Nicko Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 We have been together a while now, and have had a few gigs, but are struggling to expand the number of venues. A lot of LLs want to hear what we sound like before booking us - which I guess is fair enough. Although we have a few videos we are seriously thinking of recording a demo CD. I assume if we give this away for the purpose of securing bookings there's no issue with copyright/royalties etc,? It seems there's plenty of bands posting recordings of covers on yootoob and their own websites - is there a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) This is a bit of an old topic but I find that depending on the sort of venues you play (ie we play pubs) most landlords, if they can be bothered (and thats a whole other thread) just want to hear a half decent live recording just so they can be reassured you're not totaly sh*te on the night. Polished studio demos are a waste of time IMO for the sort of work we do. I record our gigs with a little zoom H2, then tart them up a bit in Reaper at home. By tart up, I mean a little EQ and compression. These mp3s then go up on facebook etc but could be burned onto CD for the landlords. Top tip - get a printer that also prints onto blank cds then print your band logo on 'em, looks way more professional.Thats it! Oh yes, the copywright bit, forgot, dont worry about it, the PRS wont be the slightest bit interested/organized to do anything.
