The real point is that your 320k stream does not pay anything to the artist or songwriter per play.

I'd say you have a better chance to sell something if when I stream you, your songfile sounds crisper.

But that's the point - those doing streaming these days don't really care about 128/320 difference in sound, and they are not buying any music. So the streaming services need to pay the artists. Unfortunately, these days the $ per stream from those places that DO pay (Spotify, for example) is so pitiful that it takes literally thousands of plays to make a buck.

Hey!?!?!?!?


i resemble that remark!



OK, here is my band doing something "melodic" a couple weeks ago

Nice job, Ted.

Only deal is, the ladies prefer a soft 6/8 to do the waltz.
(@ least they USED TO)

What? this is 4/4 time

OK Eve-

You wanted something melodic so hear (pun intended) it is in 128 Byte MP3 format!!!

Nevermind Ted. He's a smoozer!!
(and he drinks skunky beer!!!)

I listened, I liked that better but the production was kind of heavy, weighed down.

A close friend of mine has this band. I think they rock.

I listened to a few of the tunes - there were only youtubes? Or is the MP3 player somewhere else on the page? I find the format of the page very old fashioned - the two 'boxes' of info to the right, updates and the 'stations' playing their music, the font is so tiny I didn't bother to try to read it. then there was the funky visual thing going in the top right box, not sure what that is supposed to be.
The music, meh, some mix issues on a couple of the songs, and some inconsistent volumes that could be fixed with mastering. Didn't really pay much attention to the videos, but noticed on at least one the visuals matched up with the lyrics fairly well.

There are some timing issues with the vocals not synching up to the music on the first song.

I was wondering the same thing about the YouTube embeds vs other media players.

Confusing.

It was meant to be heavy (weighted down). Tribal drumming, lo-fi drums, EQ cut on the top side. If you look @ the picture and listen to the music you get the story. Fourteenth-century Celts dancing in the castle.

Whatever happened to production effect?? Production affect is used to color music to product certain effects. Is everything so sanitized as to having to sound 'modern' (whatever that is) to be accepted??
Again, you missed the boat. Strike two.

You're welcome.

Thanks for checking it out and the comments! The pic is some sort of mysterious animation. There's a play button for the mp3 to the right of the videos. IMP sees their design as artists doing a site for artists, they're glad it doesn't look like the boring corporate templates of reverb nation and soundcloud.

one question, one answer, Eve if I may, do you work for the company you are promoting here?
