im about to release my music very soon [ 1 month mebbe ] and i make fullon / mornin psy trance ...

i have other options also to earn a living , but i choose trance coz this is wat my heart and brain tells me to do

now wat i really wanna know is tht , inspite of soo much piracy and mp3 file sharing and trading , is there enuff money in this line for artists to earn a decent living ??

or must i look out for other options as well as trance to earn my daily bread n butter .. ?

guys , pls dont take me wrong here ..
i do make trance out of my pure passion n love for music , but this fact also cannot be avoided tht in order to survive in 2days world , good money is a priority...

so all i wanna know is tht do singles / album releases and dj/ live sets earn artists enuff so tht they can only concentrate on music , and think how to set the dancefloors on fire ??? hehehe ...

bye and take care ...           http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTPJuMSwzUQ

You can only find out once you get started.
Some acts are definitely making that kind of money and more, but they are the few lucky ones that can do that, ie. concentrate on their music and not worry about outside incomes. Don't give up your other money-making options until you see yourself what kind of money the music will bring in for you; and this moment will most probably not come right away.           Load Universe into Cannon. Aim at Brain. Fire.

If you really wana make money as being an artist from this scene, you better do a good research on it dude. If it is a decent living ( i dont know what constitutes decent for you ) i am pessimistic about living your everyday life as an artist. I think nomolos has said it nicely, dont quit ur day job. And best of luck if you wana pursue your goals an artist, it would be hard but hey nothing comes easy

$2000 is a long shot for a new comer. You'll be lucky if you get over $500 dollars for 1 track on a compilation, especially since you don't own monitors

peace...

AFAIK there are many more artists today (other than GMS) that are living of their music (releases/DJ sets etc.). only one thing - you can be "on top" one day, and forgotten by the next. I geuss what I'm saying is don't quit anything yet...
good luck!!!

Ah, all the answers in this thread have been a little vague so I'll give you a straight one.

There is no way you will make $US 2000 a month from psychedelic trance. At least, not for a couple of years. If you work really hard for a few years, and have serious talent and lots of passion, then there is a chance that, just maybe, you might be able to earn more than $US 2000 a month. This would mean getting about two gigs a month and releaseing a track on a comp almost monthly and an album of your own at least once a year - so let's say once you're getting to the stage of getting 20+ tracks released a year and playing 20+ gigs a year, then maybe, if you're good, you'll be getting $US 2000 a month for this. But it will take many years to get to that point.

Oh, and that's also assuming you're releasing on labels that pay you what they promise, and playing for promoters that pay you what they promise. :-)

AFAIK, almost no one makes money being a Trance artist (I said almost).

Best of luck though, maybe you'll be one of the few

First, you must be signed in a good label, and from the contarct you could see how much money you'll get every mounth.
But, even if you signed in a good label.
I don't think you could make enough money from releasing albums..
The real monney coming from playing in parties, if you are a good D.J and you can make good live sets (you''ll get double pay for those) you could earn nice sallery.
But not for your whole life....

P.S
why you guys, always takin GMS for example?!
look at skazi, I think he making much more money then them...

GTN before making money i suggest you try to make good music.And if you want to make more than 2000 USD per month then i suggest you spent a couple of years in learning how to make very good music.All the artists that make good money from their music and leave out of it in our days are people that spent a lot of time and effort in their production skills,not to mention spending quite few money for their equipment and studio.

So instead of figuring out how to make money try and experiment on how to make good music.Money will come sooner or later.

P.S 1 Some of you guys just bitch all the time and drive this thread offtopic.If you want to complain about Skazi or Alien Project or everyone else then please start a new thread and do just that but PLEASE dont destroy every thread in this forum complaining about the same things.Especially threads like this one where a guy asks for advice and help concerning his music future.

P.S 2 If GMS charged 500 USD for a track then i would sign and release all of their albums.           Toodaloo Motherfuckers!!!!!
