sign to a major label and give up all your royalties so you can play Coachella and have photoshopped crowds

you thought sampling was bad? I just took a picture of someone's ableton project file and ChatGPT remade it in FL studio for me.

You don't need a label. Not a single label in sight and I'm doing numbers creating whatever music I want AND keeping 100% of my royalties. Indie is the future.

producers calling out other producers for using samples - you're not the target audience bro, and the average listener doesn't care that you used a cymatics guitar loop because they don't even know wtf that means.

lets be real, 99% of you wouldn't even know what to do if a major artist DM'd you a placement at a venue or set - are you even slightly prepared? Do you have merch ready, a press kit, or gear insurance? Do you even know how to be in front of a crowd, how's your stage presence?.

I honestly don't know how motivated I would be to finish a song if I had to spend $50 on a mix $50 on a master and $50 on artwork every single time.

Twitter should partner with Spotify and add a 'Now Playing' status to tweets/profiles for music, and a clickable @ for the Artist's profile.

tell your producer friend you love how the kick disappears in the mix if you wanna gaslight them.

If you mix your own music, aim for everything playing at once to hit between -3 and -6 on your Master Channel. The way you achieve this will vary off levels you find that work for your sound. Example: My subs hit -12 to -9, Kicks -6 to -3, Vocals -6 to -3, Synths -10 to -6.

people are paying $9 for a gallon of milk and $10 in gas to go get it, no one is buying your $80 playlist service, your $100 master, your $150 mix, or your $400 beat.

if you wanna gaslight a producer just ask them how they make their kicks so quiet and that you really like it.

music is produced from the heart mixed by the ear and mastered in the mind.

full transparency - I worked in an Amazon warehouse for 5 years straight pulling 10 hour shifts then coming home and working on music until it finally started making enough that I could buy some land build a studio and quit.

you're not allowed to come on here and give production advice anymore until you can do this.
Polyrhythm is the simultaneous use of two or more rhythms. Tapping exercises with the metronome are important to master the most basic of polyrhythms. And it's something that requires huge coordination. [📹 Débora Noemi].

"bro how can you live off $25 a master that's way too cheap". 4 Masters a day x $25 = $100 x 30 = $3000 x 12 = 40k+ a year. my question to you is how can you NOT live off that - lower your lifestyle choices, drop that new car payment bro, stop spending money on jewelry bro 🤡.

when your music starts getting the love it deserves remember to stay humble and thankful.

My 23 year old cat passed away this morning, I just buried her in the field here on my farm, she was loved and I'm going to need a moment because this hurts pretty bad.

not a single person I started with still makes music - they all fell victim to their own excuses or outside opinion, that is the reality of what you're facing, and the reward if you ignore it is success.

so this just happened, FL studio reached out and it's officially been signed. I'm beyond thankful right now. Thank you so much to FL studio for this opportunity & over $500 in free upgrades/samples, and to all of you for supporting my dreams and making things like this a reality.

@PetreRaleigh This has been happening since 2015, all your favorite mainstream artists “that just blew up out of nowhere” are propped up by bot farms.

Cymatics dropped a free plugin this morning called Deja Vu which lets you time stretch anything, making some cool layer and pad sounds - link in the replies.

Okay so I know a lot of you are boosting inside your EQ to alter a sound or sample, but please try subtractive EQing. Below I've cut in front of the areas I want boosted, achieving the same result instead of just adding unnecessary volume, and resonance.

if you're seeing this tweet congrats you've been thrown into the producer community algorithm and there's no escaping.

Find stacked frequencies and add subtle cuts under 0.5 dB at those specific frequency ranges. This is something I do to every Master regardless of genre

I will always rep FL Studio - they hooked me up with a free ultimate edition and a ton of samples last December just because a tweet went viral and a rep checked out my music. I don't see Ableton or Pro tools doing anything that for random artists.
