Thank you

[@NOVMBER]

KXVI what’s up man, my name’s Novmber and I KZbin produce like yourself. I hit my stride a couple of years ago and managed to hit the 6 figure mark selling beats online. I had to take some time off of music and I’m now trying to rebuild everything from scratch. I just wanted to let you know that people like yourself make this 10x easier and more enjoyable. Thanks for not only the info you share but the motivation you provide. Nothing but the best for you family.

[@kayexbeats]

I sold my beats as soon as I began producing at age 14-15, I made $1,000 then stopped. I’m 20 now and I’m about to launch my second music business and try again.

I’ve subscribed to this channel because of ur honesty and good storytelling. There’s one big message from this video: GRIND HARD ALL THE WAY! Even big producers/artists grind hard when they are on top level of success. That’s why they stay on top.

[@dannydimarc7033]

Thanks KXVI! I really appreciate your info.

[@prodkxvi]

Damn! Thanks for the donation!!!

[@BirchTheProducer]

Inspiring other producers is something that feels kinda special seeing how toxic the producer community has become. Keep doing what you're doing bro, you definitely inspired me!

[@Tasey420]

Only weak people would are thinking to support others harms them, and there are a lot of them in the music industry xD

[@prodwestworldwaves]

bro thanks for inspiring me to upload loop kits i thought about it for so long then saw p1 of this vid and started , it’s done me so well and connected me w more producers/artists keep being a bright light in the prod community

[@prodkxvi]

happy to hear that bro!!! keep goin my man!

[@beatsbyswagbeats]

I bought 2 sample packs, and it's insane, absurd quality, I'm following your channel and learning a lot from your content 😱😆😱

[@prodbyylester]

I was making beats just for fun but i started selling them online after i discovered ur channel, ur content is super valuable and it helped me a lot. ty❤️

[@prodkxvi]

ayeee thanks man! best of luck to you

[@musiclearning2983]

Thanks again for inspiring me bro! I have 2 jobs (16 hours a day cleaning floors, bathrooms). I only make 600 dollars a month. It would be great to make at least 700 dollars a month selling beats, but I know it's impossible for someone who can't even make beats 40 minutes a day... but I always watch your videos and it inspires me to learn more.

[@hustlerunnaa]

Bro if you don’t have much time try making loops and sending them out as long as you make quality loops you’ll get some collabs sent your way while your at work

[@prodkxvi]

yea this is tough, if you are that pressed for time, i'd really recommend looking for lil 10-15 minute spaces in your day you can use. spend 10 minutes before work in the car sending loops or dming people, spend your lunch break making midi's on garage band or some shit that you can use later to get ideas going faster. maybe focus on making starters for other loop makers so they can finish them, and you can pump out more ideas than if you were finishing them all yourself. just look for any lil pocket of time you have and maximize the little time you have! wishing you the best

[@79Glitch]

You need to come to America. Out here, you could just a get one decent job instead working yourself down to the bone for so little money. Then you’ll also have more time for creativity.

[@CompletelyBlankPage]

​@@79Glitch Is... is this a joke?

[@79Glitch]

@@CompletelyBlankPage Did it sound like a joke? I’m just speaking from my own experience. In the U.S., anyone with basic social skills, average health, and a high school diploma … can get a standard factory or warehouse job for $20 an hour. And the 4 day, 10 hour work schedule is conducive to pursuing creative activities, in my opinion. And it’s the same with the 3 day, 12 hour night shift with pay differential: you make more than people working 40 hours a week, and you have 4 off days to make music. What is difficult to understand about this point?

[@sincerecartertm]

I especially liked the truth that you never actually took a break or rested!

[@musicbysazid]

This is not just motivation, it's pure inspiration ❤

[@itsbrandontaylor]

Been binging your channel for the last few days, your production and skill level is just phenomenal man! Super inspiring to see your process, especially making samples from scratch!

This might get to finally take my beat making serious and start making money, coupled with other things happening in my life

[@elijahjakes2481]

Happy to see how your drive is, steady schedule, dedication, planning videos , scripted , how you want it to be edited , involving people , frustrations and worries.. and the crazy part is, how the light bulb went off when TB talked to you. Gotta strive more

[@khang8403]

Yo these videos are really nice. They kinda feel like mini documentaries with the editing and its entertaining too. Keep it up bro❤

[@prodkxvi]

Been about a year since I dropped pt 1! Hopefully this inspires yall and gives you some insight! Drop some questions down below I'll answer em!

[@h1ph0p10]

How do you get rid of a fear of failure when making beats.. it’s like my ego doesn’t want me to make bad beats, because then I feel kind of defeated

[@ko-apbeats]

@@h1ph0p10if it’s your ego then humble yourself if you know what I mean

[@prodkxvi]

@@h1ph0p10 i think that to some extent that never goes away, you just need to learn to live with it more than defeating it forever. However, the more beats you make the more you will earn and the more consistent you will be with your quality, so you will be more likely to kill that fear if you just keep cooking up despite having the fear of it being ass!! only way out is through!

Failure exist only if you STOP doing this.@@h1ph0p10

[@supermatt-99]

it's deserved, even your free loops are at an industry placement level I feel like, so you're just good at what you do

[@Jonboyhutch]

The biggest takeaway from any of this and being a producer is having the patience while you put in all the work. Knowing it will pay off after a long period of time. It’s a marathon.

[@anemicbeats]

Ok but what happens if you send the same beat to some artists (or you send the same beat by email to other producers to make 50/50) and there are 2 or more artists that want the same beat? Like I send one beat to 2 producers to make the 50/50 split thing, both of them say they want the beat, I can’t send the same beat to 2 producers right? But if I can’t I should have 100 different beats for every person, like how should I do?

[@nishuboi2009]

living in the US and still trying to make money from such oversaturated market is insane. I can't even think of such a thing in my dreams.

[@johnnywalkerguitar]

Hey man, thanks for sharing as always. You deserve every bit of the success you are seeing, and the community appreciates you sharing more than you will know! I did have a question, if you have a spare second to reply. I am a guitar-based producer leasing beats and have several loop kits in the works. As the producer of the kit itself, would you recommend simple guitar chord progressions with several melodies / riffs to wrk over top of that progression? Maybe group them by style or key? I am trying to figure out where to draw the line of what to offer since most of my tracks are all organic instruments! Some of my best tracks have no drums at all in them, just acoustic guitars. I think if I knew a specific target or goal of the loop kit I'd be able to go all in on it and provide a ton of value. Long winded question, but if you have a second for your thoughts I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks again man, -Johnny

[@prodkxvi]

yea i would say it would be helpful to organize by key and vibe and all that! kinda market it as like a drag and drop guitar making kit, simple chords, drag a phrase on top in the same key, drag in some guitar bend accents on top of that in the same key, and make your own custom guitar loops type of thing! and then maybe another folder with full compositions!

[@johnnywalkerguitar]

Sweet, really appreciate you taking the time to reply! I'm going to go through this and see what I can come up with. @@prodkxvi
