@AudioMasterclass replies to @test40323: I will be making a video in future about how much the artist gets paid from the different services, so my recommendation will be from that point of view.
@test40323 replies to @test40323: @@AudioMasterclass thank you. Looking forward to it.
@JohnFraserFindlay: the last score I did for a mini series..I got 100% of the pub..i think it was a fluke tho-they didnt know that they could have taken any at all..small prod. co.
@AudioMasterclass replies to @JohnFraserFindlay: Win!
@emiel333: Yes and here we are still making music! ❤
@jimhines5145: When progressives are in charge, you can expect this. This is 100% liberal politics. While it should not be political, sadly it is.
@jamescarter3196 replies to @jimhines5145: LMAO the irony of saying "it should not be political" when you're the one dragging politics into the subject for no reason and looking like a moron
@ronnysmobilephone replies to @jimhines5145: Found the nutter. The capitalist business rips of artists and who dies the nutter blame? The Liberals.
@NickHintonComposer: it is getting worse
@jamesp3022: I think everyone who actually works for a living is being robbed
@bobbyboyderecords: You are old like me. We need to face it, music is done for. AI can now write, make, mix, master and produce music. Can even sound like a dead rockstar now. In a few more years it will be all gone. Even live music will be played by robots.
@jamescarter3196 replies to @bobbyboyderecords: Oh lord dude, just check into a nursing home and watch Bonanza all day if you're that full of dismal horseshit
@gibson2623: The majority of them are communist...So seems about right and fair.
@ChiefExecutiveOrbiter: Slang CDs out your trunk like Jay Z. Oh right, kids thinks cds are obsolete and vinyl is the future... 😂
@RocknRollkat: Hello DM,
Here in the You Ess of Aye we call this "Buyout music"
I've railed against this for decades.
My argument ?
Simple.
Even hookers are paid on a 'per-play' basis !

@adamyelle4901: Love that you are a voice for the artists. Please keep pointing these faults out.
I may have missed it, but have you ever done a video on what streaming services best compensate the artists? I'm sure others like myself would like to align themselves with the service that is the most fair - if there is one.

@AudioMasterclass replies to @adamyelle4901: For comment readers, Google's translation is 'What is your current content? It's a paranoia that you don't hear criticism, but you don't hear what you're saying. р_ store, you can download your favorite pages."
@teashea1: get em
@DarkSideofSynth: Not new rules, it's been quite a while, actually. The real issue is not even the numbers, but the attitude typical humans have: unless it touches ME, it's OK. After all, musicians are ok with finding free or cheap videos or using AI to make their artwork, or find images in stock libraries, but scream their lungs out if it's their music. YouTubers complain about copyright but they scream if you dare to take half a second of their videos. Everyone's happy about free machine translation (and now even dubbing) because it's convenient, but translators (I'm one of them) loose their job. Automation is cool unless it's me who they want to automate or cut down rates and so on.
Until (i.e. NEVER) people will stop focusing on the finger instead of the moon, or the tree instead of the forest, things will just get worse. Add to that the slave mentality, and you have the perfect recipe for dystopia. In fact, here we are ;)
@arthurgrab926 replies to @DarkSideofSynth: Думаю _ нужно сконцентрироваться на качестве записи, сначала купив хороший хайэнд система

@maxtrue9744: The only cure is to use your right to unionize with your fellow composer and musician fellows and force the change.
