MUSIC 4.1: A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR MAKING MUSIC IN THE INTERNET AGE

Book Synopsis

Today's music industry is constantly changing at a dizzying pace, and this Music 4.1: A Survival Guide for Making Music in the Internet Age is fully equipped to help you navigate it.

With fresh interviews from several of today's successful music industry innovators, Music 4.1 reveals new and proven pathways to success in the new paradigm of the modern music world.
