the other side is saying, "that isn't the point at all, the point is that the mooks sit around and listen to perfectly edited songs with auto tuned vox day in and day out, you xstand no chance if you stick out" |

This doesn't make sense to me. I thought the whole point is to "stick out" and sound different. Otherwise you end up in the "circular file" with all the other crap. It's worse than I thought, I guess. I'm with you on this one, J. |

should the band just be represented as they are? |

I'd say if you can represent the band as they want to be, rather than as they are, everyone will be very happy |

to me, i really don't think i should dive in a edit anything, i think that crosses a line that i haven't been asked to cross. |

If you ask me, you already screwed up! The band should go with their gut. They should do whatever the hell they want. The only people the musicians should be impressing is their fans. The fact that you already second guessed yourself, means there is a problem. If these guys are bad asses and their risk / profit assesment looks good enough, a label will pick them up. I'm not sure how the risk to profit ratio can be altered with auto-tune and plastic drums. I'm sure the clothes they wear and their hair styles make a bigger difference to the risk / profit ratio. After all, the majority of people buying the cds are concerned more with image than music anyway. In closing, everyone should be what they want to be. Brandon |

the question still stands, do i take something that has (what i think to be) enormous marketability, and squeeze it through the tiny parameters of what is major label pop nowa days. or do i keep, again what i think to be, a record full of life and great performances? |
