I sent an application to Symphonic yesterday for my new label, Strange Attractor Records, to be part of their Partner program and got an approval email today. Really stoked about this!

Signed up a couple months back and have been using it after doing a demo with their team - GREAT results tbh and the quality health check + follower history chart are crucial for avoiding sus playlists. If you are willing to grind and put some work in this is absolutely the best tool! Thank you bro great video

That so called walkman you buy has no Dolby noise reduction, auto reverse or normal, chrome dioxide or metal positions (sure they will play but you won't get the benefit). You'll also have to drill your own hole in the cover to adjust the head in a year or two 😊

I’m completely hacked off with playlist pitch companies and curators- at best they accept 20-30% of all submissions which makes it a huge cost for very little for most artists. There is also a chance that one or more of these playlists are botted which happened to me resulting in one of my favourite tracks being removed from Spotify. In the end the artist pays both financially and emotionally as well as reputations damage. I’ve found when playing through these playlists, they all sort of sound the same so it can be hard to have your music fit that. Music is an art as well as a business and you should just write and create what makes you happy, not what you think sells or fits playlists. The best thing I’ve done regarding playlists is create my own with music I’ve selected that fits what I think my music works with. I’ve promoted that via Facebook ads and it’s growing well. Best thing with this is, as you own the playlist, you can keep your music on it as long as you want without having it pulled at the end of a month. Also because it’s tailored the way you want it helps the algorithm place you with the right genre and artists that fit your vibe

Worst video ever. Total misinformation. You have no clue what a record sleeve is. The visible part is not what you think it is. Have you ever seen pan that is showing dimensions with arrows? A line with an arrow is not the line that shows what's visible. Jeez! The blind leading the blind!

I miss the days of when a good old fashioned press release sent via snail mail was sometimes all it took to get written about. This whole pay for attention thing rubs me the wrong way & the few times I've tried, never returned results. Haven't heard of Groover until now. If I try it, I'll definitely use your promo code.

Cassette decks are significantly more complicated and fragile compared to turntables. Decks require more general maintenance due to this. I love the way tapes sound and all the ambient/weird new stuff coming out but it can be frustrated needing to fix or swap out players.

Thanks for the video. I would like to know what if a record label released my album with ISRCs that they generated themselves. Would it be wise to generate my own ISRCs while uploading on a distributor (which means I lose the streaming numbers) or does it not matter if I use the same ISRCs. Im afraid to have the streams go to the record label. Or does it just mean that the ISRC is the first person that released and doesn't have any power over them anymore? Also would it be wise to create a new UPC? thanks

As with turntables, buying a decent secondhand cassette deck requires research. There are millions of hi-fi cassette decks out there from the 90s that used variants of an Alps mechanism that performs very well and only has one very easy to change belt. It doesn't use an idler tire for fast forward or rewind as many mechanisms had over the years that always led to failure, so that's one less point of failure. They have very low wow & flutter at typically 0.05% WRMS. A small sample of the decks using variations of this mech are the Denon DRM-650S, Pioneer CT-S410, Pioneer CT-S450S, Teac V-1050 and Yamaha KX-580. The first, third and fifth are Dolby S decks. None of them cost a fortune secondhand. At the risk of sounding like a sales exec, Dolby S brings unrivaled levels of transparency to cassette recording, although you do need a Dolby S deck to play them back properly. In 1989, Dolby Labs collected a group of audiophiles together to audition a CD versus a Dolby S cassette recording. At normal domestic listening levels, they couldn't reliably distinguish one from the other. As well as providing huge amounts of noise reduction, it's designed to very effectively combat the effects of tape saturation giving excellent high frequency response even from a typical Type I tape. It's estimated that around 30 million pre-recorded cassettes were released in Dolby S, and many of those are still available secondhand today. I think that was an impressive last gasp from a format that had already been around for over a quarter of a century and had gone from little more than a mono dictation machine format to something that was a surprisingly close rival to CD. Lou Ottens and Ray Dolby, RIP.

Hi, thanks for the great content! I think what you shared is closer to a positioning statement rather than a mission statement. A mission statement is usually broader and focuses on the purpose of the label, while a positioning statement highlights the unique value and target audience. Still, this example is super inspiring and practical.

I remember in the late 80’s record stores would display on the end cap the vinyl..cassette & cd release of the artist of their release so u could choose which format…

I'm a huge fan of cassettes. I first got into them in the late 70s when I started recording my favourite songs onto mixtapes from the radio. I still have all those mixtapes! My previous position as mastering engineer for Red Manor Records in the UK actually came about due to the RMR CEO, Tony Villa being a huge fan of cassettes too. We connected because of that shared passion. I'm in the process of preparing my own record label, Strange Attractor Records for launch, and I plan to have some of our artists available on cassette and even open reel. I have quite a large stock of mostly 80s unopened blank cassettes and also have some high end decks (a Nakamichi 582, a 582Z and a Harman Kardon CD491). I'll be making special order cassette releases of some albums using these decks and cassettes. They will be recorded by me in my studio and will be for dedicated fans at a higher price point than the mass produced runs. These will be very high quality recordings on some of the best tapes from TDK, BASF, Maxell, Denon, Sony and the like.
