if you do music full time you gotta accept that most people will always think you’re a bum/failure. 2023 i got flown to dubai and moved into a mansion and it’s still “well you’re young so you have time to figure it out” like dawg come on
daily goals : 2 samples , 5 beats , 2 demos , 1 tik tok , 30 min practicing piano + guitar. that’s like 7 hours worth of stuff then spend 3 hours distributing everything and working on kits, branding, networking. i’m thinking out loud but ya i’m locked in
producer advice: if you hit someone to work and they say they charge for collabs either buy the collab or tell them you don’t pay for collabs but appreciate the response. don’t throw a tantrum in their dms you will burn that bridge for no reason
in 10 years i want to create an entire gated community of studios and apartments for music people to live and create in and make it like a safe haven where all the craziest records are made
almost gave this shit up 4 years ago. i had been making beats for 2 years with no results then i remembered i didn’t start this for results i started for the love and the freedom of self expression. keep going for the love and the results will follow you
i worked really hard for years to get good at music so i was ready for the opportunities that came later on . i’m still working on bettering my skills and i encourage everyone to take a step back and make better music before they try to push mid .
i really don’t want to have a specific sound . i just want people to hear a crazy beat and look up who produced it and be like “oh of course cd did this shit”
i promise you dont need plugins to make crazy music stop making excuses. i’ve been using all stock fl shit and one shot kits for the past 2 months making my best shit
my advice for producers who are just starting out: focus on bettering your work and making a unique sound, be respectful, and collab with people who compliment your sound nicely . if you do these things, after some time everything will fall into place
spend a few years in la , make connects , sign a nice pub , invest 1/4 of it , get land in a remote place , build small house , work remote , travel , live .
what if the 808 was in key in every song every always the time while it couldn’t be flat by 50 more cents more than the chords bass note timing when melodic sharper than yeat bell after key out of the beats spinz hitting the hard notes flat one
lot of producers+artists can do way better than the shit they put out. stop overthinking and trust your vision. no more dumbing down the art cause you want it to be a hit that shits lame and flops 95% of the time
if you wanna make timeless music don’t make shit for a certain genre or artist. think of a moment in your life and make music that you’d want to listen to in that moment
be respectful to everyone with good intentions . lot of tables turn in this game , don’t look like an idiot in 2 years when that dude you clowned in dm pops out with a
#1
when you’re creating, take your time and pay attention to what you’re doing, don’t rush it . a lot of people are so talented but got the wrong mindset and never really fulfill their creative potential
it’s been a year since i discovered the automation chain sauce for one shots. gonna bring this back, these old starters are insane and it’s just one layer of a one shot. absolutely cracked
if producers + engineers had bigger %s on songs they’d put in more work to make better music cause the performance of the record will directly benefit them. if it’s just an advance and a fraction of a % no one really cares what happens after that advance hits
y’all gotta chill with the extra shit when you’re sending loops . i been getting emails like “some new fun little sounds i’ve been crafting ! remember to smile ! *THE CONTENTS OF THIS EMAIL ARE EXCLUSIVELY INTENDED FOR THIS RECIPIENT* “ shut upppp broo
i don’t even sell beats like that but if i sell you a beat i am not obligated to be your biggest fan and keep in touch . we’re not dating bro , stop the weird shit .
