more Rick Barker tips - Community

YouTube is still the number 1 music discovery source.  This is where to put covers and similar.  YouTube is now a search engine.  Make sure the description is filled out so you can drive them to where you need them.

It is not the number of followers.  It is the quality of those followers.  Is there interaction, or just creepy bots.  You need to view it as your real estate. You own this.  You can control how it looks and is presented.  This is your house.

Rude followers, block them. Creepy bots, block them. Just looking for a follow back, block them.  Now each location has its own purpose.

Facebook can not tell between creepy bots and user when you are targeting your ads.  Why waste your money on a follower that will never buy your product.

Come  Up with your social media meal plan Lan. What he means by this, is you need to give something to them for breakfast, something to them for lunch, and something to them for dinner..

drum tips in ableton

Thank you to Beat Academy once again.

I use the velocity trick often to try and humanize drums a bit more, but I did not know about the second portion that allows you to dial up the sensitivity of the velocity slider. Awesome!

The drag and drop within the drum rack was very cool.  Then being able to right click and reverse the sample is pretty killer.  I will save myself on so many extra tracks I create for a quick reverse like this. Sweet. 

Send and returns in the drum rack. Excellent. Thank you.
