Welcome to Gigmor Jams!

Welcome to Gigmor Jams!

I can’t tell you how excited we are to announce the launch of Gigmor Jams – an easy way to manage your jam sessions, rehearsals, workshops and auditions within the Gigmor platform.

This is the first step in creating a best-in-class set of band management tools that will help you take your career to the next level!

To start, we’re going to launch in beta in the Los Angeles market. During this 3-4 week period, we’re going to put Gigmor Jams through its paces and fine tune it based on member feedback so we can make sure everyone has a first class experience when we launch it nationally in the U.S. and Canada.

Since this is a new piece of functionality, I wanted to provide a quick “How To Create A Jam” for everyone’s easy reference. It really is super simple – whether you’re creating a Jam on your desktop/laptop or mobile device. It even comes with pictures!

FYI – we’re working on a mobile app so we totally appreciate your patience. It’s coming, we promise!

Add in some “Location Characteristics.” In other words, include the information that you feel is important for having a successful Jam. In my case, I’ll provide the PA, the guitar amp – there is parking at the rehearsal studio – and if you like to smoke whatever, I don’t care, but I have sensitive lungs so I prefer to jam without hacking up a lung.

Hit ‘Save’ at the bottom when you’re done.

Is the CD Going Extinct?

The Music Industry Sales Stats Since 1983-2013

The music industry has exploded in the digital space since 2001.  If you look at the data presented in the chart, the adaptation in music listening is going completely digital.  Ever since cars stopped making vehicles with cassette decks in them, there has been a trend to do the same with cd players.  Yes cars still have cd players.  Although there is an effort to include mp3 connections in vehicles, and the declining popularity in purchasing CD’s.  This begs the question, when will the CD no longer be made?

Check out each individual frame below.
