Artist Summery

Dood Computer and Stir Crazy is a group consisting of Albany New York recording artists Dood Computer and metro Detroit super producer Stir Crazy. Their music when combined is a rugged, grimey, underground hip hop smörgåsbord with instrumental experimentations.

Their songs are about everyday life and are filled with problems and situations that anyone can or has related to at some point in their life.

The energy in the live show is something you must experience, but can only be compared to a stampede of elephants busting down the doors and running wild in the venues.

Dood Computer has a flow equivalent to Kanye West but thrown into a blender with Eminem and your favorite comedian…hit mix and you get a small taste of his sound.

!

The new era of hip hop is here ….get ready to have your wig flipped back and enjoy the revamped sound!

Target Market

Dood Computer and Stir Crazy have very diverse age and gender fan base but the group that will have the most interest in them is males and females in the 15-28 age range.

Their fans are interested and amazed by Dood Computer’s wonderful and energy filled recording and stage performance, along with Stir Crazys’ hard hitting, grimey music production.

Their fans are interested in and in tune with hip hop, and they enjoy vinyl records, poetry and the internet.

They are high school educated and many have some college credit to their name. They are fairy internet savy and are interested in trying to stay up to date when it comes to new underground music.

The appropriate radio stations would be those in the rap and hip hop genres along with internet stations that play underground hip hop music.

Local retailers may opt to carry the tape as may some nation record store chains. Their music can also be found through online merchants like I-Tunes.

Music Video Information

How big is your vinyl record collection and what are some of your favorite records?

I just got an old record player and am shopping on eBay for some records. Any suggestions? Any good websites out there for buying quality records?

Are there any cool record shops that carry vinyl in or around the Atlanta area?

Looking for mostly rock music maybe some modern stuff too. Thanks!

Create your own Streaming Audio studio for under $50.00

Creating your own Streaming Audio audio studio has never been easier. There are so many great products around today that will allow you to produce high quality streaming audio for a fraction of the price it used to cost.

HARDWARE

The first thing you will need is a compatible computer. Today every new computer is already set up with everything you will need. A basic sound card with a mic and line in jack. If you do not have a sound card they are very cheap and you can get a good one from any standard computer shop.

Next you will need a good mic. These come in all sizes and shapes with different configurations however a general all round mic like the Logitech Noise-canceling microphone is fine for beginners. I suggest you get a desk top one to start with, as you may want to move into video later and so you wont want a headset in your videos.

Of course you could go up a stage and get a preamp with a professional mic but this will start running into dollars and the whole aim of this article is to help you get started.

Next you will want to get some cables to connect up your tape recorder and other audio equipment. Again the computer stores now have packs that will connect up pretty well any device into your computer to digitalise your sound. You want to record directly onto your computer however you can get those old tapes and Vinyl records into a digital format also.

SOFTWARE – RECORDING

Recording your audio is probably one of the most critical parts of this process and again you can get software that ranges from free to many thousands of dollars. For this exercise I suggest you download the free copy of Audacity. This is an excellent free software package that will allow you to record from your microphone or any equipment you have.

It provides excellent editing capabilities and also will allow you to edit multiple tracks and then combine them into one single track. For a quick overview of how to do this you can watch this video and also download the software

SOFTWARE – CONVERTING

The next piece of software you will need for your studio is a converting program that will allow you to convert different formats. For example you may have a real audio file and you want to convert it to mp3. dBpoweramp is like the Swiss army knife for the audio industry and will convert just about any file to any other file format.

Convert from one format to another, just about every audio type is supported: mp3, mp4, Windows Media Audio (wma), Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Monkeys Audio, FLAC and many others whilst preserving ID Tags. It will also rip CDs for you.

SOFTWARE – REDUCTION

If you are going to stream an mp3 direct then you may want to recompile the file to a smaller format. RazorLame is a so-called “front-end” for use with LAME. LAME is a great MP3-Encoder, it’s very fast, it produces high-quality files, has many advanced features (like Variable Bitrates and Joint-Stereo), and it’s open source. Unfortunately, it is a command line utility, and that is where RazorLame comes in: It provides an easy-to-use graphical user-interface which makes MP3-encoding even easier!

The best way to use this software is to get one file and compile in a number of different formats to test the size against quality.

SOFTWARE – STREAMING

There are a few different ways of streaming your new audio files. If you have Macromedia products you can simple organize this your self however there are some great third party programs around that will do it all for you at a fraction of the cost.

MP3 SOUND STREAM

This is a simple piece of software that takes any mp3 or wav audio and converts the whole file into a swf file and then attaches a button so that viewers can listen on a web page without needing to download any extra software. This is because the flash plugin is on 98% of computes and if not it will automatically detect and load the small plugin. This is great for anyone not wanting to get into all the technical aspects of streaming audio.

You will not need to reduce your files at all with this program as it does it all for you. This is perfect for anyone wanting to stream one file at a time and wants to do it quickly and efficiently. It will stream even over most modem connections.

Shops around London/Woodford that sell Vinyl Records?

Hi, i was wondering if there were any shops around London or Woodford that sell vinyl records? Thanks

I like this shy guy who works in a vinyl shop. What can I do?

I’m crazy about music and I love vinyl. I’ve discovered a lovely scruffy second-hand vinyl shop two weeks ago and I really like the guy who works there.

He’s very shy and doesn’t like talking to customers (I think he prefers reorganising his records to social intercourse ) but he does talk to me. Every time I go to that shop, we have long discussions about music, we even like the same bands!
I usually don’t like shy people but this guy is just different… I think he likes me but I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to scare him off… Just being friends with him would mean a lot to me.
So, what should I do?
