Where's the recording studio? That seems to be a big part of what makes a record label a record label.
Will musicians still have to pay for studio time, production, etc? If so, this seems more like music promotion in the cloud, rather than a label per se.
Still, it's a great idea and I hope it is successful.
- chinmoy 14y agoRecords labels hardly pay for studio times these days. And forget that if you are a new unsigned band. And that is what they are targeting, right?
- bergie 14y agoWe have one studio of our own in Helsinki (see http://letgostudios.com/ http://letgostudios.com/), but otherwise we're partnering with studios in different places. Traditional labels don't always pay for studio time either, but at least we can provide different options in that area...
- drcube 14y agoYou're right, a lot of times studio costs come out of the artist's advance. And there are plenty of local studios that musicians can pay to record in. But still, one of the big things (in my mind) labels have going for them is state of the art record studios and top-notch producers. Maybe in the future you could consider fronting money for studio time and having a list of freelance producers? Most of the local bands I know (wrongly) feel like they could manage promotion themselves through Facebook and email. But they get really excited at the opportunity to record.
- DanBC 14y ago...even a good engineer is useful. Playing music live is very different to recording music in a studio. Knowing that you want a bit of echo on that and you want this to sound a bit crunchy is good, but knowing which buttons to twiddle to get that is tricky.
