Portland, OR (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Over the past decade, independent artists have earned significant income from traditional licensing opportunities in TV and film, but with YouTube quickly becoming the most popular online music-discovery platform, there are countless opportunities to license music on a much smaller scale.

“Sure, you can make a bundle by getting placement in a feature film,? said CD Baby president Brian Felsen, ?but you also can make money by getting your song in 500 home movies of cats doing cartwheels. We are giving independent artists the opportunity to do both. The equivalent of 9 years of video is uploaded to YouTube everyday. That’s a lot of video, and most of it could benefit from including some great independent music.”

CD Baby Sync Licensing, which launches today, is powered by Portland-based Rumblefish, a leader in the music licensing industry. The program is free to all CD Baby members. Artists can choose to opt in (or opt out) at anytime.

“CD Baby has always been a leader in independent music, and we’re humbled to plug their amazing catalog into the worlds of social media and traditional sync licensing,” said Rumblefish Founder and CEO Paul Anthony. “The opportunities in sync licensing have never been bigger.?

In addition to being marketed for use in TV, movies and games, CD Baby artists? music will be included in a database of songs that YouTube allows video-makers to choose from in their YouTube accounts.

“So if you or I upload a video of our birthday party or camping trip,? said Felsen, ?YouTube will allow us to throw some music in the background with just a few clicks. You don’t even have to edit the video – it’s built into YouTube. When a CD Baby artist’s music is used, then that artist gets paid. If the video goes viral, the artist gets paid a lot.?

YouTube also will analyze and identify videos that contain CD Baby music prior to upload and pay royalties on those tracks as well. Artists will even get paid for the videos they upload themselves.

?We’re really excited about this new sync licensing partnership,? said Felsen, ?as it opens up new revenue streams for independent artists. Millions of people are watching music videos – and videos that feature music – on YouTube every day. Now artists will get paid for it.?

Artists can sign up for CD Baby Distribution and Sync Licensing here

ANAHEIM, Calif. (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Line 6, Inc. (NAMM room 212A/B) proudly introduces StageSource L3t. The new StageSource loudspeaker systems are built on a powerful new technology platform that enables a single enclosure to provide best-of-class performance in multiple live sound functions.

StageSource L3t is the most flexible loudspeaker available for musicians. Using six innovative Smart Speaker modes, the L3t optimizes its output for a variety of performance scenarios: front-of-house PA, floor monitor, personal PA, keyboard and acoustic guitar backline or with Line 6 POD? multi-effect processors as a high-performance electric guitar speaker system. Smart Speaker modes are set automatically via built-in orientation sensors that detect whether the speaker has been pole-mounted or tilted for use as a monitor.

A compact, full-range three-way speaker system, the StageSource L3t tri-amped design delivers 1,400 watts of balanced, clean and articulate audio through dual 10-inch woofers and a horn-loaded, one-inch, exit-compression driver that combine to deliver a powerful 132 dB maximum SPL. A precision-engineered 100×50 degree constant-directivity waveguide delivers consistent coverage throughout its entire frequency range and optimal dispersal throughout the audience area, wide enough for solo use yet controlled enough for arrayed pairs. The narrow vertical pattern ensures minimal energy is reflected off the ceilings and floors.

?Our new powered speakers were designed to meet the performance needs of all musicians and sound great in every scenario, from solo performances in a coffee shop through to full-on rock shows,? says Simon Jones, vice president of new market development at Line 6. ?StageSource L3t goes way beyond the capabilities of a standard powered loudspeaker, offering advanced DSP, smart design and true scalability with L6 LINK? digital networking.?

For the solo performer or duo the StageSource L3t is a simple, powerful and compact integrated live sound solution. Used as a standalone PA system, performers can benefit from a feature set designed to cover all their needs, including a built-in mixer with two mic/instrument inputs, full three-band EQ with sweepable mid, Smart Effects (modulation and reverb), Line 6 acoustic guitar modeling, which improves the output signal of an acoustic guitar outfitted with piezo pickups, and 12-band feedback suppression technology.

For larger bands, live sound events or houses of worship, StageSource L3t can be configured into full front-of-house and monitor systems. Connected via L6 LINK, the proprietary Line 6 networking protocol, StageSource L3t speakers automatically detect each other and adjust their settings accordingly. Used in a system with StageSource L3s subwoofers, crossovers and levels are automatically set for best performance.

When connected via L6 LINK, StageSource speakers and the StageScape M20d digital mixer are capable of unparalleled power and flexibility. Together they redefine the typical mixer-speaker paradigm to introduce a smarter live sound experience in which the live rig is a complete, intelligent eco-system rather than merely a linear combination of components.

StageSource L3t features heavy-duty plywood construction, durable fitments, a steel grille with a protective screen backing and four M10 suspension points and a pull-back for install scenarios.

