5 Coisas Rápidas Que Você Pode Fazer Hoje Para Melhorar A sua Carreira Musical

5 quick things you can do today to give your music career a boost

First of all thanks to Cheryl B. Engelhardt for this article.

Let’s cut to the chase here. Who has time for reading stuff? There are songs to be written, gigs to be played, careers to be built!

So in this article you’ll find five actionable tips in five “Key Areas” (as I like to call them) of your music career that, when attended to, can cause radical results. And the cool thing is that you can do these things today.

(If you want to dig into these five areas a bit more, I’m hosting a free live training on August 2nd! You can sign up here for free and at the end of the training I may even review your website… live!)

Here are the five key areas and a quick tip for each that I will be talking about in depth on my live video training. (If you’re the visual type, you can watch me share each tip in a quick video by clicking on the word TIP).

TIP 1: Branding.

Let’s start with some questions: Ever wonder what you should post on social media and on your homepage when you’re in between events, shows and album releases? Still debating what to use as your header images?

How about making all of those things reflect one message:

What. You. Want.

Now is the time to do a sweeping update of your social media accounts and website to make sure they reflect what you want and who you are.

TIP 2: Pitching.

Every year, millions of kids line up and ask Santa for what they want for Christmas. They are excited to see him, and unabashedly tell him their wishlist with no fear he is going to say NO.

At some point along the way, we lose this courage and stop sharing what we want and asking for it. What to do today? Make a request of someone in a Yes/No question format- see what happens!

TIP 3: Engagement.

Build relationships online by commenting on others’ posts, asking questions about your followers to learn more about them, sharing others’ content (and tag them for extra cross-promotional benefits!), and replying to anything positive.

TIP 4: Money.

Okay, full disclosure: this tip is too big for one post. We’re going to really dig into this even more on the webinar.

How you think about and relate to money can be the difference in how your year goes. I think about money like this: Money is like air… there’s enough for everyone, and the more you breathe in, the more you can breathe out. So, today, take a look at your last 6 months of money-in and money-out. Once you get a clear number of the AVERAGE you spend per month and the average you NEED, you’ll be able to get clear on how much you want to generate. Spoiler alert: it may in fact be lower than you think!

TIP 5: Getting It Done.

Do you have a task on your list that is always getting pushed back? Procrastination is one of the biggest barriers to a musician’s success. The fix? Break your big tasks down into specific micro-tasks. And (here’s the pro-tip) then schedule those tasks in your calendar, not on a to-do list or napkin or post-it.

Extra Pro tip: Don’t listen to the feelings/reasons/voices in your head to NOT do something. Do that thing instead of thinking about why you shouldn’t.

The posts musicians share will now appear on their artist activity page so that fans can follow along and see all that they’re sharing in an accessible format.

‘Blade Runner 2049’ - A Música Por Hans Zimmer

‘Blade Runner 2049’ to Feature Music by Hans Zimmer

Hans Zimmer is currently scoring Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049. While we first heard of the composer’s involvement in the project back in May, Villeneuve clarified in a recent interview with Studio Cine Live that the composer is collaborating with Benjamin Wallfisch on the score and the theme written for the movie by the film’s original composer Johann Johannsson who is still involved in the project will be used in the score. The sci-fi thriller starring Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Carla Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto takes place thirty years after the events of the first film and follows a new blade runner who unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. Hampton Fancher and Michael Green (Green Lantern) have written the screenplay. Ridley Scott who directed the 1982 original film (scored by Vangelis) is producing the project with Broderick Johnson, Andrew A. Kosove (The Blind Side, Insomnia). Blade Runner 2049 will be released on October 6, 2017 by Warner Bros. Pictures. Visit the official movie website for updates.

J.R. Schumann - O Influenciador Nos EU Do "Country Power Players"

2017 Country Power Players: The Influencer

THE INFLUENCER
J.R. Schumann, 35
Senior Director of Country Programming, SiriusXM

The executive in charge of SiriusXM’s country programming says he’s proudest of the artists the satellite broadcaster’s top country channel, The Highway, has spotlighted early in their careers -- many who have broken through to a larger audience. (SiriusXM reaches 31.6 million subscribers but doesn’t break out listenership by genre.) During the past year, Schumann has watched two female artists who were designated “Highway Finds” catch fire: Carly Pearce, whose “Every Little Thing” is No. 18 on the Aug. 5 Country Airplay chart and has sold 138,000 downloads, and Ashley McBryde, whose single from her upcoming album, Girl Goin' Nowhere, “A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega,” got early love from Schumann and helped the Arkansas native score her Grand Ole Opry debut in June.

FGL On J.R.
Prior to Schumann’s arrival at SiriusXM in early 2016, The Highway played a significant role in breaking Florida Georgia Line, and member Tyler Hubbard praises the programmer’s ­continuation of the tradition of “giving new artists a chance for their music to be heard.” Adds his partner Brian Kelley: “Passion is a huge thing. He came all the way to Boston to celebrate our first ­stadium headline show at Fenway. That support is one of a kind.”

