    I'm in the mentorship program and it was career-changing for me. This particular producer was the hungriest of the bunch and honesly it's been nothing but inspiring to see him grow. Big up Christian

    yeah its still doable but you still gotta have a lot of skill for it. you can't just toss something into fl studio and call it a day you gotta make friends first which takes time and over time people you know will buy from you there is no speeding that up at all. its gonna take most people about a year which makes sense to say 12 months.

    i wish i had guidance i really did a lot of work with my 10 years of practice i have a lot of time....
    i just wish i could get just final touch to polish all of it
    because i never had help... nobody really is interested in music and im just sad about it.
    and probably no one can help me with genre that i choosed
    i had mostly focused on dubstep
    i wish i could bring orchiestral symphonic vibes and house vibes to some tracks
    cuz that really gives the taste like even techno with acid basses and french style of cutting things to music
    its all really inspiring to me

    I appreciate your comments about building relationships, but why not just be upfront from the beginning? Just write a demo for them and say "Hi there im interested in working with you on your project, I wrote this demo for you!" and boom you're in. And I feel like clients respect being upfront about it more, I don't see why you need to build up a relationship just to ask for money later, that doesn't seem as genuine.
    Building relationships is important yes, but I would value more the friendships you make over time by working with someone rather than the ones you built just for a means to an end.
    In more "collaborative" mediums maybe this approach is more appropriate, but doing videogame music I've gotten every client by being upfront in the beginning.

    • @darklabelmusic
      @darklabelmusic  หลายเดือนก่อน

      As another commenter here said... Either approach is fine. At the end of the day, network with others how you yourself would want to be networked with. The producers are being clear upfront that they're working producers so there isn't a 'bait and switch' thing going on. Much of the upfront relationship building is to see if the artist even wants a producer and to make sure the producer wants to work with the artist (which they won't know by just looking at their social media / hearing their releases).
      Freelancing is built on doing a lot of repeat work versus constantly hustling for one-off projects... So if they get locked into a bunch of work with clients they dread working with then they will hate their entire existence and the business will ultimately suffer (I see this happen ALL of the time). It feels like they're working on Fiverr or something.
      When they spend a bit more time upfront building trust/bond with great people to work with... It leads to better referrals / getting into circles of other great people to work with.
      I'll also add that this is typically something they're doing to build up their initial client-base of 10-20 great artists. After that (if they did what I advised) they'll have a steady stream of inbound opportunities. Inbound opportunities still need to be vetted of course, but it's less work than outbound.
      Also, an important note:
      They may decide to NOT charge a production fee/studio time and move in that direction. They may instead decide after establishing that relationship that it makes more sense to just build catalog with that individual or do something else together. But if they had pitched up front then that individual could have just written them off immediately. There are many different types of 'capital' in our business and they may not immediately know upfront which way to take things.
      PS - Just saw the end of your comment and doing video game music. Yep, that's a different approach so your experience makes sense.

    how did you reached out to so many people? Instagram just puts you in spam after sending many DM's right?

    • @darklabelmusic
      @darklabelmusic  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Sometimes it will temporary disallow messaging but we haven't recognized any exact paterns... Seems to happen randomly at different times and for different reasons amongst the producers on our roster. For example, sometimes a producer will send 3 messages and it will cause a problem and other times they can get out 100 with no problems. I'll have to ask Christian what his specific experience was with that. I would say on average our producers reach out to 30-ish artist a week and most don't have any problems with doing that.

      They're record producers so yes... They handle the entire creation process of the record (although they may loop in other professionals to handle certain aspects of it). Typically they are getting hired for their taste, their direction, and to ensure completion. Kind of like a creative partner/advisor (and many times a "therapist" lol) to the artist throughout the project or over many projects together. Thanks for watching!

      It's less about knowing exactly what to say and more about knowing what your next steps are when you meet an artist. That will determine what to say.
