How to Make Money as a Music Producer (step-by-step)
มุมมอง 2.8K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
There are two types of producers: those who think from analogy (e.g., "People buy my beats"), and those who think from first principles (e.g., "People buy my beats because they want to make better music, which helps them escape their current situation and alleviate the discomfort of not living their dream"). If you grasp this deeper reasoning, you'll destroy the competition. I hope this helped ...

How To Produce The Music You Hear In Your Head
I got a midi chord pack and during this video, kinda ironic 😂 Keep up the good content my man, you are very wise for your age 🙌
Hey! I’ve really been enjoying your videos the last few months especially around mindset when it comes to production. Anyone watching this that wants to dig deeper into the concept you explained should read Stephen Pressfield’s “The War of Art”. Resistance is the part of any creative process. Learning to push through is what makes or breaks artists. In my case I’ve made my better music when I force myself to honor my scheduled time in my music studio.
as soon as you started the video by saying i dont believe in it i stopped watching, because i dont need this in my life (let me believe it exists)
what? explain your perspective
@@petussuss I want to believe writers block exists
@@W1ntumnwhy would you want to believe that your excuses are valid?
@@petussuss I had it and it's definitely real
Came to learn about writer's block but ended up getting a life lesson instead
You might be a top 5 music production youtuber right now bro, loving this kind of content
why bro got the minecraft music LMAO i thought i left my minecraft on
the sneaky callout on that Unison chord pack on the intro lmfaooo
I remember when I started in 2020 they marketed that so hard. Never gave in though
love when someone can put the feeling of "resistence" into words the way you do.
If you have writer's block, then find a spot, allign your thoughts. Mind the drop and pry the lock from fibers tryna blind your watch. Might be tossed but fight the loss till titans flock to ride across. Bite the chalk and guiding moss will right the wrongs that lined the box.
That multishop sample one is a gem.
Its all about beliefsss 💯💯 that’s we have to repgram our subconscious mind
Thats me
I listen to tracks of the same genre I produce on Spotify and I noticed some tracks sound very terrible, like not mastered at all/ beginner but the artist has a lot of following/listeners, but I be stuck coz I want to release the perfect music, I overthink. Quality vs Quantity. I think one has to be in the middle of the two, otherwise you gonna release a few songs.
This is so familiar! It's good to hear that I'm not alone with these walls! More stuff like this! these are stories are pearls ! Thank you Akayo!
for me i have ideas but i have the fear to f it up so i don’t even start it. i know weird. i think most people are like that, not lack of ideas or something else. it’s basically anxiety.
Im a producer - engineer - youtuber you are rare big boy trust me you rare I come back to your videos to bring my inspiration back you are gold your mind is insane 🫡♥️
Really mature and sensible talk. This rings a bell a lot, especially as a starting producer, it's always easier to focus on other things or distracting yourself, rather than actually putting in the work. Super great advice. Thanks for the wake up.
Gosh man this channel is a blessing, appreciate all the work and thoughtfulness you put into this channel bro👌
can you please do a vid on chords 🙏 🙏 🙏
Sometimes you feel less creative (things just don't work out...) and that's ok bro. Main thing is to stay emotionally calm in these periods and give yourself some grace. These are actually great opportunities to invest time in studying and learning new stuff. Once you find the spark again you'll be on a whole nother level ✌
You don't need to be motivated to do something personally i judge my music better on a bad day then when im excited because my expectations are low
I agree somewhat, but I'm not sure about lyrics. I'm an artist, producer, singer, and songwriter, so I'm coming from a slightly different pov than most people here (primarily producers) Lyrics don't have to be the most deepest profound thing ever, but to make something decent and cohesive, I usually need some sort of inspiration, like a main idea that the song is written about. Sometimes I don't have that. I can continue to make music, like beats, melodies, chords, etc., but decent lyrics don't always come by just pressing through the resistance. I'd love to get everyone else's thoughts on this. Do you disagree? Am I just not trying hard enough?
I think its different. when producing, you dont really have to think about something then make it, you just play around until you find something that sounds good. i dont write lyrics that often but usually i need to think of some kind of opening line to get the ball rolling.
I should definitely try your approach, thanks! Do you have your tracks on Spotify?
Honest feedback on the editing and whatnot: I love how you keep switching from you just sitting and talking to like, different scenes with your friends. I also like how you switch to emphasizing a few key words on the screen. It's the perfect balance of entertainment, real knowledge, and easy to follow. Awesome videos! ☺️
Well thanks for that I’ll give up 😂
Well I’ve got ADHD- makes it a lot harder in general to get any motivation at all…And then sometimes it’s the complete opposite and I’m pushing 3-4 tracks a day.
I love your videos!! I hope i will become a producer like you one day.
This channel is gold man. Thank you so much for everything, I feel a lot more motivated to make music thanks to you 🙏 Also, if it feels like you're stuck at writing songs, maybe try designing some sounds. For me it worked really good, I designed some random sound and immediately came up with a song idea. Maybe this helps others too. Thanks again!
Another awesome video from Akayo!
Hi bro
Yo :)
Instead of saying i have writers block, try think of it as a challenge to be more creative in that moment, thats what helps me
the biggest improvement in my music production journey happened whenever I stumbled upon someone named Akayo
Something I forgot to add: take breaks.
Love me some breaks which go from 2 days to 2 millennia 😂❤
Break? Hell nah, Amen break? Hell yeah :3c
Brother you are so right, every time I think about this I try something different and it works there is no block to our creativity and producing just try and try until it feels right
you don’t have writers block you’re just bad at music that’s a better title
Thanks bro
This is why I clicked on the video. (Which was totally worth it!)
Broooo, I literally came here to look for this vid and it was uploaded 13 seconds ago lmao ❤❤❤❤
This vid went straight to "In The Mix and Au5 server" if anyone's got any problem with my decisions come at me 😺
