We
are always asked; "can i put a mix tape on the SoundLoad
card?" The answer is yes! You as a DJ are an artist yourself,
and DJ's have more power now than ever before, and that will
continue to be seen more and more in the near future. SoundLoad
Music is pioneering how DJ's can maximize their brand. Dj's
who are active in a market are already putting out mix tapes.
However, the question of "are they legal?"-- is
still being debated.
SoundLoad
Music's website has an I.P.R. (intellectual property rights)
form on the registration page. This means that if you fill
this out you are responsible for the contents of this body
of work. But the game keeps changing, so SoundLoad
Music has come up with a way to make a legal mix tape. DJ
Drama and DJ Kaled both have albums out on major labels. They
are not rapping on the CD, but they are getting paid, and
getting SoundScans. How did they do it?
There are agreements between the DJ and the artists featured
on the CD, and there is no reason you can't do the same thing.
In the documents section there is a form, which basically
is an agreement that you can print out and get the artist
that you want to be featured on your mix tape to sign. The
agreement basically says the artist is allowing their song
to be on your mix tape, and that it will be registered under
your name.
So you get the credit, you get the SoundScan, and you build
your brand. You can even choose to split the profit with the
artist and that artist can still release the same single on
his own album. If the DJ has a hot enough mix tape brand,
he probably has artists coming to him already. It is fair
for both parties.
You
are driving traffic to your website.
The front of your cards will include your website or MySpace
address and they are customized to look the way you want them
to look. They enable a physical product to be put into consumer’s
hands and are sized to easily fit into wallets, pockets, purses,
and bags.
SoundLoad Music
cards are saved by the consumer and act as a “vehicle”
to “drive” them to your MySpace or website. They
have a perceived and actual value to consumers, and can be
marketed with special items that cannot be found on compact
discs.
You collect valuable back-end
data.
For the first time ever, musicians can know who they’re
fans are. The redemption process and software allows you to
collect valuable consumer information (for example: fans email
addresses). With your SoundLoad
Music account we give you access to view the e-mail address
of every person who downloads your card making it much easier
for you to stay connected to your fans. |
