If an artist here wants to get signed, why doesn't he just make tracks and send them off to labels that he wants himself? I don't really understand the point of these big "team" efforts that constantly spring up on music forums over the internet: the common things like "all-stars of blah blah blah cd 1," "2002 compilation of blah blah.com," "www.blah blah.com anthems #1." I know they sound cool, and they're exciting, but these things rarely ever succeed. Plus, to look at the technicality of things here: who's going to compile this cd, who's going to make the cd copies, who's going to send them off, who's going to pay for stamps and/or shipping of these cd's? Don't get me wrong, I support things like TA's Unite Part X, but those are just fun projects meant for us and have little promotional purposes. But when a project comes along that tries to involve the supposed "best" producers on the forums and get some of signed, even though these ideas have the best of intentions, they usually end up being a waste of time, hype, and effort. Instead, an artist who is serious about his craft and wishes to be signed is better of concentrating solely on his own work, perfecting it, researching the labels that would best fit him, and ultimately sending a select few tracks to those labels. Just my 2 cents.

Good points, but way I see it is there would be no "team effort." It would be as if you were concentrating on your own work, perfecting it as you said, except instead of sending it off alone, you'd send it to John (who I assume is the one offering to compile the cd and send it off). What this does is gain this forum some respect as far as producers go so there would be potentially more A&R guys browsing through here. More of a promotional thing for the whole site than the individual artists, as i see it, because a lot of the people on that list have releases coming up and would not do this particularly to get signed.

Not quite mainstream enough, I suppose.
I was pointing out that you aren't veterain ta, as I assumed he was suggesting. Regardless, you should be on this, as you're one of the best producers here. (Surprised you don't remember me from sc actually, I did have over 1500 posts there
