welcome to the forum

sorry it took a wile to reply

thanks alot thinking, you are a dubstep industry genius, big up.

when labels sell digital versions of a vinyl release, do they pay for them to be re-mastered for digital?

Or do they upload the origional mastered audio files even though really they have been mastered for vinyl?

maybe the big labels re-master and the small labels upload the vinyl master to the ...

what happend?

why is it there is only a handfull of dj's and producers that i like now compeard 2 4 years ago when i almost loved everything about ????



people on this forum are full ov shit sometimes, some people really have not got a clue of the difference 2 hype and real good electronic music ...

A good DJ is not just somebody who can represent something they believe to be good but also somebody who has as broad a horizon of good music so that they can adapt and entertain any crowd, no matter how diverse or discerning.

this is either ridiculous or genius!!

so if u for some reason you got ...

if a label signs a tune from an artist, I think it would be wrong of them to "road test" the tune for a year or more and then if there is not hype just cancel the release with artist.

you're wrong. there's so many examples over the years of tunes that have taken more than a year from TP to ...

no need to shout, i can see it just fine

i suppose at the end of the day all a promo is, is a record ment for promotional purposes, wether its sold or given away.

so it doesnt really matter how the labels decide to go about this, maybe its often any one of the methods mentioned depending on the label.

I would think that a lot of the white label promos you can get are basically just test presses in higher quantities as Thinking pointed out already.
I think hardly anyone in dubstep presses more than 1000 copies of a 12" (except the more reputed artists like Skream or Benga maybe), so I don't see ...

in order to press a small enough number to put out as promos you would surely have to have a very good relationship with the plant or do the distributers sort this out if there doing a pnd with the label?

if ur paying for the mastering and metalwork then u would have to press at least 250 - 350 ...

Part of the cost of mastering in most cases is going to include either ...
