Spreading your music Before you releaseit is important to do preliminary work. In addition to live performances, musicians need to have audio recordings for broadcasting them on the Internet. If at some stage you did not have the opportunity to enroll in a professional studio, sign up at home, in acoustics, but - always in decent quality. Respect the listener. Put your notes on all possible musical resources, create groups in social networks. Let the search engine give the name of your group in the first lines. Let your music listen, evaluate and comment on as many people as possible. Let your songs download and spread on other sites. Some music portals: www.realmusic.ruwww.rocklab.ruwww.mastersland.comwww.muzkontakt.ruwww.formusic.ruwww.pcmusic.ru

Research Preferences For this time you shouldanalyze your musical material. What do listeners like more? What is downloaded more often? Where do they leave more comments? And do not forget to be interested in the opinions of people who are near you. Ask them right at the concert. Analyze the reaction. Conduct surveys. Let's listen to the songs familiar and do not say that they are yours. What songs will they sing? Based on this analysis, choose a few songs - 7-8 is enough for a demo album. Among them, songs two or three should be hit (according to your research).

The next stage is technical. Make a good record. Now you can qualify and register everything at home. Surely you have friends who will do it inexpensively. And, maybe, by that time you yourself have already mastered the necessary programs and you will acquire the necessary equipment.

Make a good design of the disc. Its role is to attract attention, but do not forget about its connection with the title and content of the album.

Make a trial run - as far as possiblemeans. You should write down the disc at home, it's real, and it's better to print the cover in the printing house, yet the cover is the "face" of your disc, it should look solid. And - forward. Realize at concerts, give away on the street, take it to the city radio station, arrange with music stores about the implementation. Well, why not try it - send it to the well-known labels of the country. Suddenly you are lucky, and you really will connect your life with the music industry. Just remember that the closer you are to show business, the harder it is to be yourself.