?Line 6 recognized that it?s a challenge for the performing musician to choose the perfect high-performance loudspeaker system. Over the course of their career, a musician may play many styles of music, using multiple instruments and play many different sized venues,? Jones said. ?The scalability, integrated feature set and sound quality of StageSource loudspeaker systems meet that challenge, delivering a high-performance speaker for every musician?s entire career.?

Napa California-based music education technology company ArtistWorks has opened the ArtistWorks Drum Academy today with the launch of online drum schools from two of the world?s top drummers: world-renowned fusion and jazz drumming legend Billy Cobham and rock drumming superstar Thomas Lang.

The Thomas Lang School of Drums and the Billy Cobham School of Drums contain hundreds of high-quality video drumming lessons that start at a fundamental level of how to play drums and gradually progress to the advanced level.

Cobham, along with John McLaughlin, Rick Laird and Jan Hammer is a founding member of the famed Mahavishnu Orchestra. Cobham has performed, recorded, and produced at the World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) with Peter Gabriel and currently serves as an Official Patron of WOMAD. With his legendary drumming style that combines exacting precision and explosive power, Cobham is generally considered to be jazz-fusion?s greatest and most influential drummer.

?I?m very pleased that I now have the ability to work with so many students in such a unique and fun way,? says Cobham. ?Students support each other while everyone explores all of the lessons. There is an environment of camaraderie and unity that is essential to learning. This is incredibly exciting.?- Billy Cobham

The Thomas Lang School of Drums and the Billy Cobham School of Drums debuts December 8th and are open to drummers of all levels of proficiency. The Luis Conte School of Percussion will be added in 2012. Student membership plans are reasonably priced per school at $ 90.00 for 3 months, $ 150.00 for 6 months, and $ 240.00 for a 12-month subscription.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

The International Songwriting Competition (ISC), one of the world’s largest songwriting competitions, has launched?Unsigned Only,?a new, unique international music competition. Designed for solo artists, bands, and singers who are not signed to a major?record?label, Unsigned Only’s goal is to find an outstanding, talented performing artist: a band, singer, or solo artist…a newcomer or veteran…raw or polished – the ?gem? that needs to be discovered. Unsigned Only is looking for the total package.?Judging criteria includes vocals,?performance, songwriting, and?originality.

Completely separate and distinct from ISC, Unsigned Only is a fresh and novel approach to other music competitions. Not only does it offer great prizes, recognition, exposure, and the chance to be heard by a group of judges consisting of high-profile recording artists and industry professionals, but it also takes it a step further and puts the Grand Prize winner in direct, personal contact with the influential record label executives who are the ultimate decision makers. For the first time ever, a music competition offers the Grand Prize winner the unprecedented opportunity to be mentored by a group of record company presidents, A&R reps, and more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for an artist to directly network with the top echelon of record company professionals and get guidance, advice, feedback, and networking opportunities.

The founders of Unsigned Only,?Jim Morgan and?Candace Avery, talk about the new venture: “We are pleased to introduce a new music competition of this caliber to artists throughout the world. Having worked with a wide variety of artists over many years, we know that what artists want?most?is access to record label professionals. However, it is virtually impossible for?most up-and-coming artists to have direct access to this elite and elusive group of decision makers.?So, Unsigned Only is offering the unprecedented opportunity for the Grand Prize winner to network with and be mentored by a prestigious group of record label executives. This has never been done before, and we are excited about the possibilities it affords the Unsigned Only winner.”

The judging panel is comprised of an impressive group of recording artists, producers, and top-level music journalists. They include:?3 Doors Down;?Manchester Orchestra;?Cyndi Lauper;?Robert Smith (The Cure); Jeremy Camp; Craig Morgan; Kelly Clarkson; Steve Lillywhite (Producer); Matt and Kim; St. Vincent; The Mountain Goats; Josh Jackson (Co-Founder and Editor-In-Chief, Paste Magazine); Scott Lapatine (Founder,?Stereogum); ?and more to be announced.

The panel of mentors who have signed on to participate is equally impressive. Included are: Monte Lipman (President of Universal Republic); Pete Ganbarg (Executive Vice President/Head of A&R, Atlantic Records); David Wolter (Senior VP of A&R, RCA Records); Kim Stephens (President, Forward Entertainment and A&R/Capitol Music Group); Trevor Jerideau (VP of A&R, J Records); David Wilkes (VP of A&R, eOne Music); Pete Giberga (Head of A&R, Razor & Tie Records); Jason Geter (President, Grand Hustle Records); and more to be announced.

The Grand Prize Winner will be awarded $ 5,000 in cash (plus additional prizes) and one-on-one mentoring by an elite group of record company executives. First Place and Second Place winners will also be selected in each category. Entries are being accepted now until March 5, 2012. ?Winners will be announced in July, 2012.?Categories include:?AAA (Adult Album Alternative),?AC (Adult Contemporary),?Christian Music, Country,?Folk/Singer-Songwriter,?R&B/Hip-Hop, Rock,?Pop/Top 40, and?Vocal Performance.

All entries must be original music except for the Vocal Performance category which accepts original or cover songs.
