Hi Wendell,
I've checked all over the place trying to get a copy of your book. The excerpts I've read have been great.
Can you tell me how to find a copy?

DYNAMIC PLUG-IN PROCESSOR

Composer Wendell Hanes (www.volitionsound.com) writes regularly for national advertising campaigns, scores films, and is the author of the new book, The 30-30 Career: Making 30 Grand In 30 Seconds — Producing Music for Commercials (AuthorHouse, 2007). Hanes notes a number of factors that make plug-in compressor/limiters valuable to his everyday workflow. “As a composer, the sound of an instrument is just as important to me as the melody or line I am playing,” he says. “The sound of an instrument influences what I play. Therefore, I try to nail the sound as I am creating melodies. I think plug-ins allow for greater experimentation, especially when time is of the essence. The ability to A/B different settings quickly is very helpful when I am creating a score.

making the mogul

Is there more money in producing for avenues like television and video games as opposed to producing for artists?

Oh yeah. With a 30 second jingle, I can make $30,000. Actually, there’s a book coming out very soon by Wendell Hanes called The 30/30 Career: Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds. I wrote a chapter in there about mixing – the difference between mixing music for records and mixing music for TV. That should be coming out very soon.

MAKING THE MOGUL

Talking with Grammy Winner Steve Pageot
Filed under Interviews, Mogul In The Making, The Business | 10 Comments

Gold and Platinum plaques, a Grammy award and negotiations to work on Michael Jackson’s next studio album - these are credentials anybody would be more than proud of. But this is just the tip of the iceberg for producer/engineer/musician/composer, Steve Pageot. He’s definitely making major moves and is a mogul in the making.

March 17, 2008
Record industry in a slump? There is more than one way to skin a beat. At least that is what award winning producer and composer Wendell Hanes says in his up-coming book, The 30-30 Career:Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds-Producing Music for Commercials!
Hanes has made a living scoring over 500 commercials, promos and show themes in his decade long career, including the well-known “Birth of The Scratch” spot for Heineken. He has worked with every major advertising client you can imagine, from McDonald’s and Pepsi to Mercedes Benz and Nike.
His new company VOLITION SOUND BRANDING creates sound for film and television, and is extending its brand with the book. The two volume set is the most up to date “how to” resource in music composition for the advertising industry, featuring commentary from some of the top names in the game.
“Don’t just wait on the record industry to make money with your music,” advises Hanes.
“Get some of this advertising money and in the process, turn yourself and your company into a brand. The 30 30 Series will show you how.”
The 30-30 Career: Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds-Producing Music For Commercials will be available April 29th on AuthorHouse Publishing .

career opprtunity

I am from California originally, however; currently residing in south Texas due to my work as a Project Engineer for Kiewit Offshore Services. My passion is music; I live and breathe it on a daily basis. Everything I do is geared towards helping me become better at my craft. My dream is to score movies and commercials and soundtracks and things of that nature. I can honestly say that I have an above par creative genius when it comes to making music that touches your soul. Whether it is Hip Hop, R & B or whatever have you, if I listen to it and study it, I can become it and create it. I’ve been trying to figure out how to go about getting into the business of making music for commercials or television for a while now so when I came across your article I was taken back to have found exactly what it was looking for. So the reason for my contacting one of your associates yesterday, and for me contacting you today by e-mail is because your associate told me to yesterday, but more than that; I would like to know if in any way, you can advise me on what is needed by me and also required from you, to become apart of Volition and making music geared towards television or what have? I have no problem with you listening to what it is and what type of music that I do, so if you’d like, upon your response I could attach one of my song for you listening pleasure. I am a very ambitious and goal oriented individual, and opportunities like this I know are seldom, therefore I don’t want to take the risk of missing out on one. Thank you and I am looking for to your response?

speaking at Brown

Dear Mr. Hanes,
This is Nate Sloan, a senior at Brown University and head of the Music Department
Undergraduate Group (or DUG). Shep Shapiro got in touch with me concerning the
possibility of your visiting Brown this Spring for a lecture/talk. After checking
out your work and your experience, I am hugely excited about the prospect! Your
accomplishments are impressive in their own right, and I think your visit would be
invaluable as far as introducing students to a career that lies somewhere between
the conventional niches carved into music field. Also, part of what we're trying to
do with the DUG is to create links to Music alumni, and start to get students
thinking and inpsired about life after Brown. So thanks again for offering to come!

As for the details of your visit, Shep mentioned that April might be a good time. We
can work around your schedule to find a date that works. I think that a weekday
afternoon would be desirable, because more students might turn up than on a weekend,
but again--whatever works for you is best. At the bottom of this email is a link to
the music department calendar if you want to see what days are already busy with
events.
As for the format, I was thinking that you could give a public talk, for which would
do a lot of publicity and emailing to try and draw a big crowd (I think your work
will be something people will be really interested in). I was also hoping that you
might also consider scheduling a time that you could meet with a small group of
music concentrators, students looking to go into music after graduation who would be
grateful for personal feedback and advice from you. Let me know if you'd be
interested in this.

Sorry for the long email-I may have gotten loquacious in my excitement. It's a real
privilege to be organizing this event, and thanks once again for your interest!
Look forward to talking with you more,

N
