Hello to all musicians, I would like to ask you a question that has been on my mind a lot: i have done many Remix here from a different challenge in the community singer from MAD records as well Can I publish a of that song in my YouTube channal using the original artist's voice but with a different musical arrangement, then proceed to the mixing stage and finally the mastering, without going back to get permission from the original song owner? As far as I know, if the artist changes here, permission must be obtained from the song owner. - My example i done before a remix challenge with Mastering.com and Madrecords.com and Christana Alaire's Roses song and they asked to do a reel on Instagram, per instructions, and tagged everyone IS THAT CONSIDER AS A PARMISSION?

I know quite a few of you know @Mark Lantz from various programs at Mastering.com . We found out earlier today that Mark passed away Sunday morning. We don't know the details but I'm asking you to keep Mark's wife Laura in your prayers. Last month Mark released "Always by my Side", a song he wrote and produced about and dedicated to his wife. Mark and I have had many conversations, 1 on 1 zoom calls, mentor calls, and chat messages. I have watched him progress since Sept 2023 as he started his musical journey with us. He went from not knowing anything about the DAW to becoming a great producer utilizing his natural singing ability and talent. While I am very sad that he has passed away, I know he was a man of great faith and is in the promised land today. There is so much more I can say about Mark, and will over time, but for now, I'll just post a link to his Spotify songs he released with the help of his mentors and community of friends in the program. If anyone ever tells you your music isn't important, stay away from them - there is power in music ... Mark's music, and his journey to get to where he released songs, touched many people and is an inspiration to us all. Here's a link to his Spotify page with his songs "Always by my Side" and "Into the Light", both of which hit home today for me. R.I.P. my friend ... see you in Heaven. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qpArhT1mBq5vW0ZfK5seb?si=pfVMUPtTRYOFQ1vuJ_vCyQ

What about sharing the song you wished you wrote. Mine is My Funny Valentine by Rogers and Hart

We always want to encouraging you to create and release music! So, with that in mind, I created a free platform called membershipcollab.com that can help you all better connect with other students in this community for collaboration! In my opinion, collaboration is the #1 way to help increase your skills and grow as a musician, engineer or producer. The new membershipcollab.com platform is a tool all of you can use to connect and work on projects! 1. Create a free account on membershipcollab.com. 2. From there you can post projects and list the roles needed to complete the project. 3. People can apply to work with you or you can search for people/skills to find collaborators. 4. If you're in a paid membership you can always bring these projects to the mentors for extra help. 5. I will create a post at end of each month where we can highlight everyone who completed a project that month. 6. As a community we can give some support to these projects :) It should be a good time! Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck to everyone working on projects in April :) **Let me know in the comments if you encounter any bugs**
