As an engineer that works with auto tune artists everyday let me tell you what Sza is doing here is masterful recording for the style she’s going for. She’s contorting her voice to really manipulate the auto tune into the tone and character you hear on her records, it’s very intentional and only ppl really familiar with auto tune know how to do this
Giving away beats in exchange for future royalties doesn’t make sense.
If the artist asking for the beats gets no streams, you just got played for $0.
If they do get streams, they can just pay a reasonable advance so you can keep making a living.
I produced a song for a major label Artist in February of LAST YEAR and still have not been paid by the label for my beat…
This is also NOT the first time a label has taken over a year to pay me for my production.
The disrespect for Producers is insane.
