Now, having said that, I've often told clients that I didn't think their songs or singing were worth expensive recordings. Right now, I can't recall one instance where the client agreed. I know of several who left me, went down the street, and hired another (often more expensive) producer.

My general question, though, is this: is it unethical for a producer to not give their unsolicited opinion on the worth or "readiness" of a song? Even though I often give my opinion (imagine that!) I don't think someone who doesn't is being unethical.


I guess that's why I'd never make a good producer or demo service. If it was crap I'd tell them so. smile

But you are right Mike. It really wouldn't be "unethical" or a scam. But I think what goes around comes around.
I could never imagine you taking advantage of someone. That does not mean others won't.
