Dance Gavin Dance - Artificial Selection (June 8, 2018) Album • Page 53

*Rudy Guiliani voice*: “Ze-roooo”

 

there's a zero percent chance tilian does features for free so...

 

*trump voice* wrong

 

use your brain please

 

I was joking lol, obviously he got paid... but I have a feeling if anyone tries to get away with underpaying guest musicians it’d be Jonny

 

just wondering if anyone knows esp in the case of that cover

its nobody rise bands

 

if i had to peg tilian's feature price id put it between 1 and 5 thousand. maybe more.

 

IIRC a friend’s band a while back tried to get Tyler Carter on a track and even he was 5K

 

5k is actually pretty low compared to what a lot of rappers charge, but the rap game is different and more reliant on features

 

is there money for them to make on covering of a huge pop song I wonder

 

100%. pop covers get views. views = money. views = exposure. exposure = money.

 

not to mention how completely niche and demographic starved all this music is

DGD transcends but I bet everyone else in this pocket is broke doing this stuff

 

yeah straight up from youtube

I wanna know what you make off of 250k views

 

dgd are smart about how they do things which is why theyve survived this long through so much turmoil. cant remember if it was will or jon who i saw in an interview talking about how they dont go as crazy with live production as a lot of bands on their level but they end up making way more money on tour because of it, and they use a van now instead of a bus. stuff like that to keep the band profitable.

 

depends on how many of those viewers click on ads really. and depends on the channel's deal with youtube, if they're a partner or not. the real money comes when you start getting into a million plus views. can make quite a few grand at that point.

 

Okay, I keep trying hard to get into this band and I think it might be starting to click

 

i will admit it takes some time to truly get into this band, at least it did for me, but once you hit that level you fall in love pretty quickly

 

I’ve given their last few albums a passing listen but really not more than that, and thought AS2 was just okay when I listened. Lurking in this thread made me want to try diving in again, and I’ve been digging AS1 for a few days now and in the process of going all the way through the discography

 

Around late summer 2008 when the video for Me And Zoloft came out. It actually took me a while to totally appreciate their style, but once Tree Village was previewed, they became an obsession. I remember Happiness leaking a month early, which seems unheard of in 2018.

 

Spent several painstaking hours learning that song yesterday by going on youtube and bringing the speed down to 0.75. A demo like that would've been uhhhh, extremely helpful and saved me a lot of time

 

Just use the Riff Studio app :)

 

What is that?

 

I could listen to Mingus play the drums for fucking days. The guy is so unique. Makes me never want to pick up my sticks again.

 

An app that allows you to slow songs, loop parts and change the pitch at a relatively low loss of quality. It works great for learning songs.
