New Music Industry

Bitcoin helps sell music and dance music. Bitcoin also helps to get into the NFTs gaming. NFTs will be sold through “Crypto.com” marketplace. 

AmazeVr is giving fans a new experience for virtual concerts. Due to the pandemic many music venues were shut down for protocol. Now fans get to see their favorite artists perform up close as if they were in person. This also allow performers to do what they love without taking a break because of Covid-19. Although attending concerts are better in my opinion, I think this is a great alternative.

Musically.com shares  credible source on music and technology updates for everyone.

This was a shorter article but I liked how it was straight to the point. It has insight on the product and how it was planning to expand.

This is another credible source with story having the dates and author credited. The great part about the information is that it was current with the way live shows were going to evolve with technology.

360 Reality Audio is sounding more like the new hot toy on the audio production market. Giving its users that surround sound experience that turns the most basic sounds into a more organic feel to its.   

Trying to get JAY-Z to join team Square in my opinion is a big power move. Because JAZ-Z to me is like the monopoly man he owns two corners with three hotels and 12 houses on his street lol. What I'm trying to say is Jay is a businessman and if Square wants to get Jay to their side they'll have to bring some heats and a excellent offer. 

TIDAL board member and shareholder Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter is expected to join Square’s Board of Directors subject to the closing of the transaction.

In addition to Jay-Z, all of TIDAL’s artist shareholders will continue to be co-owners of TIDAL after the deal closes.

Square, the company led by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, is buying Tidal, the music service led by rapper Jay-Z. Dorsey says he is buying Tidal to find new ways for artist to make money. ... Artists make money from streaming services when lots of people use a service and listen to their music.

I liked how this was arranged as an article. The point was clear and the content was explained well. 

In this article it was straight to the point and concise. The subject was absolutely objective and there were no alterior motives suggested. The writers and dates were listed in a viewable space on the story as well.

Joshua White Insight: 

Spotify is a good music streaming app and it seems like a lot of artists have been making a great amount of income on Spotify. They plan on adding better things to it in the future. 

*In my opinion I think Spotify will recognize all of those different abilities and allow the creator to find the best ways to monetize their fan base based on both their ability. They also try to take advantage when artists want to drop a lot of music.

    Never knew that The BluePrint Group was responsible for such major roll in the music industry. I suppose the movement overall. They have a variety of talented artist, a great distribution company, as well as great management consultants. With the recent partnership with Tsu inc, one if not the best venture backed social commerce that launched in 2019. Currency that is made goes to independent artist, musicians, and many other big names as well. We are thankful to have a platform like this. One day I hope to be apart of a wonderful entertainment industry as such. We would do great business. 

Tsu Inc. is a private, venture backed social commerce that launched in 2019. The purpose is to expand media presence while developing another source of income since in-person events have been canceled for over a year. The source is reliable and published by an award-winning journalist with over 15 years of experience. Forbes is a major informational resource for audio industry professionals.

This article from Forbes details a new company that assist artists with distribution and artist management. Working with big names like G-Eazy, T.I. and Lil Nas X, the company allows you to have another stream of income as an artist. I especially like this business model because the company boosted its 50% award to 100% in result of the pandemic, which really shows that they are looking out for their artists. They also allow a social universe option which allows the artist to take complete full ownership of the content that they create which puts reward and everything back in the artist's control. 

Using the sources guide, I can tell that this article is reliable because it is fairly new, it is shown as being posted on Feb 15 of 2021. Also, it is from a reputable source from Forbes magazine, which is a well-know company in the entertainment industry. 

I do believe that this source could be used as a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. As mentioned, this is a well known company in the entertainment industry. On one side, one may argue or begin to feel that there are too many of these platforms coming out and that this would just be another platform to fail or not see out it's full potential. On the other side, this may be the platform that an artist is waiting for. They may be able to get on this platform and catch their big break or meet another artist and create some good music. 

I recently was hearing about this new wave of music coming out of different regions of the world I don't have to much information about it but I do know this store is basically what I heard from "NO Jumper"

- MelodyVR officially decides to rebrand as Napster starting off 2021 on the right foot, getting a swiss investment from a firm called "Nice & Green," they announced the merge as well as the launch of a new Napster mobile app to take on current streaming services.

