Re: [Discussion] Does anyone still submit their new music to record labels?

Yes I saw Taxi.com but they seem to ask you for 299-399 dollars just to subscribe.....then its 5$ a month.

I wasn't kidding when I said they capitalize.

I guess the question is, would everyone use a service where they would pay small fees to get their music critiqued by the right people in record labels or other similar connections etc?

No not everyone but a lot would use such a service and that service is called Taxi. They have a variety of critics in different aspects of the music industry.
The fact that Taxi is still in business shows many people do trust they can get positive results out of that kind of a service.
Personally i think it's all bullshit. When I listened to demos doing A&R duties, there were boxes and boxes and BOXES AND HOLY SHIT MORE BOXES of submissions and not once did I find any band worth signing.
So figure that's the case with Taxi submissions. Now imagine ALL those artists getting feedback to write a song that has the possibility to hit jackpot. That means EVERYBODY would eventually hit jackpot solely based on the critique and inpuut from Taxi's services and that's clearly not the case.
Not EVERYBODY is getting income from songs accepted by Taxi even with the critique services they provide.
The most the majority of subscribers will get is a "Good Job" pat on the back and a "thanks" for paying the monthly subscription.
And the way they keep subscribers is through vain hope. "Oh yes Bobby. Your song "Touch Me Baby While I Shit is almost there. We just need more cowbell."
