yeah i know the score mate, and it's why i stuck in the original comment about bittorrent, i'm using it legally, but there's so many studios i know downloading the £500 version of cubase i paid for and Kontakt etc which really pisses me off, so I'm quite heavy handed when it comes down to voicing my concerns.....what i posted up is not spam and it's not a marketing scam, I just thought that people might enjoy the track and I have no use for it......sorry if I came across as heavy handed and I know the score when it comes down to being an amateur producer, I've been doing this since 1990, when Atari STs were the in thing and hard disk recording did not exist.....all I can say is my way in was to start reviewing for major labels, I was lucky enough that the website in Hong Kong was an untapped source for the dance market, and the more promoters I met, the more dissuaded I became from being a part of the whole industry, I've gone through all parts of it and it ain't pretty! I had an idea that if all producers were audited before they released tracks (ie they owned all their software, samples, kit) that the industry wouldn't be so saturated......when I built my first studio, a gig of ram cost me £1000 (there was a worldwide shortage!) and my Mac was £1500....I was lucky enough to find someone else who had all the outboard kit to set the studio up in the first place! But as I said, if you go to www.myspace.com/possiblyinfectedtheband you'll find that I'm doing something other than trance and it's going very well.....it's a hit or miss market, you really need to know someone, it's that age old trick where people that do make it make leeway for all their mates, whether the tunes are no good or not, I've reviewed some real bad tracks and had to make them sound good under pressure from record labels, it's not a good thing to do, but again, I fell foul to the money.......not a mistake i intend to make in the future......
