So where do you guys purchase from? I'm not finding that route to be so cheap.

I hear you wiseguy. I'm getting back in the business after a year hiatus. I was working for friends before. However, now I'm on my own. Once I started researching I realized the library they gave me to use has to be mostly pirated. I'm sure they had some discs for those songs, but no way they have t...

I am still trying to figure out how if a venue carries an ASCAP/BMI license the KJ is barred from playing any type of music they want, ripped, downloaded, files given to them, etc. I'm very confused. I have all kinds of songs my singers have brought me that they want to sing. I keep a file for each ...

This is something I've been wondering about. I have worked for friends in the past who simply handed me a hard drive and the equipment and sent me out on gigs. I have no clue if they have the discs for all the songs on the hard drive. I haven't worked for them in a year and I've decided to go out on...
