I've spent enough time at record stores digging through vinyl, and there have always been producers that don't properly master their music and labels that will put out said horrible-quality tracks. It's a hell of a lot more common than you'd think.

Yes, of course it's nothing new, but I've never heard such a disaster to this degree. It's unlistenable.

quality control fail. It seems like the blame should be BP's but I wouldn't put my marbles all on them. One of my harddrives recently went kapoot and thankfully BP let me re-download all the music i had purchased which was around 50 tracks.

Beatport doesn't do anything to the music before they upload it. If there's a problem that's on the label/producer, not BP.

Quality control isn't Beatport's job, they're a retail store selling someone else's product. Quality control falls on the heads of the people sending music to Beatport the same way a clothing company sends clothes to a department store.

Beatport fail? No. Shitty amateur hour label fail? Yes.

Bingo.

They are all to blame for this mess... Original artist, remixer, label, and retailer.

Isn't beatport strict about quality control though? They seem to only want you to release if you are already an established artist or label, are a part of an aggregator, and if you aren't one of those two, they want to see your next three releases (of which 2 can't be your productions, and they can't be remixes of your productions) before you get the ok i thought. And after that mess is done, I thought you have to reach a quota.

I go through beatport a lot, and I think those tunes and labels are just aberrations.

You can be all of that and still put out horrible music.

Who gives a shit about quality control when there's money to be made?
