I finished writing a song and i'm certain it could be a hit but I don't !
Question: I finished writing a song and i'm certain it could be a hit but I don't know what to do with it now!?
I'm 14 and I play piano, bass, guitar and drums and I played all the tracks in the song and I wrote dozens of other songs but I'm sure this one could be really popular since it's really catchy and it just feels like a waste to have it and to not be able to share it so I'm kind of lost and I don't know what I should do with it or how to share it!. The song is very funky and has a little electronic aspect to it and has a really catchy chorus too!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
1!. Be sure ALL audio you record is at an acceptable level!. Ensure you have NO CLIPS!. This involves monitoring your levels on your indicators to ensure the red lights are never hit or there is no indication of "clipping"!. This occurs when audio exceeds 0db in volume!. Digital audio that exceeds 0db and clips is NASTY!!
2!. Record your drums and bass first!.
3!. Add your guitars!.
4!. Add the lead guitar!.
5!. Finish by adding the vocals and chorus!.
6!. Listen to it with ruthless ears and see if it does need additional remixing or mastering!.
Then comes the difficult part!.
1!. Copy write your work!. Register your song/music/lyrics with the US copyright office!.
2!. Find an agent or get ready to make a lot of calls!.
3!. Try finding a music producer who likes the same genre of music your work falls into and call or email him until you get an appointment!.
4!. Besides doing this, make your myspace page and promote it there!.
5!. Some local stations help new musicians, so again, call, call and call!.
6!. Be persistent, the call you don't want to make might be the one that helps you most!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
