JPF Home Page Forums General Messages General Message Forum When I do my album...

Suddenly the bucket list isn't quite as monumental as before sure, unless I had a band all playing a live take in studio.

I haven't even switched to suno yet, the covers if my own ideas, guitar, keys, and a capella songs I never harmonized.

I want to document the process. Shom how it was done, if udio gave me musical ideas will say so, mostly I wanna do my own ideas snd use Ai as a band and producer.

It will likely take me till next suoerboel, not this one to complete.

But im going to dedicate myself to doing it, not much happeninf here, actually this is probably stopping me from working in it.

Hope others have pl a ns for 2026 too

I expect tiu all to buy it....

Jesus I sure bought my share of albums here,

Later

11k to do a album , cds don't sell, Well some . but not enough to ROI. on here ? ridiculous . Promotion net possible

Nobody buys music any more, springsteens anti ice song sold 16k in first week making it number one. Thats big sales these days.
I agreed eith the sentiment till I saw how wreckless the guy was, spitting st cars and kicking in headlights.

I get it, people don't like being pushed around, and fight for what's right, but that's bot peaceful protesting.

Thats why I don't write political, so easy to get it wrong.

But I jest about selling it, that's not in the cards

This has nothing to do with political songs , Yes fans will buy them , I did it . Tuff to ROI though

I thi k it does, cause people who identify with it, feel a part of it if they buy it, im sure he's giving proceeds to charity.

Only massive pop stars can sell music today, even legends of yesterday can't
Album is a promotional piece to go make money on tour.

For me, its just something I always wanted to do

Whatever , Then do it , 11k out the door at 800 per song , add whatever for cd costs , rest promotion costs

No, that's why we have ai to be our session musicians and producer.

Naturally it be foolish to spend 20k o. Album nobody will buy

Think trick is to have a unified sound and style so that it doesn't sound like 10 or 12 unrelated songs.

Singing them all myself should help, snd when I choose sound, hot stick with it fir all tunes...

As if anybody gives a [naughty word removed], but I do,

oh AI tracks , Well studio time ,maybe 10 hours to sing them , harmony , might need some singers , 150 a song. Figure 1000 to mix it all , if your lucky

1800 singers . 1000 mix cheap studio at 50 bucks a hour 500 , 12 songs. Lets make it 4000.00 out the door using AI tracks

No cds no album , Just Qand R code cards , they scan goes straight to their phone to play , give to whoever. Keep 10 in your wallet , talk to strangers give them a card , Use art work on the card , Use Stage name , whatever ya like. put email on card , ya never know , they might email , not bad buddy

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a 2D barcode, a square grid of black and white pixels, that stores information like URLs, text, or contact details for rapid reading by smartphone cameras, connecting physical items to digital content instantly. While "Q-code" usually refers to three-letter codes used in amateur radio (like QTH for location) to signal status. Works for songs , I know

Good advice, Ben.

One week project , 4 days to get cards . Done deal accomplished goal

yeah, when i say album I mean a collection of songs, not any particular format like cd or app. however they do it now is what 0Ill roll with.

Maybe ill go all vinyl.....

Pricey to make Vinal , why bother you aint selling them.. cards are 30 bucks , give them away. cost you a 1000.00 to sit in your garage 100 minium order
Let's do the logistics , sing one a day . 3 hour top in studio .2 reasons , You've never been in a studio . You'll be nervous , 2 , it's not as easy as you think , You'll be drained at 3 hours . So 12 days . So thats a good plan .
