I had an idea for a source that isn’t an online article, video, or text at all. I know an audio engineer and producer from home who rents out space for a recording studio. I thought about doing a half interview have documentary segment with him at his studio. I have several songs out on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, etc, that were recorded in his studio. I want to record some video footage of the experience to provide my audience with an inside look of the environment of a recording studio and what the process looks like. I’ll add this video to my website with a small written description as well. In terms of that will be in the video, I thought about having an artist record a song. I’ll be there to document it and I’ll have the engineer and artist answer some questions as well.
This next source is very informative, partly because of who the author is. I mentioned BMI, or Broadcast Music Inc., who is a performance rights organization. I found an article on their website entitled, “I Know I’ve Got a Great Song – Now What?” I read it through and some of the information is stuff I have already mentioned, but the bulk of it goes very in depth on publishing. Since this project is for school, I don’t want it to be just about the music side of things. The business side of the music making process is not only important, but relevant to my major, so I think this is a great source to use. This article discusses publishing companies as well as what a professional publisher does.
