MusicNomad provides the independent musician with thousands of organized resources to help produce, sell and support your music. Our organization tries to make sense of the vast and fragmented music industry through researching, interviewing, reviewing and ranking thousands of companies in the music industry and filtering the ones that can really help musicians. Whether it's finding a band rehearsal studio, a bandvan for your tour or the best ways to promote and market your music, we have the information to help you. We also have developed free, exclusive tools that allow you to save your favorite resources, make notes, and send email alerts for them. In addition, My TourManager is the only musician's tool anywhere that helps you quickly find local band resources for each tour stop. MusicNomad is where musicians go to find a home.
If you use premium credits, you can expect a decision within 48 hours. For a curator to earn your credits, they will need to listen to at least 20 seconds of your song, and if they don't like it they'll need to explain why. While 20 seconds might not seem like a lot, the average listening time by bloggers is actually close to 2 minutes.
If a curator decides that they like your song, they'll let you know when and how they plan to share it. You'll be able to chat with them about the release, and share any information you think they might need for their coverage. The current approval rate is $premium for premium submissions and $standard for standard submissions. While more than $shared songs have been approved and shared, the competition is fierce, and even the most-successful artists face their fair share of rejection. Still, it's much cheaper than hiring a publicist :)
Sometimes the feedback you receive when your song is declined will be useful. Other times it might not make sense. It's important to keep in mind that most curators are doing this as a hobby, and sometimes it's hard to find the perfect words for why they don't like a song. At the end of the day, music is about personal experiences, and what works for you won't work for everyone.
SubmitHub provides a complete set of features that make music discovery easy again. Whether you're a blogger, playlister, Record Label, or somewhere in between, you'll find the functionality you need. We've listed some highlights below, so if they sound like something you could use, we look forward to receiving your application :)
Music bloggers and playlisters have a lot of influence in the music industry. Major Labels and the editors at Spotify and Apple Music look to them for early tip-offs about the best new songs to feature, so picking up a few solid placements could mean the difference between getting 100 plays on your new song, or getting 100,000 plays.
When you submit your song, curators are asked to make a decision about whether they want to provide coverage or not. With premium credits, they have to respond within 48 hours, listen for at least 20 seconds, and give 10+ words of feedback if they choose not to share the song. Sometimes this feedback is useful. Other times it will leave you scratching your head. Just remember: music is subjective.
If you love to discover music but feel overwhelmed by the number of submissions you receive, SubmitHub is probably the right tool for you. We let you choose your genres, release-date preferences, song formats, and a whole lot more.
SubmitHub was founded in late 2015 as a way to make the process of sending music to curators as easy and transparent as possible. We give you all sorts of statistics and ways to filter who to send your music to so you can make sure your song ends up in the right hands. For curators, this means getting sent more music you'll actually like.
The process works well: more than $shared songs have been shared to date. But the competition is stiff, and even the most-successful artists can't please everyone. Music is subjective, and no two curators hear a song the same way. As such, SubmitHub is best used by individuals who have realistic expectations about what success in the music industry looks like in $year.
Philadelphia is a music-rich city and a trove of visual art, from graffiti pier to the Clothespin to our massive collection of Impressionists in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and at the Barnes Foundation. How do the music and art worlds speak to each other? In this series, Music+Art, we chat with hometown musicians about their favorite art works in Philadelphia.
I remember the time when I first built my humble home recording studio. I started off as a music arranger, but the thought of having my own recording studio and a space to work began itching in very quickly.
So I read all the best-selling books to building a home studio I could get my hands on and scoured the internet for almost every tip & trick I could get, to build a home recording studio. What are types of acoustic foam I could use? The construction of the entire room. Everything.
Composing and recording music in the small studio of mine was a dream came true. I loved every minute of it. Even my friends love visiting and hanging out at the studio. It was surreal, fun and most importantly, very inspiring to make music in.
I started taking my work outdoors. And work while I traveled to different places. The experiences I gain through the travels gave me a different thinking perspective and have added to the creativity of my music.
One of them is meeting new people who have the same interest. Often, you get to explore the different musical influence and styles people bring with them. That itself, would at a lot into your music arsenal.
Write down 6 things to do every day. (Only six!). I know music producers and folks, who often write a really long list of things to do and then completely fail to finish everything. After a while, they stopped the habit of writing a to-do list.
Other than that, when traveling, try not to waste too much time lazing around in the hotel. You may be there only once in your life, but be extremely careful of setting up your calendar for work and pleasure.
Exchange rates in different countries differ depending on where you officially stay. It is good to keep this in mind because if you are traveling to a country with a high exchange rate, you may want to plan how cash you want to spend, exchange and bring along.
In his book, Grant advises people to start taking more action rather than to downsize. When people are hit with financial difficulties or project setbacks, they often look to cut down expenses and start spending even more frugal.
The first thing you need to understand is that the rules of the music industry have changed. Drop the thinking of traditional music producers of the yesteryears. While musicians made some money by selling records on CDs, do you think CDs will still sell well in this era?
So understand that the industry has changed immensely and learn to adapt to it. This requires you to start thinking creatively about bringing in music projects, creating income flows and building sustainability.
This opens up a market for producers to go into composing game music, creating sound effects, recording Foley, voice-overs and doing sound design. Even prolific film composers such as Brian Tyler, have been actively composing music for games.
I found that with traveling, you can quickly get rusty at your music and technical playing proficiency. Using an online virtual piano keyboard keeps you close to the art, where you can quickly take down musical ideas or audition as you travel.
An app I sometimes use, to get a quick fix at improving my music & technical playing proficiency is OnlinePianist. It works on my iPhone, iPad, or laptop, and normally I find myself practicing and learning with it during long bus rides or flights. The idea here is to maximize your time as much as possible and try to have as little unproductive downtime as possible.
Are you already a traveling music producer or audio nomad yourself? Are you thinking of diving into it? If you are a traveling music producer/audio nomad yourself, what are your favorite things about traveling and what do you dislike about traveling?
The Nomad Music Foundation activates the love between musicians and fans to aid people in crisis around the globe by teaching empowerment through music, art, fellowship and cultural awareness. We deliver.
Joseph is a prolific and accomplished songwriter, writing hits for Widespread Panic and releasing 30 albums in his 30+ year career; as a solo artist, with the Jackmormons, supergroup Stockholm Syndrome, his burning two-piece The Denmark Veseys, or originally, with his beloved 80s cult band, Little Women.

To make each new signing a reality, and to continue to unearth and promote new talent on the European scene, alongside established artists.
NOMAD Music Festival is here to impact our generation by exposing people to a family-friendly music event. We seek to kindle the fire that is wholesome music and lasting joy. By promoting artists in the local area, we encourage musicians to continue in their craft & give them an outlet for growth.

You can't just browse the files like a removeable drive (at least on pre SP2 Windows XP) and even when you can by installing the plugin all of the files aren't organised properly. You'd be better off using Mediasource, Notmad or the Winamp plugin to transfer files back onto your hard drive.
In Mediasource (you should have got it with your Zen) if you just open up your Zen in one pane of the program and your PCs media Library in the other pane then its easy to transfer across. Or you could just use the sync function.
