Roots Manuva REMIX COMPETITION! Get the acapella!

Nh Kracker:
You gotta realise it's a quite big record label, for electronic music anyway. Normally if you send them your demo they won't even listen to it if they don't know you or someone has recommended you. They probably get 50-100 demos every week, maybe more.
I met a guy from a small label once at a music business discussion and got his business card. After I sent my demo in, I had to call 6 or 7 times before he had listened to it. I'm not even sure he did. He just said the usual: "it's good, but not what we are looking for blah blah". To get into The music business it's not enough to be super talented. You need to be lucky and persevere A LOT and have hard skin. You are gonna get a lot of "no's".

So, send them demo in will ya. ;)

WOW! You don't have to be so upset about this man! It's not like they are forcing you to participate ;)

Like Armadillo said: this is a GREAT label (not just big in size) - they sign people who have a lot of talent and keep the QUALITY high.

It is an *honor* to have these people listen to your material.


About the time "wasted" - just in case it helps anyone here, I would like to share with you my point of view, from my own experience:

I have spent litterally thousands of hours (or days) learning and learning, focusing and focusing, practicinga nd practicing. EVERY great invention you use every day was invented after a long process with many many many trials and errors. You can apply this way of thinking to anything in life.

Everything takes efforts and in the long run, everything that goes around, comes around (and I will add "... 1000 times")

Think long term here :)

Anyway... Have FUN making music. Remember your time is never wasted.

Take care

It may be too late now unless you send it "next day" which would be expensive

they want the CD by the 17th I think. they are in the UK

Ahh.. its just my random thoughts/rants on mp3 acapellas. I've often came across tracks that were nominally lets say 85 BPM but in fact they were seriously off the BPMs or even out of tune. Chopping them up usually solves the issue.

The main point that i was trying to prove is that MP3 is a lossy format and besides reducing some frequency information encoders often detune it up or down for just a few Hertz, they drop some samples, few bytes etc. Little by little, Error by error and you have a serious drift in the rhythm.

Thats why uncompressed wav files are preferred.
