"Think about this the next time you fire up Spotify or your music streaming service of choice. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, streaming accounts for 83% of music revenue about $12.4 billion in 2021. The share of that revenue though that went to the musicians, the producers and other music industry workers. As well, not even close to 12% $1 billion. And that, especially for independent musicians, just ain't paying the bills, which helps explain why there's a new organized labor movement in the music industry. It's called the union for musicians and allied workers. Joel Jerome is an indie musician he's an engineer, also an organizer with that union. Joel, thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Just because it's been a while since we've talked to indie music and the pandemic on this program. What is life like now? For those in your line of work as mostly normalcy returns. While still still treading water and still trying to figure out how to make ends meet for most working musicians right now. The shutdown really affected musicians, form of income, which was touring and playing shows. So, you know, we've had to adjust and things are slowly coming back to life, but still not happy that there's still issues with safety and health and all that stuff, but we have to do what we have to do to make money. So let's talk streaming now, streaming has never been, shall we say, a consequential source of revenue for musicians, it's literally tenths or hundreds or thousands of pennies per stream. What kinds of conversations are you having with the big streamers who are making boatloads of money? Well, unfortunately, it's not much conversation. They're not really listening to us. We work in smaller artists mostly independent artists. So our voices and as loud as let's say someone bigger like a Taylor Swift or a Paul McCartney, there's noise in the UK side. About streaming and thankfully they have a lot of larger artists who are contributing their voice to that, which is bringing the attention to their legislative process, but over here it's a little tougher for us. So we we've tried to reach out and have conversations, but unfortunately that's not really possible, so we've looked into other ways to make things happen and legislatively. We figured that was the best way to go about it. So that's what we've been working on. Have you called like Beyoncé and Taylor and said, we need you to help us out? You know, we have plans for that reach out. We have other artists who are like a little bit not as quiet on that level, but we definitely see this as an issue for all artists who make money through streaming because they're honestly not being paid enough. And so eventually hopefully when we got our numbers in order and everything else in order is this is a new union. We're still getting our bearings and learning how to do all this. We'll definitely reach out and try to get the larger artists on board as well. Tell me if you don't mind sharing. How much you made from streaming in the last like 6 months. You, you, not you in the artist. Right. Me personally, while, well, if I look at my receipts, I get like maybe I think I got a $100 in streaming royalties over the, I don't know for a three month period. I mean, it's really nothing. It's so minuscule that it's ridiculous. I wonder why you think this is your moment because as I said a minute ago, you know, streaming has been not very remunerative for indie artists for a very long time. Why are you optimistic now? Well, that so much optimistic, but is it something has to change and we have to address these issues in these inequalities? I mean, our work in our labors what drives that this industry and which seem to be benefiting the least. The pandemic really shone a light on it because of all our other forms of revenue kind of got cut away and streaming is now the dominant way people get music. It's basically also killed other revenue streams for us, whether it's downloads or physical sales or whatnot. And so this is our only main fight right now because it's the biggest way we could be making we should be making more money as a music economy is growing and growing. It's not growing the artists incomes aren't growing at all. So we need to change that. Joel Jerome is an Indian musician, a music worker, as he says, also an

He's the first Asian born artist to ever reach the number one spot on the billboard R&B hip hop albums chart. Wow. That's great. Yeah. I want to know why he called himself filthy Frank.

