Pardon the question but if publishing, which is one of the rare income streams for the 
songwriter, is such a bad game what exactly keeps a person in for long enough to become 
a director?  Reads a little like the conservative politician gone green in retirement.  And 
believe me I don't want to think badly of publishing companies today, they make record 
company people look like exactly what they usually are, shyster commerce graduates.

[Logic_Cafe] Admin Question

2007-04-07 by Duane Miller

Is this group to become an open music discussion forum or a Logic  
users group? I find the discussion of Music publishing fascinating  
but not why I subscribe. Does work to get your my-space address  
around. I believe there are many  groups already setup for this topic  
available but not all that many specific to Logic outside the  
obvious. A statement from you might help set me straight. Thanks,  
this was not meant to offend.

Thanks for your comments Duane. Well, no one is saying much about Logic these 
days, but we all share a number of other issues and discussions arise. We 
have over 650 members now but perhaps we need a larger critical mass to have more 
frequent Logic discussions. Its sorta feast or famine - either there are 
20,000 users and hundreds of mails a day, and strict censorship - or else not 
enough discussion. If you have any Logic topics feel free. I have been thinking of 
sending a list of suggestions for Logic 8 to those British magazines that 
collect   such things. I just have a totally different philosophy than some 
moderators - I don't consider this "my list" and I can do whatever I want - rather, 
I consider "our list" and we can decide as a group what we want to do. 
Whatever everyone wants is fine with me. We could put "OT" or "Off topic" in the 
title of non-Logic related messages to make them easier to delete too.

Greg

In Logic 7.1 I get this bug in the matrix window where I delete a few notes 
but it shows that a bunch of other notes are also deleted although they were 
not selected. It turns out they are not deleted, and they still sound and if you 
close the matrix window and re-open they are back there.

What I'm saying is that it is a good game if 1-you are a composer/songwriter and you have your own company AND you know how to run it or 2-if you are with a good publishing company, ie, one that actually does the work that they are supposed to do---In my experience, most do not do it.  But to tell you the truth, in a certain way the songwriters are 50% to blame for their problems.  1-They don't read their contracts 2-the writers are famous for not being educated about the business end of things and 3-the writers ALMOST NEVER investigate the character of their new partners (ie, the publishing companies) and : do they have happy clients?  Are most writers happy with what they have done?  Just because it is a big company doesn't mean that people are happy with you.

It's an appropriate question; I just think that if you don't have any income, you can't buy equipment or pay your bills, it's something that would have changed my life if I had known this when I was 18 or so and now it is something that I can offer others.  

However, I would be interested what others think about this.

Same here. During the last decade I have earned a buck or two as a  
producer/arranger/recording and pre-mastering engineer/studio  
consultant, but I am yet to earn a single buck from my own music,  
although I started my studio exactly for this purpose long time  
ago... simply because I didn't know (or was too busy, or care about)  
some really great info that's been revealed here.

Best,

Andy

FWIW, I agree with Duane. I think publishing issues
stray a bit far from Logic.

Re: [Logic_Cafe] Admin Question

2007-04-12 by Gregory

I think the OT designation in the subject would be a good idea.  I  
personally learned a lot from the publishing thread, and the group is  
low enough volume that OT threads during the slow periods are fine  
with me and help keep the group vital.  But since not everyone feels  
that way, putting OT in the subject will allow those people to  
automatically divert those messages to an OT folder that they can  
empty without reading them.

What I wouldn't want is

a) Too high an OT to Logic postings ratio
b) A separate OT list
c) a ban on the occasional OT thread

Putting OT in the subject requires all the participants to self- 
regulate, which is infinitely preferable to any top-down regulation  
(by Greg or his minions, if he has minions).   And if the occasional  
poster forgets to put OT in the subject heading of an OT posting, it  
won't be too big of a crisis.

Just my thoughts

Gregory

PS:  Was this post OT?

I think it was a SHOT  (something helpful off topic.)
Did we decide to use OT? I like to comply and am guilty as anyone of  
drifting off. Sometimes due to posting "Pertaining to off-topic". ; )
