Becoming a musician is a hard but beautiful metamorphosing stage, from the moment you grab for the very first time your instrument and you spend hours, days. weeks, months, years and decades to become a good player, writer or composer, until the moment you decide to take your artwork and perform it infront of others. We musicians learn by making BIG mistakes, by bumping into diverse musical directions, opinions, burocracy, financial difficulties and also learning the hard way you also have rights as a musician.
We really hope that this online survival manual for musicians and bands makes the understanding of the music business easier for you in Munich. We would also try to bring you the understanding of basic concepts such as what is: a producer, manager, what are a record labels, the process of recording effectively, editing, mixing and mastering, also the importance of distributing, marketing your music and learning about author rights, how to earn a living from your artwork, and your rights as a musicians.
This can only be achieved by interviewing people that went through this rough process, the idea is musicians giving other musicians words of advice, people writing or sharing articles, ideas but mostly staying as a tight community of musicians regardless of your musical taste or instrument. We would really like to feel this forum as yours, through your ideas and colaboration we will transform it into something useful for other musicians.
