Re: CD Production



i would definitely have at least 500 made, as others
have said.  i will also join the ranks of those
praising cdbaby.com.  if you read the stuff on their
site, which you probably already have, you'll see why.
 everything they claim to do for you is true.  

as others have also said, the best way to sell them is
to play live.  i believe this to be true especially
because i don't play live (for my solo project, which
is the only cd i have professionally produced so far)
and hardly sell anything!

in fact i would love to get everyone else's thoughts
on the best way to promote your work online if you
don't perform live.  you might think it would be easy
to do, but i have found it to be daunting to the point
where i havn't involved myself with it at all, outside
of posting to a few forums to advertise for the site
(no doubt the reason my sales are low).  i don't
really care about making money, but i would like to
feel like the music is getting heard, and i want to
generate a following so i can justify sinking more
money into releasing more of my rather large amount of
material.  if anyone has been successful with this,
i'd like to hear about it.  

regards,
mike