"While the difference might be noticeable between the perfect sound system and a portable MP3 player most people just wanted to be able to hear the songs they liked in an easy to carry format And as long as the compression wasn't really ruining the song it was fine You know it might not be the best quality you might not get the levels of base or trouble that you would get with a really good stereo system But if the song sounds like a song in general then that was good enough Meanwhile things would get worse for audio files because of a trend in music that was being affected by compression a different type of compression online music forums were starting to erupt around the same time period With conversations about music being louder than it had been before that the actual recordings being pressed to CD were at a volume greater than previous generations of music So if you put a CDN and you set the volume on your CD player it lets say 5 out of ten And you're playing a CD of older music then it might be a comfortable listening experience But then you put in a more recent album and it would suddenly be too loud to listen to you You would have to adjust the volume Well compression was having a big effect on the quality of music The conversation was really about the dynamic nature of sound and music And most people refer to dynamic as a range of sounds in their loudness So really kind of a range of volume A dynamic song therefore would have quiet components and loud components And there should be a pretty decent range between the two And ideally you should be able to hear all of it based on the way the music is constructed and recorded Now Emmanuel deity actually did an analysis of music from the 1970s up through 2010 to see whether or not music as a whole really did get louder and less dynamic He published the findings on the website sound on sound dot com and found that yeah music did get louder The dynamic question is actually a little more complicated But he traced the trends in music finding that as time went on music recordings were getting louder And that at the same time the range between the peak loudness and the median loudness of the songs was decreasing So in other words in earlier music you might get a few moments of loudness But most of the time the median volume was lower So you had a range there And later songs the peak wasn't necessarily much higher than the median So the loudest sound was not that different from the median sound And that meant there was less dynamic range at least according to this volume approach And some people argued it led to a homogenous noisy less interesting sound overall I drew the actually found there was more loudness range than people typically imagined in that more recent music But it gets super technical Now the reason for that wasn't just that it was a change in taste for music but that was part of it It was also in the nature of compression and what people referred to as digital brick walls Now essentially to get music that loud you had to put a hard upper limit on the loudest noise because the CD could only replicate so loud of a noise before you'd start getting distortion like clipping or other artifacts But that compression would also mean that it would square off the peaks in sound It would create a digital version of distortion that would only appear in the recorded version If you were able to listen to the original decompressed version it would sound very very different So you could do that to create an effect on purpose but a lot of people just found that it was having a negative impact on the quality of sound overall This by the way is not the same thing as MP3 compression with this recording compression We're talking about compressing the upper and lower limits of a sound's loudness We're not talking about compressing a digital file size Now I mentioned this because you'll often hear music fans talk about how compression has had a negative impact on music But they are frequently talking more about the production side of music and not necessarily on the end digital file format but for the record both processes can have a negative impact on the final quality of a sound And the loudness wars were largely brought about because the CD form factor and the trend to push the limits of the levels of loudness that CDs and CD players could handle It wasn't on the digital file side at all But let's get back to those digital files It's really what I was talking about in this episode anyway The recording industry tried lots of different tactics to try and stop the flood of leaks and downloads as album sales began to decline And the industry had been on a trend enjoying a decade of incredibly robust sales As soon as the CD had premiered it was starting to already gain momentum It would overtake cassettes And then it would eclipse previous sales figures of cassettes and vinyl doing gangbuster business for the recording industry It was and a great time to be the head of a recording label But after that once those heyday years had passed the industry started looking at these declines And it was a really harsh wake up call to see those numbers go the other way And the companies were not just going to take this lying down Many tried various digital rights management strategies to protect the music under their labels They tried to protect CDs the famous one being Sony when it backfired on them But there were others that tried different methods as well in an effort to limit how people could use digital files But typically that would just mean hackers would find the DRM and strip it out of the music files and share it anyway The other big move that organizations like the Recording Industry Association of America or IAA that they took was legal action And boy howdy did they go all out in that realm The targets didn't just include services like napster that enabled file sharing on a grand

