Around 2 months now, Ableton is my DAW of choice but I still have a lot to learn and your videos are part of my learning process, so thank you very much for sharing your journey :) @@musicbyplv
Completely burned out pro musician here: worked 10+ years as a full-time musician offering various services, from teaching to songwriting, performing for venues to selling my own music. Got a decent amount of success doing it, but never enough to feel like I reached a comfort zone. Freelancing is all I've ever known in my adult life and I've been very lucky, yet now I kind of long the stability of employment.... I never thought I'd find myself here saying that. But here's the thought I have: I hope finding a stable job as a software engineer might help me treat music as a hobby for a while, and eventually help me reconnect with it and start being playful again.
my gosh so deeply moved by your vid .. girl keep this passion please ... we need more women into this amazing passion like music creation ... if you want we can also make a collaboration lol just to keep this passion alive
Wow! What a great find ! Thanks for sharing! One of the things I've found when it comes to emails/business tasks is I'll batch that to do first thing in the morning for an hour (Focused only on those tasks) then close email for the rest of the day until the next morning! So for the remainder of my creative output I don't have any external stressors pinging into my workflow;
Proud of such strong and consistent people like you! I’m in the same position of starting a youtube channel and continueing my music production, but I can’t decide because of the not so kind situation that I’m in right now(lost my business, no money, just broke up after nearly 5 years, can’t stay in the country which lived for the past 13 years due to visa rejection! and … I’m 39!) but I don’t give a f*** 😁 your video definitly put the seed in my head, let’s see what gonna happen next! And thanks a lot for your helpful videos 🙏🏼
Hi PLV, I'm a huge fan of your channel, and your advice is amazing. I'm already trying to pursue a music career and your a huge inspiration! As a 16 year old who doesn't even have a 9 to 5 job yet, your an inspiration to me. Keep it up! Just subscribed. I really want to start a music career while I'm young before I even have to get a 9 to 5 job, and your music is... again... very inspiring.
@@musicbyplv Exactly! Thank you so much for giving all of your tips. Your advice helps me with my channel, as I am working extremely hard to get it up and going!
I think that the issue here is the monotony, I mean, everyday, everytime you need to be in the same room making the same activies and although is a passion monotory makes it "boring/exhausting". Have you thought of recording content from diffdrent places? Maybe videos like this that are more kinda "vlogs" can be recorded in an alternative environment. However, is just what I think, I'm sure that is matter of time till you figure out your best method, you got this. 💪🏼
Yes thats true why I do video sometimes outside, I know a studio all set up is great and all but I dont bing inside to much, so I will make music or video outside with Mu laptop and that will be a big part of My channel. I dont share the same issue as PLV in terms of not being able to make My own music just for Me because thats what I have done for years. I have so music I stop My self from creating more, Im talking 3000 projects unreleased music. I could spend a cupple years never making any brand new music and just release what I have already got.I could release two tunes a week for about 3 years if I want.
That's a great point!!!! Thank you for suggesting that, I think it'd be super refreshing indeed, I guess I was just scared my audience wouldn't follow if it's not in a "studio" or anything music related but yeah, you're right! :) I'll definitely think about that for the next video!!! (Although I'll have to record in front of other people and.. that won't be easy haha!)
Thank you very much for this video. I've experienced everything you've said (and continue to do so, but much less often!) I felt burnout for about an entire month. I couldn't even open my laptop, I was so burnt out. It was awful. That was a big changing point for me. I started to take weekends for myself (like you mentioned) and started time blocking my time to focus on music a few hours per week (whenever I felt motivated). Focusing on music much more during the weekends and not pressuring myself to work so much has been such a big help. It's really helpful to see that other creators also have experienced the same thing, so thank you so much for sharing!
Hey PLV, have you considered going on 'work away' type trips to travel somewhere, enjoy a holiday and set aside a day or two to batch-create some content while out there? I've noticed all your content is in your studio, which is great but I think a good way to recharge would be to take a trip away for a couple weeks then come back refreshed and ready to make some heat. I'm still part-time producing but when I go full time this is my plan to keep things exciting, as I love travelling and some countries you can stay in for weeks for less than rent would be in my home city (Manchester, UK).
Ofcourse you're going to ' love' and keep doing the coaching because that is what brings in the money. Monetising advice you're not actually following yourself. No hate. I loved you're videos up till now and you definitely made some valid points. But I just find this particular point a bit too see through.
First of all, such great advice and things to think about! And also that is cool that you’re doing a secret/side artist for yourself, since I’ve also recently started doing that too!
Inspiring video. Quitting a day job is a very difficult decision and props to you for making it a reality for yourself. Thanks for sharing your advice. What's your studio desk btw?
Oh yeah - I actually recorded the day I quit... I was crying, shaking, hyper ventilating, it was terrifiyng 😂 But 5 minutes after I felt SO GOOD!!!! My studio desk is a standing desk from IKEA (the legs only), the rest was made custom by someone in my family!
@@musicbyplv 5 minutes only to recover? That's awesome. 😂 Thanks for the studio desk information. It looks good. I am looking for a similar one and might just get one custom built locally. Cheers!
i did the other way i took a break from music for 1 and half year to get a job when i got the job and i became comfortable with it then i started producing music again
@@musicbyplv I was afraid that I might lose my skills and all of the hours I invested in learning music after taking a long break. But to my surprise, I didn't. In fact, I got better. It took me around 2-3 weeks to get back in the groove. And now I'm treating music just like a hobby, and I'm really enjoying it. Before, I was working with the mindset that I had to be successful in 2-3 years, but now it's like, 'Forget it, it doesn't even matter how long it will take to make a living with music. I just have to produce
Well at least while You was working it was a home job and something related to music and or creative. I got made redundant from My factory job by a robot in October, now Im claimung welfare and trying to get the ball rolling again in music and social media, will I succeed before bwing forced back into dead end job by the government. Thats is the question.
Great video as always! And also really inspiring 🙂 Would you mind telling me more about the accountability group? I was already looking for something like this but couldn't really find one that seemed to be a good fit.
Thanks a lot, I was hoping for the video to achieve that 🥰 For the accountability group, it's one that was founded when I took an online course about sponsorships so they all have different niches. But I'm planning on starting a music producer accountabiity group this year one way or another ;)
@@musicbyplv haha btw just saw a post from him on instagram today because I was also already thinking about joining his course. Maybe if I have a bit more time I'll do it. Do you think it was worth it?
Being doing music stuff full time more than ten years and I actually found myself with almost no creativity towards myself. And listening to less music during my free time. I force myself to listen to new music as part of my own job. You are so damn right on this one. With my ADHD, the non-musical part is really a nightmare. No videos for now hence I’m color blind though. I’ve been living in Japan for 23 years, and there are already too many “Look At Me I’ Living In Japan!” videos out there. Btw, I don’t want to sound rude, but I’m sure being a female stops many males from watching your videos. Subscribed.

