1 skill every music producer needs (to get placements)

[@LukeJ4ckson]

The more skilled you get with music (or the more you think you know) the more you try to prove your skills to others unnecessarily. The best stuff keeps it simple like you said. Watching your process from start to finish shows how much more efficient keeping it simple is time wise as well. Kinda similar to how session musicians do one take the right way and keep it simple most of the time. Great advice bro keep it up!

[@NileWaves]

Right

[@robingrant1965]

I am a lady in my 60’s! I am a painter, I just recently started doing music production! I noticed, as a creative in general, I stay up late! I guess it’s just part of life! It’s a very bad for your health! Even though I am new at this music thing, I find that I am good at it! I am self taught, but I do have a mentor! My mentor is surprised at my accomplishments! I guess because of my age! I love it so much! I watch you now a lot! You inspire me!🫶🏾🫶🏾 I see the joy in your face as you are creating! I can relate! That’s why we probably stay up so late!😃🫶🏾

[@NileWaves]

Wow I'm glad I could inspire you! Keep creating!

[@farfromnorth]

This is true I’ve been recording and producing music for a decade now it’s only been the past year or so I’ve been confident in what I’m doing. In my experience the best thing to do is to work really hard mastering your skills for 2-3 year and then put it all to practice as much as you can. Work with musicians and get feedback from others. The BIG game changer too is to use reference tracks listen to the volume, width, tone everything and if the song is similar to the one you’re working on then copy it. Try to get your mix to sound as close as possible and then you will start to learn how to mix and master properly. From a creative point of view just try stuff, reverse guitar parts, automate a massive reverb on a vocal for one powerful word. Work hard and experiment, don’t think too much about it and if it sounds good it sounds good. Sending love from Glasgow ❤

[@NileWaves]

yes, i think that part about copying others to get better is key

[@Sazonov_beats]

simplicity is not equal to basic, thats a gem

Bro, it's all simple, making a beat is like choosing color palettes for a website, it's supposed to be simple but it has to be the right colors that generate triggers... I'm in the process of understanding this and using it in the best way, thank you.

Hi! The problem with the lighting is simple to fix, so you don't have any more issues in the future. The camera has an auto-exposure feature that you need to turn off. The only thing is that you have to set it yourself at the beginning but after you've done that, it won't change during the recording no matter what you do. You can put it in front of the light and it still won't change.

[@NileWaves]

I Guess Simplicity only works for Trap Rap ect? Coz that would never fly in Reggae or Gospel Music ect.. Alotta Real MusicianShip Goes into Other Genres

[@user-jj6ke1ch1z]

With all due respect, I have to disagree. I've been playing bass in reggae bands for the past 3 decades, and it's complexity lies in it's simplicity. Case in point: Take Damian Marley's 'Welcome To Jamrock' riddim. That was one of the hardest reggae riddims to drop in the 2000's, and the whole bassline is just 4 notes. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you're making reggae music that's complex, you're doing it wrong.
