Making a Scene Presents - The Indie Advantage: How AI Levels the Playing Field in the StudioAccess to Major-Label Tech, at HomeImagine being in a major label studio in the 1990s: racks of outboard gear, professional engineers, weeks of tracking, mixing, and mastering. For most indie artists, that meant compromise: cheaper rooms, fewer takes, less time, less polish. But today, AI is giving indie musicians the power to access that kind of technology in a very different

Audius Introduces Artist Coins!Think of an Artist Coin like a digital fan-club pass. You make a coin under your artist name on Audius. Fans can buy it inside Audius.

Making a Scene Presents Rethinking Crowdfunding for the Indie Musician in a Decentralized Music IndustryWhy rethink crowdfunding?Let’s begin with a simple question: when you ask fans for money to make an album or go on tour, is that “donation” or “investment”? Traditional tools treat it like donation: you promise perks (a signed CD, a shout-out, backstage passes). But the fan gives you money up front, hoping you deliver. That’s okay, but it doesn’t change the relationship: you’re asking, “Will you
