Step 1
Distributing Your Music It is important to do some preliminary work before releasing an album. 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 record at a professional studio, record at home, in acoustics, but always in decent quality. Respect the listener. Post your recordings on all possible musical resources, create groups on social networks. Let the search engine give the name of your group in the first lines. Let as many people as possible listen to, rate and comment on your music. Let your songs be downloaded and posted on other sites. Some music portals: www.realmusic.ruwww.rocklab.ruwww.mastersland.comwww.muzkontakt.ruwww.formusic.ruwww.pcmusic.ru
Step 2
Preference Research During this time, you should analyze your musical material. What do the listeners like more? What is downloaded more often? Where do you leave more comments? And do not forget to ask the opinion of the people who are near you. Ask them right at the concert. Analyze the reaction. Conduct polls. Let's listen to the songs to friends and don't say that they are yours. Which songs will they highlight? Based on this analysis, pick a few songs - 7-8 is enough for a demo album. Among them, two or three songs should be hits (according to your research).
Step 3
The next stage is technical. Make a good note. Now you can sign up with high quality and put everything together at home. Surely you have friends who will do it inexpensively. Or maybe by that time you yourself have already mastered the necessary programs and acquired the necessary equipment.
Step 4
Make a good disc design. His role is to get attention, but don't forget his connection to the title and content of the album.
Step 5
Make a trial run - as far as money will allow. Write down the discs at home, this is real, and the cover is better printed in a printing house, nevertheless, the cover is the "face" of your disc, it should look solid. And - forward. Implement at concerts, distribute on the street, take it to city radio stations, negotiate with music stores to sell. Well, why not give it a try - send it to famous labels in the country. If you are lucky and you really connect your life with the music industry, just remember that the closer you are to show business, the more difficult it is to be yourself.
