HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING AS A MUSIC PRODUCER

[@Prod.Cello.]

Appreciate this conversation. We’re all still people and life is still going even when you’re not making music so there’s a lot to live for

[@1D0N.1]

🙏♥️🙌

[@Snook916]

Aśe 🌠💯

[@prod.chapter]

Rio so peaceful he summoned a squirrel just by staying outside

[@dorkinje]

5:24 bro i cried when that squirell came i love life

[@dill2ill]

I already know tons of ppl needed to hear this, including myself 🙏🏻 You do tons for this community Rio so thank you, fr. Can't wait to see the butterfly effect of you bein here take place 🔥🚀

[@Hardi4blo]

Thank you for your ability to put words on something, this really helps a lot to stay motivated. Also cute squirrel at 5:24

[@Meleebeatsprod]

W comment the squirrel was really handsome

[@joemomma6317]

4:46 bro this literally hits so close to home dawg

[@kevinmyrick218]

Thank you for helping me through dark days Rio, I'm going to keep going and keep that chin up.

[@Hermiie]

Great tips Rio, especially the exercise at the end; music isn’t supposed to be something to overthink about, it should just flow. Thanks Rio for motivating us bedroom producers

[@WattyWrld]

Yooo the squirrel at 05:25 Great video btw really felt that 🙏🙏🙏

[@snyd.]

thanks dad, real talk though it’s so dope that you’re as transparent as you are and truly care about the wellness of the producer community. appreciate you rio.

[@eyes1168]

I searched for videos about burnout as a music producer and this is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@proddenjii]

im 18 rn and i can relate to this so much feeling pessimistic and always overthinking criticism i just graduated high school last year and all my creative friends i used to hangout with are all gone and never spoke to me again. Since then im at the point where im depressed, stuck in a shitty job, taking classes i don't like at all, not posting as much, keep shelving my beats, and feeling lost like ik what i want but i don't how to get there at all thank you for posting this vid

[@yunginproductions]

As a teen producer, I needed this pep talk.

[@monkyugi4063]

same

[@timmyyyy999]

same 🤍

[@prodflavor]

Thanks a lot rio, when i first started music i thought i had to do everything the right way, but music taught me that there isn’t a right way to do everything and it unlocked a new perspective for me, not just music, but for life. it also taught me how to stick to something i enjoy and always find ways to improve. overthinking won’t change the outcome for the better.

[@milesjordan]

Definitely agree with the exercise at the end. As producers, it's important to have our OWN projects that makes us happy creatively. It might not fit an artist or a type beat, but those weird projects are always the most fun to create.

[@devindelta_beats]

5:21 that squirrel running on the fence 😂

[@benjaminlazar8363]

I waited a few days to watch this after I saw it posted because I knew it was going to be really impactful and I needed the right space to watch it. So glad today was the day rio, I feel like I’m just a vessel for creativity to move thru me after watching this. Thank you for looking out for the community

[@fractal69420]

RIOOOOO The most wholesome producer in the game. Thanks for the talk man :D

[@xpekt]

Thank you for kind words, I ve already knew what you mentioned in this video, but its really important to hear thet again❤

[@verybigtable]

im 16 my self and started out when i was 13. and the feeling of being behind is something i also always feel. i fee like i have to create a whole new genre or something, like the shit im doing aint enough. really useful video Rio.

[@carsonhackney]

never heard another producer conceptualize a lot of these self doubting thoughts so well. good stuff rio

[@Vergoo]

at a really rough place in life rn, this gave me sum peace of mind and clarity that i had been missing for months, ngl i appreciate ur words of encouragement very much. thank you

[@wenom_]

this is the realest shi ever ty Rio!

[@yasskibeats]

It's been months since I've watched an entire video without skipping parts, very inspiring, thanks for that

[@carlydmark8405]

one of the best topics not often spoken about. Inspired and motivated me so much

[@zumabeatz]

I needed to hear this, it’s hard trying to stay motivated with music when you are struggling to network and build with other prods thank you for this video, I needed to hear this‼️🔥🙏🏿

[@y.b.ckarlo3118]

Holy shit I didn’t know I needed this type of conversation before this video. These are everyday thoughts of many, but all it takes is one with a platform to reach out and grab the attention of multiple who feel the same. Protect this man at all costs 🙏🏽

[@semixproductions]

A lot of people need a conversation like this, just like me so thanks a lot Rio. You are a true inspiration!

