Also, there are many web-based platforms that allow you to demonstrate your music without the need to shop around for a label. The odds are, if you use these platforms, a label will find you.
Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and Youtube are three popular platforms you could use to let many people hear and share your music. The worst thing you can do is send out a demo blindly.
Many recording labels have very specific rules about demos that you have to follow if you want to make it through the door. Some require you to get permission to send a demo in the first place. Consider that unsolicited demos could get a label in legal trouble. If they're not careful, an artist could claim that the label stole the song from the demo. Demo policies can usually be found on label websites.
Respect the requests of the studios and labels. A demo doesn't have to be long and drawn out to be effective.
Rather, it should be a sample of your work. The goal is to give whoever it is you're trying to reach a taste, so they come asking for more. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile. Measure ad performance. Question: I am just completeing my song demo and getting it ready for mastering. I was wondering how many songs I should put on a CD if I am going to be sending it out to publishers and producers as a demo of what I can do?
Answer: It depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your song demo CD. Are you trying to get a recording contract? Are you trying to get your songs published?
Are you trying to secure a staff writer position with a music publisher? An oft heard, repeated, and wise piece of advice: "Save it for the record! So generally - the first tracks on the demo should be, first of all, the best tracks they have, but then should be tracks that get to the "point" quickly - the hook and body of the song should appear very quickly.
Is even 8 measures too long a delay? Also - so the first 2 tracks should be the best ones that "appear" quickly, then everything that follows should be tracks that don't "appear" quickly but they still consider their best up to the point they don't think the addition of tracks will hurt them?
So there really is no number of tracks that is too many or few?

Do it at least once a month. Problem is, even if you copyright- if someone wants to still it and use it they will. The MPCist. We get about CDs a week here and the assistants are the ones who 'screen' them and pass them on to me if it's anything interesting
