The Only Way To Sell Your Music Now Is To Go Out And Do Gigs.
The Last 3 Gigs I Have Done,i Have Sold Over 100 Cd's And These Were Not Big Events.i Understand If You Are A Producer Then Doing Gigs Is Not Possible But With File Sharing And Free Downloads It Is The Only Way Now.it Is Too Easy Now For People To Stay At Home Making Music [in Any Genre,not Just Dub].remember The Days When You Had To Pay Crazy Money For A Studio And Ended Up Getting Crap Results Cause The Engineer Was A Wanker Etc.now Everyone Can Do It With A Little Bit Of Software And A Little Bit Of Knowledge.the Best Will Still Rise To The Top.
As For The Sound Quality And Mastering Thing,some Of The Best Reggae Stuff Was Recorded On Whatever The People Could Get Their Hands And Experimenting With Whatever They Had.no Fancy Compressors Etc.
I Have Been Lucky Enough To Work With Some Great Established Reggae Artists Lately And They Are All Perfectly Happy To Come To My Little Home Studio And Record.
I Am No Expert But If It Sounds Good,it Sounds Good.
Yes Brothers And Sisters,it Is A Hard Road If You Want To Make Money.i Only Put My Own Stuff Up For Free Download As Most Of The Stuff I Post Here Is From My Band And I Can't Be Bothered Asking Everyone If I Can Give It Away So I Just Put It Up To Stream
But Like You All Say,anyone Can Record It.
I Would Rather The Situation Now Though Than 20 Years Ago When There Was Nowhere For People,professional Or Amatuer,to Get Their Music Heard.only A Select Few Ever Made Big Bucks Anyway.
