This blog is the final in this series. If you missed part 12, jump back here, or head back to part 1 to start from the beginning.

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 12 – The Mix

This blog is part 12 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 11. The next day passed without anything arriving to my inbox. On Sunday morning, October 26th, I was working away at my computer when it came through.  It was labeled incorrectly. It was also labeled as a master.  I found this odd also.  For starters I know I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 12 – The Mix

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 11 – The Fifth Session

This blog is part 11 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 10. It was a little while again before I heard back from the producer about scheduling the vocal workshop. I reached out a couple times and then finally he responded and had changed his tune about it again. We were no longer going to do the vocal workshop … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 11 – The Fifth Session

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 10 – The Workshop

This blog is part of an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 9. With my Gibson, Marshall Amp and Bass in tow, the next day I made my way to the session. My understanding leading into this session was that this artist had a song in the works with the producer which I was sent a file of. They needed to … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 10 – The Workshop

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session

This blog is part 9 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 8 now. My next session was scheduled for September 11th which was good because I had a bit of homework. I ran through my song on bass and came up with parts based on what we’d done to that point. Again, a pretty simple song, so a pretty … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session

This blog is part 8 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to Part 7 now. The next day I was invited out to the studio to hop on another session.

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 7 – The Third Session

This blog is part 7 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 6. The following week I re-recorded my acoustic guitar rhythm track and we’d spoken in person about booking the Thursday to meet up again and go over everything and continue the project so I was anticipating that. I also very quickly re-recorded a new scratch vocal track just … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 7 – The Third Session

This blog is part 6 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 5. The next session date was originally scheduled for July 20th, but as the day approached it had to be moved. The engineer wanted to go out of town, so we moved our session to the 25th instead. In our e-mail back and fourth trying to re-schedule, I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 6 – The Second Session

This blog is part 5 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 4. So I waited for the link that didn’t arrive. I had to reach out a couple times before I eventually heard back from the producer about scheduling the session.  Whereas our first interaction was at the end of March, I didn’t actually receive the information to schedule … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer?

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 4 – The First Official Project Meeting

This blog is part 4 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 3 here. I was a little surprised when I hopped into the scheduling page to find that I wouldn’t be scheduling our first session. Instead it would just be a virtual meeting to discuss next steps.  That part is all well and good, I figured, but I had to laugh … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer?
