Rock Band Network Intro Video
As I wrote here, the Rock Band Network is a new system launching in beta in August that will allow
bands, studios, and record labels to create and sell playable game
content from their master recordings using the same professional tools
used by our developers. Check out this overview video.
A huge door is opening for indie artist via the development of this technology. I’d like to see the user interface and navigate the integration process myself so I can rate the experience. It could be time consuming but well worth it, especially if you’re one of the first bands to try it.
While having Rock Band available as a new distribution platform is great, artist will still need to focus on the long tail of growth and development. All the other pieces of the puzzle still need to be put in place. Not the least of which is writing songs that people want to pay for…
Another great way for artists/labels/publishers to monetize on the content.
