[@Thefreemans-interesting-music]

I'm gonna build my assets via music I create. Even if nothing leverages then I still got streaming and a few sales that keep recurring. Passive income if you will. Maybe make a few KZbins for free promotion to up my streams and sales.

Bro just wanted to put this out, your lighting setup is top-notch. Do you mind telling us what camera and lens you use and what render settings you employ to bake the final video output before uploading it on YT? Loving the quality!

[@darklabelmusic]

Oh thanks man! I still feel like a total noob in that area. It's a Sony A7 IV with just the kit lens. I have a smallrig 120 as the keylight and a cheap newer LED panel behind me off to the side. I tweak some LUTS I got off youtube till I like how it looks and I jack up the clarity a bit (not exactly sure what the setting is called). Export settings are just whatever is stock in Davince. I don't change anything there. Thanks for watching!

honestly after suno ai v3, everything about producing music started to feel hollow and pointless. i push myself but i don't even have the energy to continue producing for a client.. it's like my future, my music and my dreams are stolen.. it feels like my life's become a huge void and i have no idea how to fill it again.. i can't enjoy listening to music anymore

[@fivebyfivesound]

Sorry to hear you’re in a tough place. AI will undoubtedly revolutionize the industry and change the way we work as sound/music creatives. I’d encourage you to consider how we can leverage these tools ourselves, rather than just be threatened by them. In the near future, the low-hanging fruit of work will likely be handled in-house by clients with these new AI tools. So it’s incumbent upon us as business-minded creatives to ID the places in the market where our human expertise and creativity is still of significantly more value than what AI can easily make. And then make ourselves invaluable in those spaces. All the best to you as you re-envision the “why” and the “way” you create and work 🙏🏽

[@darklabelmusic]

@@fivebyfivesound lovely response Corey and I agree. Interestingly enough, despite AI making massive leaps quickly… We’ve actually noticed that the amount of money being thrown around at music makers right now for some of these pub deals or catalog buy outs have been much much higher than I had heard of in recent years. Beats me!
