One-to-One = Exposure (Legal?)

Yesterday I attended my second one-to-one training at the Apple store.  The gentleman’s name who has been showing me the ropes of Logic is TJ.  He’s been a great resource to help me further understand what Logic Express can do for you musically.  We discussed what it takes to “Master” a song and song structure.  I feel like I’ve got a pretty good idea on the two it’s just a matter of playing with the options on Logic and lots of practice.  If you have the option of purchasing One-to-One training, at the time of your computer purchase, I would recommend it for Logic if you’re taking it seriously.  As I said previously it’s only $100 and totally worth it if you can afford to put out the extra cash. 

 

On a side note…..  When I was done with the training I went around to every single display Mac Book/iMac computer and pulled up our website.  I figure since I had already been there for an hour sitting with TJ no one would really notice me walking around because their eyes/mind became comfortable with my presence.  It was great… I’m not sure if it was legal but I was looking to ask for forgiveness and not permission….  Innovation is a bonus… Always think of ways to put the word out on what you have to offer.  

 

On a side-side note…. While at work today, on my lunch break, I went around to every single copy and break room through out the entire 8 story building and posted the release of our first album; Dance Biology.  I put them up on a cork boards in every room with a biz card attached.  This may be a little OCD but I made sure all of my tacs used to hang the flyer matched.  I think its really tacky, get it, tacky?  …… to have something hanging up that you’re trying to sell with multi-colored tacks or pins.  I think it shows a lack of effort and organization.  Again, OCD, but it shows pride in what we’re offering and is less distracting than a rainbow of tacks…

 

Almost hump day….  See you then..

 

P.S.  I’m reading this book on how to start up an indie record label.  It’s provided some pretty awesome insight to the do’s and don’ts a lot of it is common sense but a fair bit of it takes experience.  Have an awesome day…

 

P.S. (Am I ever going to finish this post?)   PICK UP ‘DANCE BIOLOGY,’ THE FIRST ALBUM WE’VE BSMG HAS RELEASED. AVAILABLE ON ITUNES NOW!!!
