Thanks for this video Adam. I am going into my final year of college and although I love studying music and love music in my spare time I’m getting burned out on assignments lately and have lost the spark to do music in my spare time to make an album - I have all the material there but just don’t have the energy to do it, I’ve been telling myself that once I graduate college I’ll have all of the time in the world to work on my own music again, glad to hear I’m not alone in seeing it as a chore at times even though there’s nothing else I’d rather do or study, watching artists share their enthusiasm made me worried why I didn’t have that same enthusiasm lately so your content is refreshing for the jaded (but still passionate!) producers.
@@LuckeGabriel this is true for just about any career from sanitation worker to corporate exec… gotta show up everyday and gotta do the work. Most jobs have some cool parts, but all jobs have sucky parts.
ayee thanks for replying. I think you misunderstood though but that's my fault for not giving enough context. My music is mostly robot noise. For my type of music there is not much money in streaming. The better goal is to get your songs supported and played out live by bigger artists. I find it easier to sit down and make a "dj tool" with no pressure and worry about how I will release it on spotify later. for example i like to use a lot of sounds from video games in my songs and almost everytime someone hears them they ask "can you make money off that what about copyright?" and i simply explain we are making this song to play live. All my songs are just dj tools to start off. hope that makes more sense lol
They can do whatever they want at a gig I just don’t want to limit ideas based on what they can or can’t do live. Imagine Queen not recording Bohemian Rhapsody the way it is cause there are too many vocals lol
The way I see it under another name, is that music itself has many ways of offering services. When I am a generalist, I can go between the digital demand and music demand. Satisfying the work of music was not exactly working on music for me. Music is only as good as it advances. Helping the technology and run a brand or ideas. That's where I'm headed now.

Tim Pierce talks about this in how he got to where he is. Essentially, professionals get the job done whether they're having fun or not.
@@LuckeGabrielinteresting insight, I’ll have to check them out, thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it. At the end of the day it’s all worth it, you got this 🤘

Great advice man! Love the channel!
Appreciate it!
Using backing tracks live is a creative decision made BEFORE the record is produced. Ultimately, it’s the bands choice

That’s awesome! I do lots of other digital stuff too. Video, graphics, some 3D stuff here and there. Glad I’m not the only one!
Sadly I’m giving it away as I’m no longer getting enjoyment from music anymore
How we gonna play it live?
Who cares, play something else or run it on Mac. The only exception is vocal pitch maybe :)
Got this problem with my newest single cause I pitched up the song lol
Sup
Sup!!!