A tour called an evening with adele begin may two thousand eight and ended in june two thousand nine fairly successful tour Did did really well however She cancelled a lot of the two thousand eight. Us dates on tour to be with her former boyfriend In june two thousand nine issue of nylon magazine. She said quote. I'm like. I can't believe i did that. It seems so ungrateful. I was drinking far too much and that was kind of the basis for my of my relationship with this boy. I couldn't bear to be without him so i was like well. I'll just cancel my stuff. Then i'll cancel my world tour to be with this guy who's sh nineteen something. Nineteen you get love struck and it gets in the way apparently but it. It almost killed her. Us success it was. It was so devastating to what how successful she has been since then in the. Us did it. Could've it could've absolutely crippled that. But she had a very successful appearance on saturday night. Live in late two thousand eight and it gave her a huge boost highest ratings for the show in seventeen years the two thousand nine grammy awards. She went awards for best new artist and best female pop vocal performance for nineteen and best won awards. Not grammy's but at one awards for the best jazz album as well It went to number four in the states number one in the uk and in the highest. Accolade that you can imagine at the time. According to beyond say she said it influenced her next album so that has to be high praise right because who runs the world girls exactly but we aren't here to talk about nineteen though are we so do want to say though. Del obviously went on after this to be very successful. I think cover her. Success is before we jump back into twenty one quick. They're quite extensive. Oh yes she sold over one hundred and twenty million records white Making her one of the best selling musicians of all time depending on the numbers ego with it is somewhat. It'd definitely top twenty. It's somewhere between seventeen and eleven. She's one fifteen grammy awards. She's one nine brit awards fifteen. She wanted academy award a golden globe and brit award for the single of the year for the theme song to the james bond film sky fall which he co wrote and performed billboard ours artist of the year in twenty eleven twenty twelve. Am to two thousand sixteen. She was named songwriter of the year by the british academy of songwriters composers and authors twice in two thousand twelve in two thousand sixteen twenty twelve. She was listed as number five on. Vh one's one hundred greatest women in music and time magazine named her one of the most influential women in the work world in twenty twenty one and observed twenty twelve and twenty sixteen. That's insane that is bonkers and this is i mean you got to remember too. She's not thirty. Yes she's she's it at issue just now thirty. I think she's just this year turning thirty. That's insane eight. No so she's thirty. Three thirty three zero. Sorry but still. Yeah good lord. She still got forty years. Forty solid years left rate. Turn out some records. That's nutsy have more about no. Let's go and let's talk about. This album does twenty one. Yeah released on january twenty fourth twenty eleven as defined as a sleeper hit Because apparently the record company that She was with xl which was an independent record label which they basking in the cash. I'm sure Had fairly modest expectations for the record. That statement alone is a bit surprising because last album won grammys. Yeah sold several million copies. Like i mentioned and she was poised for really great things so they call it a sleeper. I copied this next part directly from the internet. Because when i read it i was shocked. I mean i knew it was a mega hit. But i had no idea really. Just how big it really was. So this next part. It topped record charts in more than thirty countries and became the world's best selling album of the year for both twenty eleven and twenty twelve helping revitalize the lagging sales of the global music industry in the united kingdom. It is the best selling album the twenty first century the second best selling album of all time and the best selling album by a solo artist of all time while it's twenty three week tenure atop the uk album charts is the longest by female solo artist in the united states. The album helped position for twenty four weeks longer than any other album. Since nineteen eighty five and the longest by a female solo artist in billboard two hundred history it was certified diamond by the recording industry association of america indicating ten million units recorded sold in the us in addition three of the five singles released in its promotion rolling in the deep. Someone like you and set fire to the rain. Became international number one songs while rumor has it charted in the top twenty in countries across europe north america with sales of over thirty one million copies worldwide. Twenty one is the best selling album of the twenty first century and one of the best selling homes of all time. Oh yeah i mean. Take a moment to digest that for a second. This record is more or less credited for saving the music industry for the time being at least Before the ubiquitous -ness of streaming and the availability of free music on youtube. The industry was suffering. You know suffering for names and quality and she provided both People seem to think that this was the harbinger of things to come. statements like this seem to indicate that thought process there are two approaches to the To the business of being noticed by today's record buying public the first revolves around oodles of hype and ever more preposterous wardrobe selections. The second requires the confidence to let your music do the talking amazingly given preconceived notions about america's supposed preference for style over substance. It is the second of these two sales techniques which appear to be working better or this one. Twenty-one appealed to baby boomers nostalgic for etta james carole king and dusty in memphis. It also appealed to teen struggling with the first thing of heartbreak hipsters. Who missed amy. Wine-house traditionalist weary of synthesizers and vocal effects and non pop fans who simply found it refreshing to hear a singer belt out her blues with conviction by singing. Almost exclusively about relationship gone wrong. Adele made songs that anyone could identify with. Twenty one wasn't niche marketed. Who was made for everyone. And everyone listened. Oh yeah a lot of people. Consider this album to be the beginning of the paid digital music era Because before this you could buy digital music but most people were just bootlegging it. Most people were getting it off napster and Like lime wire and illegal websites and things like that. This is kind of the turning point for that because it is still a little bit like you said it's a little bit before streaming. It's not quite there yet but this was one of the first albums to do phenomenally well with online digital only sales and obviously they were physical versions of this album as well but it did amazingly. Well yeah did then. I agree that all of those things are true. But i feel like unfortunately i don't think it lasted no because right now ten years after its release. Everything is niche marketed. Now and music for the most part and there are some exceptions is just as boring as it was before adele came on the scene and i would like to think that i speak for a lot of people when i say. When is your next record coming out because i think that's severely lacking right now. Is someone with that power like to to kinda take the music industry by.

