I go to college for digital audio production and we had a panel on what you are asking,,, the big things we discussed are these,, In todays age of internet and digital deals the one thing major labels have that most dont is the money for major marketing and distribution, , thats the big perc,,, but a major label deal is not needed for that either,, you can market yourself and network thru myspace, soundclick, promotemysong.com and so many more sites... and the days of breaking new songs thru the radio are gone,, clear channel , and 5 star music have all but ruined radio to me. Most stations are playing on a 12 current system, which basically means you will hear the same song at least every 12 songs,,, I miss the days of independent radio stations, where local artist could get plays, ,,, and as far as Indie labels go,, its the only way to go in this age, you have all control over what goes on ,, we discussed a few artist in New York who where pushing cds on the corners,, one of our panelist, a songwriter from nashville stopped and asked the guy how mancy cds he sold a day,, the guy said 500-1000 at $15 a peice,,, he then asked the guy about record deals,, the guy looked at him and daid why would I need a deal? he made on average 5,000.00 a day,, granted hes on the corner all day,, but that all goes into his pocket. we were told of how a major label gives a artist a $250,000 budget to record a album,, thats session musicians, studio time,, etc... If you dont go platinum with the first release ,, you owe them that, not to mention the cars, clothing, and all that that you will be in what they call the red until all moneys owed them are paid back,,, thats why so many go bankrupt they dont see any money until the 2nd or 3rd album,,, really sucks if you ask me...
