The Web and Mastering

These days the internet figures heavily in the development of independent artists. Music in formats such as MP3, QuickTime and Real Media are in high demand and for good reason: they allow distribution of music quickly and effectively and can sound great! For all practical purposes the Internet is now equivalent to radio for the independent artist, where airplay is on demand. Everyone from fans to major label A & R reps are scouring the Internet looking for the next big thing. Having a complete web portfolio of your music- even videos- gives your album the widest opportunity for exposure initially available to an independent artist.
