That was just me joking around.
There's really no need to not wish anybody success. The internet and web forums are making people crass and a-holes because it's all anonymous. I'm doing a U turn on negativity and negative thinking... I slipped a little yesterday, lol.
I hope this keeps up... probably will only last til Sunday or so.
I wish the founder of BlazeTraks much success, I lose nothing by saying that.

And maestro...he`s giving feedback for free...But if u can pay to meet up with someone for a whole day...daam...thats a good offer...u would have spend alot of money networking to get those connects anyway..and maybe even after all that hustle u still wouldnt be able to connect with the pros...

I quite like the idea of this site. For someone like myself, being so far away from the US it could be a a way of getting a "leg up" before I move to the states in a couple of years.
It really comes down to three things:
1. The value of a $1 to you. Like people have said already, it depends on the amount of disposable income you have and also your perception of the value this kind of opportunity can generate.
2. The quality and type of music you make. If you have an objective confidence in you're music and truly believe it has potential to get you somewhere, then BT represents a good opportunity for you to get more exposure. In saying that, I think you're music really has to be top-notch / industry standard or above for this to have any real benefits for you. No point coming in with a "well, they know I'm not a big / signed producer, so hopefully they'll go easy on me and keep that in mind". You gotta bring the whole shabang. Also, if you're not making marketable music (i.e. something that you can generate good $$ off) then there isn't much point for you to do this. If you're happy making your artsy alternative stuff then stop complaining.
3. You're readiness to invest in yourself. A lot of people "dream" of making it in the business, but when they're faced with the reality and the hard work and investment that entails, they realise that its not really for them. If you're truly ready (and I don't say that easily, you really have to have your head in the game) to make a career out of music you're gonna have to be willing to pay $$ (and lose $$) and put the work in. I say this because I was in a position where I was faced with the career / hobby decision last year and realised that I was nowhere near ready to get serious about music yet. I know I will be soon (I'm only 20 years old), but just not at this point in life.
Good idea for a website, utilising the connects to make some $$ and help out people at the same time.
Although I do keep getting a mental image of Darkchild swimming in a big ass bathtub full of money with a Blazetrak logo on the side of it. Kinda feels as though this could be a bit of a "joke" for those big producers / celebrities who are involved with it. That's my pessimistic / skeptical side talking.

You made some GREAT points!! Blazetrak definitely is not for everyone. Its for people who see the REAL value in being able to get in touch with individuals that are so far up the food chain, it would take 10x as much money and effort to even have the chance to have their undivided attention to consider your creative work if it were went about in the normal fashion. Its for people who are confident in their creations to know that if a certain person were to hear or see, then some kind of opportunity would come about. Its for people who are tired of the empty promises of other companies and websites that promise you exposure to the decision makers (we have them on live streamed video responding to you...no one else does that)
Swimming in a bathtub of money...LOLOLOL. That was funny. Whats interesting about that is that these people are already swimming in money. Darkchild would need to do thousands and thousands of reviews on blazetrak to make anything significant (which of course he will not do). He is not going to sit in front of a Mac for hours at a time for $150 a shot when he can make a beat for 80k (with more on the backend) in less time. Think about that for a second....$150 vs 80k+++ Where do you think his time will be spent??? What REALLY makes him money??? This is NOT a way to make money for our professionals. This is a way to find the talent they are looking for, and to be compensated for the time they spend doing so, just like ANY other profession. People are paid hourly to do work, well why would you expect any different from our professionals. They are in fact working.
If you really take the time to think about it, there should really be no question, skepticism, or apprehensiveness to using Blazetrak.....and you get a refund if we don't hold up our end of the bargain....NO BRAINER!

What is a justifiable refund request?

Thats a good question Big Rome. A justifiable request is the following:
Video and/or audio is unclear.
Video and/or audio was not from person you submitted to.
Response was not completed in guaranteed time (30 days, unless otherwise specified). You can choose to wait though. If you choose to wait you cannot use this reason once response is completed.
Response was not to the level and satisfaction of Blazetrak standards. (now i know what you are gonna say here, "What does that mean??") If you get a response that does NOT offer anything of substance, value, advice, explanation, direction, opportunity etc, we will refund you. What we cannot do is refund you because a certain pro just didn't like your submission. Its one thing to say, "I dont like it, Thank you (Refund)...Its another thing to say, "I dont like it, but here is why, and here is what you need to do, and try this or that, etc etc.
I hope that helps.

so...what all does the $150 fee pay for? one file / beat to be listened to & reviewed? or does it pay for a time slot, where the reviewer listens to a few different tracks / submissions within a certain time frame?
R

1st let me reiterate that everyone on our site has a different fee. $150 is just Darkchild's fee that HE chose for a specific request. We have fees as low as $20. Each professional decides on they fee they want to charge for each request they create and are responding to. They are all different and you have to read each description to know precisely what they want you to submit, and what you will receive in return. There is no guesswork involved. It is all spelled out in front so you know exactly what to expect and submit (we dont hide anything). I can say that there are no time slots currently (the scenario that you described)
Here is an example. Rich Harrison is planning to sign a band to his label Richcraft. He requested a video file (3 mins) of a performance, and his fee is $199.99 for this specific request. He has to examine many different elements of the band to decide whether or not it is what he is looking for, and his video response will be for all elements of the band (each member) This will take a lot of time for him to be thorough, which justifies his higher fee. He also wants to sign a female latina who plays an instrument, his fee for this is only $125 (will take less time) and has completely different requirements and categories.
They are all different

You mentioned something about a "compilation track", where you submit like 3 minutes fading in and out of 5 different tracks...
what's the time limit? What's the file size limit? What's to stop someone from submitting an hour long track?

There is no time limit and the file size limit is 30MB, and there is nothing stopping a person from sending something that long. But we know that no one on our site will spend that long listening to your submission. It only takes a few minutes for someone to be able to form an opinion on your work, and be able to give a thorough response. Feel free to submit a compilation track if you want, just be sure to mention that in your notes to the pro so they are aware. You can only submit 1 file, but there are no rules on what you can fit on that 1 file..but again, don't expect them to listen to more than 5 mins or so, unless the specifically ask for a certain time limit, which some of them do.
Thanks

Well compared to some other sites who have a 6-8 weeks frame for a response, I think we are doing pretty well in this area. Our pros are busy people, they go on tour, on vacation, party too much, always working on projects. If we don't give them enough time to actually be able to sit down and give you something of quality, then none of this would work. We don't want them to feel rushed, so your responses will not be rushed.
It works very well so far. And rarely does it actually take the whole 30 days. We are probably operating on about a 6-10 day clip currently...but again, we only launched on Nov 1 st of this year, so we really dont have a large sample to pull from.

for some reason I don't believe you..getting money back from anybody is a hassle and just cuz a person gives their reason ,it's still left up to you or w/e and who's to say that you would agree

Well to date, we have not had one refund request yet, so everybody seems to be satisfied with their individual result. There are plenty of featured submission videos you can look at and you can see the video responses they received. If you don't think there was value in those, then Blazetrak probably is not for you.

I dont see your point. She is a former Miss USA WINNER and there are thousands of young girls and pageant mothers who would love the advice or direction of some one who won the biggest prize in the country in that industry.
Please explain what your issue is, if you don't mind, so we as a company can make adjustments....if necessary.
If you don't like or see the value in a particular professional....on to the next one! Im sure there is someone on or system you will find value in. If not, tell us who you DO see value in, and we will try to secure them for you.
Thanks
