Hey Ron,

Good of you to come back, and talk sraight.

I think the problem we're seeing with most such services, is that it's not about the service, and it's not that these folks haven't done tremendous things in their career.

It's that there are MANY folks who are just not ready, professionaly, to present material in a pro manner, who think, by buying someones time, that they are somehow "connected".

There's nothing wrong with the service, it's just that it is percieved, right or wrong, as taking candy from a baby.

Their are many industry pros', whom I ask their advice. Wether it be on an arrangement, on the choice of vocalist, on the choice of instrumentation etc. And they do it for free, they do it because relationshps have been built up, and their track record is worth noting.

Would they charge for it ? Probably not, they would consider it bottom feeding.

The only queston I would ask, is..... "If you get a submission, which was totally nowhere near ready to be submitted, would you politely say, NO, I'm not taking your money". And then, advise a suitable course of action.

cheers, niteshift
