And no they will never be rich but shit they should be granted some kinda finacial support on our part especially when the scene is really down at the moment.. but like i said probably is way to much to ask for with most of you people ... btw back to mp3s i never said mp3s are bad its just people cant always take and never give either... but this all started by people bitching about producers stop producing and im telling you this mp3s have made records sales drop so i mean if you want free mp3s u also have to shell out some dough and support these people.. or you can sit here and tell them they dont deserve the money.. because i think thats extremely hypocritical i bet you wouldnt say if you were producer and all your tracks you dont see any kind of money going back may 1000$ for the track because the label cost to press the record was more then all the sales...which happen time in and time out ...and then you can say these guys want to be rich thats bs i think they should get something for what they do and not have to cut loses because some morons dont feel like shelling out some cash once in a while... all im saying is dont bitch in the near future when this industry goes to shits even more. Support is spread extremely thin in this industry yeah you can go to shows and all but fact is producers arnt getting booked djs are you go see dj spin and pay to get in supporting the dj...doesnt support the producer buying records support the producers!
one more thing yeah djs can be grafeful for mp3 world to bring the fan based more globaly but that doesnt mean that these producers shouldnt get a penny our of the music and that people should just leech freely |
what do i give back in return to djs and producers? I give back enuff to them just by coming out to their shows and telling my friends to check their tunes out. Thats all a musician needs, recognition and respect. You sound like just because someone makes music, you have to go out of the way to pay them back by buying this and that. There are a shit load of musicians out there that create and play music just because they just want ppl to hear and appreciate them. . .and that itself is a more valuable reward than money.
The support you talk about is financial support and honestly, i dont think half of these producers give a shit about the money. . . .except ian van dahl. Sure, pressing vinyl costs money, but that is the type of investment every musician has to make to express their work. You dont see musicians complaining how they have to pay all this money for their instruments. The support that keeps them in the business is not money, but from the roar they get from the crowd.
