling the world that you think you're cool does not make it so.

Article: http://music3point0.com/2017/02/23/4-things-record-deal/ Author: http://www.bobbyowsinski.com Bands tend to think that the holy grail is scoring a record deal. I imagine a lot of that thought process comes from the need for validation of their art. There is nothing wrong with that but in this digital age a recording contract is not necessarily the end game. Many a career has been established at the hands of many independent artists for many years. But nothing can change the fact that whatever your goals are, if you want an actual career in this business you need to build some kind of foundation and fan base with your music. I and many others put a lot of stock in bands that can build a strong social media presence early in their career. However, Blasko recently came across a post written on Music Three Point 0.com by Bobby Owsinski that somewhat argues my position and kicks it back old school.   He writes:  It wasn't that long ago that A&R execs at record labels were scouring the online platforms, looking for acts with the high view numbers, page visits or Likes. All that's changed as artists and their webmasters became more sophisticated in gaming the system by using bots or fake users to drive up their numbers. Today you can easily purchase big numbers of views or likes for a relatively small amount of money, but does that actually help you get that elusive record deal?  Gone are the days of A&R executives scouring artist's social media to determine an artists popularity. Now, these executives have in many ways fallen back on older methods of gauging whether an artist will be a label success. Here, we look at four factors they are likely to be considering. Do you actually draw an audience when you play a gig?Do you connect with an audience in a live show as well as you do in an edited video?Are you charming and memorable in off-the-cuff interviews and interactions?Do you actually sound good live? In this episode, we go over each question with real world examples.
