A compilation album is an album of songs, made by different recording artists, or by one group or artist at different times. Some compilations are greatest hits albums, which feature the biggest hit records of a given year, or a certain genre of music, or artists from the same era or location.
Usually, mixtapes are produced casually and are given away for free or at low cost in order to gain exposure or for marketing purposes.
Both are very good ideas to do.
Our apologies to this lateness.
We had a wonderful outcome over at the game room. I wanna say thank you for all the artists that came out and everyone that came out to support them, this was truly amazing.
Our apologies to this lateness.I can't express enough the enjoyment. I got for putting on the showcase in San Francisco at the hotel. Utah, I want to take this time to thank every artist that came out and performed.
This one is good cause many new artists have this big plan to become filthy rich when they get signed. But what they don't know is that the bonus they are getting is just a loan that needs to be paid back. I covered this in a blogged before Blog 5-04-2022!
I Google search this and look what I found.
How Much Advance Do Record Labels Give, And How Much Should You Try And Get? -
I was asked this question.
"What happens if I leave Sikkidz and 2 months to year later down the road or more, Sikkidz get an offer from another company "Label" for a deal for that artist that left the Sikkidz, what happens then?"
Simple answer we just let the Company know we no longer manage that artist, and we cannot give them any information on how they can connect with them (Privacy Act).
Unless it's stated in the contract the artist had signed with the Sikkidz, that the only way we can forward any information.

Tip #8 for Creating Energy in Your Vocals.
Record Parts in Sections, Then Create Comp Takes
In order to create energy, you can try recording songs in smaller sections. The idea here is that you can focus on smaller sections easier, and you can concentrate on recording energetic parts for a specific section of the song. For instance, you could record the song verse by verse or chorus by chorus, giving your best for each take. Focus your energy into recording the most energized and highest level of takes possible. Then, you can pick the best takes and comp them to create a great final performance in editing.
Tip #7 for Creating Energy in Your Vocals.
Set Up Your Equipment Carefully to Avoid Problems During the Session
Before your record, make sure that your equipment and DAW session is ready to go. Also make sure your microphone is placed properly within the room. If the equipment is not set up properly, you might have to solve issues during the session which can be distracting. The longer the troubleshooting takes, the more your performance is likely to suffer, as your focus and energy will be spent on something other than your performance.
Tip #6 for Creating Energy in Your Vocals.
Come Prepared with Vocal Ideas and Experiments to Try Out
