Story time...
Not too long ago got this 3 song cd demo in the mail... put it in the cd player started to listen... wow! Sound, everything was great! Not just the first song but all 3... Listened countless times... thought if all demos sounded this great it would be really hard to decide which ones to get involved with...
Had the demo in a multi cd player in rotation with other pro-releases... people would stop by my office to discuss other matters... I would watch their reactions when this demo cd would come on to play... one person thought it was a new release by a famous artist who has had hits over the last 3 decades... Not one person ever had anything negative to say about it... only good positive things... that speaks for itself
As producer George Martin would exclaim, "all you need is ears"... Paraphrasing, "all you need is love"...
Now if those lyrics were posted to this site... other writers would have a field day with statements like... 1."it's too wordy"... 2."the songs are too long for radio air play"... 3.on and on etc. etc.
Needless to say the indie artist is doing a brisk business selling cds, and building a larger fan base as we speak.
The point is two-fold: What was it said about first impressions? If it is worth doing, is it not worth doing well?
As for expense... After giving a guy some good advise the man asked me "okay where do you want me to send the money?"... told him to "send his money where ever he wanted to"...
Then I said "no" the only advise about money I offer to the world is this:
No matter if you are enjoying a midnight snack... or conquering the world it always remains the same...
"Get the most bang for your buck"
Not to say dump a ton of money into it to make it right...
Who knows, maybe said too much already!
