It's all a crapshoot, i dont like this 5 dollars for songs under 2:00 minutes nonsense lol. Lets be real here, who has a song under two minutes. Or do I start writing songs under two minutes to save money on players lol. The Ramones came close to under 2 minutes

I prefer upfrontness, tell me what you're going to charge me to play bass on a song. Some of these guys are like car mechanics.."well, it took longer than I thought it might"
Im defintly gonna try. Gonna give them one song at a time and see if they are any good. Musical parts should compliment the melody, if you're going to jam, i might as well use samples.



I agree, as far as how creative can some be or not??? And on that under 2 minutes, what's with that? LOL And I tend to stay away from anyone who says they'll do stuff for 5 bucks or some rate that seems way too cheap .. you get what you pay for IMHO. Good luck w/ your venture there and I hope you find the right one you can work with and does great creative work.
