Yes, when one enters a commercial approach, when it is necessary that it brings back to pay for its needs, the time factor becomes crucial, so it is necessary to run, to produce, to privilege the quantity rather than the quality. Therefore, it is a calculation to minimize the risks, to see what are the trends of the moment, what works commercially, etc. And it can be interesting to turn to ready-to-use soundbanks and presets, etc. But, as the majority of producers are not financial sharks, this often yields nuts ...
It's pretty much the same in all sectors of activity:
must put your soul to rent,
knowing that if you sell it,
it could bring in more $ ...
so, you have no choice:
is it to rent or to sell?
And the underground in there, and the art ? I don't know. Art is a commercial product like the others for a long time ... And I guess that to allow yourself to evolve in the underground, money does not have to be an immediate problem. It comes down to about two profiles: those who don't need to work, and the others.
Underground or not, the roots is the same, the tree is old, and its fruits a litle bitter
I am really disgusted with anyone who is calculating when entrying music industry.
But where there is a demand for satisfying plebeian (lol) tastes there will be more people looking for money and treating music, not as a form of expression but another product to sell.
I think it is good to find balance.
I worked full time for some time but then I decided - fuck this, I really felt miserable. Also, I decided that I don't need so much money so I I am just working part-time now (I need to work to survive). Then I decided to study Philosophy because why not, I still have some time left. And now I have even some time to make music.
Of course, there are people who think in the categories of success-failure and are looking for instant gratification. The plan their lives, can't take any risks...
But this is a too big limitation of freedom for me.
