Spesh531 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I made a mix of "In the Light" and the two versions of "Everybody Makes it Through" on my YouTube channel. While clearly this mix was never meant to exist, I'm curious to know what others think. Does this union of two different versions work together? Do the harmonies work? Dare I ask, do the double lyrics work? The drone intro is a bit messy (due to how the tracks line up), but once the rest of the band picks up, it's more listenable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Nice try but it's a bit of a mess. Anyway what's with official material on YouTube, is this the way now, everything for free on legit "sites".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like artists are exactly earning millions from physical media anymore. The record labels are free to monetize the videos and earn revenue off of ads. They can also block the video if they so choose. Beyond that the options for the artist earning money are streaming sites like Spotify or iTunes (which is nowhere near as popular as it once was). It's pretty much been this way since the days of Napster so it's not like this is anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 By this point, most bands and record labels view youtube as free publicity, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It (along with social media in general) helps artists gain exposure where they otherwise wouldn't and has helped to cut out the middleman so to speak (ie. aspiring musicians no longer have as much of an incentive to go around to record companies begging to be signed so they can get their music out to others). It's also a double-edged sword because these days, touring is the main way that artists earn money. Otherwise, they're getting table scraps. But these sites are here to stay (for now and the foreseeable future anyway) and the situation isn't going to change, so the artists and labels might as well embrace them for what they are.