Don't Tell Him Ballads Make Bad Radio
If you talk to terrestrial radio programmers today, they’ll say, “I need tempo.” But “that’s a myth,” says Schumann. “Pick the greatest songs by the greatest artists of our time, and either their No. 1 or No. 2 song is going to be a ballad.”

There's A Lot Of Music Out There
Schumann says he receives close to 100 tracks a week, about half of them from indie and unsigned acts. To sift through all that music, he creates playlists that he listens to throughout the workday. When something grabs his attention, he replays it. He also has discovered a gem or two at local showcases. “I saw local songwriter Phil Barton perform a song he had co-written called ‘Skin & Bones.’ When I told him how much I loved it, he told me that Eli Young Band was ­recording it,” says Schumann, who lives in the Franklin area of Nashville. Schumann tracked down the song “and we ended up playing it as the first single leading up to the album launch.”

He's Excited About The Future
Upcoming songs from Brett Eldredge, Old Dominion and Kelsea Ballerini are all “amazing,” says Schumann.

Ronnie James Dio Holograma - Preparado Para Turnê Mundial

Ronnie James Dio Hologram Set For World Tour

Ronnie James Dio's hologram is going on a world tour.

Rolling Stone reports that the tour has been named Dio Returns, and the image of the metal singer, who died in 2010, will perform with live musicians from the Dio tribute band Dio Disciples.

The European leg of the tour starts in Helsinki on Nov. 30, and it'll arrive in the U.S. by the spring of 2018. You can also expect the Dio Returns Tour to make an appearance at select festivals next summer.

Dio's widow, Wendy Dio, and his estate worked on the project with the hologram company Eyellusion. The tour will use audio from some of Dio's live performances, and the hologram will supposedly take you back to the singer's Sacred Heart and Dream Evil tours. 

"In 1986, for the Sacred Heart Tour, Ronnie and I created the Crystal Ball with Ronnie filmed and speaking in a suspended crystal ball effect, done with back projection, which was the closest we could get to a hologram," Wendy Dio tells Rolling Stone.

"Ronnie was always wanting to experiment with new stage ideas and was a big Disney fan. With this said, I am sure he is giving us his blessing with this hologram project. It gives the fans that saw Ronnie perform an opportunity to see him again and new fans that never got to see him a chance to see him for the first time. We hope everyone will enjoy the show that we have all worked so hard to put together."

Quer Estrelar Ao Lado Do Seu Músico Favorito No Seu Vídeo? Este Aplicativo Pode Te Ajudar

Want To Star Alongside Your Favorite Musician In Their Video? This App Can Get You Pretty Close.

First of all thanks to Hugh McIntyre for this article.

Have you ever watched a music video that accompanies one of your favorite songs and wished you could have been a part of the production? Perhaps you want to be closer to the artist fronting the visual, or maybe you’d change something about it if you could? Now there’s a startup that aims to put fans into the music videos they love...sort of.

After years of forging relationships with some of the biggest labels and artists in the world, Nashville-based startup VideoBomb has just recently launched on iOs, and the company is finally off and running. The app allows anyone to film themselves lipsyncing along to a beloved single and edit the clip to feature both them and the superstar who made the track a hit in the first place. The final product cuts back and forth between the professional treatment and the fan-made option, which is split up and inserted intermittently. 

The resulting new video is not as high quality or exciting as the company boasts it will be (the idea of inserting yourself into a music video from one of the biggest rockers or pop stars on the planet is certainly enticing), but it’s exactly the sort of thing that younger Millennials and Gen Z go crazy for. VideoBomb follows in the footsteps of Musical.Ly, which also doesn’t worry about high production values, focusing instead on letting kids have fun and share their creation with the world immediately.

The company launched its product at the CMA Festival earlier this year, where a number of high-profile artists joined in on the fun, including country superstar Hunter Hayes, who filmed himself singing along to a Brett Eldredge’s single. 

Users can download 15-second clips and upload them to social platforms for free, and after doing so at least three times, they will then be able to do so with 30-second short videos. Fans who opt not to pay will only be allowed to use the first minute of any song to record their version, but for $1.99, they can access the entire track. Right now, VideoBomb has a library of 47,000 music videos from two of the three major labels, and more should be coming soon.

The newly-available VideoBomb app is a fun first step into what could be a huge industry (fans of any form of content inserting themselves into the show, movie, or music video of their choice), though it is clear the technology still has a long way to go before most people would be willing to invest much time or money into it. If this startup can keep the lights on and the buzz going, perhaps it will be the one to further the tech, and one day, it can really, honestly look just like you’re singing right alongside your favorite musician in their most popular video, which would be a dream come true for millions of people around the world.

Mass Effect Andromeda - Minha Demo Da Trilha Sonora E Efeitos sonoros - Video

Mass Effect Andromeda - My Demo Soundtrack and Sound Design

Hi everyone!

A few months ago I was experimenting with different sounds in my midi controller, particularly looking to do something more with the sub-sonic effects.

When Mass Effect Andromeda was released, I thought! Why not do something using the teaser, so that's what I did with some effects using sub-sonic.

 The soundtrack I did while watching the video and fit the track for each part.

Well that is it! I hope you enjoy, any comment will be welcome, whether it's positive or not.

See you next time.
