First of, sorry if this is in the wrong forum :p
Anyway, lately I've been thinking that when I eventually get good enough, will I send my tracks to labels? I don't exactly want to make a living out of producing or anything, I only produce for the fun of things, however my thoughts crept away after having recently watched the whole "Tiesto accused of plagiarism" thing. I know this could've been sheer coincidence, but it really made me think back to the title of this thread. Basically, what I'm trying to say is " Is there a specific way of sending your tracks out to ensure they're in good hands?" I know that I should be able to trust most labels, but I just would like some advice from people on this forum to ensure that I go around it the right way :D
Thanks in advance!

| I guess you could contact current artists on the labels you're looking at and ask about their experiences with the label. |

| So say I created a track which a label really liked... Some jock could easily just take it and pass it off to one of the more well known artists on the label, no? Maybe I'm being slightly paranoid..? |

there's something you can do before you send a track away to protect it. I forget what its called tho. I guess if anyone robbed it after that you'd still need a lawyer |

| just making music for yourself and letting noone else hear it puts you in the safe zone. |

| Before sending a track to a label, burn it on cd, put it in an envelope and send it to yourself, but do not open it. That way you have a date on the envelope being stamped by the postal services. If you think your track is being copied you can take the closed envelope to court as evidence you created the track earlier than the rip-off. This is one way to do it :) |
