I have the next big thing in music but noone believes me

Facts (from IFPI-report):

"Recording costs for an emerging pop act in a major market are estimated to be between US$150,000 and US$500,000.
The average cost of video production for an emerging pop act in a major market is estimated to be around US$50–300,000 for three videos.
A record company can spend between US$200,000 and US$700,000 trying to break an emerging artist in a major market.
A typical advance from a major record company to a new pop act in a significant market is estimated to be between US$50,000 and US$350,000 and this rate can be much higher in competitive situations."

Advance US$50,000–350,000
Recording US$150,000–500,000
Video production US$50,000–300,000
Tour support US$50,000–150,000
Marketing and promotion US$200,000–700,000
TOTAL US$500,000–2,000,000S ource: IFPI member record


+ Educated opinion: (the Writing 'problem with music' by Steve Albini):

Record wholesale price: $6.50 x 250,000 = $1,625,000 gross income
Artist Royalties: $ 351,000
Deficit from royalties: $ 14,000

Manufacturing, packaging and distribution: @ $2.20 per record: $ 550,000
Gross profit: $ 710,000

The Balance Sheet: This is how much each player got paid at the end of the game.

Record company: $ 710,000
Producer: $ 90,000
Manager: $ 51,000
Studio: $ 52,500
Previous label: $ 50,000
Agent: $ 7,500
Lawyer: $ 12,000
Band member net income each:
$ 4,031.25

"The band is now 1/4 of the way through its contract, has made the music industry more than 3 million dollars richer, but is in the hole $14,000 on royalties. The band members have each earned about 1/3 as much as they would working at a 7-11, but they got to ride in a tour bus for a month. The next album will be about the same, except that the record company will insist they spend more time and money on it. Since the previous one never "recouped," the band will have no leverage, and will oblige. The next tour will be about the same, except the merchandising advance will have already been paid, and the band, strangely enough, won't have earned any royalties from their T-shirts yet. Maybe the T-shirt guys have figured out how to count money like record company guys. Some of your friends are probably already this fucked."

Notice that Mr.Albinis writing "the problem with music" was done on the early 90's..

Hi, I have the next big thing in music..

Or you could just post your demos somewhere.. the most normal way to do things.

Think how easy it is , you get the introduction , ambition focus etc  - presentation and all the stuff required (+ the remarks pointed out by others members of this forum) at one shot - an ear will tell.
none of the possible misInterpretation is required -  let's hope you don't automatically see other peoples stuff as you describe yours, - because it might get tricky to collaborate.

to bend the spoon (for lesser observation) ,  an example would be that: instead of by not posting your music you would end up to start a topic such as this..
By that you can avoid missing all of those attributes you mentioned - as to be missing ingredient X or Z.

Btw: Shouldn't speak to an idiot or stupid - as trolls are, let's hope the moderator wasn't right

Still the question remains the same : what happens to the quality of music when it's being measured by the value of music?

Example how it works: apparently Martin Sandberg "posted" this demo back in the golden days of Cheiron
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03gNY1IvVmk

End product:

Somewhere between those (and before) two clips 'even the next big thing in music' faces that question..so some abbreviation logic might cause a headache if the symptoms of the thesis
would have to be done on a right order for the original proposal. that there is no such construction as a recorded hit outside electricity or bits and zeros. So try a demo first.

It's some amount of under 1% of worlds population - where the core people of the music business are. but are we sharing a free lunch here..

Y'all don't seem to get that he does not [even] have any demos to post, as he's already said himself.


Anyway: so funny how much attention this guy gets from you guys!

That's the reason why.

Exactly. But I won't tell you why
