The worst part about the scam I’m describing in this video is that I searched up the guys IP address after and he literally was from Nigeria. I literally got scammed by a Nigerian prince.
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.
idk if it counts as a scam but audio companies like unison audio who promote extremely bad plugins for extreme amounts of money could steal the money of a beginner producer who doesn't know whats good or bad
@@Corporate_Desecration i prolly get an a unison ad everytime i watch a video. i even got it when i watched this one. i get they are paying but damnn, i dont wanna see another unison ad.
Honestly, I purchased a collab with a big underground producer, sent him loops, and it actually got placed with a big rapper which was super sick and I’m incredibly grateful for. 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😭
Simons videos have always been good but man, th e last few months the content has been incredible . Love when he has these super informative and well edited videos
i think we should create or give more attention to already existing music discovery forums. not already established artists' music forums, but actually undiscovered artists. a forum full of people who are interested in just looking up unknown artists and talking about them
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.
This guy is one of the best content creators ive ever came across with. Such quality content and so much effort into these videos. Simon i appreciate you so much!
This is very helpful! I def had people trynna scam me for writing and article or getting my music on the radio and did loose money! Thank you for sharing this! Cause it’s very important to be aware!
I’ve dealt with each one of these scams. They seem to be getting more and more creative with how they are crafting these emails. If I hadn’t noticed the fee that they through in at the end of the email is the biggest one, along with the promising a placement when you do paid collabs. I never fully understood paid collabs. So, I’m glad that you are making this video.
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.
A timely video tbh! I've had this question for a few days, never knew who to ask about it! And finally this video. Thank you Simon... This has saved me a whole lot!
Thank you for saying that It took a while for me to cut myself some slack tbh but saying that to a different producer made me feel okay Thank you Simon 🎉U really are the best
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. I trusted rappers who promised features but then never send it or producers that you ask for custom beat but through dms and they just never send or they send a beat you didnt ask for
Years ago 2010 I was 18.. I was about to enroll in online music school for $12,000. All I needed was a laptop top. The day I was due to send the money my laptop got stolen, never happened. Fast forward a few years later the online school was a complete scam.
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.
The "impersonators" one happened to me a few days ago, where a "famous producer" asked me for 200 dollars for "placement fees", I'm glad I wasn't stupid enough to pay.😭
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
Hey, i was just watching your vid and the only thing i could think about exept for how amazingly good you are was your setup. Soooo i did what anyone else would do, i looked up Servica Music setup, and got a vid from 4 Years ago.. Could you do a setup tour?
I once lost my life savings on a producer scam.
Would not recommend.
i watched the video navi really sad u will get throught this brother keep up the good work
holy fuck
it's you
Naive why don’t you have a verification check?
And yes I watched that video
that's just stupidity and not realizing that music is a hobby than a job/investment
"I just wanna give a couple producers some Anita Max Wynn" 🤣
stoppp😂😂😂
The worst part about the scam I’m describing in this video is that I searched up the guys IP address after and he literally was from Nigeria. I literally got scammed by a Nigerian prince.
I wished my brothers stop doing these scams
😂😂 sorry bro, I'm Nigerian too, hope u don't hate us
That Drake AI voice is Hilarious 😂😂😂
getting scammed was the worst feeling ever but i was younger and naive so the self-forgiveness process for 'being stupid' is... quite something lol
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.
sounds like an excuse
@@marvin2678 elaborate?
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.
Not really a scam though as you're not paying for it, if you don't like the tutorial simply stop watching it...
soundgoodizer, ott and ozone 8 is all you need for the master track 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for all the money making tips!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
idk if it counts as a scam but audio companies like unison audio who promote extremely bad plugins for extreme amounts of money could steal the money of a beginner producer who doesn't know whats good or bad
Or Unison midi chord pack. Most DAWs have built in chord stamps
@@Corporate_Desecration i prolly get an a unison ad everytime i watch a video. i even got it when i watched this one. i get they are paying but damnn, i dont wanna see another unison ad.
Now that you did "how to lose money as a producer" the next video should be "how to make money as a producer"!
Would really enjoy that one ✌🏻
Agreed
the quality of your vids recently 🔥🔥🔥
Man, the production value in the latest videos is through the roof!
Honestly, I purchased a collab with a big underground producer, sent him loops, and it actually got placed with a big rapper which was super sick and I’m incredibly grateful for.

This might be one of your best videos in terms of editing, yet
i think we should create or give more attention to already existing music discovery forums. not already established artists' music forums, but actually undiscovered artists. a forum full of people who are interested in just looking up unknown artists and talking about them
"artist who payed $100 vibe". Need that playlist lol. Nicely produced video!

Dude your videos are getting so much higher quality
Love your part in Superstore! Wish they didn’t cancel it
Great video!

Honestly one of the best contents on UA-cam about music and production...Thank you👍👍
Thanks for the video, as a restarting producer, this came right on time.
Much appreciated!
God bless you for addressing this issue, Simon. Not enough is said about the dirty underbelly of the music industry.
Please do more of these types of vids been watching for years... Thank u for being you dude😭😎🤝

Thank you for saying that
It took a while for me to cut myself some slack tbh but saying that to a different producer made me feel okay
Thank you Simon 🎉U really are the best
This has nothing to do with anything but I’m really glad you’re back to making lighthearted, funny videos
Thanks Simon 🙌🏻
I got scammed once too... I don't even like bringing it up because if you know where to look it's so obvious I got botted...
Thank you for the information, but also the humor😂
Thank you so much for this video, simon!
Really helps new producers like me🙏🏻

If you only work with people after you’ve seen their face, you’ll never have to worry about the impersonation scammers 🤝
That mail at 4:47 looking waaaay to familiar
this is why i'm subscribed to you. lmao handles.
Hey Simon, could you check your DMs please. Would love to work together & discuss collaboration ideas!
Looking good with the goatee

I think Simon wants to become a comedian now🤣🤣
