There surely wont be CD anymore, it will be all online sales, just look at the sales of disc men, if no one is buying disc men why are they buying CDs then

The fact is that most people, even within the music industry do not have any answers when asked how the industry will advance. Everybody is aware that something needs to change but what?
Bands can now record such great quality demos, better quality than a lot of releases from the past and many Indie labels will market this music for a percentage. Really though, if the artist is taking care of everything includind medea supplies they only actually need exposure and a platform to sell for.
Leaping Cat Records lead the way with this, hopefully other labels will see the way forward is not to pitch musicians against each other in unhealthy competition for a small slice of the action. The way forward is for musicians to work together, bands can sell CDs much cheaper if there is nobody taking a cut and why is there a need for anyone to take a cut?
By now you are probably thinking "how can a record label earn money without taking a cut?" The simple fact is that there are other ways, it's just a case of letting go of the old ideas and allowing yourself to be open to the new. Leaping Cat Records are to run a series of seminars for musicians and a seperate series for industry professionals where all will be revealed. How bands can promote each other while earning money for themselves and for their label. How the fruits of that mass promotion can, without compromise, be reaped by the musicians and how this also feeds the label.
This isn't a theory, it's already a working model.
