We'll go round in circles now. My point is, if you're doing your own thing, then what does it matter what labels want or what their motives are. If you truly are doing your own thing then what a label wants is largely irrelevent.
That is what this thread is about and your post earlier mentioned:
"Yeah everyone says do your own thing but sometimes what a record company is looking for is what's the hits just now. There only looking to make money of you that's all."
And to this, I am pointing out that what a label wants has absolutely nothing to do with anything IF YOU TRULY ARE DOING YOUR OWN THING!
Comprende? |

Generally a left field track which is truly well produced can be huge. Eg windowlicker.
And steve bug is a god. Going to give this a glance in the morning. |

I mean have you ever heard of a record label making a lose on an artist but keeping them just because they like him or her. NO.. |
I would have to disagree. I've taken a loss on two artists I've licensed tracks from and will likely take a loss from the second sign and i'm waiting for the other to complete 4 more tracks which I will also most likely pay for and lose money on.
Not every label chases the dollar. There are some purists out there who run a label like it's an old car money pit. They are few and far between though. |

| Not every label is run with rationale or a plan. Which is part of why there is a lot of clutter out there. |

Yes well i know there is the exception of people out there who just love making music and getting music out there for people to listen to and i do like that. well done for doing this as it's good for everyone. |

Once your established then yes go back to your roots. As people will follow you then and say wow i like his style. |
This is so wrong dude. Nobody NEEDS a label to succeed. You only need yourself and creativity. People will follow. |

i agree, i hate when people claim to be able to tell the difference between 320's and wav's, however, we're not steve bug so i suppose we can only speak for ourselves in that situation. i think the average listener can't hear though, imo.
i love steve bug, he's a big influence on me production-wise, but some of his remarks *are* pretty asinine as you guys had already commented.
"I was one of the first people in Germany to start using Final Scratch, the precursor to Traktor."
wasn't that the other way around? traktor was the precursor to final scratch. |

| Anyone saying they can hear difference between 320k and wav lives in the past and has failed to witness that mpeg layer 3 has been under continuous development from day one. mp3 is not something that stays the same. It is still in the phase of development while we see better and better how psychoacoustics function. It is not the same as it was 15 years ago, like certain people obviously think it is. Decoding standards stays the same but encoding standards is more sophisticated than ever. You encode an mp3 in 320k with Fraunhofer ISS (developers of mp3) and you can't hear the difference. Anyone saying they can is speaking out their arse and have absolutely no clue as to what they are talking about. |

No, Traktor was released after Final Scratch. |

So you're saying that because you can't hear the difference nobody can? Even if they have superiour hearing and a superiour sound system compared to yours? That's what I would qualify as speaking out of your ass. :tongue2
Fortunately the people that say they can hear the difference between wav and mp3 have a lot of references which shows how capable they are when it comes to music production. I'm not claiming to be one of them at all, but I do want to believe there is a perceivable difference. I actually never tried to spot it.
On another forum they did a comparison from 64kbit mp3 up to 320 (all degraded mp3s supplied in wav format). A lot of people where able to put them in the correct order. Even a lot of people found the difference between 256kbit and 320 perceivable, so why shouldn't it be the same for 320kbit mp3 and wav? |
