Facebook Novo Slideshow Para Vídeo De Música

Facebook’s New Slideshow Feature Just For Music Videos

First of all thanks to my friend

for this article.

It’s obvious that Facebook has been gunning for YouTube for some time now, and the service now claims that it now has more video viewers (although that’s debatable). That’s not enough though, as Facebook will soon introduce a feature called Slideshow that will allow users to create their own soundtracks from a list of licensed popular songs.

Although only Warner Music has signed on currently, all the major labels look to Facebook as a higher paying alternative to YouTube. Having another competitor in the music video streaming space could also force YouTube to reconsider it’s 55/45 payout schedule which has been the bane of record labels for some time. With the rest of the streaming industry paying 70% or more of collected revenue out on royalties, the major labels view YouTube as the thing that’s holding back users from subscribing to the paid tier of streaming networks, since it’s difficult to compete with free.

The labels would still be OK with YouTube if it paid a higher royalty, but since that doesn’t look to happen soon, Facebook’s Slideshow could be their dream scenario.

Facebook, Instagram and Messenger users currently spend 50 minutes a day using the services, CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed on the company’s last earnings call. It also reported an surprising 57 percent increase in ad revenue to $5.2 billion, and the music industry would certainly like to get a larger piece. That said, the average person spends about 1 hour and 12 minutes viewing online videos, and much of that is still on YouTube. Facebook would like to be part of that daily experience, which is why it views Slideshow as important.

Slideshow better be easy to use and even easier to search, as that’s the secret sauce of YouTube. It’s the second largest search engine in the world (and owned by the largest, which is Google), and that basic ability shouldn’t be underestimated.

Este Mac APP Faz Fones De Ouvido Baratos Soarem Melhor!

This Mac app makes cheap headphones sound way better

There's an app for Macs called Boom 2 that helps unleash the true potential of any headphones, including those cheap earbuds that came with your smartphone purchase.

The app helps boost certain levels of sound, like bass, mids, and treble to give your music a clearer, richer sound.

There's also a special option that makes you feel like you're on stage with your favorite band or artist, and it's amazing. It'll sound like your headphones just woke up and spread their wings.

Without the app, my music sounds flat, constrained, and muffled.

Yes, Boom 2 costs $15, which does seem expensive for an app. At the same time, we write about and recommend products worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars, so this app is a comparative drop in the bucket. Boom 2 is also a one-time purchase that you can keep forever and transfer to new Macs.

Here's how it works.

Find the Boom 2 app in the Mac App Store and buy it.

Tech Insider

Once installed, you'll see the Boom symbol on the menu bar at the top of your Mac's screen. Click it and click the the button with the three dots. Start playing music so you can hear the difference when you change the settings in Boom 2.

Tech Insider

In the Boom 2 menu, turn off the Boom Volume at the top. All it does is boost your Mac's overall volume, which you most likely don't need.

Tech Insider

Turn on the Equalizer option, then select "Rock" from the presets on the right. This will give your music a little boost in bass and treble to make it sound a little livelier.

Tech Insider

Then, click the Ambience option on the bottom left, and click/drag the orange circle to where the orange arrow is pointing. Your music should sound much better than it did before you installed Boom 2.

Tech Insider

You can try turning the settings off again to hear what your music used to sound like, but chances are you'll never go back. 

You can always try different equalizer presets, like Hip Hop or Jazz. But the key here is the Ambience option, which unlocks the true potential of almost any headphone. You can also adjust the level of Ambience, but I've generally found that a conservative setting serves me best.

Note that not all headphones, especially the really cheap ones, will be able to handle these extra settings.

The Force Awakens Soundtrack on Vinyl Has Spinning Holograms Etched Into the Records

Given the resurgence in the popularity of records, Disney didn’t really have to do much to sell 

copies of The Force Awakens soundtrack now that it’s finally available on vinyl, months 

after the film’s release. But if you still need a reason to drop $50 on another copy, the 

records feature 3D holograms etched right onto them.

YouTube Adota Uma Nova Ferramenta Para Pagar O "Royalty" Mais Rápido

YouTube Adopts A New Tool For Faster Royalty Payments

One of the things that bugs artists, songwriters and labels about YouTube is that it’s pretty difficult to get precise information about views and payments. In many cases, views aren’t counted and in other cases payments take too long to arrive. YouTube is hoping to alleviate those problems by implementing a new tool based on the DDEXDigital Sales Report Flat File standard.

DDEX is an organization dedicated to standardizing the data of the digital supply chain, and its members include Amazon, Apple, ASCAP, BMI, Google and the 3 major labels. The Digital Sales Report Flat File standard is a way to standardize the data so it’s the same regardless which part of the supply chain its in, from content owners like labels, to performance rights organizations and publishers, to digital retails like Spotify and Pandora.

By adopting this format, YouTube is taking a giant step to not only speeding this standard along to companies and organizations that haven’t adopted it yet, but also much faster and more accurate reports and payments from the service.

Data exchange has long vexed the music industry, as each organization has their own standard primarily based on the accounting system it has in place. In many cases, these accounting systems are old but reliable, and companies are reluctant to spend the money and feel the disruption of implementing something new that might end up not being able to interface with other new systems. As a result, it’s not uncommon for a label or publisher to receive sales data from a distributor, then have to enter it in manually into its own system. Because of the manual component, not only does it take an inordinate amount of time to input, but there are also errors that occur along the way.

Maybe now we’ll all see faster and more accurate royalty accounting. The initial testers of the new standard include YouTube, SACEM, GEMA, BMI, NMP and Kobalt.

Artistas Britânicos Tem Mais Lucros Com As Vendas De Vinil Do Que As Licenças Do YouTube

British artists profit more from vinyl sales than YouTube licensing

British artists have hit out at a discrepancy in their income streams which sees many make more money from the sale of resurgent vinyl records than they do from the ‘meagre’ royalties on offer from YouTube.

Vinyl sales have surged for the eighth year on the trot in the UK on the back of a hipster fuelled nostalgia wave with more than 2m of the outsized discs sold in the UK in 2015, the highest figure since 1994.

This dovetails with the growing global popularity of British artists who now account for one in six of all record sales internationally – a record high. 

Despite this new found popularity artists have not benefited from a concomitant rise in YouTube earnings, which contributed a ‘meagre’ £24.4m to the industry as a whole in 2015. By comparison vinyl sales generated £25.1m for labels over the same period.

Both numbers are drops in the ocean compared to total revenues for the British music industry however, which totaled £688m – although that itself represented a fall of one per cent.

Geoff Taylor, the chief executive of the BPI and the Brit awards, remarked: “… the fact that sales revenues dipped in a record year for British music shows clearly that something is fundamentally broken in the music market, so that artists and the labels that invest in them no longer benefit fairly from growing demand.

“Instead, dominant tech platforms like YouTube are able to abuse liability protections as royalty havens, dictating terms so they can grab the value from music for themselves, at the expense of artists.”

In response YouTube defended the generosity of its licensing system, saying that it had helped the music industry combat the impact of piracy with its rights management system.
