In one thread you don't know how to mix a track and here you claim to be signed.

Maybe he's that guy who posted a while back trying to hire someone to produce tracks for him?

Maybe his hired producer quit and now he's trying to produce for himself?

In the end because i was trying to get signed again i said you can keep the money and i did it on email so the bastards got it in writing .\

I just curious some people get upfront payments wondered if anyone landed a big score from a label?


Your logic really doesn't make any sense. Why on earth would you want to be resigned by a label that disappears on you for weeks at a time and then pays you nothing?

Also, try asking the retail outlets (Beatport etc.) for figures. I'm sure if you can prove that you are the artist and explain the situation to them they would furnish you with the figures, especially as they probably don't want to get audited/involved in a court case.

As for the email (even though it's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard someone do in your position), they might not even have it anymore and even if they did, you could easily explain that away in court by saying you were just trying anything to get a response from them as they had been dodging you, and that you knew the contract would stand anyway.

This whole thing sounds really weired to me anyway.

Also, Labels don't want bad press because they will have trouble signing new material in the future, so why not name them on here?

Complete BS post. Go look on beatport, there's nothing at the top of any of the charts called "Party Time". Not to mention no specifics are mentioned, label name, artist name, ect. Why do people waste our time with this hogwash. Oh, I forgot, just to mess with us :P

Let's defeat this goofball at his on game, and turn this into a real discussion. Here's my imput:

I've gotten paid by little indie labels. Even if they owe you just $20, they pay you. Most labels are honest. Always find out a little about a label before you sign.

When i make a song when i mix it down the bass lowers and the melodies get lost and it sounds like its coming out of a pillow

One thing that works for me is run it through ozone izotope and turn the freq exiters up that sound ok but its not best practice

Does anyone have a general guidline how to get a punchy kick and off beat bass but allow for the melodies to also be at an audible level

help??


So said the person that top all download sites.

lets clear this up

Ok fine i knew this would come up. I used to make electro (shit electro) under the name sticky electro. I didnt want to mention because some of the songs are really amature and crap.

www.myspace.com/stickyelectro

I made a song called "party time" I got lucky basically the whole song is not amstered or mixed or anything solely made by an amature in reason alone!

I made a catchy song and people liked it

It got signed to LPH (lets play house recordings) owned by an american dj starsteady.

It is on all the download sites and did well. I didnt want to show you guys because u will all take the mickey probably. I make trance now which is what i always loved and sort of wanted to just put it behind me lol.

http://www.junodownload.com/artists/Sticky+Electro/

this is where you can preview or look if im telling the truth.

I just didnt want to admit to the songs in the player some of your songs sound so well made that it made me feel like really a beginner.

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

Im so pissed with this forum twice now i have been ripped once for saying wouldnt it be nice to make trance for a living! and now for asking a question about a real event. you all think im a liar.

I assume this is because i am trying to learn how to make trance properly from you guys, but i have had some success in the past? Right

Why?
