no money is music? no wonder... here is one reason why
no money is music? no wonder... here is one reason why Posted on: 24.03.2013 by Libbie Orion Sometimes i believe i do it to myself. Today i went looking for trouble basically and thats exactly what i found.I just got this submission mix from a potential dj for the station. The mix sounds pretty good but has some strange elements to it when going from track to track. Its not that the levels are off but something about the overall mastering of the songs is off. I i pulled up his tracklist for the mix and i started searching. Not sure exactly what led me to believe this was going to turn out this way but i found every single one of his songs FOR FREE DOWNLOAD on soundcloud. This guy didnt purchase one single track. (yes i know theres no rule against that) but So before i emailed him, i happened to ask, "so where do you usually get your music from, are you part of a pool bla bla bla" He said he only does his shopping on beatport........ Im sorry but i know i asked for it but now..... two things 1) No wonder music sites are hardly making money 2) there is just something unethical about the results.... Sorry. i just had to get that off my chest | |
Judi Sissel 23.03.2013 | Well that's what the producers of those songs wanted, right? Sharing - to possibly be played out or on air, right? |
Yu Santellano 23.03.2013 | It does seem funny he lied about it, but I don't really believe he's damaging the industry - It would have to become a widespread trend. |
Libbie Orion 23.03.2013 | the people that put the songs on soundcloud were the producers of the songs they arent commercial tracks the dj however seems to only use soundcloud as his music source even though telling me he only purchases beatport available musc |
Yu Santellano 24.03.2013 | Mmmm I'm finding it hard to grasp the problem if they weren't illegally shared? |
Libbie Orion 24.03.2013 | yes they werent illegally shared tracks it was all legit and to this responce

Janyce Henningson 24.03.2013 | It's weird he lied about it - nothing to be ashamed of - in fact the opposite, respect for digging for stuff away from the norm |
