DECAP fellow scorpio Producer 🦂 Speaking things into existence🙌. Great Podcast, I'm more inspired and my lady says your great. Good job keep it up and never stop, same to you Dylan and the ProducerGrind crew. Everything is fire 🔥🔥

[@LongLiveKikin]

I started making beats 9 months ago started this acct quit my job, and yes i am broke af but i am no longer poor. my mentality has evolved, and showed me the potential that the mind has, and its only the start... ive only made $1200 so far, i lost a girlfriend, my car, but im the happiest i ever been, and my numbers keep rising.. its possible, and im way ahead in this than i would have been if i stayed at my job fucking around, and treating music like a side hoe.. Treat music with loyalty, and music will treat you like royalty! These interviews are Gold.. if you havent read think, and grow rich i advice you read it, and you will see ProducerGrind is our Napoleon Hill! Much love dont quit your time is coming if you put in the time!!!! Be yourself, and tell your truths..

[@nickvandenberg4244]

Yeah but how are you paying rent? Where are you living?

[@LongLiveKikin]

@@maverickbeats2226 i moved back in with my dad and gave up the life i had but its worth the risk. why pay rent, and stay in a 9-5 career for 40 years when i can lock in for 4 yrs take the L of living with my dad, and repay him back with a better lifestyle i build for us.

@@LongLiveKikin I see you posting consistently on IG, keep it up bro, much respect for taking the step

[@Spooki_]

Had a Music Law class with this dude in SF a few years back. Super cool guy, very friendly and always very interested in the topics we were speaking about. Crazy that at the time he was just starting to organize the first of his drum kits, and now Drums That Knock is a production standard. Keep killin em man all love.

[@colemanswagg938]

Producers please don't quit school or your job remember music is a hobby until you make it as a career don't get caught up with the hype make sure your priorities are good make sure you have money in your pocket love music for the art don't be in rush take your don't let other people opinions destroy you to make the wrong decisions stay humble stay positive don't worry about the money it's going to come when you make it learn the business before you get in the read your contracts have a lawyer be a business person be original don't be somebody you not be yourself love yourself peace.

[@JHBeatz1]

I agree with what you said but If you feel that you can quit then do it , just do it but do it in the right way like he said above

[@PopBeatzmusic]

TyshawnTv good post!

[@Rojozproduction]

Facts homie!

[@LongLiveKikin]

nah it dont work that way.. its just like becoming a doctor bro. you need to be focused, and 100% in it to win it.. You dont want to create a paycheck you want to create a brand, and have money work for you.. if you aint into what youre doing at school or at your job you wasting your valuable time.. You want to be a pro, or a hobbyist??? That mentality of until its a career is always going to keep you as a hobbyist... you need to already know you want to be a professional producer or whatever it is you want to be.

[@prodbydramatic]

Shout to Producergrind2.0 and Decap!!! A lot of real situation that everyone won't admit or talk about are covered and great advise. Definitely felt like I was there, prime example of what you guys said about the book. and if you haven't seen Cymatics Podcast with Decap you should. Due to most people talk about the same thing but both of these platforms are very different in styles of journalism. SO KEEP IT STRONG. NO CAP

[@qingrichy]

I just got hip to producergrind maybe a month ago and I have been binge watching these interviews. Y'all I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you for putting this shit together and interviewing these dudes so we can catch some gems. Thank you!

[@maxreaper25]

Consistent content and being yourself is the BEST WAY. I noticed this recently

[@JAYFLOPROBEATS]

This interview was filled with nothing but 💎's! Appreciate you DECAP for the tips tricks and knowledge you gave in this podcast interview brotha! I would love to catch a DECAP Masterclass whether it be about networking on or offline, learning different approaches to opportunities. Which ones to take, and which ones to be weary of. Learning more about my DAW (FL, or possibly Ableton or another DAW). I resonate with DECAP in a lot of ways but to be real outside of that it would just be cool to just chop it up with him over Insta live vid or something ya know.

[@maxreaper25]

It takes time so keep grinding. He’s one of the best speakers on here so far I’ve seen.

[@marcusturner142]

This interview was excellent! It's been great watching the ProducerGrind crew grow and develop. Decap the man, Bay Area in the Building!

I can relate to him when he says that he’s a big “why” person. I constantly ask why, and have always wanted to know things.

[@ihatemago4807]

wow him talking about how there is a lane for the people who just make beats for just listening is really inspiring , that's a battle ive been going through ever since i first started making music but hearing him just reassures me that it will work out one day just cant give up on it

Keep the info coming!

[@jonyoungmusic]

Already fucks with DECAP 2 mins in for schooling the youngsters on Cool Edit and paste/mix-paste beat making. I started producing on Sound Forge which is the same thing. A single Wave editor. You would have to take a one shot hi hat and then add silence after the one shot. The length of the silence would determine your BPM. So then you would create a 4 bar loop out of that by copying & pasting that one shot 1 after another. Next, you would mix-paste your kick, snare, cymbals, etc. into the hi hat loop to create the pattern. Then you could layer in keys, bass, and whatever else all one one single track.

Yooo the hr16 is classic, I got one now but I started on the SR16. My first sampler was the SP202 and I picked it up with the DR202 and a DX27 for keys.

[@ilimusicgroup]

You don't have to quit your job to produce. I started in 1994/95. I was 23 years old, recently married with a daughter and working full-time when I started. I had a little career in finance but not making a bunch of money. I managed to get a Tascam 8 track cassette recorder and set up a little studio in my living room. It took me what seemed like forever to get to that point. I was subscribed to MIX and Recording magazine and went to the music store looking at equipment I couldn't buy. But by 1996 I had a friend invest about $3k into studio equipment. I lost my job in that same year and used my temp job $ to open a small studio in Winter Park, FL. My beats were horrible but I knew how to do a recording session (probably terrible too) but I could get $15/hr. The little business did okay, but I wasn't really ready and left the state so I had to shut it down. In 1999 I returned to Florida, got another decent job and started building again. I bought computers, MPC2000XL, monitors and a Rode NT-1 mic while working my job with a family and 2 kids. When I was laid off in 2001, I got a severance for being in management that let me open another studio west of downtown Orlando. I had that studio for 5 years full-time. I had no clients in the beginning and ended up with over 150 local artists recording with me. I met Grammy nominated people, Grammy winning producers, and more. We put in a lot of work in the studio. If you want it, you can get it. Right now the investment is so much lower. I put in about $10k overall before I started and got it all back in the first year of running the studio. You can probably do it now for less than half of that. Now I am going to build a new studio again here in Rio de Janeiro. Put the work in and study the game while you are getting the money together. Read and watch the tutorials. Learn the game and when the money shows up you'll be ready to jump in with both feet. There's nothing wrong with working to get yourself in position. If I was 20 yrs old again, I would bustin butt at a job and building my studio.

[@soundbidness5959]

Such a dope cast i FW ya'll questions cause ya'll producers too. I've spent 10 years studying and comparing and learning each top daw and Cubase is at the top for me with Ableton right behind. Cubase if you're doing production and recording mixing etc... Ableton for production and live. Cubase never gets talked about but has the best of the best features out of all daws but it's only popular in the high end scoring world but if all the producers learned what's under the hood they'd flip. It all comes down to the user though and daw doesn't matter much. he's exactly right on the feel and mood you get from different DAWs. So far I get the best feeling from Ableton but Cubase has too many features and cheat codes to give up

[@BeattapeFactory]
