Holy shit I just sold a beat for $47,000.

Subtractive EQ'ing is almost always the answer to getting rid of all the 'strange' noises going on with an audio track. I see a lot of people jump to boosting first.
My rule is: Subtract before you Add. Rarely have an issue with that method.

Had a genuine conversation with a guy today who sells Mastering services multiple times a week and just pays for those online instant Mastering sites but charges double & takes the profit.
Does that annoy me as an engineer? Yes. Gotta respect the hustle though.

My first ever beat made over $20k dollars from a YouTube video
I engineered for 5 years for FREE prior to this opportunity.
Before this is sang for FREE at any event that would take me.

Last year I did a Mix & Master job for an artist I’d worked with multiple times and they just decided to not pay upon completion so I chose to hold the song (they had a minute reference preview).

Anyone who’s known me on here for a while from interacting or working together knows how long I’ve been at this & grinding out the work. It’s so bizarre to me after posting a big achievement the sheer amount of fellow producers & engineers sending me abuse in the DMs. Very odd.

Been doing this over 10 years and my first 5 were for free just trying to get my name in any door that would open. Since the door ‘opened’ I’ve had nothing but more struggle, more hassle, more headaches but I realised the joy was in the creation, not the business.

I once had a billboard record which I mixed & mastered off of a tv soundbar as that was all that was available so no, you don’t need a $10k set of studio monitors to play the game.

Thick skin is a necessity in this industry. You’re going to have some of your best days followed by a whole bunch of lows / feelings of going nowhere. That’s just life as a creative.

As a producer never trap yourself in a box. You want to have the ability to make a wide range of styles / genres in the bag. That opens you up to such a wider clientele base & you’re going to learn so much more than you would staying confined to one genre.

When it comes to music production, nobody starts out great. We've all had to put in years of work to get where we are now.
Remember that next time you're belittling these kids posting their first beats online. You were that kid once.

I personally think that Plate Reverbs are the best overall. They feel way more natural than Chambers or Hall and also not as forced as Room reverbs.

I understand that going to the studio can be fun but a lot of the time for artists the budget can be better spent elsewhere.
Investing one time in your own recording set up and finding a good engineer to Mix & Master the records would save you so much money in the long run.

One of the best hands on / efficient ways to learn how to engineer is by clicking things in your DAW until it sounds good.

I chose to step away from the Artist side to solely focus on the Engineering / Production side because to me, nothing could compare to my obsession with song creation & helping others achieve their vision. Touring is fun, radio is fun but that’s all temporary. Songs last forever.

There's a big difference between Vocal Tuning & Auto-Tune.
Please be specific. One sounds natural and takes a good amount of time, the other takes 5 seconds.

Artists:
Get yourself a LinkTree and have every DSP neatly available. Let the audience chose where they want to listen & have as few clicks as possible.
If it takes too long to find they’ll move on & forget about you.

When the music’s flowing, streams are pouring in & sales flying through the roof, this is the easiest job in the world.
When the inevitable opposite comes around this career can create the most soul destroying, lonely & isolated existence.

The biggest mistake I see artists make when it comes to marketing is setting the sole focus on social media followers. The followers will come once the music is being heard. Don’t forget that.

Your recording equipment doesn’t have to be top of the range in order to achieve great results.
On the road with artists we’ve used an SM57 into a 2i2 sat in a hotel room & the song blew up.
It’s not about the equipment per se, it’s how you use it.

Having a good Mix is far more important than a Master. Without a good Mix I’d say it’s pointless paying for Master.

I see a lot of engineers offering only 2-3 ‘revisions’ maximum per song they do for artists.
I can’t get behind that. If someone’s paying you for your service you should be experienced enough to listen to the artists needs & be able to execute it effectively. Putting a cap on

When I first got started as a young mix & master engineer nobody would work with me. Understandably as I had no portfolio.
I started offering my services for free so artists could hear my work at no cost of their own & within 2 years I was touring as an in-house producer.

You’ve written the song, paid for the Beat, spent time & money Recording, paid for the Artwork, paid for the Distribution, paid for Marketing but paying to have the song professionally Mixed & Mastered is where the line is drawn?
Make that make sense.

It's becoming rarer and rarer these days to find artists who simply have their own unique sound. I'd definitely say it was far more common maybe 5/6 years ago.

The first 100k streams is the hardest to get. After that it all starts to snowball.
Took me years to reach my first 100k and within the 6 months following I'd hit 1 million.
You'll know when you've found what works & it differs from Artist to Artist.

There’s such a misconception that the only way to succeed in this industry is by locking yourself away & working yourself to death. Trust me it’s not the way. Enjoy life & enjoy every step of your journey, it will all happen when your time is right.

I started considering them projects because although small & often one-offs, it helped my perspective on treating them with as much care & detail as I would with a 10-12 song album for example.

Cutting out all of the Breaths from a vocal track can & almost always removes the ‘life’ from the take.
Yes it can sound super clean from an engineering standpoint but it can also ruin a song.

Unpopular opinion but depending on the context / style of music, often times an overly perfect, surgical mix can suck the living life out of the song.