"We saw an increase twenty twenty an increase of about twelve percent in sales in store. We were closed for three months. We started slowing down at the beginning of the pandemic. And then we had a close and emma reopened river slow and then people started coming out again and then sales went up. Tony and stacey seminar are the owners of depot records in lawrenceville. So you guys would agree that music fans turn to vinyl during the pandemic absolutely so what are they buying when they come to depot their lawrenceville. What our music fans buying. It's a mix it's sixty percent. Classic rock and forty percent newar artists a lot of the vinyl. The newer artists drop are limited releases and almost considered collectible and then on the flip side. We have a lot of people new vinyl that are just buying the classic rock. The pink floyd the led zeppelin's We increase in like yellow. That kind of stuff to stuff. That's been in movie soundtracks that people like and they're just coming into this at her this on the radio. I heard this movie. do you have this. The recording industry association of america has released his numbers and it says that vinyl sales are outpacing. cd's and tony. You were telling me off the air. When did this start. Twenty nineteen was the first time a vinyl exceeded cd of physical for physical media sales. I was the second half of twenty nineteen vinyl exceeded cd sales for the first time. And you as a record store owner attributed this to the the sound of vinyl or tell me what the appeal is part of the appeal. I believe is the warmth of the sound that you get from vinyl record that you just do not get from digital media. Part of it is physically being able to hold a record and look at liner notes that you can actually read on twelve by twelve sheet of paper. Does any of this have to do with it. Being kind of a fad. Or is it back for good. We thought possibly five years ago when we opened. But we may make a run of this for a couple years. i don't see it being fad. So you guys would agree that silver lining from the entire co- vid pandemic. Was that record. Stores local record stores like depot records in lawrenceville thrived. I believe so yes. We have I think part of it is as more people are staying at home. The way people listened to music is changing back to the way it used to be there. There's not as much get in the car drive. Throw something on your iphone now. People are actually making listening to music an event even if they're doing it on their own they're sitting in their living rooms. They're sitting in their basements putting on that piece of vinyl and enjoying themselves tony and stacy's seminary are the owners of depot records. It's on north clayton in lawrenceville. Thank you so much for joining me and can people find you online as well. Yes we're on facebook depot records. You can find some facebook or on twitter and instagram and our website is deeper records dot com. There's not much on the website. 'cause we prefer people in store actually seen the vinyl but if we get a lot of the sealed items will put that on the website but we do prefer you come in in person and feel and look at the vinyl and play it. Yeah we also have a turntable setup so anybody can play anything they want when they come in to tested out make sure plays okay or they say what is this we can pop it on so they can listen to it Some people are surprised. You know what it is like. Oh that's a really good ever. What is that s really weird but so yeah we encourage people to definitely look at divino. Feel the vinyl and test. Anything out they want to.

