    Producers ruined producing. In the early to mid 90's I used to get $1500 a beat as a no name Producer with local artists. Gradually Producers started undercutting each other and pulled the price down to between 250 to 500 per track. Then they started leasing for $20 a beat or free. Producers have done more harm to themselves than anyone else could.

    • @Reggi_Sample
      @Reggi_Sample 2 місяці тому +1

      The lease beat can earn more than the 1500. Because that wasn’t available in the 90s a lot of older producers are either confused, offended, or angry at the model. Some people have it working very well for them and make a living from it. Their reach goes global while your talking about local artists. Critiquing other people’s model of business is salty

    The same thing happened to me. I had an IG message from some "producer" who works with Dave East. I knew it was a scam immediately when he said he liked all my music. My music is straight dokie. Burnt toast. I just do it for fun. It unfortunately shows lmao. Dude wanted promo money. Nah man. I send you money for the therapy you need from listening to it... not for promotions.

    Talent agent seems like a pretty decent scam. Aspiring, inexperienced artists are everywhere these days. Just explain you can't drop names because of NDAs.
    Maybe team up with one of those scam companies, selling garbage plugins or MIDI packs to "elevate your mix". People believing in this crap would probably fall for a fake agent, too.

    Man, I had two friends in two different bands fall for a thing like this. A "manager" contacts them, makes some big promises to them (a showcase at a major venue, putting their music in front of execs at major labels, etc.) - but they need to give him a fee up front (around 10-20k). Yeah, they got a showcase (they had to sell tickets to play it, or pay the venue for the tickets that didn't sell), and they never heard back from any of the labels, and both bands ended not long after the "manager" walked away with the money. I tried to warn them, but...

    I do think a union could have some sort of effect. But, it probably wouldn't be that widespread of an influence. Like, I can see high profile projects being pressured into using unionized labour.
    But, it will likely be similar to the way it is in Hollywood. Where there's a small core of projects using unionized labour, and a bunch of smaller non-union projects on the side.
    Unions will never be truly industry wide in creative work, sadly.

    • @BCThunderthud
      @BCThunderthud 2 місяці тому

      There is a musicians union but they're not as powerful as they used to be. I think a lot of session players are union, like in Nashville and in Hollywood, but otherwise it's mostly classical and Broadway musicians. It doesn't really make sense for regular bands and artists because it would limit what kind of gigs they could take.

    I've just completely resigned myself to making beats for fun. I"m over here making beats no matter what so fuck it. If someone wants to pay me for my beats, cool. But I'm not trying to make a living off of it. My only goal with music is to make fire beats. That's it. I fucking love it when someone tells me they're vibin to my beat or whatever. That's payment enough, I guess.
