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

I think the point that your website is NOT just for music isn't as obvious for some people, I mean ok the domain is "blaze - TRAKS" like "tracks" or "beatz".

Maybe that can be taken as an improvement tip, although the website doesn't state nowhere that it's a producers site, it can be made obvious that it's not one lol and that it's for much more people.

"Blazetrak is the first website to allow anyone in the world to get in touch with a highly sought after professional (celebrity) for a fee and receive a guaranteed video response from that professional."

It says that pretty clear on the homepage, i guess since we are here on this site discussing it, the impression was that its just music. And the name Blazetrak was chosen as play on words to quicken "Blaze" your path "trak" to success in any industry, by getting you closer to a decision maker or opportunity provider faster than anywhere else.
 
just seems like yet another gimmick...someone who has access to industry insiders exploiting those who don't..not saying thas what it is but you never know esp in these times where everybody is selling something..I just saw a thread where someone got the idea 'well,everybody is sampling nowadays and everybody is always looking for samples..why don't I try to charge ppl for theses samples!' ... shyt is crazy

Hustlers in the hood, hustlers in the interwebz. :cry:

That's gonna be the new hiphop saying for 2010 and I'm going to make it popular... haha
 
All those producers (Cox, Darkchild) are well connected throughout the internet on Twitter, websites etc...I'm pretty sure there's a cheaper way to get their attention than this, if you really want to. Granted, handing close to two benjamins per submission will get anybody's attention.

This is a bit beside the point (the board is Rap/Hip Hop anyway), but she was also dethroned because of boozing and admitted abusing cocaine and anti-depressants. Yeah, a great role model

But whatever...it's not like I'm ever even seriously considering blowing that kind of money on this site.

I'm also a bit suspicious what would you even get for your money...a video that's shot with a Macbook webcam of Brian Cox replying with "I really liked the drums, keep doin what u doin". :rolleyes:

Well I guess no one will buy any Tiger Woods stuff anymore after cheating with 10 women. Oh well....

I wish you luck in whatever it is you have been doing (or trying to do) to make it in this business. Like someone said earlier, " If B.Cox or Darkchild or whoever called you on the phone right now and said fly to LA to play me 2 beats and thats it, you would be on Expedia.com in a second buying a plane ticket for $500"...whats the difference? You get the same opportunity on Bt for less...If you are not happy, ask for a refund...its that simple.

But hey, if Myspace, Twitter, Soundclick, PMP, Taxi, passing demos off at the club, spamming Sony or Universal, talking to "A&R's" is working for you in your career to get deals, placements, opportunities, etc., more power to you homie....Again, I wish you luck.

Say that to Zay-T (featured on the Homepage of Blazetrak), who is now producing for Rich Harrison.

But hey, you have your own opinion. Good Luck!
 
cats would rather focus on imaginary drawbacks than the opportunity.

wow.

The difference is in your example is B.Cox actually wants to listen to your beats. That's not the same as paying someone to listen. If B.Cox was really looking for people he wouldn't be charging.

That said if you're really good it's probably worth a shot, who knows what could happen. I think deep down most people aren't confident in their music enough to invest.

Why is there a fee?

There is a fee because TEN THOUSAND people x100 are trying to get B.COX, Darkchild, Midi Mafia, Rich Harrison etc., to listen to their music. How would they ever be able to listen to all of that, and would it even be worth the time, resources and effort to do so? The answer is NO, and i think we all agree on that. Does that make them any less interested to listening and finding someone to actually work with? The answer is NO, and i think we all agree on that also. Why does Blazetrak work for them? Because it SHRINKS that pool down to a few thousand who are serious, better, more equipped, and READY, and see the value and opportunity in front of them, rather then complain about how hard it is to get a break. It allows them the chance to focus on the submission because good or bad, its not a waste of time, money, resources or effort anymore, because they are getting a fee....which equals quality responses. The last thing any of our Pro's want to happen is for you to say they are ripping you off, which is what would happen if they give you BS in return, then all of a sudden their credibility is shot, and no will submit to them anymore anyway.

I really don't see how its so hard to comprehend.

Thats why there is a fee.

Thanks
 
Going into 2010 anybody that is serious about sustaining long term viability in the music business (not synonymous with music industry) understands that your number one priority is to build your BRAND visibility amongst your customers (music fans) and not with your COMPETITION (established musicians). For those that look at themselves as running a business as oppose to having a talent 'looking for lucky lotto break'. Save that for the PROSUMER crowd that are content with just being involved in the process even if its artifically manufactured.

I challenge the 'industry bigs' to utilize the online technology for true business INNOVATION instead of doing a quick fire sale off of their brand names. When the hustles end and the real new businesses emerge THEN you will see hope for a dying industry.

Yep LD is in the building, lets go....
 
All Legal Dollaz has to do is drop some buzzwords and people think he's a god lol.

No diss though Legal, you're posts are always well informed as well as informative.

I completely disagree with half of your response. First of all (and I mean no disrespect when I say this), But none of our pros would probably consider you competition. And your word "competition" is very misguided and tunnel visioned. All of our Pro's have labels, publishing companies, production companies, record companies and other businesses that NEED OTHER talented people for them to succeed. Its not a 1 man show. And what better way to build your brand then to be associated with a BRAND NAME. Who has the better chance of making it?

Cat A....Doing what all you guys are doing now (Im not knockin the hustle by any means)...

Cat B....Gets on Darkchild's team and has DC cosign for him to the millions of fans DC already has? Gets introduced to all the major players in the game as the new kid on the block, gets work just by being with DC.

How do you think most of the Big named cats got big???

Who put Rich Harrison on?
Who put Bryan Michael Cox on?
Who put Darkchild on?
Who put Dallas Austin on?
Who put Kanye West on?
Who put Danja Handz on?

Do your homework kid before you start spitting about how to make it this here production game.

Thank you.

You are correct....and you submitting doesn't guarantee that you are good enough to even fill that roll...but the pro still listens and responds, which would be a total waste of his time if he were doing it for free...RIGHT?

Thats why there is the fee...so its not a waste of time if you are NOT good enough. But rather then u hear nothing back (if they even listened) in any other situation, now you actually get advice, tips, direction, understanding, THE RESPECT that your creation was even paid attention to.

Maybe its hard for you guys to see it, because you have never been on the other side of it. Have u ever logged into MySpace and seen 500 messages with people begging u to listen, but u know that 485 are garbage, but you want those 15 that are not, but u would never go through the 500 because of the time it would take to do so to find the 15. And you feel bad because these are fans, and the Hot 15 misses out because of other 485. Our pros goes thru this times 1000. They wish they could listen to all of you, but it makes no sense just to find a few who actually cut it

Ok, first of all, it's quite CLEAR who is representing their BUSINESS on this forum and who is WASTING TIME on this forum dropping false knowledge (cough legal, cough dollarz). You have over 900 posts and I have yet to find a post related to your business. Perhaps, you may need to go to the "Future Philosophers" forum and get educated on how to drop some real knowledge. Do you truly know anything about the music business/industry? How can you judge someone who has in fact achieved a level of success and you haven't? You will still be here 900 posts later while others who understand "opportunities" will be much further along. That's just my two cents (well in your case, dollars)!