- The article was written by Andre Paine of musicweek.com, this entry appears to be confirmed as multiple articles can be found declaring the same. 

I hate how you only get the recognition you deserved when you pass. Producers and artist are some of most intense artist, painting a visual with no words of pictures. 

Copyrights at its fullest potential for artist. This will allow for more than just intangible proceeds for the artist. 

My first scoop it posts lol can you tell I'm new?

This article is about a fairly new streaming company which allows independent artists to not only stream their music but also to sell merch and tickets to their performances as well. Billie Ellish's used this service for her 'Where Do We Go? Livestream' in October of last year, she sold tickets for $30 each. I think this service is great for up and coming artists, it gives them the opportunity to have a shop for everything they need all in one place. I especially like the options for artists to host their own live events. It really helps put the artist in control of their career.  

This article does follow the currency portion of the source guide, stating that if an article is old and outdated you should be skeptical about its reliability. This article here was written on March 02, 2021 which is a little less than a month since then I'm writing this. Also, another key thing is you 'can't tell' who necessarily wrote the post, meaning that the article shows no bias.

This is the same website as the previous article and there isn't too many shares either on this article. But just as the last one it was a very easy read that allowed you to really understand what was going on. 

There isn't a motive of making the reader choose a side in this article but if I had to come up with sides I would say that looking from the artist's perspective with Maestro joining Sony that helped increase exposure and also I'm sure of new features within the streaming service. On the other end, joining with Sony could have taken away a lot of ownership that Maestro leaders that may have still wanted that control. 

• This is a great idea, with the music industry suffering from covid – 19. Not being able to pack stadiums and fill seats, the revenue that was once brought in by doing live events has shook the world not only for artist but for the people who put events together in all aspects of entertainment. Modern technology from Maestro will change just that, in addition to live-streaming tech, Maestro offers its music clients monetization tools that enable them to sell tickets and merch, set up pay-per-view and subscription events, and to interact/give “shout outs” to fans who tip on the platform. Maestro is capable of hosting live, virtual, and augmented reality concerts, or a mixture of the three. This is a game changer. 
• Musicbusinessworldwide.com is one of my favorite sources to go to the are exceptionally reliable and professional. I have used this source on multiple occasions. 
• This source is a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. It is incredibly detailed and professional, with tons of links, photos, and videos to back their claims. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in what is going on in the music industry. 

• The site, which comes with its own newsletter and social accounts, is being pitched as a place for writers and composers to get the latest news, whether it’s updates on relevant products and services, new programs or video resources, or just chances to connect. I think that this is a great idea, where writers and composers can log in and see new products and services, and get updates as well connect with other writers and composers.  
• I think that the source of this content is reliable, the objectivity was present a product for people, the cost of this wasn’t available on the site so, I don’t know if this will be a free site or pay, but either way this is a great idea. There was Accuracy, the article contained sources and factual information. 
• I believe that the source musically.com is a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. Just about all their content is music related and would be a helpful source for anyone seeking information. 

I feel like it can ,but not all big time artist lookin into it and I feel as if they should . It will not only help them with their rights to their own music but it helps them make money for themselves an not just the record label they are signed to .

This great for individuals who want to check on this information and people who want to be able to know for themselves about copyrights.

This article is about the Fender Play app which allows you to learn how to play the guitar. I feel like this app really shows how advanced and new our technology has grown from. Even so much of knowing that people were probably just learning how to play guitar from watching YouTube to know the best and most efficient way of learning how to play in a self-teaching at home method. 

This article, although short, gives a good overall summary of the uses of the app. A lot of the extra information you would have to actually use and download the app to see any extra features and overall "gameplay". 

On one side, a classic/old-school guitarist may strongly despise of this teaching method. Having strong views on being taught from a true professional or guru on this subject, which may in some cases be necessary. On the other, more modern side, this may be the next big thing. Someone stuck in quarantine during the pandemic may have found their new passion on this app. And would strongly suggest it to someone they may know looking to learn how to play. Especially if they maybe don't have access to a mentor to learn from.
