The song however, is unlike anything this man has ever heard. It's truly unique, and very infectious. The lead vocal is captivating and the singer is sweating emotion from every pore. Because it's a hit song. The first demo had everything going right for it but the song.
Record companies are in business to make money.
They bet a portion of the farm on every release. You can bet dollars to donuts that they would much rather bet on a hit song than a demo with great engineering, great production and a fancy cover. Buy yourself a home studio system that you can afford, and learn to use it well. But remember, it's not important to become a gear junkie. Gear won't get you signed to a record deal.
