to name but a few, george hales, john o'callaghan, mk-s, icone + myself are all signed artists on this board and have posted full 192k+ versions of tracks past, present and future.
posting is not compulsary, if you don't want to share your track because it's being released then don't, the forum is not here to openly share your track with armin and pvd, it's a forum where up and coming artists post to seek feedback on their productions, only 1 artist (well, duo) has posted on this forum and been picked up by a label because of it.
if you cast your mind back 6 months ago, there was the best part of 2 pages of incomplete songs with samples ranging from 24k to 96k, it was rediculous, something had to be done, these guidelines were set in place because of that. there was absolutely no point in people seeing others doing it, copying it and therefore becoming the norm. i mean, "my first trance production" and inside a 90 second sample at 64k.
the only real problem left to deal with is people posting just to pad their post count, "nice tune" the whole point of the forum is about feedback and people getting arsey about that too is still an issue. maybe i'm gonna take a fellow mod's advise and, well, wait and see what happens :p

| Or you can keep your link open for just a few days or so... (Don't know if that's allowed though). |

| I totally agree with luke here, there has to be some sort of rule in place to stop stupid posts at ridiculous samples. If you're not happy doing this, even with some 'faults' added, then I think you need to think twice before posting honestly :) |

You don't have to. As people have already said, posting here is not compulsary; it's a priviledge. |

I just joined the forum, and I was wondering how many cases of stealing other than the one listed above has anybody actually experienced....In other words is it really a big enough risk to worry about posting tunes??

I can assure you this happens very rarely, if at all.
You must realise however, posting a full version of your track will cause it to spread. The fact is, this forum is designed mainly for those not at a signable level to gather advice and improve.
If you are at a signable level, then posting a full version is probably not a good idea if you are concerned with it spreading. |

You don't like the rules, you don't post.
We get enough tunes without you as well. |

Steal my work I'd love to hear it on the radio :P
I just cleaned my Amateur MP3 archive, and the few low rate samples really sucked. I hope I don't have to delete any more of them.
:rolleyes: |

your beeing selfish here, looking only from your own intrest ffs.
you don't get the big point behind this do ya? and one more thing, you don't like the rulez, then don't post here ..thank you.
I gave this example tons of times, someone posting a track or sample in 64kb saying hey i finished track, getting signed on blabla..well good for you.
But that person is screwing the layout with his stupid sample, for people that love to produce, who worked hard on a tune and posting it in full glory..its' called NOT FAIR!.
Let me put it this way, you got a tune but you don't wanne share because it is getting signed? dont post it at all ..are you afraid its getting stolen? don't post it all, you do wanne share? follow these rulez.
period. |
Sorry but i dont see whats not fair about it, i didnt realise that the main problem was posts clogging up the forum, i thought it was just fussy people who were trying to take advantage of producers. But i think its pretty out of line to say im being unfair if i only want to post a low quality clip of my tune, its a taster. I dont see where fairness comes into it. but i kinda see the whole point behind the rule now, i didnt before, it just seemed like a bit of a selfish scam, and i wouldnt have mentioned it if broken silence hadnt bought it up because i thought no one would agree! hehe. |

if 10 people make 10 topics saying hey listen to my 30 seconds 64kb sample, means the 3(for example) people who posted their full tracks will get pushed down to page 2-3..now lets be fair, how many look at page 2 of this section?
and like i said, you wanne post low quality coz your afraid? post 96 full track minus outro, how can this be stolen? |
