Is Trance Music a pyramid scam?

This is how it seems to work: you buy tutorials and millions of sample packs from Trance producers so you can be a much better producer but there's no real money in Trance production so you start to sell your own sample packs and tutorial so other people can be successful Trance producers and so the wheel continues...

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a pyramid scheme is

It's not a pyramid scheme in the classic sense but it feel kinda similar. '
people buy tools to make edm just so they can make their own tools to make edm just so other people can make tools to make edm, no one is thinking why the hell does this producer needs to make all of these tools instead of selling his actual work? its like a carpenter with great reputation who only makes money out of selling his hammers and sanders .


I don't know maybe it's just me.

It's definitely you. One thing doesn't exclude the other.
These guys are simply broadening their spectrum.

Dear Viber,

I felt the need to answer your question, because eventhough it is not aimed directly at myself or the Myloops business, I would rather not stand by while being told I am part of a "scam"

You seem to imply that soundware businesses are generally taking advantage of their customers based on the promise that the newly purchased sounds will help them make better tracks and help them get famous, thus making huge amounts of money, whilst in reality there is "no real money in Trance production". I can't speak for other businesses here, but as far as Myloops goes, we do not make such promises. We simply create new sets of tools to trigger inspiration and motivation.

Not everything in trance music is about money. We are doing what we love, and our customers are artists who are looking for new sounds and inspiration so they can keep doing what they love. I personally also release my own music and have been doing so for years. I love doing both, and as TranceElevation said, one thing doesn't exclude the other.

Don't take it too seriously, it was a half joke. i don't actually think you are a part of any real scam or filling your pockets with millions of dollars.

The promises bit was not aimed at your products specifically, i do see other advertisers who say or imply they will make you sound like the next Hardwell or Armin Van Burren or be the next star of Tommorowland.

btw, liked more than one of your productions circa 2006

Big difference between being a good sound designer and a good musician; it's kind of like crafting any instrument really. How many guys who make Fender guitars do you think can shred like Herman Li?
That isn't the case for this guy however, but I felt like it's a point that should be made.

Great work with this samplepack!
