Wouldn't it be better to copyright protect your stuff before sending it?

[@NileWaves]

@@HOLLASOUNDS In US law, once you create something, it is copyrighted automatically without you having to do anything. Some people however want governmental records of their copyright so they will add their compositions to the library of congress.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@NileWaves Same in the UK you own copyright for anything you creat however you still have to prove it and patetully pay significant legal fees fighitng someone if they for example post your music to Distrokid without you?

[@archive160]

@@HOLLASOUNDS DistroKid wouldn't allow it; prior to publishing said project, Distrokid goes through each track and searches for instants of plagiarism. If what you're trying to publishing sounds similar to something already out there, you get copyrighted and prevented from publishing on certain platforms.

🎬🎤💥2023 Our music will definitely Go mainstream

[@KDRusha]

One tip that helped me a lot was remaking my favorite songs. It’s the closest thing to hands on learning you’ll get without a legit class or studio session with the producers

[@NileWaves]

I always tell people this

[@KDRusha]

@@NileWaves congrats on your success my brother, I signed with Danuel House of the 76ers. Hoping it turns into a percentage of your success!

[@aaronmichaelmusic_]

This is true. You get a good feel for the arrangement and mixdown for tracks you admire

[@gabemorales3118]

This is a huge thing for creativity. Learning the techniques used to make songs you like is what producing is all about.

[@RifleEyez]

I keep telling myself I should try this. I wonder if trying to replicate songs from memory you like but haven't heard in a while, but without listening to them again may also help. Like basically biting the whole thing how you think it sounded, but because you're not actually actively listening to it as you try remake it, it'll end up a different beat entirely. I mean there's that quote about the secret to creativity is hiding your sources after all.

[@elijahjflowers]

1 ) Work Everyday / consistency 0:00 2 ) Focus on your own path 3:28 3 ) Take Every Opportunity seriously 6:30

[@comradebrucewayne2607]

This was really well written, the 10,000 iterations part was a bar

[@NileWaves]

Factssss

[@dkproducer]

@@NileWaves I will agree and disagree. In the exploration stage it is good to try different ideas within a beat when you are learning. This is very valuable and you can't make 10 beats a day if you don't learn about what does and doesn't work.

[@kamamante]

I feel like I just started to put all these habits in motion and i’m really starting to see the progress frfr. Once you realize the only competition is yourself that’s when it feels like the world is yours

[@NileWaves]

Facts

[@largebottomproductions]

You are wise beyond your years young brother. Keep following the beat of your drummer. You brought a smile to my face as an older gent in the game.

[@joshbottz]

Super valuable habits. I've been hitting the daily 6am deep work session and I'm making huge gains as a musician. Working every day without seeing results is the realest thing ever

[@NileWaves]

Deep work sessions are a major key

[@oxtailjazz9357]

The tutorials are already more than generous of you but this video is straight from the heart. We appreciate you Nile

[@NileWaves]

No problem!

[@bassinblue]

These are excellent points bro! I wanna also say (to the youngers out there) if you LOVE music, then don't restrict yourself to albums. Venture out into the music world, check out scoring for films, or TV Ad's, music for games. Do everything and try out till you find your niche.

[@branchyapple]

2) Focus on your own path 3:28 hit it for me. Thanks for this man, I need to listen to this when I lose sight of myself

[@swis4921]

Dude this was an incredible video. Even for an artist like me, the same things about focusing on your own path are so pertinent. I'm learning to channel all that envy and wishing I was rapping at a certain level into the mic, my voice, and promotion. You're a gem man!

[@NileWaves]

Thanks for the love ! Keep working !

[@maximize798]

I was kinda losing my faith cuz i get easily frustrated, I just started in the music production thing and y know, you get easily frustrated when you don't see progress, but you helped me to see how much progress I have done, even if I don't notice it, because of all the habits that I have, and some of them were in this video, I will take your advice and keep moving forward, thank you so much! Have a great day dude, you're awesome! Pd: sorry if I made any mistakes, english is not my main language hehe

[@NileWaves]

Yes I can understand you well. Your English is good. Keep working hard!

[@user-lx8ve7eu1n]

These tips are honesty for every ambitious people who strive to achieve greatness

[@nomad1517]

One thing Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) said on one of his live streams was that everybody thinks the only way to make money in music is to get signed, be a rocks star, etc. He said his parents told him to get a job because he wasn't making any money. He decided to get a job making flash video music for companies. Eventually that helped out and for fun he released the song faxing berlin, he was already djing at local clubs, but something about that song really pulled off, and then ghosts n stuff. I remember him starting out back in 2008. It took him almost 10 years until he got famous. His mouse head was basically a joke at pac man, and he thought it would be funny if he wore it live, and people thought it was great. I remember the contests, where whomever had the coolest mouse head got it personally signed or worn by him, or something like that. He was also into graphic design, and made a 3d model of his mouse head after finding out a dead mouse was actually in his computer. But the point of this story, is that this guy came from a fucking basement situation, and didn't limit himself. He also says, everybody tries to put out their stuff online, which is fine, but he said that your chances of success are much higher giving a physical copy of your work to the record company or producer, than just an email. Same thing with Billie Eilish's brother. Her ocean eyes video was just for her dance class, she actually wanted to be a dancer, but fucked her hip up, and a promoter from apple saw the video on youtube, and boom, it took 5 years later until her debut came out with her when we fall asleep album. You would be surprised. But its going to be a hobby when you first start out. You need multiple sources of income, and just have fun. Learn more about the music business, immerse your self in it as much as possible, become an expert. To be a master at anything, you have to adopt that identity as a world class musician or producer and do those actions that world class producers do. That goes with anything in life.

