PF: Hi, Mario. So I hear that there will be a Music2Deal update happening in January 2019. What types of benefits can we expect? MC: Well, we've noticed that there are many members who still are not benefiting as much as they can from our system so we're helping them in this new update. For example, many members haven't uploaded a Music (Song) Offer even though it´s free with a Basic Membership. Or sometimes they post their music in the wrong section. Although we tried with former updates to optimized the usability, members often don´t know the right steps to do on Music2Deal. So the idea of Music2Deal is great and a lot of people are already doing good business on Music2Deal. But to be honest, sometimes it´s just a matter of having the right knowledge. For example, someone who is working in the music business should know about the differences between the song copyrights and the performance protection rights, so that they know in which section they should post their music offer. When I look at these sections I sometimes see members who don´t have …

This group has been organised as a more efficient way to send educational, instructional and informative information concerning the entertainment industry. They will also communicate pending and possible business opportunities. Allen Johnston just started the 1st topic “Music needed for Korea” in the forum Business opportunities. Join the group and don´t miss opportunities.

This very extensive update contains so many features that we would like to introduce this in advance. Since our network is aimed at professionals in the music industry, the focus of this update is to create more features and tools to enable even more professional working with Music2Deal. In the following we will introduce the new features & tools in detail.

So this is the best time to introduce you to the booking and artist-discovery platform gigmit. More than 5,500 promoters use gigmit to find acts for their line-up and to book! In the past, the Sziget Festival was one of the biggest promoters, but right now the biggest showcase festivals from UK (Liverpool Sound City) and Portugal (Westway Lab) are looking for suitable artists through gigmit. In 2017 gigmit initiated a network for showcase festivals with 8 European festivals: 13 festivals in Europe book exclusively through gigmit now and they all want to present Upcoming Artists to the music industry. Since the launching of gigmit, artists have been offered and paid a total of 8 million euros in fees through the platform. As a Music2Deal member, you profit from all of those perks: have a 30% discount on a gigmit PRO membership, just for you! Your voucher code: 30-OFF-PRO

Since there are still a lot of people in the music industry, whether it ́s an artist, songwriter, producer or even a record label who don’t see the importance of YouTube, Marcus founded Braverick to offer services like YouTube MCN, YouTube channel optimization, as well as music distribution and Spotify promotion. Music2Deal: What exactly is an MCN? Marcus Behrens: An MCN (Multi-Channel-Network) is a way for YouTube creators to access useful resources to grow their channels, as well as copyright protection, ad revenue, and YouTube partnership. MCNs deal with monetization, advertising, and copyright law, to help the creators focus on their creative content. You don’t necessarily need an MCN to produce monetized content, but partnering with an MCN offers benefits that make it easier. These benefits include assistance with search engine optimization (SEO), access to video production facilities, funding for costly projects, and seamless access to other platforms besides YouTube.MCNs make money off the “revenue share”. This is shared money earned from monetizing your videos and advertising with the MCN’s ad partners. You also get a share of these same profits. The percentage that the MCN takes varies – as high as 40% if you are small and don’t have a lot of weight to throw around, or as low as 10% if you are a big, viral channel. To think that an MCN just greedily scoops up your money then goes away, is not the best way to look at it. In return for being able to share your profits, your network will provide you with access to tools that will help grow your channel and make it more popular. They want your channel to grow, because the more money it makes, the more they make. They are in your corner. Music2Deal: Do I need a YouTube MCN? Marcus Behrens: Some channels, in particular, music and gaming channels, don’t need to partner with YouTube networks to monetize their content, as long as …

gigmit offers gig possibilities that will take you further. Even festivals like Liverpool Sound City, Berlin Music Week, Deichbrand, Jazzahead and Sziget have booked gigmit artists. More than 5,500 organizers regularly advertise their free slots in the daily updated gig database. With this partnership you profit as a Music2Deal member with special conditions from gigmit. More information about this soon.

Whether they are artists, songwriters, producers, record labels or publishers. A place where all these people can present their channels, ideas, projects, and new business opportunities. Have a look at the 1st discussion “My music is on YouTube - Do I need an MCN?” What is your opinion and let us know what you are thinking.

Gary has just contributed the Foreword to Richard’s forthcoming new book ‘Depeche Mode – Violator: The Ultimate A&R Guide’ due out through Glamour Puss Publishing very soon. In the second of a three part interview Gary discusses the orchestral tour in November that will see the light as a new DVD and live album. Plus the Old Grey Whistle Test, lost songs, tour support groups and Hohokam. Richard Rogers: So from what you were saying earlier the Orchestral Tour is going to be massive and will take in songs from Savage and selected pieces from the earlier work in your back catalogue. Was there anything you didn’t like that you put out previously. Gary Numan: The one I didn’t like was ‘Machine And Soul’ which I hate with a passion. Dreadful album. RR: The demo b-sides on the CD singles to that album were really good. GN: Were they? (Laughs) I don’t remember those at all. There will be a live album from this tour and we may record it and film it at the Royal Albert Hall but they want an outrageous amount of …

I know many people who complained about the date in summer but I prefer the June date than the date at the end of January as MIDEM used to be for many years. It´s definitely better and more relaxed to talk with people at the MIDEM beach, outside at Café Roma or at one of the Balconies of the Palais with a nice view at the harbour. I remember those MIDEM days when I went…
