They're "doing it" but the audio fidelity is generally just north of dogshit because people don't own real studio gear, professional DA convertors, mic pre's, microphones, monitors, mix in treated rooms, etc.

Furthermore, they don't have the experience necessary as engineers or producers in order to make a great record (and more often times, even a listenable song).

I was just talking about getting a demo out to the masses. A great song is a great song. It doesn't need great production to get a idea across.

Who are "they"? It sounds like you're listening to the wrong guys. Even here in tine Omaha there are some local musicians who have some great material. It doesn't take a great studio to produce a solid demo.

First off, you didn't specify "Demo". You said record, mix and master in your office. There are tens of thousands of people with prosumer computer recording equipment across the country but 99.9999% of those recordings are rather unlistenable and the songs are generally poor as well.

And secondly, if a song isn't recorded "properly", regardless of whether or not it's "great" (and that's certainly up for debate), it won't find it's way into film or TV, which is the quickest way to bring attention to a new artist.

I was discussing the difficulty local musicians getting songs out to the public with chiefzilla.

Really????? The greatness of this hypothetical indie song is up for debate????? I give.

What a second: How is it difficult? There's the internet! No record labels necessary.

In the '90s. This is what happens when you jump in & throw a tantrum in mid conversation.

Oh, just **** off.

How many bands were signed from a myspace account in the 90's Mp3.com?

And how many of those bands (I'll let YOU provide the number) had ANY success?

You're an idiot, plain an simple.

I hope that's workin' for ya.

The idea that the internet could have been some kind of panacea for indie and unsigned bands was pure horseshit.

Very, very, very few artists broke through due a myspace or mp3.com account in the 90's and quite frankly, the mp3 and filesharing age has all but killed the major label record business.
