Pressing and packaging in Grime.

[Jack Aggy]

i think it would be a good idea to have a section explaining the process of packaging and pressing (as well as distribution and that) on Grimegenre or here.

Though i understand the principal of it, ideas where to go to get it done and all that is unclear. so...erm fireaway please.

Good idea really as it could help alot of people trying to push there music.

There's a dvd called The Industry with quite a few peopl from the grime scene on it that came out a couple of years ago which tells you everything you need to know. Watched it the other night for the first time in ages and it was very inciteful.

If we work it out on here, then it would be an excellent thing to put on to the pedia.

'Help With Releases'

Ill canvass opinion from Artists/Designers I know as Im not sure who to contact who could give advice but we could do it on a few things.

Great idea

i feel all proud now :)

i was trying to figure all this shit out and googling, and going on all these websites to see if i could figure it out, but it doesnt help you out too tough at all.

i was just tryna figure out how to get packaging and cd printing done, but its crap for info.

Scratcha who posts here might know a thing or two, he's put a CD out, works in a studio and DJ's lol - like does everything.

Was gonna say he don't MC but he did a war report as well LOL.

yea, and maybe add 2 dat, if u want 2 start producing: Good starting point

same with DJing.. e.g what equipment to buy, how to start up properly. etc

[Grimes]

too deep in the business

[ZDOT]

ye it would be a good section to have, expand peoples knowledge on the buissness side of things

['nuum general]

a "getting started" section would be a good idea imo. Theirs enough emcees, producers & promoters on the forum who could give an insight. Also maybe a contacts list eg with studios, record shops & pressing plants would help people

I think you should do the process for a generic Grime CD.

i.e. What Cd to choose, and an example of this cd from the grime industry. I Think one of the best examples to use is freedom of speech as it seems to have the most stuff included with it.

also i think an artwork temlpate should be explained. i found one on some site but did not have a clue of what bit was the front cover, back, inside back thingy etc.(im sure this is your area of expertise :))

and links to known pressing plants, Logans input would be useful here too.
