Not a producer yet?

So you haven't spent late nights just tweaking a few sounds, and wondering to yourself...shit this takes time, my effin job is getting in the way!

While its wishful thinkin that makin techno will get rid of that need for a dayjob, its nice to get a kickback for those long sessions.

When you both not get that kickback AND some other guy is making money by playing something you've labored hard for and he didn't pay YOU any scratch, that burns.
totally understand what your trying to say ther man but as ive said im not into music for getting payed......

believe me ive spent just as long on my deks as any producer prob has in their studio.........basically cos i like doing it....i actually sit sumtimes and cant wait to get in to have a skratch/mix, i actually crave it, i dont see why i have to get money aswell, the enjoyment is enuf......and im starting to feel like that with reason....been getting the urge to write beatz, and just now id feel glad if someone played that even if they didnt buy it....would just make me happy to know 500 folk danced to it......

sure some folks see ther techno as a way to get by, but not me or most folks i know that write beatz.......they do it for the luv and like getting together, having a smoke and getting some techno written.....we sell crack to kids for money ;)

plus if the guy has bought yer record you have had some kick back.....

Well, to be really good at your craft you need to be able to put in the time . And a day job, 9-5 slave plus the time either side to get in, and wind down will stop you from allowing yourself to devote the time needed.
DJing is a very physical/Manual skill, and you can pick it up with a couple of hours of practice a night, pretty easily.
Producing to a high standard takes years.

I don`t want a rolls royce, or a mountain of charlie and a beachfront hone in the Caymens. But I woul dlike to be able to pay my rent, and feed my cats.

Piracy is stealing someone elses effort.

Would you do a week at work, for free?
I doubt it.

Shouldn`t everything be free in that case. Some farmers enjoy their work, why should we pay for their produce?

I know it`s a bit of a wild extrapolation, but it`s the same thing.

Well to steal someones music, that they have spent time to craft, and then earn from it. Is wrong.
