What I would tell an artist starting from zero today:
• Release consistently, even when it feels like nobody is listening 📝
• Treat content as part of the art, not an afterthought 🎧
• Build real relationships with labels, promoters and other artists 🙏
• Give it more than a few months/years
The artists winning right now are the ones still standing 3+ years in ❤️
@Ableton The Worst Advice: Make any recording, production, arrangement, sound design, mix or mastering decision that clearly will not produce your desired result based on the laws of physics, fundamentals of sound, summing, speaker design, psychoacoustics, etc. You’ll never win!
@killthenoise True! If kick, snare and bass have impact, good sound choice and mixed well, everything else can float on top and be mixed with those first 3 as priority.
@mrbillstunes Name the track accordingly, clean up the clips and match clip names to the track, color coordinate everything, create a folder called “SAVE” within the project, then drag the full track into that save folder. Then you can always go back and pull it back in.
@reyvioletmusic Being spontaneous is fun, structure is boring, but it’s verified in virtually all places that maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is the hack. We all rely on caffeine and other stimulants during the day to make ourselves feel like we’re not deprived. Try it out! 💤
A piece of advice I gave to some young producers earlier this week that resonated.
Instead of making a full 2-3 minute edit/remix of a trending or popular track - make a 15-30 second version paired with a studio/production video of you and throw it up on Reels/TikTok.
