ok i see you what you mean now. thats why i mentioned you should be prepared to invest large amounts of time in order to churn out enough to make a living 20-hour+ days is typical unless you're running a label since your standard 16% contracts certainly won't pay the rent.robin wrote:I am deadly serious.SPAWNmaster wrote:i hope thats sarcasm.robin wrote: What is this "signing" you speak of?

I mean this in the context of deep house especially.
You do music for the love not the $$$ and unless you can find a way to DJ or perform to bring in the money keep the day job.
yes, indeed.SPAWNmaster wrote:ok i see you what you mean now. thats why i mentioned you should be prepared to invest large amounts of time in order to churn out enough to make a living
Interesting point. The people who "dig" (literally and figuratively) will find the good no-namers. That of course means a very small market for them though.SPAWNmaster wrote:something to think about though, this is a really good year for deep house so of course it's making a bit more money but naturally with the growth in popularity is a disparity in how many people are buying from amateur producers vs. the top tech producers who are now turning deep.
in an ideal world everyone would flock to the no-namers but of course the scene is so commercial these days it doesnt happen like that.

sorry but there is no such thing as instant venetian snares. your trick will sound interesting for a moment but venetian snares obviously puts alot more time and effort into what he does.mosca wrote:try ramping it up to 190bpm and having 4 or five warped loops with follow actions - instant venetian snares
I totally misread your first post John, my apologies for lumping you together with this obviously deranged twit who thinks that looping some bad filtered rhodes loops can even compare with the complexity of good breakcore artists.Johnisfaster wrote: sorry but there is no such thing as instant venetian snares. your trick will sound interesting for a moment but venetian snares obviously puts alot more time and effort into what he does.

Nice point of view, well worded4.33 wrote:well find your advantages
i bet barbra streisand had lots of accomplished arangers around her
and guess what - you have them all in yur subconscious.
and slayer - well quite a sense of rhythm there!
thats your past and the fundamentals of your subconscious third ear.
but you can grow and extend it
say you currently resonate with an entirely new direction of music.
and that's like falling in love with a new person- you listen, you touch, you learn. spending some time with it you can understand something new, and this becomes your second nature.
if not - then it's probably just not yours
just enjoy what you do
no, i feel blessed.beats me wrote: Do you ever feel retarded for not being able to produce the music that 18,000,000,000 other people can produce in their sleep? ?
scanned those tunes in juno and all i'm hearing is the same old minimal trancey shit...that's not house mate. go listen to theo parrish and moodymann, larry heard and decent house music producers, honestly, you're pointing people to this trendy 'deep' stuff. what's the fucking use? point them to chicago, ron hardy, trax records and from there move to current undergorund producers who do it with soul. see newworldaquarium, juju and jordash, omar s...i mean what the hell, do your homework.SPAWNmaster wrote:try this:
Marc Romboy, Stephan Bodzin- Callisto
Minilogue- Inca
Bienmesabe- Plumas De Mar. The aforementioned tracks are quite a step up in quality and diversity in my opinion, compared to downtempo loungey deep house and may give you some inspiration if thats the field you're interested in.
