Topic: Wt-01

i started a label called wt records..
i am trying to sell some copies directly to shops and the people. if you would like to order one (or more) let me know.
the soundclips are below.
$tinkworx is a moody piano house anthem and Kinoeye (aka datahata) is a dusty detroit house track..

Re: Wt-01

Very nice speculator!! So you'll do the distro yourself? Hopefully clone, rushhour and the likes will pick up on this... how many copies did you press?

Re: Wt-01

looking forward

Re: Wt-01

I like it. How much is shipping to Netherlands?

Re: Wt-01

about $15( i gotta buy a box and stuff) so $25 total.. which is..18.35 euros..

and for everyone else waiting on clone to get them.. you might have to wait a while.. right now it looks like we cannot come to an agreement.. so i am gonna be selling them myself.. i also have a couple other distributors.. but we shall see.. so if you want it while it is fresh.. order from me directly.. then i can also give the artists some money and have some left over to press the next one.

Re: Wt-01

so i am gonna try some experimental stuff.. i am gonna sell the highest quality wav files of WT-01 for $2.

paypal me $2 to williamtburnett at gmail
and i will give you a link to download. this will be with the honor system and i only ask you nicely not to share. just trying to make a buck or 2.

as always, you can buy the vinyl for $10 plus shipping and handling.

Re: Wt-01

nice tracks and cool label art. congrats

How is this risky ? beats selling in oline stores where prices are higher and artist & label gets little money for their work. Also if your label catalog dosent sell it gets pulled at their own discretion.  Independent labels should do this more often good move Speculator.

Re: Wt-01

when is the next time you come to Europe ?

Re: Wt-01

i dont know when.. why?

and i never understood why artists dont sell mp3s directly either? why should beatport or itunes get 30 percent or half or whatever they get?

i had my first customer.

also, would it be better to sell 320 mp3s? and how do you convert to 320 from wav.. in my itunes i can only find to 192..

if you want to sell mp3 use lame encoder for best quality, i think you can use it with itunes somehow.

Re: Wt-01

u can use Lame encoder indeed within iTunes, but I have no clue how. never bothered to really look into it.

if you look in the preferences you can set the quality. 320 mp3, 320 aac and whatnot.
or just sell the WAV's. problem solved and buyers can convert in any format they want.

try to find a host where you can set the number of downloads (1), so to avoid people sharing the link.
downside is that you have to upload it everytime a buyer comes along.
