Great article! People take the time to hone their craft, but very few of them take the time to actually find out exactly what steps they need to take to get to that next level! This article helps those people out so very much! I look forward to more articles from you!

Man, I can’t thank you enough for this info. I have been toying around with home recordings and what not and you’ve inspired me to do it right. Bookmarked!

Great post! It’s all about being “indie” in the current industry, and with modern technology, it’s easier now than ever to create quality work independently. This is a great resource for musicians and I look forward to recommending it to other like-minded musicians! All the best!!

Thanks a million. This is actually the first page that comes up with sensible advice on what to do. I’ve done quite a lot of the steps so far and hopefully in a few months I will be able to release my first studio album. Thanks again! Armando Ruiz Martinez

Good info…but I think you may end up getting ripped off if you just go with the first mastering guy you find. Typically these ‘quick fix’ mastering guru’s have a multi-band compressor that simply crush the audio to achieve maximum loudness. Proper mastering services will manually boost frequencies to fill out a mix and THEN bring up levels to a commercial standard, vs just smashing dynamics and making things loud. John Scrip has some fantastic reading on his blog. http://www.massivemastering.com/blog/html/blog_files/My_Mixes_Are_Too_Quiet.php

Good article but one comment – PR that only points to a link where the music can be heard suggests that the publication already has some notion about who the artist is. We could spend all day doing nothing but listening to music we aren’t interested in. Time is money and we spend ours careful. A physical CD has a better chance of being listened to.
