my very own record label

Post by DREWDANK »

i know i post alot but let me tell you what i have been doing


i have had tons of people telling me that they want to record there own work.
so i have them come over and pay me ten bucks. if they want to rap then i give em a beat. but ussually they bring there own instruments. so i have made my own record label
its called tapdedeck records....and now i have had a huge hit...
so i think that im going to get more into it. i just got a printer where it prints on the disk...so i record em..mabye throw in a drum loop.
and burn it and i just say a buck a cd....
someone give me you thoughts...cuz i want to turn this into something bigger


and sorry for constantly posting im a sixteen year old kid waiting for football season to start

Don't apologise for being a kid and having enthusiasm :D I remember being just like this at 16 : only difference was back in those ancient times there was no internet and thus I just talked about music to anyone who would listen. Not many people would listen though :lol:

Well, I definitely can say that you've progressed a lot in the time that I've seen and mostly heard your stuff here. So, definitely keep chasing that dream of yours man. 8)

I'm in the process of really starting my own band now, I finally found someone that's going to sing and the guy is really good also. I'm really excited, in fact I'm probably as much a kid as you are even though I'm 24. :P

You might want to consider asking one buck fifty to cover the expenses you have with CDs and printing (ink and so on or in case that printing device breaks, you know...).

All that's left now is to say good luck to you man.

being the old ass man that i am..i'm almost jealous of all the avenues youg peopla have now adays to pursue all facets of music-from producing,to recording,to the business side of things.back when i was 16,you were mad lucky to even be able to get your voice onto tape with something other than a kareoke machine,lol..a lot of kids dont grasp how incredibly far technology has come in the last 10-15 years-when i was 22 and a pretty well known mc throughout the region,i still knew only maybe 1 or 2 people that had studios at their cribs-that was an extreme rarity,espescially in the midwest.what am i saying exactly..guess i'm just saying keep doing your thing and have fun with it-what your doing is definitely a great way to gain experience,help people out,and possibly discover someone incredible -one thing i wouldnt do is make half ass beats just for some extra casch though-you should put your all into every peice of music you create-and anything thats associated with your name-and every time you sit down to make a beat,you should be trying to do the best thing you've ever done.
