I have never just blasted my guitar for 10 minutes... if I go that long... I go all the way to the end of the hour. :-)
 
Your name is not Manuel Gottsching, either ... or many others that also do these things. "In Blue" with Klaus Schulze ... but then, Manuel has been doing these long trips for 40 years and he is not easily intimidated.
 

... Broadcast radio rates are not related to internet radio rates as they are determined by estimated market share which more or less equates to listener count. Broadcast rates are per market, and internet rates are per listener.

...
It's still about the same ... but it makes a difference and you know that the hourly rate at KLOS was 130 per hour some 30 years ago, and KTYD's were about 50 per hour ... and most of this has to do with the business community and what they can afford. Ex: In NY $20 dollars is nothing. In Eugene, OR that's almost 3 hours of work and many can not afford it! And this is the part of corporatization in America that is out of order ... HBO still costs $20 bux, in NY or Eugene! But HBO doesn't care, because if they get less customers, at least they are getting their price! THAT is a very tough area that the FCC has been trying to work on, and they have no solution on it and the cable companies do not want the FCC involved.
 
Broadcast rates, radio wise, are very different, but the copyright rate is usually the same ... the number of this or that only defines the advertising rate, more often than not ... I did not see any difference between the KTYD Copyright Rate and KCSB's which is the University station -- though the same area, one is a commercial account and the other is an educational account, and the price of the copyright was the same, but university stations were ruled they had to pay for it as well a long time ago.
 

Both technologies have the inability to accurately audit the use so they just sort of pay enough to stay out of trouble with the auditors.

 
With one difference that helped micro stations beat the FCC ... if it is NOT a commercial entity, there is no money to collect from anywhere, and taking this or that down, will eventually hurt all the freedoms of this and that acts out there, and give exclusive rights to commercial interests only.

All good! Just wrote down my OWN experience, and I have never had any issues on the air or was asked to take things down ... and again ... I seriously believe that if I had played the Rolling Stones, or the Beatles, or Metallica ... that I would have been fined long ago ... however, my lawyer specified to me ... then you file for bankrupcy with an addendum for "malice" from the big company/group that filed the suit, because now they are preventing others from being played!
 
And in my case ... I can list them, and get names and written statements ... which would quickly deteriorate into a simple greed lawsuit ... that those folks can't win ... they just spent money, and there is NONE, or no one, to collect it from ... what they gonna do, sue all those new bands? That would be suicide if it got out!
 
You have to understand ... and KNOW ... what you are doing ... and what you can do ... but even this can be an issue ... sometimes you are just a kid playing your favorites ... I was NEVER doing that ... I KNEW that what I was playing, no one else was ... and there was an audience for it out there ... and I had a good record with it. Just didn't get lucky with the guy that ripped off our company left and right!
 
But, what if you are only playing your band and your friends ... the copyright would not apply to you, because you are not playing anything else ... the law breaks up when those things happen ... and you can't collect money where there isn't any! ... and no lawyer is going to waste his time on it!
 
You could say that this is an advantage for the hermit playing the CHB in the middle of the Sahara Desert, or Death Valley ... but in the end ... it's a dead end ... as may will just say ... he's only listening to himself anyway!

Mosh, 

 " ... but in the end ... it's a dead end ... as may will just say ... he's only listening to himself anyway!"

If its just going to be cakewalk material.... Maybe you could Skype with people from here  interview them or teach whatever your radio show would be 

...use software to record the Skype conversation (they have that) .. Then make a youtube channel dedicated to your show and upload the videos there ... Something along those lines ... All free

It would be cool to have Cakewalk radio. 

I suggested similar long ago; members (only registered SONAR users) having their own public Cakewalk profile with music, video and comments section. But I guess that might be too much for Cakewalk to handle. 

Sorry to go slightly OT; 

But there is Cakewalk TV?, I would like to see it expand to SONAR users; scheduled for weekends that includes official music video releases along with interviews (technical)! 

I remember talk about Cakewalk TV when it was launched. 

Imagine Bapsi as host and guests appearing regularly for the 'Am' Talkback series; it would change 'everything' and definitely keep the Bakers on the edge of their seats.
