Fruityloops

 

 [excerpt review c/o http://www.computermusic.co.uk/]

FruityLoops 3 looks to be one of the most radical free music software upgrades we've ever seen. The asking price for the full version has even dropped from $129 to $99

FruityLoops has always been a popular choice with desktop musicians; its intuitive interface and unrivalled parameter tweaking have earned it the reputation of being one of the best loop creation tools available. This was a reputation we found difficult to disagree with, and we duly awarded FruityLoops 2 our Ultimate Buy award in issue 18.

Who/What are we?

CD Baby is a little online record store that sells CDs by independent musicians.

We're just a few people (details here) in a cool Portland, Oregon, CD warehouse that looks like a playground. We listen to every CD we sell before we sell it, so we can help you find other albums you'll like.

We only sell CDs that come directly from the musicians. No distributors. Musicians send us CDs. We warehouse them, sell them to you, and pay the musicians directly.

Cool thing: in a regular record deal or distribution deal, musicians only make $1-$2 per CD, if they ever get paid by their label. When selling through CD Baby, musicians make $6-$12 per CD, and get paid weekly.

In business, and thriving, since March 1998. We're the largest seller of independent CDs on the web.

Dig Your Roots

 

Dig Your Roots

Dig Your Roots is all about developing and promoting new Canadian music from the four corners of this culturally diverse and musically rich country. It is an exploration of independent talent from the Canadian underground. Its scope is wide ranging and focuses on original forms of music that are currently under-represented in the Canadian music scene.

Sponsored by
Corus Entertainment Inc., the NCRA/ANREC will produce a series of genre-specific compilations that will coincide with live concert simulcast broadcasts. For each compilation, there will be:


a nation-wide call for submissions

an online promotion involving artist MP3s

an esteemed panel to choose the compilation artists

a nation-wide "tour" of the compilation. Rather than artists going out on the road, this tour will actually involve live coast-to-coast broadcasts of regional concerts on radio stations across the country.
