It appears we have hit a low. I was going to say try to tell the stereotypical rich kid who wants to be a superstar dj that he has to work for years and suffer numerous setbacks, sacrifices, and rejections as opposed to buying a track and releasing it as a hit overnight.

But if well known artists are doing it (the buying and releasing part) then thats a major problem that erodes a decent chunk of credibility out of individuals and the "scene" as well...

Thats for me though, my view is often a bit more warped when in comparison to the norm.

No, I think that "spooky" made a track,
and sasha put his name on it.
But Im not sure, I cant remember.

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

Ah ok I think I remember, but I was under the impression that tracks were co-produced with spooky doing more than his fair share...

Not familiar with this topic, I think my perceptions will be somewhat more jaded and muddled than before.

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

Something similar happens
with spooky and sasha

Pretending to mix now pretending to produce.

What next? Pretending to listen and pretending to like the music?

Unkle have been doing for years. Lavelle gets the band together, they knock out some tracks, Lavelle puts his name on the track.

but who gets the credit for creating the music? "Unkle?"

It's called being a democrat.

I dunno bud, my super right wing friend (by birth not choice) is a singer/songwriter, he's paid money to increase in youtube hits. Same thing really. Cheating is cheating is cheating. It's not about being a dem or repub. It's about having integrity.

The reason I'm not shocked is the entertainment business is super cut throat like any other business. SOME people are willing to do anything to "make it." They think $$$ is more important than morals. Misguided in some cases, desperate in others, but mostly just dishonest.

Have we hit an all-time low in society where we assume we don't have to work for anything?

It's called being a democrat. And yes the idea of ghostwriting and existence of that website is a total shame. Saw a post by Kate Simko the other day on FB that someone had release one of her remixes as their own track and selling it on Beatport. Ridiculous...

^that's right. I thought this was common practice already?

Re: So wrong! ProducerFactory.com

basically some bedroom producers are making the tracks, they then sell it to that site - then if people like it, they can buy the full rights to it? Is that the scenario?

Its like all those peole that write for Rihanna but she makes the tracks herself, but they get the songwriting credit.

In this scenario - someone does ALL the work and receives ZERO credit? (but a payment) ??
