EMAIL FROM NANO RECORDS

hi Phil

The music released on Nano Records is produced by our Artists, who are all engineers and producers themselves.
Most have home based studios, with 1 or 2 exceptions who have pro studios outside of home.

All music is produced using either Logic or Cubase, with different artists preferring different platforms.
Most of our UK artists use Apple Logic, while South African artists mostly seem to use Steinberg Cubase as their preferred DAW.
They then use varying synths and efx outboard and plugins depending on what they own or prefer using.

Once they finish a track/s they either take them for mastering or give them to us at the label and we sort out mastering.
we work with various mastering studios, in the UK, SA, Israel.

At the same time of mastering we have artwork produced.

Once we receive the Mastered Music files, we either send the master + artwork to our maunfacturer to create the cd, or we compile a digital ep which gets sent to our digital distributor.

CD
once CDs are made, they get sent to our distributor, Arabesque, who send the CD to shops, online stores, and other music outlets.

Digital
once InGrooves (our digital distributor) has everything they need from us for a release they load it into their system which makes the music available to download stores like Beatport, iTunes, eMusic, Myspace and more.
this is where we are currently focussing 90% of our attention.
digital sales and online marketing are the way of Now, not the future, altho some people are still catching up.
there is still room for releasing CD's but not for too much longer. certainly not for such a small niche market at the psy trance scene.
going online & digital actually makes available a lot of new and exciting avenues to focus on and we are very keen to work within this medium and drive fwd the scene and music we love via these channels

cool mate, hope thats answers some of ya ques
all the best
