Yeah, I kinda wondered about that… I'm gonna try anyway though.
Interesting how there is no mention of what being one of their "professional sample producers" really means if you win or if there is any compensation for the sample work they will undoubtedly have you do afterwards…

Professional sample producers don't get paid shit. Everything they does gets put on a torrent by some zitty kids and then they don't get paid. Torrent sites are screwing the hell out of developers. It's why all of the software and sound sets we covet cost so much. The honest few pay to support the greedy, cheap losers of the world.
Asswipes!

Otoh, it's an EXTREMELY saturated market. And mostly, what it's saturated with is feces. There are new sample sets being released every effing day, and most of them seem very unambitious, amateurish or downright sucky. Anyone who "dabbles in cubase" can sell their "beats" online with a few minutes of work these days… I have no idea who buys that stuff though, probably no one.
