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.

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?

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.

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 🤡

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.
