where would you play if you have a band?, got some good jokes but nobody to tell them to? an entertainment hall or something like that would be useful.

Hello, I have to ask about the music in the game. Due to several posts on the forums with radio stations etc. Will the players be able to upload music tracks of their choice or will there be a certain library to avoid copyrights?

I think it would be a cool idea if you could create a band with other people and play at restaurants, parks, etc. You could have corporations or people pay you to play at their events. Each person in your group could play different instruments and if the band becomes big enough you could sell your music in albums. You could also sign your instrument and sell them to the public.

I have one idea for the practical use of smoking weed ingame, and using other drugs too. The idea is to add value to an artistic craft after having smoked the weed for being high. Like, you get the weed however you wish. Then, when you smoke it and for example make a painting, as long as the crafting is done within the duration of the high, the painting gains a tag that says the creator was high on such n such drug, which in turn adds either a small amount of actual game dynamic value to the original and the painting's prints, along with the social value for having created something artistic while being on whatever drug. This can apply to all drugs and give all artistic creations some game dynamic value to whatever crafted item or musical composition, etc. What do you guys think? Please comment and suggestions.

In the recent review done with Asylum, (found here, http://www.eternagaming.com/exclusive-interview-with-identity/) a concert hall was mentioned that players can rent to host classical, rock, etc. events and I am wondering how many of you besides myself are musicians and would be interested in forming an orchestra to perform in what I'm assuming with be Roseport Performing Arts Center or something along the lines. There is very little information on what kind of instruments will actually be available in Identity, so this could end up being a complete waste of time, (which correctly represents the life of a classical musician anyways). Please let me know with a message with a little bit of info about yourself and we will move on from there!

Will there be Studios where you can record music? Will we be able to make CDs and watch people buy them?

Creating a musicians career would be something most people would want. Actually making it so you can upgrade certain levels of skill on an instrument by doing specific stuff, like...going to music lessons (who would've thought). So you hit a certain point where you can master an instrument. As in real life, people are more skilled than others in music, so making it balanced enough so anyone who puts time into an instrument can master it would be awesome so anyone could make a living out of it. Don't really know if this has been discussed already, but im curious to what others think about this.

Im a guitarist in the real world, can we see bands forming and music playing? Maybe even get popular celebs that people go pay to see at concerts!?

So I searched through the forums but didn't find any posts about the topic. My question is, "will we be able to play music while hosting our own radio stations?" If so, it would be nice to be able to play the music by pasting Youtube or Soundcloud links, which could then be easily accessed by the player listening (If we would want to promote our own or someone else's music). By being able to play music, we would also be able to take requests from players and earn money from those.

I had an idea to be a manager for musicians, singers, and rappers. I hope the idea of being able to put your music on CDs and even get your music on the radio would be awesome! I think it would be cool if musicians or singers could also get gigs at like bars or what not. And my job would be to help get there name out there. I would get all there gigs set up, get their CDs produced, and even get them radio time, the stuff managers do in real life. So if your planning on being a musician, singer, or rapper hmu and I can be your manager!

So I believe I may have mentioned this in the past as a question to if it would be possible, but I love that you guys have decided to make it possible to allow the functionality of radio shows to this! this is brilliant, and precisely what I had mentioned previously and for sure will make social interaction great. But I have a few questions and a possible Idea... THE IDEA/QUESTION : Using the "Second Life" platform as an example of how this is possible, people in there are able to buy a stream via people selling Shoutcast/Icecast, or other streams and use that as their means to hook up to programs such as Mixxx, VDJ, SAMBroadcaster etc... and is fundamentally used throughout anyone doing talk shows or Live Mixing sets to the community... Will this be a similar way in which we will function it to the community in Identity? If so that would be fantastic, since this would allow businesses also within the Shoutcast area, to come to Identity and supply these as a store (if that was possible) In simple terms.... Someone sets up a store in world somewhere Shoutcast/Icecast based > Someone buys a stream from them > The person uses that stream for their show, and can renew that stream over and over with the same seller (weekly/monthly) > that person then uses the bought stream as the link/IP in world to entertain the community. Obviously the only drawback to this is that in Second Life people can use the generated income as real life cash (once transferred) My sole question really is what are the mechanics going to be for users wishing to do Live Talk Shows, and/or Live Djing. Sorry for the random mixmatch of talking, but there's my idea

Hello, I would like to start off by saying I'm new to this forum. I'm looking forward to this game ALOT! The thing that I am probably most interested in doing in this game is becoming a musician. I have a few questions and ideas to improve this career type. Questions: What instruments will there be? Will there be a DAW ( Digital Audio Workstation) in-game? How will music be distributed? Will there be a top songs chart or something along the line? Ideas: I think it would be really cool if people where able to record/produce songs of different genres, rap, pop, EDM, rock, and be able to send it into a record label. This would give people more opportunities to start up businesses, since the labels will be player owned. It would also be cool if the record labels could distribute these records to the people in-game. If a player sells enough records it would be cool if they got an item to put on there wall like a platinum record or something along those lines. Allowing this means you could set up charts to see how sold the most records and so forth. (This would create a whole new industry that the government could tax so the city funds will go up.) Festivals could also become a cool player driven business. Where a player would buy a plot of land and set up a stage and every month or so (When ever they want to do it) pay artist to come up and perform sets. There could be an admission price and this could end up making a lot of money for many players. TL;DR I would love for there be an extensive music industry in this game.

SOOoo (kill me) how do you think radio stations will work ? i know they will be in towns,cities,hills,... but i want to know how will we play music for tje talking i know we just speak in to the mic to give players informations but how will we play music. computers maybe. and the last thing how much will this all cost? and if your radio station is verry popular could you make money by doing that ? comment bellow for your ideas and my radio station will be called RADIO PAKISTAN. (it's a thing)

Title says it all, what music are you expecting to see and what music do you want to see in the game. Since the dev team have stated that there will be actual real life music playing in the game from streams in the web. I personally would love to see some rap/hip-hop music playing from my In-Game car radio. I would also like to see some non English music for those who know another language other than English.

I have been thinking about a music career for this game, and saw an interest in instruments being used in the game on another post. Would anyone else like to see a career focused around being a musician or making a band? I would definitely like to see this become a career in the game. Being able to travel to bars or open venues and play music via the in-game instruments if they are implemented would be really cool. People could be playing in the streets for just tips, or bands could receive loads of money doing a whole concert paid by either citizens or from a city fund. I also think that this would be a good way for people to get together and rp better as a whole. Any suggestions?
