    what about 90% of youtube producers who have no idea what their talking about yet feel the need to make tutorials, thereby spreading misinformation and bandaid fixes, misguiding new producers and creating an oversaturated industry of degrading quality?
    Doesn't cost money, but some people their progress or even future carrier.

      The worst part is often, these people know what they're doing in editing (or hire someone who does) which helps their false credibility a lot.

    It's important to also know that you don't even need to necessarily be "scammed" but people can also simply steal your music and reupload it for themselves.
    This happened to me and I had to threaten to take the artist and label to court in order for them to remove my song from their accounts and to remove the content ID that made my song say it was theirs.

    I've been producing for 10 years, and I've seen at least one of these. Honestly, I've been a freelancer for 3 years, and no matter what you do there's someone trying to snake you. I've never actually paid anything big. Just 50 bucks once through PayPal. I got a refund when they never delivered through PayPal.

    Honestly I bought your course awhile back, like right when it came out, and I learned so much from it. It actually really helped me jumpstart my music production knowledge. The problem was I’m a brokey and couldn’t actually afford it. So I sped through the course learning as much as I could from it, and got the no questions asked refund you offered on it. I can’t thank you enough for offering the knowledge and if I could afford it I would give you back twice as much money. I can definitely say your course was NOT a scam and I apologize for getting the refund. But I gotta pay rent bro! ❤ one day I’ll pay you back tho promise

    the amount of times i lost hundreds of dollars to rappers or producers promsing work but then just block you after the payment is my fault.

    imo if you're gonna pay money to learn how to better produce music, one on one lessons seem more valuable than generalized courses. Maybe you already know half of the course content going into it but the other half is new info, well, if you just find a producer doing lessons out there, you can just focus in on what you don't know and get more value for your time and money. But also, if you REALLY want to learn from a specific person and they only do courses, that could still absolutely be worth it to get a better feel for their particular workflow, philosophy, etc

But I thought that was the sauce so I did it again and quickly realized that it is def not the best way to go about placements😭

    Was once messaged from rca records. They promised to send money to make music for them. I could tell it was a scam but was curious what it was. They ended up sending me a 3000 check in email if I promised to send some to a charity they didn’t disclose. Searched the name and address on the check, it was a meth dealer in prison. Sent him pictures of him and his house and prison and never heard from him again.
