This one’s on Muso.AI, a credits database harvesting app/web site Here’s the link https://all-about-music.ghost.io/muso-ai-a-scam/.
For indie musicians, it doesn’t seem to be a good fit, as IDK what they bring to the table. I mean, if you’ve ever been played by someone trying to cut you out of a musical composition, IDK what Muso.AI is help with a situation like that.
It’s a piece of premium content at https://all-about-music.ghost.io that kinda is a dry review of Spotify’s finances and reasons to direct your fans to other platforms.
It’s my method to see if I can get some subscribers to a slighthly different take on the music business from this blog. And monetize it as my other means of making some bucks are falling on hard times.
Haven’t figured out how Ghost as a blog/newsletter platform works, but I guess it’s a learning experience.
Well, I seemed to have fried the outputs from the Clavinova. Nothing but a low hum eminates from the 2 sets of outputs I’ve tried. Bummer.
I just dropped a new tune, “Guitar Explorations 250802” on Mirlo.space and am working to put it on Bandcamp. I hooked up a Fender guitar,that’s one of my favorites, to the pedal board shown and then to a Fender Twin Reverb thru the Vibrato section. Recorded on my trusty Zoom H8 and processed on my iPhone using the AUM app.
Anyway, the tune, should you be interested in listening to it, is to be found at https://mirlo.space/jaypeach53/releases and https://jaypeach.bandcamp.com
Finally got the whole EP loaded to Mirlo.space the link is https://mirlo.space/jaypeach53/releases to my whole catalog there. The new release is called “Noise Revisited”. Preview the songs or buy outright, whichever you like.
I’ve started another blog at https://all-about-music.ghost.io to cover slightly different topics than I cover here. I’ll also be posting more frequently there. Like this WordPress blog there’s no subscription fee to read most posts, though I’m hoping if you find the content useful that you’ll opt for one of the paying tiers.
The one big difference is that when you subscribe, either here or on all about music, you get emailed to you a copy of all posts, so you may not want more cruft in your mailbox.
I finally got around to hooking up the RCA plugs which are the only output jacks on the Clavinova CVP-50. Next step was to connect it up to the Zoom H8 portable digital recorder to see if the RCA plugs were connected to the right connectors on the Clavinova. At this point, the recorder was showing signal from the Clavinova when I started the Clavinova to play some music.
So I turned on the recorder to record something and it worked! I think the recorder to connected up AUX jacks on the Clavinova, though I don’t know whether I’ve got the right and left jacks connected up correctly, because there is a difference in the signals from the Clavinova. Gotta find a mirror to look at the connectors on the Clavinova because what I’m using as a reference is the French section of the user’s manual and the section with a description of the connectors is quite small and not detailed enough.
For new viewers, here’s a site you might want to visit: https://linktr.ee/jaypeach53. It’s got links to my music and other sites that might be of interest.
Well, I got back on InstaGram in a very limited way. I’m using IG to post promotions of my music as the Apple Music promotions seem to get 30-40 clicks a month. Not much, but apparently IG has stopped shadowbanning me, at least for some content, as 30% of views I get are from non-followers. Still facing the reality that IG deals in sex discrimination, as 80% of my viewers are male.
Another bothersome reality is that IG stories are not getting any views. As of today, I’ve posted 44 pieces of content to IG (mostly stories) and only 14 of them got any views.
Heres’s some stats:
I keep reading that the way to make money off the music biz nowadays is to put your music on platforms like Mirlo and BandCamp to get fans to purchase your music instead of streaming your music from some DSP for hundreds and hundreds less money. Admittedly, this makes sense other than the market for platforms like Mirlo and BandCamp is minimal compared to the DSPs. After all, I’ve been on BandCamp for almost 5 years and have plays totaling less than one days plays on 5-6 DSPs.