CrossFit?! Wow 😮 And now I appreciate better why some artists pick another alias 🤔
...sorry to say it,...but you can't be good musician if you are a youtube blogger (or how you are calling that what you are making)... ..to be really good at music consumes everything,.....and like you've said it,...to be good at youtube consumes more or less same amount...it happened to a lot of people ....keep on with good work

You are a legend. Dont be hard on your self, your great.
so its possible . .that gives me a lot of hope.

Quit your job to live from your passion then your passion becomes a job. I relate 150% haha
Haha riiight, what a trap 😂 (jk jk!)
I am at the start of my personal journey as a music producer. I really appreciate your advice and authenticity.
You're welcome, you got this!! How long ago did you start? :)

Hey PLV, thanks for giving me relief through your videos. Your videos make me feel that I am not the only one who is going through these situations.
You're welcome, I'm glad you appreciate these, definitely not alone ;) ❤️

Thank you so much for the kind words but yeah don't worry I'm almost out of the burnout currently!! 🚀❤️ Enjoy the video!
I can't tell you how much I relate to this video
You've ran into the same issues? What did you to get over it or what solutions have you found?
Thank you! I gave up once. Now I am back on track..

Burnout is normal if you had a fulltime job and a side hustle for 2 years and then run your music business. Of course you will burnout.
Nah I could have avoided it easy, I'm just impatient and went for a sprint 😅
