[@rioleyva2002]

making a whole series out of this! EP. 2 will be about melodies, EP. 3 about drums.. lmk what other topics you want covered

[@stoneysworldd3833]

Good job bro

[@riahijk_]

can you make a vid about the business side of producing like royalties, contracts, etc

[@hunter3551]

@@riahijk_ fr like how do you set yourself up to get royalties, how to sell a beat if you don't go through something like beatstars etc.

[@beatsmithaudio9245]

@@riahijk_ agreed, learning the business side of things and having the confidence of being fully legitimate would be very helpful!

[@onikami9960]

Can we cover music theory?, Or atleast your music theory???

[@prodbymata]

rio really is the goat, not only is he already established, he wants to help out the people starting out with all these videos and streams and putting in extra work for the benefit of others.

[@zxldazxlda]

Networking is important he mentioned it

[@chrisrichbeats7383]

I think being young definitely helped me , when you have less responsibilities and can still live off your parents you can put more time into your craft , when you have to work a job and pay bills you’re more tired , have less time to create etc , I think if you’re young definitely make the most of it and grind

[@regeueees7395]

15 started at 13 I will succeed

[@djalbums37]

You seem to enjoy life and making music!! Much respect player! 48 years old 33 years of making beats and recording vocals! I love seeing all the young prods making money and changing the game!

[@637rxss]

I think niko east was ahead of his time with the method he uses to “create” his beats. You should look into this and speak on it in episode two!

[@diorcoldd]

LMAOOOO

[@sofuckingdosed]

😭😭

[@jovsiu]

The tips about taking time to make better beats and not comparing yourself to others are really important and something that i need to remind myself everyday, thanks for this Rio

[@Denzji_]

You know rio is a generous, and amazing producer and person, when he shares everything he has without a problem.

[@PlastikVesper]

I'd say once you are a rapper's producer as the right hand, that's when you can produce the song in a more complex beat because assuming you already have the vocals, you just throw stuff on top that fits instead of not having space at the beginning. Idk, just throwing this out there in case someone is always producing crazy beats

[@djalbums37]

[@ZainMorshed]

thank you rio! nobody in the industry be covering this except you appreciate it

[@xcenze219]

I'm from Russia.You're one of my favorite producers, I like your sound.I am very pleased that your thoughts are similar to mine, your video tells me that I am on the right track.Thank you🙏

[@sickdirtbag]

Thanks for not gatekeeping information about being a producer, it’s nice seeing a genuine person letting us know what we need to:) ❤

[@fybelx]

Saying my beats aren’t the proplem when it comes to getting songs, even when I’m getting songs, but the problem being my networking is really helpful. I always knew I wasn’t active enough on getting myself out there but hearing it from Rio is just perfect.

[@nyp3315]

It's a pity that it won't help me, because I don't have a rhythm, but I'm watching you, you're talented

[@_alexjair_]

Yo real shit, this is one of the best videos i've watched in a while when it comes to becoming a better version of yourself. Shoutout to you for helping the producing/music community. This video doesn't even just apply to music which is the best part, it really applies to everything regardless of what you decide to do in your life. This really helped me switch my mind up about a lot of things. Luv bro

[@Juksuli]

You gave us gems fr 🙌 Dope hearing tips from someone who is big in the industry

[@daniel-sr1bv]

I just wanna say that this is a great video, REALLY appreciate you sharing you honest thoughts and giving us hella tips and inspiration

Thank you rio!!! I appreciate your empathy and support you give us❤❤

[@westsidevicious]

you’re one of the most noble producers out here thank you for your gems 💎

[@LUVVROMEO]

bro thank you. you were already my favorite producer but the fact that you share your experiences is amazing

[@c.o.n.n.o.r.s.e.w.e.r]

Re;simple beats… I’ve been enjoying the process of downloading acapella verses from a bunch of different artists to test out how it feels with that energy. Can be super useful, and even fun to start a beat from scratch underneath those acapellas!

[@jovsiu]

rio worked his ass off to get to where he is, very inspirational fr

[@Whotfisliko]

Dropping gems fr! 🔥 I think it’s also important to make sure that you are genuinely passionate about producing. It can take several years to start making money and connections with music and if you don’t genuinely love it you will just end up giving up after a year or two!

[@Only1Maysongs]

You’ve helped a lot of people more than you know, never change my guy! 🤘

[@ruicosta5597]

I saw u in another channel to learn beats and you nailed it, im 24 started learning from KZbin videos taking notes on my notepad and i cant think about anything than reach my goals, i wake up and sleep with music in my mind i hope one day i can live with the money i made from it. In the lowest point of your life you need to think whats the point of living and dont do what you love

[@yeezynpc]

I made my first beat in 2018 and this month i just started making beats everyday. I would go months without making anything because i didnt want it. I want this now.

[@ItsMargiela]

the mutuals was a big gem thank you Rio! Blessings to you G 🙏🏽

[@lendaibeats9296]

I'm watching your lives and sound selection is important af. You do the whole beat without mixing and still sounds good

[@_youngrai]

that simplicity in the layers bit is something i came to realize recently. most of my best beats are complex but im grinding out way more / better beats these past couple weeks by just keeping them simple and catchy. thats rly the key to a lot of things. simple but memorable 💯 u goated for this vid.

always inspire me to push harder and get better. nothin but respect for u dawg

[@Knwrdd]

My takeaway from this aside from the useful tips is just the fact you gotta want to work to get where you want to be. Rio you clearly love the grind and we appreciate what you give to the community brotha

[@dannyblaabjerg81]

Rio, this pretty serious. You really helped me here. I was bout to go insane, I was as you say "in the race". I was in a negative feedback loop, I felt I was behind that my mixing sucked, that my melodies was too generic. But as you say "it's a journey" that fucking helped alot just that.

[@its_juiceman]

Rio seems like such a genuine ass person appreciate the series bro really needed somethin like this

[@wolfysavage]

Motivation kicking in while listening to Rio

[@3xacharm]

Rio really giving all the sauce right here. Super humble, genius and cool dude overall! 💜

[@prodbytarantino]

Needed this tbh. Like I be scared to reach out to certain people so I don’t seem like I’m looking for a handout or being annoying. But I feel like now it’s really fucking me up because networking is obviously a huge part of coming up. Plus the mutuals thing got me feeling a little better too, cause I’m fortunate enough to have them🙏🏼

Rio respect! i really like this kind of video and im looking forward for the other ones like this, much love 🖤

what about a video on what to do when you get your first placement and selling beats on the business side and how to handle stuff and what to do

[@Quintopia1]

I’m with ya Rio, keep goin bro. Way up we go.

[@infinitystratos5292]

This tipps are really useful. I find out for myself that enough rest for your body and a good mental health are really important to be productive. And when you stuck making a beat, melody or somehing else, than there are near endless possibilities out there you can do. Search for many different things which are related to music stuff, like analyze a old song you like. Listen to the songs arrangement, the Drum patterns, melodies, the transitions between the specifig song parts and so on.

[@Torretobag]

would love to hear your advice for producers who currently work a 9-5 and are trying to build up producer business enough to do it full time. There's number of hours in a day so what is best to focus on after you get off 9-5 job? How to find a good balance between cooking up beats vs loops, networking, with artists/producers, social media, etc without getting spread too thin and having quality suffer.
