Some words get popularized and lose meaning. Folks call someone 'toxic' as a way of tryna pathologize a reason for not liking em. But real toxicity is when you harmful to yourself and others

@BeatStars "free for non-profit"

I take on a lot of roles as a producer. I sound design, engineer, executive produce projects, market, etc. But ngl, if I just focused on making beats, I could prolly make about 60 solid ones every month. And thats being conservative

[The Ultimate Light Skinned Life Form @onlyemani]

Despite all that, I'm still here, and I'm still chasing after my best track - its always one day ahead of you. I'm grateful to be able to make music and to enjoy the process, even when it gets a lil crazy

Since 2015, I've had 4 computers break down on me, and 5 hard drives stolen out of my car at the same time.

Back in 2019, I almost quit the online producer game cus I lost the session files to everything that I did before then. That was literally over 300 beats. I couldn't sell stems to anything I previously made without remaking it first

@BeatStars Ya know, I was totally against compression on individual sounds until recently. If you use it lightly, it can do some transient shaping. But otherwise, I'd stay away and leave compression for gluing the drum bus

If you incapacitate yourself while trying to help others, then someone gets forced to help you or you'll be in the same position as the people you're trying to help, or worse

Self sacrifice is only virtuous if it's a well thought out choice. As a knee jerk reaction, self sacrifice can actually be quite selfish

@AuthorNateJones Shiiiiit, I am the occasional troll lol

[The Ultimate Light Skinned Life Form @onlyemani]

Imma start poppin up on here more. This seems like the easiest platform to interact with people through outside discord or something

[The Ultimate Light Skinned Life Form @onlyemani]

There are things that are more important than min/maxing your income. Cus at a certain point, you can't make enough to buy contentment. Theres a sweet spot between how much you make and how much you wanna be committed to

[The Ultimate Light Skinned Life Form @onlyemani]

Small business is perfectly valid. Every business doesn't have to be a fortune 500 company

[The Ultimate Light Skinned Life Form @onlyemani]

I'm a small business. I could *hypothetically* make more money running a label, or doing a management gig, or opening a distribution company than I do as a musician but I would be entirely out of my wheelhouse. I'd take on more risk and enjoy the work less

@AuthorNateJones I don't see myself goin back to Fb anytime soon so this looks like the place. Insta and TikTok don't really encourage dialogue and discussion
