Can artists from different record labels “work together”?
Like can they be in a song together?
for ex. would Demi Lovato and beyonce be able to create a song together even though demi is from hollywood records and beyonce is from columbia records?
What is a typical work day like, for a recording artist?
How long do they work, and where do they work?
Do DJ,s have to have their music on vinyl records or will cd’s work?
because the turntables look like you can only use vinyl records
How do I become an A&R rep./talent scout or work in the artist development dept. for a record label company?
I want to eventually be in the music business. My dream job would be to become an A&R representative for a record label company, maybe even a president of one someday. Other possibilities would be tour manager, band manager, an advertising or marketing position within a record label company/music magazine company/music television company/etc.. I’ve also heard of a position in an area known as the artist development department in which you help market new artists/bands. Are there any specific schools out there somewhere which are well known for their music business programs? One record label company which I could really see myself working for would be Solid State Records. HM magazine would also be sweet to work for. I know that some schools specifically have “music business” programs/majors. To me this would seem like the best way to go. I just need to know if anyone knows which schools would provide me with the best results in education, environment, and then job placement.
I cannot comprehend how vinyl records work?
I understand that sounds leave grooves on the vinyl, but how do those grooves translate into different sounds?
Moreover, how the hell can you have stereo sound with vinyl? I would understand if there were two needles following two different paths, each arm leading to a different speaker, but that’s not the case.
Why don’t young people want their “favorite” recording artists to be actually paid for their work?
I ask this question on account of the flood of “free music download” questions that appear every day.
An artist records a new song
If 500 copies are sold, the singer makes a small anount of money
If 5,000 copies are sold, the singer makes a worthwhile amount of money
If 50,000 copies are sold, the singer is beginning to get rich
If people download the song for free, each download is a lost sale and the singer makes nothing.
A singer friend of mine recently released her second CD.
She had to pay for studio time, she had to pay musicians and she had to pay backing singers. In addition she had to pay for manufacture, distribution and promotion of the CD. All this cost $22,000.
It is an investment. Think how many copies she has to sell simply to get her $22,000 back. Only after sales have produced revenue of $22,000 does she actually begin making money for herself (to live on).
Legitimate download sites pay mandatory fees – part of which gets back to the artist. The $1 per track charged simply reimburses the site for the fees it has paid out to handle the music, and perhaps a little profit to keep the site itself going.
Why are young people so reluctant to pay their buck for a song that the artist has spent so much time and money on creating?

How does it work when an artist gets signed to a record label?
What does the producer do for the artist? What does the artist have to do, still write their own songs, or does the record label write your songs, what about the beats, money deals?
How often do recording artists get to keep copies of the work they have recorded?
For instance, when a singer or band go into the studio to record, is it entirely down to the record company, the producer(s), or is it standard practice that the artist themselves will retain demo tapes or even pressed copies of the music? I recently obtained a rare cd by the UK group Saint Etienne, of cuts taken from old demo recordings and unreleased tracks. Is it unusual that a band are able to keep hold of such recordings, or do they generally have to purchase copies like the average punter?
