Yes i do have a problem, but when you buy from 4 different genres at once it gets expensive. Im probably at around 6 grand since march.
but it makes me like this :trippin: so im happy.

$6,000 since March? What are you? A crack dealer?

Fookin'ell! For the prices I'm seeing here, some of you could have bought Final Scratch and never have to pay for records again!

...just a thought...

yes, this is true. But say im producing in a couple years. I really want someone to buy my new record. But wait...its not selling shit. why...because everyones buying final scratch.
I'd rather not see that happen, and support who's making good music.

At the risk of starting yet another music industry debate, I understand where you're coming from but if you are worried about sales of your music, then you are just in it for the money, not the artsmanship. And, in that sense, the money you make off of music sales pales in comparison to live shows. If you intend to make music your job rather than your hobby, then use the various media at your disposal as your advertisement for when you perform live (DJ or PA).

How much are studios? Oh they arent 1000? Theyre 10 times that...
oh yah...
im all about doing it for the love, but somethings gotta pay off having a studio.
besides...im a firm believer that if you're making great music, your product will sell. so if im not making any money, im probably sucking.

Now don't tell me that you can look at a Billboard chart and say that with a straight face.

^^^ I wouldnt be producing pop music. sorry to burst your bubble.
I dont think there's a lot of electronic music that sells if its shit (im talking vinyl here.)

[Sean]

I buy everything that I enjoy listening to because I feel it encourages the artists to produce more music that I like.

Definitly Even though I haven't started buying Vinyl's yet...when a DJ that i Like comes out with a new CD...i'll definitly buy it and support their talent. After all we need to support the music industry!!!

and if you can attract more people to come to your show from the free advertising the internet provides (by having your music easily available), the money you missed out on will probably come back to you...