"Has been missing for a while now Tight curtis saying. I love your music. I love all the things that you have contributed. Thanks kate webb ewing. What do you think about the r. I. a. the record industry association of america which basically is something that i wanted to talk about with the music rights. Now kind of thing. I've been giving everybody to sign off on this. Fill out this form. Because basically what i'm trying to do is have along with other people to protect our rights as musicians producers writers that kind of thing when it comes to piracy on the internet. I mean all the all the file. Sharing sites are just basically ripping millions and millions of dollars away from all these these either struggling musicians or singers record companies as it is now but it seems like The is more interested in suing people to benefit itself as a organization and not really protecting the financial interests of contact creators to the point. That a lot of people are actually quitting the record labels and releasing their music Free as the wind and trying to make their money from playing concerts are from playing merchandise sales doing it. That's where most of the indies stuff has happened. But still when you're doing the independence stuff you still. You're you're just as susceptible as everybody else getting ripped off on the internet. We need some kind of protection. I think europe has it. China has written a whole bunch of other countries. Have where we're protected here. We don't have that. And why do you think that's different there. I don't know it's just part of that. Whole how is how is europe protecting musicians. Well i think that the piracy thing. That's going on with them. Is that they really. They're really really serious. Cracking down on all these time sharing sites that are gone around. And there's so many of them. I think that brazil had probably has so many of them. I hear from people all the time about all your stuff out here. It's here it's here and it's like having it hasn't been out there for a week but people are already taking it. You're not buying it. They're taking it right. That's what the differences i mean. You've got to pay the rent. Well everybody does you know and it's not just you. It's the people that you employ to help you so look. I wanna make some tony's next week okay. people. I still has it. I mean obviously file sharing has impacted. You and your career is music. Everybody actually produce. Oh where are you making your money from now a lot of it actually dabble in a lot of things. I mean i also. Dj shows around the country even outside the country as well so the means of support comes from a lot of different types. I mean i myself still have. I mean when you're dealing with my old catalog as well. I still see all my residuals dummy. Did you guys actually know a lot of people. Don't know this either. I did music for sex in the city when when the show is actually working. Oh wow yeah. They were spots. We've had like minute minute. Spots thirty second spot sixty seconds spots of music and there's some some of them are club tracks are instrumental laidback paneth things. These are things that are actually part of the jessica. Parker is still paying you. actually i'd say. Hbo and the rest of the whole clan. So i'm gonna own that we'll see but you get to see that this is just a part of who i am you see. Dj and making remixes and stuff is a great passion but also extends. It's too many different other things around me. I just love creating music and for people to steal. It really gets my goat. Do you play any instruments yourself. I play a little bit of keys. I'm not a fanatic with it. I used to play trombone in high school. I used to be jazz band. So i can. I know the values is not music and stuff like that. But i've been more of an engineer. More that way more china musician that i can actually put. I'm really good about my ears have never failed me and what. What is your favorite way to record. An engineer are you like are you. Pro tools guy. Logic audio pro tools. hd guy really yes and you have what interface do use and that people are three of them. What interface are you using. I have to ninety-six is ninety six. I o the problem with these large old and box. You got back there. Nineteen sixty seven words. I have one of those a friend of mine. It's really really good. I always believed their products. That i think they've been great for anybody listening from deji or avid. They're not going to send me a thing. We're recording this show on pro tools. The thing that drives me crazy. And i've said this to the people that run pro tools to their faces said your technology has not really significantly being upgraded in the last ten years. You may have thrown this little bell whistle. But i want faster than real time rendering can can i get an amen. Yeah but for as long as audio record. That's how long it takes to render before we can. I'm like every other audio editing. The last girl. Because i don't spend money. Invite one see Well it's a legacy issue you know at the time when we started podcast fast. Is that laptop. You have in front. It's a very fast laptop. What is it speed intel. okay power. We're gonna talk about technology. No no no. It's the same the same laptop so six gigahertz and do i have the same machine. And and if i were running this on on logic which is a goal of me actually to abandon pro tools because i get no love from digit design and welcome to the anti section really. Yeah psyched bashed as say it's like what are you guys waiting for because people are leaving pro tools to go to other audio production sweet well like like logic because i i laugh. I like the fact that a lot of trained engineers musicians are still using pro tools. But i think the tape days. Yeah okay and the trust pro tools get a session like just. Recently i did christina aguilera thing. I get session from them. I'm getting the full recording of what's going on. I get to hear everything and the cool thing about it. Is that the entire in my industry. The languages so universal when it comes to pro tools. When this setting me. Maltese or stems on stuff. It's so easy to open and work on. You know. I meant that at that level. But if you're doing something else you know and it's works your rendering anything until you're at the end. Well i'm yeah. I'm still doing it. I'm working with audio all the time. But it's going to be a four minute song like pro two hundred seven eight minutes dealing with forty forty minutes. Maybe ask pro tools as a film soundtrack engineering program. And i'm like that's talking about the higher end stuff you know and it's like look with logic audio you don't need to spend five thousand dollars to get yourself and audio editing suite. Two engineer phil. That's another reason why. Hd another reason why hd does work from us 'cause hd and we'll just jump on something ask hd for me it just the quality of sound coming out of those cards has been amazing well and so Mackey has come out with their own independent audio. The ons one's ever got a chance to work with those at all. No i actually. I almost bought one But i i had. I had a mackey thirty two by eight board that actually recording all the time when it started using pro tools hd realize. I really didn't need that board anymore. I mean because basically back as far as early as early ninety in mid all the way through. Now i was using this board and i was separating all these instruments and recording all my final mixes to a dad. Wow we caught up. Sorry.

