I responded to a Craigslist Ad saying that someone by the name of CJ was looking for serious singers in all genres to submit their demos for a chance to come in record quality music and get 'shopped' to Universal Record Executives. I submit my demos and he quickly responds that he likes my stuff and wants me to come in to meet with him and his producer and to talk about taking my career to the 'next level'. I get there and they tell me they want $800 for studio time and that they would pay the engineer. They promised me amazing studio quality music that I couldn't find in any other studio, and that the executives at Universal Records would only listen to the music presented by them because they know them. The Producer who went by Tim kept talking about how he knew and has worked with Mary J. Blidge and all these other celebrities and kept talking about his lavish lifestyle to make me believe that he really was a somebody. Turns out he was once a rapper from the 90's who went by the name of Father MC and the guy who reached out to me from Craigslist name is James Jason Calahan. They have been running scams, and ripping young aspiring artist for years! If you ask them too many questions (especially James) they get really verbally agressive in their tone and start to make you feel bad about questioning them and that they are doing you such a huge favor and start to pull crap out of their butts about how you won't ever amount to anything if you don't do this deal. After 5 hours I only recorded 2 songs and they persuaded me to come back a second day for another $400. The so called engineer they had there didn't take down a single note when I was explaining to him all the effects and things I wanted done to my 4 songs I recorded, I was very specific and the fact that he didn't write any of it down should have been a huge red flag. I get my music back via email about a week later and it sounds like complete crap. He literally didn't do anything but throw some heavy autotune over my vocals and called it a day. None of the things I wanted done to my music was done, he blatently just threw autotune over it and was done. I didn't get anything I asked for. Now I have to sleep in my car because he manipulated me so well that he pursuaded me to give him $1200 total of the money I had saved to pay rent whenever I found an apartment because I had just driven 2,200 to LA from Michigan. He refuses to aknowledge that the things I'm complaining about is is a fault on his behalf and he keeps trying to twist my words and make it seem that I'm made at my own lyrics and my own beat rather than the terrible mixing that was done. I am NOT upset with the lyrics, or the beat, that doesn't even make sense! Stay FAR away from this man. He is good for trying to say that all the reports about him are fake and that you would be missing out big time if you listened to them and not work with him, RUN AWAY!!!!!!! He is a master manipulater!

The Truth about the Recording Studio

That was not my experience at all. It s true there is a fee$$ but Producer is a great writer and vocal Producer as well. Studio s are facilities and they don't come with Producers and great songs. They are facilities. Not babysitters which is what the Artist who wrote that review needed. Talent is subjective and Some artists could not be successful with Timbaland . The internet is abused by artists that are sour grapes and blame everyone but themselves for their lack of talent. Ron Bennett. Universal Records Artist
