    Great story!!! I can definitely relate. I'm transitioning from bedroom producer to professional music producer. It is not easy, but worth it.

    Wow…thanks for sharing your story. I can relate with everything you said. I definitely have a ways to go Like you said, “don’t” focus on what you don’t have but “how” far you have come. Thank you for being an inspiration for beginners like myself

      Absolutely and this is exactly why I thought it would be good to make this video. Everyone starts somewhere and everyone progresses so long as you invest that time and energy!

    Love this video, it’s so real about how a music maker’s journey will progress over time and differ individually. Hopefully you take the opportunity to perform again one day bc you were hyping that crowd up with those vocals🔥

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I plan on it, I knew how to command a crowd and it was very fun. One of the main things I've been missing

    That last bit made me
    Feel a way. I’m 26 now and I been making music for almost 10 years now. not consistently in the beginning but still I made my first beat in 2012 and then continued during 2014 and showed my family. I’m obviously not where I wanna be in life because I’ve been afraid of pursuing music now that I am. Things are taking forever to come to fruition. I got the easy part done now it’s time for the real challenge and is getting my music out there.

    This was awesome. Took me back to my start. Saved up and bought a KORG M1 from the pawn shop. No computer, ran through my home stereo. 💯😊

    Man, thanks for the video!🙏
    It's awesome to see your journey; where you came from and how far you've come
    I'm not good at giving myself credit, or recognising my progress, but...YEET!!!
    I remember first making beats in Music Maker Jam, on-and-off till early 2020; when I found LMMS and learned about producing.
    I grinded on that software and started writing lyrics again; making millions of mistakes and outtakes.
    By early 2021, I had ten demo songs (all recorded on a Blue Snowball). My voice was beyond stiff, but I improved my production/writing a lot
    After over two years of making mistakes, and learning from them (with the help of channels like yours) I released my first single - Faceless - in October 2022
    Almost two years after that, I released 12 projects - Singles and EPs - and got a beat tape, EP, and possible LP on the way.
    My voice is still not what I want it to be, but I have improved a lot the past four years (Damn, doesn't feel that long lol)
    Anyway, my backstory's done.
    Thanks again for showing your past 20 years (Mad respect btw) and here's to another 20🥂
    Take care, man ^-^
    Stay Lxgendary
    💙💙💙

      @IAMLXGEND  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I know so many people that started on a Snowball or Yeti lol. Truly the beginner's favorite Mic brand. And yea getting in there and making mistakes is what it's all about. Putting in those hours and practice may feel like its going nowhere in the moments but over time you can really see how far you've gone in terms of skill level and setup wise. Continue to give yourself that credit!
      Here's to 4 more years for you! (and many more)

    For me it started with MTV Music Generator 3 for the Playstation 2. I had friends who used Acid Pro to record vocals and one of them send me FL Studio 5 in 2005 (Fruity Loops 5). Started on a AMD computer moved up to the legendary DELL computer from 2009 till 2016, when I saved up money to build my own one. The journey has been long, and I'm NOWHERE near where I wanna be, but when I put the pictures from 2007 with 2024 along side, it's night and day!

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Definitely a night and day difference, I can relate. And I remember the days when FL was still called "Fruity Loops"! They don't know nothing about that lol.

    @SilentDProductions 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    When I tell you the flashbacks of Windows 98, 2000, Millennium Edition and XP came to me when you took put the Dell computer, oh it just took me back! Aside from that, this was a very inspirational video you shared and you are right.
    Blood, sweat and tears have got to be put in. Ain't no shortcut around wanting to achieve the goal and dream. That being said, I can definitely when it comes to working and side-hustling. I'm not in the best position but I'm definitely making sure to balance everything and crash coursing into being a better musician. It gets frustrating at times, especially when I used to play piano then... just stopped. No idea why I did but, I'm bringing that talent back. Also , I just bought a new guitar to practice with my old Casio keyboard. Those are the two major things I want to master before I buy any equipment.
    IAMLXGEND, thank you for sharing this and inspiring me and everyone here to keep putting our best foot forward.

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This is exactly why I wanted to post this. I can’t lie, Even I got I inspired during the filming of this because it’s been so long since I’ve taken a look back at where I’ve come from and how far I’ve gone. All the failures and progress. It’s wild when you really sit and think about it all.
      And yes that Dell was a workhorse for those first 10-ish years for sure lol. We put that poor thing through hell 🤣

    I got rid of my bed too! 😂
    Man, I can totally relate, I'm torn between working at a job that isn't music related and chasing my passion full-time. The job pays well, is a 9-5, but it's exhausting and by the end of the day, I'm physically and mentally exhausted to do anything creative.
    There's also the fear that the longer I stay away from writing and producing, the more my skill level drops or at best remains at the same level.
    I saw your video about getting a job again. How do you balance it? I'd appreciate any tips, thanks!

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wild! Lol yea it's crazy the things we'll do (sometimes necessary) to push the dream forward. But well worth it.
      As far as losing skill or remaining the same, I'd say it's like riding a bike. The more you spend time away from it, the more rusty you'll get but I don't think your skill will drop. Definitely can't improve though without putting that time in. But once you're able to pick it back up it comes right back to you.
      In terms of balancing my 9-5 with music, I'm honestly still trying to figure out that balance. Giving up one of my rest days of the weekend is definitely something I know I'll have to do more of because I also am usually mentally, sometimes physically, too drained after work to do anything music related. But I do know that at some point I'll have to give at least 2 hours to that a few days a week if I want to make any progress. My plan for now is to take 2-3 days a week to go to the studio and work on music after work. I get home around 5:30, so music work from 6-8 or 9. That way there are still some days I can rest after work, some days I get music stuff done and the weekends are purely for relaxation and recharging.

    lol I can totally relate cause I've been making music since I was 5-6 years old, started singing around that age, & then I stopped singing once I got to elementary school, & I didnt back into music until I got to middle school in 2011, started pen tapping for 3-5 years, & then once I got to high school in 2013, my cousin taught me how to make my first beat in FL Studio, & been making music ever since, & Im 26, so it's officially been 21 years since I've been makin music, & I use FL Studio Mobile that I purchased on January 2nd, 2016, so I've been using that for 8 years, and as of right now, Im in college for music (currently in my 8th year 🤦🏾‍♂️) & I love your music journey, but Im not where I want to be as far as MY music journey goes, but pretty soon, I will be, & for those who are still in the game, just remember, you can do it, & it's going to be challenging, mentally frustrating, & it's all about discipline, time, & effort, stay creating everyone! 💯
