Hello all,
I hope that all is well out there on the interwebz and at home/studio in the DAWs.

I've got a topic here that I've been meaning to post for a while, so here goes.

I was chatting with our good friend Joe (Shavingronaldscar) today and he informed me that he was just signed to a label. Wooo hooo!!!! Congratulations, Joe (please remind us of the label's name - I forgot and closed the chat before I marked it). In discussing, I was reminded again of this topic idea which is simply, do you have a label that represents you or have you released your own album? If so, please share your experiences with the group.

The music industry, as we all know and has been discussed fairly often lately, has been going through a sea change. The DIY (do it yourself) mentality is back in a major way. While this has it's pluses, there are drawbacks of course (for everything, right?). So, with the ability to score an album in your own bedroom if desired, what is really the place of a label but to distribute our various arts? It's a complicated issue and one that many of us have very little if any experience with and it would be a great benefit to the group to explore the topic further here.

So, what was your album releasing or label signing experience like? Are you satisfied with the results? What could have gone better if anything? What would you do differently next time or would have been done differently if you had "known better"?

Please feel free to address this topic however you would like whether it be rant form or sticking to the topic strictly. I would love to read about it and, of course, we can all learn from the successes and mistakes of others.

Alright...thanks for playing!!!!
