      @RifleEyez 9 місяців тому +2

      I keep telling myself I should try this. I wonder if trying to replicate songs from memory you like but haven't heard in a while, but without listening to them again may also help. Like basically biting the whole thing how you think it sounded, but because you're not actually actively listening to it as you try remake it, it'll end up a different beat entirely.
      I mean there's that quote about the secret to creativity is hiding your sources after all.

    When I first started making music (Only been at it for under a year)
    I didn't really think about all the elements. But as you begin to make your own stuff, you really start listening to all the aspects of a song instead of just the song as a whole.
    Like damn this snare, hi-hat, piano, etc. Sounds dope, this is really well connected!

    One thing Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) said on one of his live streams was that everybody thinks the only way to make money in music is to get signed, be a rocks star, etc. He said his parents told him to get a job because he wasn't making any money. He decided to get a job making flash video music for companies. Eventually that helped out and for fun he released the song faxing berlin, he was already djing at local clubs, but something about that song really pulled off, and then ghosts n stuff. I remember him starting out back in 2008. It took him almost 10 years until he got famous. His mouse head was basically a joke at pac man, and he thought it would be funny if he wore it live, and people thought it was great. I remember the contests, where whomever had the coolest mouse head got it personally signed or worn by him, or something like that. He was also into graphic design, and made a 3d model of his mouse head after finding out a dead mouse was actually in his computer. But the point of this story, is that this guy came from a fucking basement situation, and didn't limit himself. He also says, everybody tries to put out their stuff online, which is fine, but he said that your chances of success are much higher giving a physical copy of your work to the record company or producer, than just an email. Same thing with Billie Eilish's brother. Her ocean eyes video was just for her dance class, she actually wanted to be a dancer, but fucked her hip up, and a promoter from apple saw the video on youtube, and boom, it took 5 years later until her debut came out with her when we fall asleep album. You would be surprised. But its going to be a hobby when you first start out. You need multiple sources of income, and just have fun. Learn more about the music business, immerse your self in it as much as possible, become an expert. To be a master at anything, you have to adopt that identity as a world class musician or producer and do those actions that world class producers do. That goes with anything in life.

    one amazing tip i can give is, i can't give out my secret but learn the academic side to it instead of what just sounds good to you, then combine the academic side and the personal opinion of what sounds good together, most learn the academic side from a good music college, but there is another way to learn academically outside of school. youtube is good but not the gold mine where you will find this academic information. Also another cheat code i can give it learn to play the piano, then use your piano playing skills to help create midi

    No. 3 is spot on. An interesting thought came to me about a week ago. "If the opportunity in front of you right now is your only chance to succeed in life but you dont know it will be your only opportunity. How would you treat it?". Many times we think life will present us with many opportunities to succeed so we treat people and things nonchalantly.
