Why get Songs Mixed and Mastered Lyrics

Lot of artists always ask me if they should get their songs mixed and mastered before they put them out, here is a list of reasons why:
1.Quality- Not getting your songs mixed and mastered is like a artist making a sketch but never painting it and thinking it will sell. You must have a polished finished product to compete in todays crowded independent market. Mixing and mastering will make everything sound clearer and louder so it stands out from the crowd

2. Labels want to hear a finished product- With budgets getting smaller and smaller in the music business, having a project that sounds great and is ready to go puts you miles ahead of the competition. Many labels want you to already have music out and a buzz before the will even consider signing you. So give yourself the advantage and get your music sounding the best it can

3. Mastering makes your songs louder- If you put out just a mix it will sound much lower and not as clean and polished as the major label competition. Mastering is a must for every artist releasing new music

4. Become a independent label and sell music yourself- It’s so easy to get your music on all the online stores now with companies like tunecore.com . Once you get your album mixed and mastered you can get it on iTunes, promote your music directly to your fans, and most importantly keep all the profits for yourself!

5. Makes your music radio ready- It’s hard enough to get your music on the radio, but if you go to the radio station and the song is not mixed well or loud enough it makes your chances of getting airplay even less. Do yourself a favor and get it done right, so when you do bump into your favorite DJ you know you are giving him/her the best quality and they will take you seriously

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
