I am moving to nashville for a recording engineering school. You might think how are you going to handle recording songs for people in genres you dont like. Easy, its not like shitty music is so intallerable. Also with my part in it, i might even be able to help improve the artist. who knows.
This is in fact why alot of home studio producers do their thing. Fed up with the corporate garbage we're fed as if thats what we're into. So lemme make a point..
I've also been in the industry for a number of years. I'm not huge and people I produce for aren't either, I really don't care about that. On a major label.. The mainstream is the target. On an indi label. One can have just as much success "getting music out" as a major label. I myself have grown to despise the rap thats being put out, but that doesn't mean "rap" is crap. Just the rap that you're listennig to.. Remember when it was the shit?? Well we were probably about teen age when we were most brainwashable. The music coming out now is tailored to todays teens.

I support the non main music movement, but really in every industry, there are people like us, home power users but really. Our music doesn't spread like wildfire from overplaying on the radio, multiple hudreds of thousands of downloads, hits, leads etc. That generates interest. So you gotta at least turn your eye and don't say anything at all, or give em a golf clap for going through the bullshit you know we go through if you work with artists and distribution companies, marketing, shows, merchandise etc etc.. Sure you can hate but usually those that do, aren't doing something EVERYDAY to achieve a goal and ultimately are pretty worthless to themselves. We all dance to the beat of our own drum, trick is to say everything sounds good, cause then it gets better, if you don't like whats out in the waves, change the station, or burn a cd of your original hits and bump em down the street for all to hear. Thats always fun. So rep Pro.G man. Promote self empowerment and being different cause thats what we're really not wanting, the same ol garbage. Industry's changing, help it to.. Otherwise, we waste our breath. OPEN MIND please... It can't hurt..
