Hey guys! Jorn here from Spinnin'. There's one thing I want to explain better on Big tip 2: vocal. I advise you to use samples as you break through quicker with a sample than an original recording but we are absolutely not against using new vocals at all. It’s just a tip to break through quicker. Cheers!
@joshmaddox9
@joshmaddox9 2 жыл бұрын
Won’t using samples be more difficult to break through being that clearing them for small independent artists is very difficult and therefore won’t be able to go on Spotify or any streaming platform due to copyright?
@RobVice
@RobVice 2 жыл бұрын
Well, here's the thing. Splice and similar services are full of vocals that have been overused by this point, especially all the solid ones. I know a handful of labels who won't sign your record if you have those type of vocals in your track. On the other hand, clearing samples is a total nightmare and even more so for small artists. Recording original vocals is pretty much the only viable way to go but it's incredibly hard and costly too, especially if you are doing it for hire. There are no easy ways but if you have deep pockets then power to you.

Thanks for the clarification! I was really confuses by this. Like as a beginning producer with no mic and not knowing a lot of good singers, I really enjoying using vocal samples from sample packs for an example. Also I use Splice sometimes

Hey Jorn! Thank you for the free advice and all I ask is for one more piece of it I'm sorry hahaha I just got my first production placement on a professional project for the first time for a decently popular artist. Is there any advice on where I should go from here to keep finding placements? I'm afraid that straight up asking the rapper for connects that I can send more beats to comes off as greedy or like I'm using him. Thank you for the great advice as it's crucial for me at the moment as I finally am getting professional with my music production after almost a decade of doing this. I also am more of an old school hip hop sample flipper so this brings me comfort hearing this. I know hip hop isn't Spinnin's genre but I know your advice is valuable regardless. Again, thank you for being genuine and spreading valuable knowledge!

Let's not forget that this guy (while a nice guy and good at his job) is still working for the music "business". This is an industry machine that focuses on profit over fostering art. It's "big music", and there's a lot of workforce and connections outside of an artist's talent that helps propell people. Then they make it look like it was just the artist, when it was not.

The only problem I have with “making” songs for a specific label like Spinnin is that you’re making a song with the sound of the label in your mind. When you try to fit in a current trend or genre that a label is looking for don’t limit yourself, don’t choose a kick or clap based on the taste of a label. This won’t flow you’re creativity

I have a bunch of music in process that is quite uniquely my sound and I just can’t even find a label that it could fit into. That’s why I am going to make my own “label” and post my songs through it (alongside other music that is similar to my taste). It’s a long game but if I can build the label up then it could serve as the ideal avenue for my music and style.

So true! This is what is the problem with the labels. They are basically telling you what to do. And one more thing nobody talks about is that if you release on a big label you DON'T OWN YOUR MUSIC. And that's crazy. And in most cases even big labels don't do sh when it comes to promo. They might post the music video on their social media ONCE and that's it. Like what's the point releasing on a label not ownining your music and not having control over your promo? You are 100% right mate! Self release only :) Btw What kind of music do you make?

Thanks great video but I think its depressing. You need to be good social and networking. You need to be young. You connot be (too) original. You should use old vocals. A single track is not what they want. So basically they are a marketing machine that wants to milk the young artist that is still malleable for a long time only for the biggest audience that is not interested in new and original things. I understand how it works and in a way I can't blame them but I think it's depressing.

Great video! but I have to disagree with some of the points. I think that the downside of releasing on a label is creative restriction. If I want to release something completely new and fresh I can do that if that's self-release. And I am sure if you work on your marketing and promo there WILL be people who WILL like this new sound. Why extending trends when you can make your own? I think that music nowadays is flooded with remixes, covers and we lack good original music. I'm not against that at any point and I do like making remixes but definitely believe that artists should build and grow their own fanbase. This way you don't have to ask anyone what to do. You are own boss. I wouldn't reject an offer if a label contacted me, but I'm not going to send them demos intentionally :)

So when it comes to record releases and demos. Are you just...not supposed to upload it to spotify if you are trying to get it infront of a record label? Do they upload on your behalf? Im just wondering how and what these record labels would actually do for an artists and the benefits.

I would love clarification on the Vocal Sample topic. Is he referring to the use of vocal samples of known songs or vocal samples you encounter in sites like splice? Because the first option seems like a nightmare to make viable

@jornheringa 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Kookycloud, both can work well but if you want to get exposed quicker, samples of older record can speed up this process...but not...if you do it the right creative way...you need to reaction like: i know this but i can't put my finger on it! Then you can have a winner. We help artist clearing the publishing rights if we like the record....many artist broke though this way in the past....so that's just a tip to get noticed quicker....Or create a completely new trends yourself, that's the coolest of course but not super easy : ) i hope this helps. all my best, jorn

Re the using well known lyrics, doesn't that cause all kinds of copyright problems and prevent label release? Unless you wanna do a bootleg

At 6:10, the tip with the vocal, does he mean sending them a cover of an old song, as in recording a new vocal with the lyrics from an old hit (which seems to be a recipe for the slap house tracks). Or could it be sampling a track, or using an acapella from an existing track? From what I've read, most labels don't want bootlegs/remixes or edits sent to them in their demo drop. Just interested in what he meant there.

hi anton, i will explain a bit more....1 on 1 samples or bootlegs don't work anymore...but you can use only the melody of an old song and create a complete new top line on top of it...i call this creative sampling...so you still hear something familiar but people cant put their finger on it directly...i hope it more clear now. all the best! jorn