"The difference might be noticeable between the perfect sound system and a portable MP three Blair most people just want to be able to hear the songs they liked in an easy to carry format. And as long as the compression wasn't Really ruining the song. It was fine. You know, it might not be the best quality. You might not get the levels of base or trouble that you would get with a really good stereo system. But if the song sounds like the song in general Then that was good enough. Meanwhile, things would get worse for audio files because of a trend in music that was being affected by compression, a different type of compression. Online music forums were starting to erupt around the same time period with conversations about music being louder than it had been before that the actual recordings being pressed to see D we're at a volume greater than previous generations of music, so If you put a CD en and you set the volume on your CD player, it let's say five out of 10 and you're playing us a a CD of older music, then it might be a comfortable listening experience. But then you put in a more recent Album and it would suddenly be too loud to listen to, you would have to adjust the volume. Well. Compression was having a big effect on the quality of music. See, the conversation was really about the dynamic nature of sound and music, and most people refer to dynamic as a range of Sounds and their loudness so really kind of Ah, range of volume. A dynamic song, therefore would have Quiet components and loud components, and there should be a pretty decent range between the two and ideally, you should be able to hear all of it based on the way the music is constructed and recorded. Now Emanuel Derek. He actually did an analysis of music from the 19 seventies up through 2010 to see whether or not music as a whole really did get louder and less dynamic. He published the findings on the website Sound on sound calm and found that Yeah, Music did get louder. The dynamic question is actually a little more complicated. But he traced the trends and music, finding that as time went on music recordings were getting louder and that at the same time, the range between the peak loudness and the median loudness of the songs was decreasing. So in other words, in earlier music, you might get a few moments of loudness. But most the time the The median volume was lower. So you had arranged there and later songs. The peak wasn't necessarily much higher than the median. So the loudest sound was not that different from the median sound. And I mean there was less dynamic range, at least according to this volume approach, and some people argued it led to a homogeneous, noisy, less interesting sound overall. Majority actually found there was more loudness range than people typically imagined in that more recent music, but it gets super technical now. The reason for that wasn't just that it was a change in taste for music, but that was part of it. It was also in the nature of compression and what people refer to as digital brick walls. Now, essentially to get music that loud you had to put a hard upper limit on the loudest noise. Because the city could only replicate so loud of a noise before you start getting distortion, like clipping or other artifacts. But that compression would also mean that it would square off the peaks in sound. It would create a digital version of distortion that would only appear in the recorded version. If you were able to listen to the original Decompressed version. It would sound very, very different. So you could do that to create in effect on purpose. But a lot of people just found that it was having a negative impact on the quality of sound over all. This, by the way is not the same thing is MP three compression. With this recording compression. We're talking about compressing the upper and lower limits of a sounds loudness. We're not talking about compressing a digital file size. I mention this because you'll often hear music fans talk about how compression has had a negative impact on music. But they're frequently talking Maura about the production side of music and not necessarily on the end digital file format. But for the record, both processes can have a negative impact on the final quality of the sound and the allowed this wars were largely brought about because the CD form factor and the trend to push the limits of the levels of loudness that CDs and CD players could handle. It wasn't on the digital file side at all. But let's get back to those digital files. That's really what I was talking about. In this episode, anyway, the recording industry tried lots of different tactics to try and stop the flood of leaks and downloads is album sales began to decline, and the industry had been on a trend enjoying a decade of incredibly robust sales as soon as the CD had Premiered. It was starting to already gained momentum. It would overtake cassettes, and then it would eclipse previous sales figures of cassettes and vinyl doing Gangbuster business for the recording industry. It was And a great time to be the head of a recording label. But After that, once those heyday years had passed. The industry started looking at these declines, and it was a really harsh wake up call to see those numbers go the other way, and the companies were not just going to take this lying down. Many tried various digital rights management strategies to protect the music under their labels. They tried to protect CDs, the famous one being Sony when it backfired on them. But there were others that tried different methods as well in an effort to limit how people could use digital files, But typically, that would just mean hackers would find the DRM and strip it out of the music files and shared anyway.
