Either way, why the attitude to those who are simply giving their point of view, and are trying to make aware of working techniques and plans, to at least look at, and decide whether it is for us or not? Of course, their first advice from way back when was to study music and the artist we like to learn about. Being good is an obvious aspect that doesn't need to be explained, except for those that wouldn't know of that in the first place,,,,maybe.

Besides, if they already know you wanted to get across, then why the long posts trying to explain to them what you claim they already know? ???? That just doesn't make sense.

Seems like just creating a thorn for some reason.
Not had this sort of thing around here for YEARS!

I'm into sports too, more than you would guess about me, as some here do. But there's a thing called not being in the heat of combat when not playing a sport. That sport mentality is seen in soccer riots. People help people who they are friendly with, who get along, who have fun while being associated with. Being independent of that might not be the best way to try to teach others of your points.

On this site, there are the pro's pros and the beginner's beginners, and all in between. It's probably best to encourage points to be absorbed in a way that is helpful for all.

Thanks DRS,

Yes, encouragement. But not where its going to cost people money to buy gear, buy marketing platforms, buy video making gear, and or recording an album for big money.

Anybody needs encouragement on how to write, crits on songs, insights about writing, tips on any aspect of the craft, im in.

But telling them this is how you get a career in music is wrong. Dont know why it irritates me.

Maybe cause I attended a computer school 10 years ago. I remember entering the place and meeting with people in suits and ties, and everybody that left the place were smiling ear to ear.

A promising career in computers awaits all.

They were the nicest people before we signed on. Once the school was over, they wouldnt even answer the phones.

This is every trade school there is. They get funded from the GOVERNMENT, givernment sends people to these schools when they are unemployed in hopes the training will help them find work.

Its BS, They dont not only find you work, they dont even teach you anything.

I keep in contact with at least 10 in my classes. None found a job in networking, some had data entry and customer service jobs.

Its not until you get on the monster board and send resumes all day and night, and not get any responses, that you know the school was a bunch of crap.

And the people that recruit for the schools know this, but they tell you how great the school and career will be.

They got their jobs from knowing people, and thats how most people get their jobs knowing somebody and a little hard work in between.

Any musician knows how hard it is. Even people on major labels cant make a dime.

Scuse me for being sensitive, im sure folks just want to help folks along. As long as it aint costing them money, you can help all you like.
