As a child of the 80's I can say: Your hands are golden sir! I agree with everything you say, the back office musicians/beat makers jobs are no longer an option. AI will kill anything that doesn't involve human connection
I appreciate it brother! And yeah...Our love for the music is really starting to be tested. But I'm honestly pretty hopeful - I'm actually looking forward to the challenge. Thanks again bro. 🙏🏽✊🏽
Even Music Producers need fellow Producers to create something beautiful. I remember the conversation we had melo. As long as you're happy. That's all that matters But let's all try our very best to be heard cause we all have a great story to tell. Another Excellent Video Melo!
That's right bro. Very well said. As we progress not only as producers, but also in life, time becomes more and more scarce. And we often no longer have time for our passion/hobby. But when we can connect that passion/hobby to also being a career, we find a much more fulfilling life. I appreciate you always bro! 🙏🏽✊🏽
I'll have a date for the next one by Monday. I'm actually reaching out to some people who showed interest to get some recommendations for the best date/time. So if you have a suggestion, let me know. Thanks and I'm looking forward to seeing you there. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You addressed a very important topic... Yes it's true, with AI the future of music production may not look very clear, but no matter the situation let's try to not let the negativity destroy our deep love for music. I agree, human connection will be more and more a fundamental part of a producer's journey. Much respect bro! 🫡🎶🎵🔥
Perfect video again Bro! Ego of "producers" is the problem that AI addresses. A computer will never be able to have a human interaction that can gleem from an artist vibes that are inherent in their personality, history, and current state. AI is a system of libraries that can only approximate the stylings of music already posted but cannot and will not ever predict the next phase of music evolution. Be studious, be tenacious, and be sure this is what you want to do, then relax and be happy you get to do it. The rest will work itself out. I always enjoy your vids and music💯✊🏿
Perfectly stated bro! It's definitely going to put us to the test, but I'm up for the challenge and I see you are too. I appreciate the love my brother. 🙏🏽✊🏽
Dang, brother. Why haven't you made a CD? Your creations are beautiful. I love the beats, but your entire songs are dope! What DAW and Plugins are you using? Waiting for your CD...
Thanks brother. I really appreciate that. That's actually something I'm working on as we speak. I'm using Cubase Pro 13. In this video, I used some sounds from Kontakt (Mint Guitar, Glaze, Vintage Keys, etc.), Real Guitar, MPC Software for drums, UVI Piano, XPand2, Analog Lab/V Collection, Octane, TrapSoul, Surrealistic MG-1 Plus, etc. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Let me know if you need to know the VST for a specific sound. Thanks again bro. 🙏🏽✊🏽
You just got a SUB...Keep up the good work man :), That beat was FIRE , Don't let a machine replace us beatmakers. Even tho it's easier to let a machine AI decide for us , I do believe in the creative mind
I really love your mindset !!! We should not do it for the fame but for the passion. The first beat is fire !! Which sine lead did you use in FM8 ? Keep it up !!!
My most musically creative time in life as a producer was when I was signed to two different music management companies from the mid-90's through early 00's. Interacting with artists and other producers in the studio on a near daily basis was highly inspiring and motivating. I also learned so much during that period of time. I always advise younger artists and producers to build relationships with collaborators in person, but the advice usually falls on deaf ears. Today, I just produce music for myself as a independent R&B artist who is well beyond the age of marketability for record labels. After my music heyday, I earned a doctorate degree in computer science and professionally focus on AI/ML research and development within a non-music related field. That said, I do believe AI/ML will have an increasingly impact in the music industry, for better and worst.
I appreciate you coming through and giving your feedback brother. It's really good to have you confirm my thoughts on the topic because coincidentally, you're an expert on the music side as well as the AI side. Very interesting. 🙏🏾🫡
I noticed the music changed when you started talking about thinking outside the box and what positive things one can do to be successful as producer. Then you moved into the bridge you stopped talking so we could have some time to reflect on the last few things you just said for a few minutes...Then the music said you can do it... (You're Gifted)
My Brother!!! I agree 💯. Building Relations is very important, and needed, especially in this age of "likes and follows". listen up boys and girls!! Brother melo dropping some truth bombs up in here. 🔥 beats as usual bro! 🤙🏾🤙🏾
I think, like the u.k. the courts are going to rule it illegal to train a.i. without the copyright owner permission which will basically destroy the uprising a.i. music companies or At least greatly reduce their quality. I dont think any artist worthwhile is going agree to train their competition. The truth is, after listening to so many of these a.i. 70s beat i think if not halted a.i. will replace all of us producer. even the talented ones like ourselves...Great beats!...Sub!
Thanks brother. I hope the laws can catch up because it's already learned a lot and is moving very fast. Well said bro. And welcome to the channel! 🙏🏾✊🏾
Peace my brother You are always bringing the real to the fore front with no BS .Most famous artist are just serving the devil not God . This world and the music industry is controlled by the devil ( Job 9:24 ) if you aint doin it for the Lord you doin it for the devil . ( Mark 8:36 ) AI can never replace Gods peoples creative energy , we will be making music when AI and this world is destroyed . Never stop making music my brother I can only pray you will be right there in the Lords Kingdom doin exactly that , making fire music . You are most definitely that salt of the earth my brother . You always inspire me , let me know what you been meditating on lately . ( 1 John 2: 15 - 17 ) ( Romans 12:2 ) ( Ephesians 6:12 -17 ) ( 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ) ( Numbers 32:6
Peace brother. Wow man...I really appreciate that. I can't disagree with a thing you said 💯. It might not be related, but Psalms 35 has been big for me lately. Thanks again bro. 🙏🏾✊🏾

How do yall get yall music to sound so clean
Thanks fam. 🙏🏾 If you're talking about the mix, a big part of it is gain staging.
@@melotheproducer I see it seems like no matter how much gain staging and sound selection I do it comes out weird lol
@@melotheproducer Yes and great arrangement/composition and very good sound selection.
@@virgillebon Thank you. Arrangement and sound selection are also very important.
Dang, brother. Why haven't you made a CD? Your creations are beautiful. I love the beats, but your entire songs are dope! What DAW and Plugins are you using?
Waiting for your CD...

I really love your mindset !!! We should not do it for the fame but for the passion. The first beat is fire !! Which sine lead did you use in FM8 ? Keep it up !!!
I appreciate it bro! Well said. That sine lead is actually the base sound from FM8. Glad you enjoyed it bro! 🙏🏽✊🏽
It would be nice it you did a video showing how you mix your sounds and drums
Not a bad idea. I'll make that happen. I appreciate it. 🙏🏾✊🏾
