Selling Your Music Without Selling Out

| Posted in General

In this day and age, we all recognize the weakened economy is taking a severe impact on our budgets and even the arts. Due to the amount of time and work required by music, it is often one of the first things to get left behind as the budget crunch hits and we are forced to go on to pursue higher paying ventures, also known as jobs.

When we put down our guitars to pick up spatulas, we know we have lost a piece of our souls but, sometimes, our obligations leave us with very few realistic options. We have to eat and, for some reason, family members insist we keep a roof over our heads.

Homebuyers

I have done some research on the subject of tax credits for homebuyers. A great way to pass the time. There seems to be a lot going on at the moment. It makes it worth to invest some time in this subject. The pay-off could be interesting, for both home-owners and first-time homebuyers. If you click on the link below, you’ll get an instant overview of what’s happening today:

2010 Homebuyer Tax Credits

This is also a great place to start a new home search.

The first-time tax credit was working, but what housing and our national economy needed was incentive for the move-up buyer. According to The 2009 National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the number of first-time home buyers rose to 47 percent of all home sales from 41 percent of transactions in last year’s study, and was the highest on record dating back to 1981. The previous high was 44 percent in 1991.

Getting Started – Making Your Own Hip Hop Beats

| Posted in General

Making your own hip hop beatsMany people have told me that they are interested in getting started making their own hip hop beats. Many of these people do not have an enormous budget to spend on various products or trips to the studio. Many of them wished there was a way to try out producing digital music and making hip hop beats and “get their feet wet” in a sense without making a big investment.

See, in the past, if you didn’t go to the studio, you’d have to buy desktop music production software. Programs like FL Studio, Reason, and Cubase just to name a few. The problem with these for beginners is A.) They’re never under $200 which negates that whole no big investment thing, and B.) they’re really technically dense and very hard for a beginner to learn.

Twitter: Splitting The Social Networking Audience In Two

| Posted in General

Social Media BandwagonTwitter takes a single feature of Facebook, the status function, and transforms it to an entire social network. Basically, people can create an account and post their statuses on their page. Many people have turned to Twitter for good reason. For one, Twitter is a lot safer than its Myspace and Facebook counterparts. There are no real personal information as there is with Facebook and Myspace. Twitter limits posts to 140 words per post. Because each post is so short, it makes it really easy to make a post from a cellphone or Blackberry. This portability makes Twitter quite popular; third in the world in fact, in terms of social networking. Twitter’s maximum post length also makes it a concise type of social networking tool. It also makes it a fast one, in a society where time is money. Other people can subscribe to your statuses, much like a magazine, and they will be able to see what you post. However, the added benefit is that they only see what you want them to. Unlike Myspace, Twitter doesn’t require any information about contact, address, and what not.
