I DON’T NEED A RECORD DE(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Thousands of people want to be recording stars, but lack a
deal with a record label. While today’s musicians have all the
tools they need to build a recording career on their own-pro-tools
for inexpensive recording and home recording, marketing on the
Internet, and opportunities to license their music for use in
films, television, advertising, and video games-they don’t always
have the skills to use them. I Don’t Need a Record Deal is a
completely comprehensive step-by-step guide to the new world of
independent recording. Drawing on interviews from over 150
musicians and industry pros, Schwartz shows readers how to put out
a CD and market it through the media, radio, clubs, and retail. But
more importantly, she shows musicians how to create a business
around music and to develop opportunities for earning a living.
Truly a survival guide for novice and professional musicians alike,
I Don’t Need a Record Deal brings information on developing one’s
own independent music career together, adding new resources and
taking the reader into the future of music.
