I had a meeting today with a guy who's produced a lot of records in Nashville. He said something to the effect that if I create my own backing track using, say, royalty free samples and midi drum loops I bought from Groove Monkee or someplace like that, that record labels, streaming services or radio programmers would not touch it because it wouldn't "scan"; meaning there weren't people who you identify who played those parts, for royalty purposes. But this dosen't make sense with all the people nowadays getting famous off songs they recorded in GarageBand, and surely they didn't use real backing musicians. Sounds to me like a not-very-well-informed opinion. Am I right about this?
