That's too bad. I loved the videos, your work on them is superb. I can certainly understand how there's a value in them. That said, I give my music away and it's always a bit painful to see someone else give up on free (although usually it's bands getting signed, heh).

Skilless, where does one find your music?

 

thanks,

:shock:

 

Surely you don't give everything you do in your life away for free? Otherwise, how do you earn a living? So you just said you're not a professional musician, that's totally fine, but unless you still live with your parents, or inherited a large sum of money, I suppose you're a professional-something. I don't know what you do for a living, let's say you work in an office - you don't provide your services for free: you get paid for them.

 

And what's wrong with being a professional musician, selling music for a living, or being a professional Logic trainer, selling Logic videos for a living?

 

You say you're giving your music away for free. Let's say a record label approaches you and offers you to sell your music, allowing you to make a professional career out of it, and let's say you find the idea appealing and you accept - should we think any less of you because you're no longer giving your music away for free?

but what inquiring minds want to know.....how many times did you have to rehearse them before you recorded them so that you DIDN'T say 'wassup M-F'r" ??

 

:D :D :D :D :D :D

 

and I miss some of the more 'interesting' track icons 8)

 

nice work, pal. Congrats on the gig, man!! Paying work is good :)

I'm a fan of waterboy's work and have his youtube channel subscribed should videos show up there again. To be clear, my disappointment is not in selling videos, but in removing videos that were already on youtube.

 

There are many examples of music having a free component, of course, like Air, Metric and Radiohead. More similar to Waterboy would be someone like Ryan Gruss (http://ryangruss.com/ for those who are missing out) who releases a few free loops monthly in addition to much larger for-pay collections. Or even David Nahmani who runs an online forum in making excellent books and workshops ;)

 

To learn more about business models that have a free component read Chris Anderson's recent book, Free (www.scribd.com/doc/17135767/FREE-by-Chris-Anderson for americans, available free elsewhere for the rest of us). There's also Trent Reznor's well-known forum post, for musicians at least.

 

I was hoping the youtube videos were a starting point for something bigger, but something that would keep the youtube component. I'm only disappointed that it didn't turn out that way - I don't think any less of Waterboy (WB, dude, I love ya).

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying your position and sorry for misinterpreting you. Apparently Scott removed the videos that were the same basis for the videos that are now published (most probably at the request of his publisher), which doesn't mean he won't have some free videos in the future:

 

I have intentions on creating some new videos for the YouTube "environment"

But the subjects that I have covered in the commercial product will not be back on YouTube.

I followed the link, it says:

 

This full free book offer is now over....

 

:lol:

 

That's hilarious. As I'm not in the US I can't visit the page, so I assumed it was working :oops:
