That they should of talked about how did she come up with the movie and how they got everybody to sing silent night and who helped create the movie. I like the fact that they got new singers singing the song and making it more up to date. I like the fact that silent night was the number one Christmas song to be remade. No this source is not informational for audio industry. 

Daquincey Gamblin's curator insight, December 12, 2021 10:51 PM

My insights on this is that I love how this song has made a big trade mark around the world. Its well known for various of reasons and mostly everybody sings it around Christmas time.

 

I've heard a lot on this song and to finally know where the song was establish is big. My personal opinion for this is that having different people sing and record this song is awesome because some people would like to hear it from different aspects. Some people may have a different approach to the song. This source to me should be major informational source for people in the audio industry  because a lot if people would like to know about things like this and would want to listent to it since it will be different people on this project.

Sonos launched a paid subscription Internet radio service today. It uses AI-based technology from a startup called SuperHiFi that creates lavishly-produced programming automatically and in real time.
Chad’s Oldest Son ����‍��'s curator insight, December 16, 2020 11:47 PM

This article was a good article just informing everyone on a new automated internet radio service unlike things like IHeartRadio and etc. This was a reliable source because the objective of it was is to sell you a product. It’s not a major informational source for the industry unless you plan on going into radio. After that it is because this is a new platform for you. 

Adam Umbach's curator insight, February 16, 2021 7:25 PM

- Sonos is ready to compete with other audio streaming services across the world with a new subscription based platform that offers access to 60,000+ radio stations for just under $8 a month. At first glance it doesn't sound like anything special nor something we haven't heard of before however the streaming quality is lossless FLAC compression the likes of which have yet to be seen on services like Spotify and Apple Music.

- This article is 100% credible without a doubt as it is a Forbes article written by Bill Rosenblatt, the founder of GiantSteps Media Technology Strategies.

Siontay Lewis's curator insight, January 24, 2021 12:23 PM
This is an interesting read, especially for those looking to be independent in their work.  This article also supports the trends of online platforms being used for artists to get their music into public ears.  This article breaks down the music industry in China and competition with companies such as Tencent Music Entertainment and NetEase Cloud Music and how much artists has thrived in conjuction with enourmous growth in many ways changes the way I look at the music industry in the future.  All data supported by Cinq Music Group, who have won many grammy's, Gold and Platinum records via RIAA. They have also worked with artists like Janet Jackson, Bad Bunny, and Daddy Yankee.  
Isaac Fincher's curator insight, February 18, 2021 12:43 PM
1. My opinion of this article is that it was well written and addresses the benefits of independent Chinese artists joining the NetEase and Tencent platforms and the different services offered by the two. 
2. I believe this article is accurate because the writer quotes CEOs from both NetEase and Tencent and those two companies are the topic of the article.
3.  I believe this website is a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. It contains current relevant articles that relate to the audio industry.

My opinion about this article is that he helpful because he talked about how to make money in the music industry. He started off as an artist before he got sign to def jams and Warner music. And he thought he was dog it for the money and cars but he said he was doing it because he can have freedom and creativity over his work. Yes it have good information for audio industry professional.

Daquincey Gamblin's curator insight, December 12, 2021 11:06 PM

My opinion top this is that I like how he explained having a work ethic and pushing himself too be great at what it is that he does. Having artist come up from this label and progress into big time music artist is a great thing. He also started off working for recording labels like Def Jam and Warner Music and it was a great start for him and leading him into starting his own company.

 

To me in some ways to me I really think this will help out people in the  audio industry and is a reliable source. It gives you a way of wanting to work hard towards your goal and to give you some type of motivation. This is something that I will come to and read for motivation myself because he talks about great things.

The CEO of 300 Entertainment talked about being Independent in the music industry. Some people think that going independent is good in some situations. The CEO Kevin Liles said "I wanted to be in the business of music."

 

*There is nothing wrong with going independent you just putting In more work unless you have a planned out team. That doesn't mean you're alone in the music, don't ever think like that.

Josh Jordan's curator insight, November 10, 2020 2:25 PM
His headline caught my attention; 

 “The video game has become a music venue as the pandemic continues to keep live shows off the road”.

  How true is that?  I couldn’t agree more.  I thought this was such a great idea by J Balvin, Latin Pop Star.  He made an appearance on the very popular game “Fortnight’.  While it appeared to be filled with many moving objects etc, it was really taped with a green screen and tons of special effects.  He played a 13 song, 38 minute concert while the game was playing and being watched by millions and millions and millions of people!  That’s one way to get your music out there during this pandemic! This article was written by yet another very reliable source, The New York Times.  The New York Times is a newspaper based in NYC and is a credible paper.  Some say they also lean a little left-center.

I agree that millions of creators and producers are losing their livelihoods, and that policymakers need to become just as innovative as we move forward. The writer and analysis of sources can be found below the article. Music Week is a major informational resource for audio industry professionals.

  • creators of music, audiovisual works, visual arts, drama, and literature are likely to decline this year by up to 35% in lost income dure to covid-19, and millions of creators are losing their livelihood. The music industry was one of the first industries to fell the magnitude of covid but, will be that last industry to recover. This was some valuable information on the issue at hand giving to me by music week.com 
  •  The reliability of this source was top notch, Objectivity, Accuracy, and Currency flooded the article, tons of numbers, percentages, and information on this issue. 
  • the source is a major informational resource for audio industry professionals. Very professional and has tons of numbers and percentages like Live and background accounted for 29% of all music collections in 2019 but will be the most hit by the pandemic. Cancellation of events and social distancing measures are expected to lead to a 60-80% decline in 2020. This follows an increase of 5.6% in 2019. Along with other valuable information. I Highly recommend.

The exchange physique has entered the debate at a time when an influential UK parliamentary committee is set to inspect the economics of streaming. Organizations along with the Ivor's Academy have led the calls for change. Recorded track enterprise revenues are now powered using streaming. Last year, streaming income hit 56.1% of world revenues, by IFPI. In a statement, EMMA cautioned that artists and different track creators are dropping out on these profits due to the fact of “commercial inefficiencies alongside out-of-date licensing and contractual practices”.
