Woo-hoo, an #Immersive Blackhole Reverb from Eventide! I believe this #plugin is rather interesting and we see the trend of new #Tools going further to spatial sound. Which is understandable...even Apple Music now pays more to artists who #Release #spatialaudio in their store.

"...allowing artists to lock individual pieces of audio content, and charge for access to it, could be a new way for Spotify to let artists generate potentially significant additional revenue from superfans."

Global music streams grew by 33.7% to 7.1tn in 2023 according to Luminate.
That’s 7. 1 trillion music streams last year across the world. The stat comes from research firm Luminate’s 2023 Year-End Music Report, which was published this week:
• The 7.1tn streams were across audio and video services, with that total up 33.7% year-on-year. Of that total, 4.1tn were on-demand audio song streams, up 22.3%.
• Luminate’s report doesn’t state the video total outright, but it’s easy to calculate from its figures for total streams and audio streams. There were 3tn on-demand video song streams in 2023, up 63.3% from the 1.9tn in 2022.
• It may be an uncomfortable topic for music rightsholders to think about, but video streams appear to be growing nearly three times faster than audio streams.
• Luminate’s ‘Track Streaming Pyramid’ data is very interesting in the light of Spotify’s decision to not pay royalties to tracks until they reach 1,000 streams in the previous 12 months.
• According to Luminate’s calculations, 152.2m tracks were streamed less than 1,000 times in 2023. That’s a startling 82.7% of all the audio ISRCs that it tracks for this research.

Interesting topics are there.

Points are definitely an interesting idea...
"Songwriters today have it a lot tougher than previously, thanks to streaming. While artists aren’t making a whole lot per stream, songwriters only make about 20% of that, and chances are it’s split with a publisher. Now a number of small labels have pledged to offer songwriter points, or a royalty derived from the master streaming revenue."

Completely agree with Bobby Owsinski 2024 prediction. The future should be a mixture of technologies, talent and discovery.

I agree with Maarten on new #Music economies to grow new fields of #MusicIndustry.
We are building #PublMe since 2020.
Music needs quality and value. #Musicians need #Monetization. Everyone needs support.
"Music drives our lives, we all know this. And yet music gets continually devalued. It’s there, and then - due to its sonic properties - it dissipates. When we are able to capture music in a solid form, it can retain and grow its value... But, we cannot live without music just like we can’t live without oxygen." https://musicx.substack.com/p/we-need-new-music-economies
