Groundbreaking Music Distribution Service Embraces File Sharing – Airborne
#airborne music
And the virus is airborne.
Are you one of the millions of people worldwide, who share and consume music digitally?
Are you willing to pay for music, but irked by the ridiculous and restrictive licensing measures that labels put in place, for the sake of keeping their wheezing, dying CD-based business model alive?
What do you mean, if I buy a CD, and rip it to my iPod, I’m contravening licensing laws?
Time to flip a table.
The music industry is sick from Airborne on Vimeo.
For artists to make the US minimum wage each month, they’d have to make 12 THOUSAND album sales on iTunes, FOUR MILLION plays on Spotify, or nail just 1 658 fans on Airborne, who would subscribe for $1 a month.
Read that again. It’s not incorrect, just shocking.
To find out more about this incredible new service as an artist, or a consumer who feels like liberating themselves from a sham of a business model, check out the Airborne website, HERE.

Magix Music Maker MX – Saving You From A Summer Of Bad Music
#magix
It’s summer time in South Africa.
There are a few angles of attack that you can employ to defeat the summer heat.
The first, is loose fitting clothing.
The second, is a chilled beverage.
And the third, and most critical component, is music.
“BUT,” I hear you say, “we’ve heard LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem so many times, our ears are bleeding, and we’ve lost the very will to live!”
That, my friends, is an unfortunate byproduct of the summer hit single.
But you really have no reason to complain. More than that, you have no excuse for not listening to exactly what you want to this summer, my friends.
How? So glad you asked. By mixing YOUR OWN TRACKS, that’s how. And more specifically, you can mix them with this lifesaving piece of software: The Magix Music Maker MX.
There are honestly so many features to this software, that we don’t know where to begin. Our producers and techs over at 2oceansvibe Radio gave it a once over, and went completely nuts.
Check out the new features on this version, let alone the standard features of the software:
- NEW! More than 3,500 sounds & loops
- NEW! Lead Synth: Professional quality analog synthesizer
- NEW! Drum Engine: Awesome drums
- NEW! Loop Designer: Remix loops intuitively
- NEW! VST-Support: For extra instruments and effects
- NEW! Facebook upload: Share your own songs directly on Facebook
No look, that is genuinely impressive.
You can snap up this sick deal HERE. Do it!

More fun, you simply cannot have! Continue Reading

The Real Reason Why MegaUpload Was Shut Down?
#cloud
So! The shutdown MegaUpload and charging of founders with piracy ostensibly started with a copyright scuffle between the filesharing site and the Universal Music Group. Except the shut-down was also timed to scupper MegaBox, a venture to sell artist’s work directly to consumers while letting artists keep 90 percent of earnings. Raised eyebrows all around.
