    Great tips Rio, especially the exercise at the end; music isn’t supposed to be something to overthink about, it should just flow. Thanks Rio for motivating us bedroom producers

    Thanks a lot rio, when i first started music i thought i had to do everything the right way, but music taught me that there isn’t a right way to do everything and it unlocked a new perspective for me, not just music, but for life. it also taught me how to stick to something i enjoy and always find ways to improve. overthinking won’t change the outcome for the better.

  • @proddenjii
    @proddenjii Рік тому +3

    im 18 rn and i can relate to this so much feeling pessimistic and always overthinking criticism i just graduated high school last year and all my creative friends i used to hangout with are all gone and never spoke to me again. Since then im at the point where im depressed, stuck in a shitty job, taking classes i don't like at all, not posting as much, keep shelving my beats, and feeling lost like ik what i want but i don't how to get there at all thank you for posting this vid

  • @milesjordan
    @milesjordan Рік тому +5

    Definitely agree with the exercise at the end. As producers, it's important to have our OWN projects that makes us happy creatively. It might not fit an artist or a type beat, but those weird projects are always the most fun to create.

    I feel my old songs still being classics.. idk. I enjoy what I make, if people listen it’s just a bonus!

    Rio this Speech of yours was really helpful, now i feel lesser stressed out. Yeah it's the same for me on some days I really struggle and force myself to create a beat just for the sake for creation. And on other days when i feel relaxed, i just open ma DAW start with something simple and all my creative ideas come out naturally. Often the key is not force yourself to create something, don't have any expactations about the outcome of your musical idea. Try to transfer the musical idea from your head into the DAW and attempt to have a clear mind, be relaxed and your ideas flow out by itself. In todays century we often tend to compare ourself with other successful people and we push us to hard to achieve our goals. But often this ambitious fire backwards. On some days you really feel down, on other days you feel really great. To fight aggainst this doesn't get you anything. Just accept it caus life is like a rollercoaster. Iam looking forward for new Videos Rio, but don't overwork yourself for the sake of your community :)

    From what I'm hearing, it sounds like going from mid tier producer to top-of-the-line was a far greater challenge than getting from 0 to mid-tier.
    To me that's great news. If I could make 12 bucks an hour making music in my apartment whatever, that would be sick. CS is the main bag and music is the backup bag. But we gotta wait at least 2-3 years for CS
