Is this thing free or not? If not how much does it cost???

My father taught me that nothing is free. Whatever this 'Free' thing you are referring to, it is probably covered by my fathers wise words...

Universal Downloads

Posted by quietman303 on Fri, 02/28/2003 - 16:08.

What does everyone think about the steps that are being taken by the major labels to make music available for downloading? I am interning at Universal, and I know they have made songs available for downloading. You can check it out at www.umgdownloads.com and see if there are any songs you are interested in. They use Liquid Audio instead of MP3's, which they say sounds better. What are your opinions on the subject?

The Majors' downloading services are doomed to failure...

None of them can offer a complete catalog in the same
sense that a CD retailer can due to a combination of
their inability to agree on business approaches, and
also Anti Trust legal issues.

A solution would be to license their music to completely
independent third parties, however none of the majors
have shown any indication that they will do this.

There are other potential options, but it's going to
take a major facing insolvency whilst being blocked
from competitor merger to embolden a board of directors
sufficiently - EMI may be the only hope.

Essentially Major's have to consider the idea that
copyright is not their primary asset, and only a
desperate group of shareholders will allow a board
to take that view without stockholder lawsuits.

The music industry has ruined good music's chance of being heard by the masses. They make available what represents easy pickings for them. I am eagely awaiting their demise..

Hey genius... ever thought that if the "big bad" record company didn't make a star out of your favourite artist, then perhaps you would never have heard of them?

Don't you think that when a "Britney Spears" sells out a stadium it's because a record label invested a pile of money to make her a star? This investment needs to be paid back (just like a mortgage - but I don't see people complaining that their house should be free)?

Artists make their money on touring (and a crap load of it too) and on merchandise sales. Record labels invest the money to make the record, video, promotion, marketing, tour support, etc. to build this star to a level that they can make money touring. The record label gets its money from the album sales only as repayment.

So if no label is going to invest in future stars, do you think the internet alone will drive enough attention for a person to be able to AFFORD to tour the world and play their music... and make money selling merch?

Just like the banks... if they didn't give you the $300,000 loan, how the hell would you afford a house to live in and pay back the loan?

The problem with people today is that they're ignorant to how a business opperates and it's sad that these people are given a public forum to speak their mind about somehting they know nothing about.

So go on, wish the demise of the record label... because then there won't be any music left for you to download for free.

Things cost money and people get paid, that's life 101. Do hockey players deserve millions of dollars a year? Probably not, but it doesn't stop the ACC from selling out every night. Does a Ferrari cost $500,000 to make? Probably not, but people aren't allowed to steal them just because they're expensive and they don't have the money for them.

Learn a little about business (especially the music business) before you open your mouth with stupid comments like "I can't wait for their demise". Perhaps we'll see you on the other side one day... when the company and industry that you love

changing keys on a cd audio file

Posted by Diane Fry on Fri, 02/28/2003 - 13:55.

Is there any software that will let you change the key of an audio file ripped from a music cd (say,from the key of C to key of D, etc.)and then save this change in the file? I don't mean just changing pitch of the vocals to correct singing off-key, I mean lowering or raising pitch of all instrumentation/vocals to any desired key.

Diane,
I am interested in this too - I`ve asked
loads of people in the music hi tech world & no one seem to understand ! Pitch
shifters will change the key by altering the tempo & can lead to chip munk type
sounds.
Just about every piece of software has been suggested to me
ie.,Steinberg Wavlab, Acid Music(Sonic Foundry)etc.,but no one is sure. This
stuff costs big quids & you take a chance if you buy it & it doesn`t do the job.
What you probably want is something that will change the key of the track - to
suit your voice - then burn it back to a CDR in the corrected key to use live .
Every time I ask it`s midi file this & re sample that. I`m still looking & if I
find it I`ll let you know ! Please do likewise if you get there first
!

Regards,

Colin

You could Pitch Shift it which is the process of playing it slower/faster. Harmonisers will do this.

A nice site to show you how. Has helpful programs.
