[RecordTogether]

Hello,

My name is Mike and I run the music collaboration website http://www.recordtogether.com. It's a website that allows songwriters to post a classified-type ad for musicians they want to perform on their song.

Just wanted to give a heads up that somebody is looking for a clarinet recording for their Jazz piece. You would record your addition to the song, upload it to the website, and if the songwriter likes it - you will earn $35 to your Paypal Account!

Listen to and download the song here and start recording!

Thanks,

$35!!! Pay peanuts, get monkey.

Buyer retains all rights to the performance. Hmmmmm.

Is THAT the basic recording rate you guys are going for?! Or is that the offer that the buyer is presenting? If that's the buyer's price, then I guess he'll just have to learn. I'm just saying... I've got no problem with work for hire, but a buyout is gonna run about three times that rate for an hour.

Plus, it appears that you only get paid 'if they like it'.

Oooooohhh, I think I did a job on spec for that site once. Spent an hour tracking, and never heard back. Of course, maybe the blasts of white noise on the demo track I sent them had something to do with that... LOL Yeah, not worth it, but I don't think the site sets the prices. Studiotraxx.com is much better for musicians!

Wow, that's insulting.............

On second thought.......after looking at the site, I guess it is kind of cool and more geared towards hobbyists who would find it exciting to take part in a recording. I could see how it would be cool to have a bunch of people submit tracks and you win. That would feel good........I probably would have done it in high school and thought it was cool.

............I probably would have done it in high school and thought it was cool.

Precisely....and me too, but that is not a fair rate of pay for a professional musician.
