All You Need to Know About the Music Business, 11th Edition

All You Need to Know About the Music Business, 11th Edition PDF

Dubbed “the industry bible” by the Los Angeles Times, All You Need to Know About the Music Business by veteran music lawyer Donald Passman is the go-to guide for everyone in the music business through ten editions, over thirty years, and over a half a million copies sold. Now with updates explaining why musicians have more power today than ever in history; discussion of the mega-million-dollar sales of artists’ songs and record catalogs; how artist access to streaming media, and particularly TikTok, has completely reshaped the music business; the latest on music created by AI; and a full update of the latest numbers and trends.

For more than thirty years, All You Need to Know About the Music Business has been universally regarded as the definitive guide to the music industry. Now in its eleventh edition, Passman leads novices and experts alike through what has been the most profound change in the music business since the days of wax cylinders and piano rolls: streaming. For the first time in history, music is no longer monetized by selling something—it’s monetized by how many times a listener streams a song. And also, for the first time, artists can get their music to listeners without a record company gatekeeper, creating a new democracy for music.

The “industry bible” (Los Angeles Times), now updated, is essential for anyone in the music business—musicians, songwriters, lawyers, agents, promoters, publishers, executives, and managers—and the definitive guide for anyone who wants to be in the business.

So, whether you are—or aspire to be—in the music industry, veteran music lawyer Passman’s comprehensive guide is an indispensable tool. He offers timely information about the latest trends, including the reasons why artists have more clout than ever in history, the massive influence of TikTok, the mega million dollar sales of artists’ songs and record catalogs, music in Web3 and the Metaverse, music created by AI, and a full update of the latest numbers and practices.

510k SEQUND

510k SEQUND v1.0.1 WIN

SEQUND has quickly risen as our flagship product. We’ve been dreaming about it for a while and the best of our M4L patches are now available for all main DAWs. We have combined our favourite features from our own polyrhythmic sequencers into one single AU/VST plug-in, and then added some more… The result? Quite a unique and powerful tool… (ok we’re bragging a bit, but we’re really in love with what it does!)

Like our Probabilistic sequencer, SEQUND features two melodic lanes and a probability lane sequence allowing you to alternate between both melodies. Each lane has an independent length thus facilitating the generation of complex polyrhythms and evolving patterns with disconcerting ease. We’ve added Hold, Chance, Length, Octave, Transpose and 3 MIDI CC# lanes to make all this even more funky and flexible.

Whether you want to create exciting bass-lines with subtle variations or eccentric melodies filled with groove, SEQUND’s extremely intuitive interface instantly triggers your creativity process… Each user preset contains up to 12 patterns that can be recalled instantly via MIDI notes to allow pattern changes on the fly with seamless transitions and incredible timing.

The new Transpose function is available before or after the scale quantisation, allowing you to shift your melody and always stay in key whatever you do, or act like a traditional transpose. Of course the Transpose function is also controllable via MIDI notes, which means that you can transpose your sequence in real time via your keyboard whilst recording into your DAW. You can “play the sequencer” if you like and use it with Soft-Synths as well as Hardware Synths.

Of course we have kept and improved the randomisation features for instant generation of sequences and packed it with lovely artist presets from no less than Alexander Kowalski, Arno, Brawther, Christian Burkhardt, Cristi Cons, Cyrk, D’Julz, Goldmoon, Janeret, Josh Wink, Katie Drover, Okain, Oshana, Reboot, Robin Ordell, Rodriguez Jr., Soela, tINI, and Tripmastaz to get you started…

Streaky ColourBox

Streaky ColourBox 1.0.0 [WIN]

Colourbox’s 4 effect modules work great individually. However, by blending the flavours together, you can create an endless colour palette of sound settings. Simply adjust them to your taste.

Warmth
The low mids of a track need to be strong as this is where most of the heavy lifting is done. The Colourbox warmth curve adds the right amount of EQ based on the incoming strength in this area.

Clarity
When balancing individual sounds in mixing, it can be difficult to achieve clarity across the whole mix without making some of the sounds thinner. The clarity effect instantly fixes this by adding the right amount to your mix buss or in your mastering chain, you’ll be surprised by the instant result.

Focus
By employing some Mid/Side EQ magic, Streaky has developed the focus curve to draw out the presence of the track very quickly without effecting the phase and stereo balance. You don’t need much of the focus to hear the difference and it works perfectly when blended with the other effects.

Saturation
We have sampled and combined some of Streaky’s favourite analogue hardware to add just the right amount of saturation to the ‘S’ button on the Colourbox. The ‘S’ button also doubles the effect of the Warmth, Clarity and Focus so it can be used heavily on drums, guitars and keyboards, as well as adding some serious flavour across the whole mix.

The Perfect Mix Enhancer
The combination of the Saturation and intelligent EQ curves employed in the Colourbox make it a must have on any mix buss. Streaky has put his 25 years of being an EQ Ninja into the development of this plugin so it’s quick and easy for you to get instant results without the guesswork.
