friskybri Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wouldn't that suck if you made a custom sequence for someone else and they won the contest. Beating anything you made for your own display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 LENNY RUEL wrote: Another thing we've seen from a few of the sequence for hire people is the problem with getting work done for their customers.That's the kind of show-your-bias blanket statement that could start a redneck fight in an empty room. "from a few of..." Really? A FEW? More than just a couple? Sounds like a corrupt group of vermin that definitely needs some light shined on them. So unless you're just blowing smoke, how about helping us all out here and lets hear some names of people/companies who are doing that?When it comes to liars, predators and thieves, I'm all about protecting my friends here, and especially newbies And it sounds like you are too. So let's do that. Those who don't deliver sequencing as promised need to be identified just like any other vendor who screws people over. Plus, as a competitor of those people, in addition to being offended by your remark, I've got a dog in this fight.For the record, I had work on my desk from March thru November last year and every single one of my clients got their complete orders in time for decorating season. How did that happen? By being honest and responsible and saying no thanks when I knew I was full instead of being greedy.And thank you Paul for making the distinction between "sequences" and "custom sequencing". Last year all I did was custom sequencing. This year I added many of my existing sequences for sale. Evan mentioned how to set their value? I wrestled with that for months. Sequencing 144 channels in '08 took me about 8-9 hours per song minute. Sequencing 304 channels in '09 took about 12 hours per song minute.Even at minimum wage ($7.15) that's a $174 for a two minute song. I ain't the greatest sequencer in the world, but an awful lot of people tell me I'm in the top ten percent. If that's even close to being true, then my services should be worth at least minimum wage, wouldn't you say? Yet the most expensive sequence I offer is a six minute one for $60. So before y'all get yourselves so bent out of shape that you need to see your chiropractor (instead of using that money to buy one of my sequences) try doing a little math and lets put a few things into perspective here. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Grygierczyk Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I am one of those who has "no computer skills" but have a lot of other talents that help me put on a great display. However, that would not have been possible if it were not for George sequencing 19 songs (96 channels) for me this past year. They were all great!!Thanks George, I am looking forward to having you do some more this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem5136 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you George! I agree 100% with you. I've been doing custom sequencing for only a year (I've been syncing way longer though) and because of that, I had a few kinks to work out, but I was honest will every one of my customers and I made sure they all got what they wanted, and I solved any problems they might of had (like a channel being on the wrong controller, or something like that). I did have to be honest with a few people and tell they that I just didn't have enough time to sequence for them, which I hated doing because I love sequencing so much, but I didn't want to leave someone empty handed.

jem5136 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 All of my custom sequences were "custom custom sequences" I used the customers layout and sequenced the songs they chose. If they wanted to see any of my own personal sequences, I would send it to them. I don't really see the point in charging for someone else sequence they used themselves.

There is nothing wrong with a paid service, and there is nothing wrong with a free service. We're all helping folks out, whether we have free items or not.(I should also point out my so called "free" service made $350 in ad revenue during the 2 years I had ads on the site.) Perspective is in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue_653 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I understand if one wants to sell there stuff for a profit we all have to make a living, then again for most of us this is a hobby. But that being said I have very grave concerns saying that you will buy a MP3 for a person if they choose but yet then you are going to make a $1 proffit off of someone elses work. That in itself I would have to think would be illegal, I mean why dont we go ahead a scalp songs just like people scalp tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not making a $ profit. He is spending that dollar on the song.If you purchased a sequence from AL they do the same thing, "purchase the song on your behalf".