[@ABANDONMASE]

def needed to hear this keep on goin yall next gen of artist gon be the greatest

[@JuloOnTheBeat]

Thanks bro. You made me realize I have to change my mindset when It comes to comparing myself and my achievements to others.. just gotta stay focused on your path.

[@traviswright]

ay bro, this is exactly what I needed and I know hundreds of others needed as well as we both can see. This video is certainly a gem and something I can see myself looking at in those moments, keep pushing as always man, I know I will be. much love

[@tapiamusic1]

Thanks for being transparent about your journey!!

[@MusicNick]

4:30 feel this part heavily. Def had a point in time I followed every producer on IG and KZbin and absorbed so much content. There’s a time for absorbing but def had to eventually unfollow a lot of stuff to focus on me and clear my brain to see my own goals. Good video man

[@leni_dreamer]

love this video, your mindset and energy bro. Wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing. Blessings on your successes X 🙏🏽

[@kenzylafrance]

You hit this video right in the nail! The best part for me was when you stated to compare your present self to your past self, when you said that I've grown and I'm in a much better spot than I was years ago, thank you for your words!!!

[@bertqc5736]

You the goat man 👌👌 remember you from highschool, glad you are making it big and grinding hard

[@williamcordova9152]

Really comforting bro and also made me realize i have been going about it the wrong way ,thanks man

[@WatchUmCook]

Almost shed a tear in the middle of this bro. This is as real as it gets, I went through a similar journey.

[@krvnchie]

thank you so much for this video you really helped me get my drive back. Been going through sum shi that’s been messing with my producing but you helped today, both as an artist and a producer.

[@EW_Studios]

[@gonzalez239]

[@8-bitlawnchair932]

This is exactly what I needed to see and hear right now, thank you so much for this video man, It completely shifted my mood into a way more optimistic one after a long day at work. Feel so much more energized and driven to work on music now :^) subbed and looking forward to more of your content.

[@Falero262]

Honestly this hit home I’ve been struggling with this way longer than I’d like to admit . And trying to take this game more serious. I feel dumb for having the connections I have and not going HARD . Thank you for waking me up just subbed

[@liam_maars]

Man, I needed to hear this. Came across this video at just the right time when I legit was starting to feel like just quitting. Thanks for this video bro

[@Skalpellmusic]

Nile I hear you. 👂❤️ your tag still in my mind even when I work in my regular job I’ve learned a lot from your Videos bro I just can say thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼

[@hicksvilledigger]

Keep growing! You are coming into your own! Proud of you!

[@NestyDAW]

#2 is something that I, and probably every producer, struggle with at some point. Very refreshing to hear you touch on that. I’m 21, been making music for 5 years, producing seriously for 3. I’ve got a long way to go but know where I need to be. Thank you for this video!

[@C5ICK]

Great tips and message. I was feeling really down since yesterday and this truly inspired me. Thank you.

[@freddieje]

I just stumbled upon your channel...really good advice! Thank you!

[@user-sb8yt8gv7s]

[@sereneheavenxo]

i love your attitude and energy. Thats why you came a long way and became successful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge frfr

[@aaronbrenner999]

There’s a great attitude behind each of these points that you made. Thanks for making this video

[@Pazaluz]

I"m glad i found this video man, thanks for the solid advice!

[@JayronnMusic]

When I first started making music (Only been at it for under a year) I didn't really think about all the elements. But as you begin to make your own stuff, you really start listening to all the aspects of a song instead of just the song as a whole. Like damn this snare, hi-hat, piano, etc. Sounds dope, this is really well connected!

[@TheSabinCole]

Well put, putting the energy into studying those you look up to is another way to gain some new knowledge.

[@wasabijones4571]

yo bro im impressed to see you combine two elements that im deeply interested into one topic bringing examples from naval and intertwining beats with business and branding

[@backup1608]

thanks for this video. i’ve been feeling such a lack of motivation and i’ve wanted to give up so many times. i appreciate you

[@byliao]

[@stormie909]

This is very valuable advice. Me as well as all of the other aspiring producers NEEDED to hear this. I appreciate it man! Thanks!!!

[@eliasmcdsipe]

Really appreciated this video! We should not compare ourselves to others, the placements will come in the future. It took me about a year and half to get my first placement and it is the work done every week, behind the scenes, making loops, that no one sees until the finished product comes out. 🙏

[@OFG_Prodigy]

[@6wishesfordeath]

Ayo, You say really right and true things. I myself have been doing beats for more than 5 years, I have never sold, there were no feats, I build my style and think over my future career. Now I have gained experience and am preparing for a big project. No matter how much you want to do everything at once and at the same time, everything will not work out at once.

[@sigmawolf4952]

We need more of these fam. Keep them coming!

[@NileWaves]

[@bobby5850]

ur really speaking the truth! preach!!

[@zuko1478]

Them daily COD style challenges got me so versatile over these years, I'm glad you said that. This shit has to be fun, not every moment will be though, recognize when to put on your business hat and your fun hat. Also, every time you switch computers, its like reaching a new level of Super Saiyan you think that you lost everything but your new style from the rebuild is going to be way better. Notate your styles and level ups

[@yabbeats]

needed this video 💯💯🔥✍🏽
