Yeah, it’s really a jungle here lately… Just some of the things I noticed:
1.In other topic today was discussed how corporate tracks are named “ragtime” (?!?!)
2.I saw one of the tracks from respected elite author disappear from popular files last month, then I heard the exact same melody/progression/used sounds on the radio. ( big pop 2018 hit) So I guess it was probably removed due to copyright violation. I don’t know if it was sampled or just replicated very well…
-
Someone bragged here about huge number of ratings and sales on a new track. (really unrealistic ratio of ratings vs sales), then when it was called out by other author for potentially purchasing and rating his own items, he disappeared from this topic.
-
“Ambient” music CLONES. We all know what that means.
-
Everyone’s profile looks the same. They copy the current top author, and it’s the exact same profile layout. Not a big problem, but it’s not a really good way to stand out from the crowd.
-
I hear the exact same melody in 5-6 tracks in popular files through multiple genres. It’s that main catchy line from AurusAudio’s most popular track. So, it looks like Aurus has a lot of fans here, they should make a tribute band.
-
People here have multiple accounts and sell the same stuff.
-
People here are exclusive but are all around the royalty free markets selling the same items.
So many things gone wrong and almost everyone is cheating.
I’m not the most talented producer here, but I really spend a lot of time on each track, and I try not to copy someone or cheat the system. So when I see all this stuff, I just feel stupid.
