            <title>Free Trumpet Samples and Loops</title>
            <link>http://indiestream360.com/forum.php?band_id=0&amp;t=1237074991#1</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Mihai Sorohan<br />03/14/09 23:56:31<br /><br />Hi
Most of this site users don't know me, so, let me introduce myself:
My name is Mihai Sorohan and I'm a professional musician. I used to work for 7 years in a Philharmonic orchestra and 2 years in Romanian National Opera.
I gave up to that and starting a career on playing Jazz.

So, trumpet samples and loops, yep...right.
One day I thought that would be helpful for some other musicians to release some trumpet loops and samples packs.
Those are free to download and free to use, so, feel free to use those in multimedia projects (music, movies, flash animations) and please don't forget to give credit for that in the description of your project.
Trumpet Section in F - 90bpm
http://www.mediafire.com/?ytdjwylowym
and
Trumpet Section in C - 120bpm
http://www.mediafire.com/?bnwd2adwj55

All trumpets by Mihai Sorohan.
Gear used:
- trumpet Bb Amati ATR213
- microphone Oktava MK 319
- mixer Behringer Eurorack UB1204 FX-Pro
- soundcard M-Audio Delta Audiophile 192

All tracks stereo wav format, 16 bit, 48 khz samplerate.

            <title>Steps to success for the independent artist</title>
            <link>http://indiestream360.com/forum.php?band_id=0&amp;t=1255757333#1</link>
            <description><![CDATA[MONEE<br />10/17/09 05:28:53<br /><br />Here's a couple steps for success. 

1. Believe in yourself
You must believe in yourself. Realize that you don’t need a label to be
a success. Don’t be egotistical, but be confident. Be optimistic –
believe you are good enough and can get what you want. If you don’t
have faith in yourself – no one else will.

2. Be realistic
Do research – Get objective opinions - Identify your market. Know
that you’re going to have to tour. Know when to ask for help. the fact that you probably won’t become a star or get on MTV, but
that you can make a living playing music.

3. Make a wish list
Create a Wish List – What do you ultimately want and how do you
plan to get it? What are the things you need to do and how long will it
take? Set reasonable goals and break your Plan into phases: 3 months
– 6 months – 1 year – 3 years, etc…

4. Know your budget
If you’re serious about a career, you’re going to have to invest in
yourself. Itemize your expenses and add 20%. Approach Sponsors
with a detailed plan. Negotiate deals that take care of the basics:
travel, food, lodging, backline, etc... And, don’t forget manufacturing
and promotional costs.

5. Take care of business
Remember – it is the music “business.” Network as much as possible;
organize a team, with each person responsible for a specific area. If
you’re solo, manage your time wisely. Get your own Bar Code. Seek
professional advice to set up your business entities. Pay attention to
licenses and tax implications. When you tour, get insurance.

6. Market yourself
Think creatively. Make time for “personal appearances” before your
gigs. Set up cross-promotions with radio stations, sponsors, venues,
and retail stores. Make sure you have enough products to sell – both
CDs and merchandise. Offer promotional contests. Play Special
Events. Work your mailing list and keep in touch with your fans at
least once a month.

7. Keep records
Keep books that reflect income and expenses. Accurately account for
sales. Register and report to SoundScan. Maintain tax records. Record
your draw – note the venue/locale that draws best. Keep updating your
mailing list.

8. Adapt & adjust
Evaluate results: What works – What doesn’t? Revise your plan and
adjust your approach accordingly. Find ways to increase your fan base
and make a profit. What can be done better?

9. Keep the faith
No matter how hard you work, there will be frustrating times. Keep
the faith and don’t let it deter you. Everyone experiences setbacks.
Those that persevere will prevail.

10. Make it fun
If it’s not fun anymore – don’t do it. Reward yourself (and your team)
whenever possible. Acknowledge a job well done. Take a break –
enjoy life – then, get back to work.]]></description>
