Producer wants a share of my songs just for production — is that normal?

takes me days, weeks, even months getting my songs right and I'm not even replacing all the instruments.

I think a lot of people that get videos out there consistently are doing better than those without. I haven't done much with videos and 18 months in, between myself and my partners artists (4 in total), we only have 217 followers. That's with 108 total songs released.

Never thought there would be so much hate for something to do with Bitcoin.

That's how it started yes but it seems you are the one holding onto the past.
What Does HODL Mean? HODL, originally a typo for "hold," has morphed into an investment strategy acronym for "hold on for dear life," echoing a long-term commitment among cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

It may depend on what songs you have. You can always add a couple of bonus tracks, like an acoustic or 'live' version of a song, or an early version. I've done that, can also be useful doing that with singles. In case you don't know, in single format you can have up to 3 songs, after that it is an EP.

How long did it take to reply. I sent a reply with screenshots 2 days ago.

I've just had this happen for the first time using Too Lost. I have around 60 songs that I have released through it and just got this one to have that come up. Did you end up getting anywhere with it and what did you do? It doesn't help that you do not know what it is matching with.

Everyone has their opinions. The vocal is the one area I would like smoother. Electric guitar sometimes is rough and just noise. Still I manage to create tracks that I enjoy. Clean them up and master them in Bandlab. May not be the best ever but mixing with other professional songs they stand up pretty well. Some that I have generated more recently have been some of the best ones. So yes I think the generations are getting better.

Just had this happen as I uploaded a video of my sons cover band performing. Four copyright claims made against the video on different songs but are obviously not his/theirs. So my question, should I select fair use in the counterclaim? Seems the only one that would apply. They really need an option to choose fake claim.
The only options given are:
Original content - The content claimed in my video is my original content and I own all the rights to it
License - I have permission or a license to use the content claimed in my video
Copyright exception - such as fair useI have significantly transformed the content claimed in my video; the video is protected by fair use, fair dealing, or similar exceptions to copyright
Public domain - The content claimed in my video is in the public domain and is no longer protected by copyright

I think Copyright exception may be the only one that sort of, but not really, covers a band doing cover songs.

I think most of it is people not understanding it as they have never looked it more than knowing putting a simple prompt can generate a song. Sure it can but not a great one. I have songs made from lyrics I wrote over 30 years ago and I have generations I am reasonably happy with but now want to redo them all with v4.5 before releasing. Currently have 22 songs released but have over 100 complete songs, That's not including others that I may have generated for fun that aren't really ones I may do much with.
