Kangaroo Bookings is scam or legit?

Hello everyone, today I feel obliged to create this post. A few months ago I told you about a new agency called Kangaroo Bookings here:  Kangaroo Bookings . I have received hundreds of messages regarding this, so this entry is for you guys ;) The first thing that you have asked is if I belong to this agency . The answer is yes, I am an artist who is affiliated with this agency, since its inception, in fact it was my friend Robert who advised me to join the new agency. Did you pay to join the agency? no, I have paid absolutely nothing, nor have I been paid to write anything. I am a person who believes in collaborations and avoid using money. Another one of the questions that most have made me guys, is: is this a scam ? From my experience I can assure you that it is not. I've never paid to belong to an agency, so it's impossible for me to be ripped off. I have read the kangaroobookings FAQ and it explains its operation and mode of entry. I have seen that some confuse the p

The importance of a drum machine

A drum machine is an electronic musical instrument designed to imitate the sound of drums, cymbals, other percussion instruments and often basslines. Drum machines are most commonly associated with electronic music genres such as house music, but are also used in many other genres. They are usually used when session drummers are not available or if the production cannot afford the cost of a drummer. Also, many modern drum machines can also produce unique sounds, as well as allowing the user to compose unique drum beats and patterns that might be difficult to perform by a human drummer. Most modern drum machines are sequencers with a sample playback (rompler) or synthesizer component that specializes in the reproduction of drum timbres. If you’re starting out in production and you want to make dance music, a drum machine will likely be the first thing you buy once you’ve grown out of drawing patterns into the sequencer of your DAW. You don’t need a drum machine, but it’s unlikely

Hello everybody, today we are going to talk about an important part in the life of a musical artist. Be featured in events, gigs and performances. It is often complicated and stressful to have to compose, record, sell your music and deal with event organizers to be hired as artist. The truth is that this is a recurring theme between the musicians from the world of music. Today I want to tell you about a french agency that manages reservations. It should be noted that the agency works internationally. http://kangaroobookings.com In its web page you can find its policies, terms and conditions: http://kangaroobookings.com/faq For those who do not like reading, I summarize it with these four points: Travel and accommodation costs are fully covered by the organizer. 10% commission for the reservations they get for you. There are two forms of entry: public profile and mail address (under the payment of a $35 bail) or free of charge (no verified profile or mailing address).

What does a music producer do, anyway ?

The term ‘music producer’ means different things to different people. Some are musicians, some are engineers, some are remixers. So what does a music producer actually  do ? In very pragmatic terms, the producer is a ‘project manager’ for the recording, mixing and mastering process. She has an overall vision for the music, the sound and the goals of the project, and brings a unique perspective to inspire, assist and sometimes provoke the artists. The producer should make the record more than the sum of it’s parts – you could almost say she is trying to create  musical alchemy . Every producer brings different skills and a different approach, and this can make what they do difficult to summarise. In this post I’ve identified seven distinct types of record producer to try and make this clearer. 1. The Engineer This is probably most people’s stereotypical idea of the “classic” record producer – hunched over a mixing desk, obsessing about compression settings, reverb tail
