"So, how can I make money with my music that ends up on YouTube?" a client asked me last week. I promptly told him I had no idea, but it probably had to do with getting tens of thousands of hits and then advertisers deciding they wanted to put ads on your chanel. . . I thought for a little whlie longer and decided it would be a great blog post because I'm sure there are many independant musicians that would love to know.
Nick Landis is now a Certified Mastered For iTunes Mastering Engineer.
It seems that every day I hear of a new way to get your songs to the digital marketplace, so it's about time for an update on Digital Distribution methods for your music. In a more strict sense of the term, digital distribution relates not just to music but eBooks, movies, ringtones, photography, software programs and apps among other things. There are a lot of stores. . .
Mastered for iTunes made a splash a few months ago when Apple made the announcement that they would accept higher resolution masters for AAC (like MP3) release. I was highly skeptical that it would make the files sound better.

I'm wanting to get back into time lapse photography. . . but I didn't do too well on this attempt. It's too dark to see anything. More to come soon, hopefully.
