Nope, it's not fair. But neither is life in general.

I wouldn't be too dispondent. There's a heck of a lot of music being put out there, and only so many sets of listening ears.

I really would re-work your thinking re the publisher thing. I'm not even sure if real publishers exist any more. Most are simply the publishing arm of the recoed label, or the artists own company.

If at all possible, I'd try to work with indie artists. Look for something that you can provide, in exchange for what they can provide. Opposites attract, as they say.

One thing you might me able to do, is provide simple melody lines for the rap/hip-hop genre. I heard one track the other day where the piano line was not played so good. They looped it, so you had the same mistakes repeating over and over.

Just an example, but you get the drift.

If anyone can provide info as to wether there are any real live publishers available any more, please step foward.