[@prodloganross]

I remember sitting in my English class watching Paryo’s vlogs with you and the gang cooking up bangers and driving nice cars. I felt as though I’ve been behind ever since I’ve seen that, but after watching this it’s just fuel! Thank you Rio ❤

[@brenmac]

thank you rio. you're genuine man much appreciate the value, especially from this vid

[@sirmerc]

watching this at 5:06am... this hit different

[@damroyaltyxxii]

[@scotts2023]

This talk hits harder than any beat drops I’ve ever heard, thanks bro 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@wavpax]

thank you for being you Rio 🌊 you inspire me man

[@gush35z67]

God bless you Rio, thanks for keeping it real and for advising newer producers in the right direction. I've felt the way you described in the beginning of being "behind" even though I'm doing really well. This put it in perspective for me. Thanks bro

[@prod.byjrob]

Thank you so much Rio. I really needed this. I have been producing for about 2 years and stopped for a good amount of time. I want to pick it back up and I feel like this helped a lot and taught me lessons that I can use in my regular day to day life too❤

[@prod.chapter]

Thanks for the vid rio, that’s a talk most of creative people need. You’re great

[@1toubi]

That are the words I needed to hear, thank you, Rio! Never gonna give up

[@Only1Maysongs]

Super helpful conversation that a lot of us needed to hear, it’s tough relating a lot of the mental obstacles that come with any creative pursuits to people in our circles that don’t understand so it’s always good to have an online community that gets it. Thank Rio! 🤘

[@lucar648]

Rio is the most creative person ever and has taught me how to look at everything with a creative mind thx so much

[@NoSchThing]

This was much needed, thanks for the spark Rio. Much love always!

[@smifff]

[@ProdbyChazzy]

Man I needed to hear this bro. Thank you.

[@CASAMIADELI]

This was super dope bro helped me get a great session in the studio today 🙏🏾

[@huntertothee]

i compare myself a lot to ppl who are my age making moves in the industry. rly appreciate u talking about that and giving ur own insights.

[@infinitystratos5292]

Rio this Speech of yours was really helpful, now i feel lesser stressed out. Yeah it's the same for me on some days I really struggle and force myself to create a beat just for the sake for creation. And on other days when i feel relaxed, i just open ma DAW start with something simple and all my creative ideas come out naturally. Often the key is not force yourself to create something, don't have any expactations about the outcome of your musical idea. Try to transfer the musical idea from your head into the DAW and attempt to have a clear mind, be relaxed and your ideas flow out by itself. In todays century we often tend to compare ourself with other successful people and we push us to hard to achieve our goals. But often this ambitious fire backwards. On some days you really feel down, on other days you feel really great. To fight aggainst this doesn't get you anything. Just accept it caus life is like a rollercoaster. Iam looking forward for new Videos Rio, but don't overwork yourself for the sake of your community :)

[@harderloopser]

RIO YOU ARE THE BEST, I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS WITH A TRANSLATOR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ENGLISH, AND YES BRO, IT'S 5AM ON MY WATCH, I JUST FINISHED MAKING BEATS, I HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE PLACEMENT, NO FRIENDS IN THIS AREA, BUT I KEEP DOING IT BECAUSE I'M LOADED WITH THIS SHIT, THANK YOU

[@Nick-oy9rt]

I would never ever though that Rio struggled with all that stuff He seems like such a chill dude that never overthinks like hes always just having fun and trying to get shit done it almost seemed like effortless or something idk

[@landonkoethler3498]

Bro that squirrel runnin in the back understood the assignment that was cynamtic asf. Majestic

[@consiglius]

Thank you Rio, we love to listen to you because we learn a lot. We are Leandro(48yo) and Ian(16yo), a father and son duo from Buenos Aires. We've been producing instrumentals for about 3 years now and together we've come a long way full of adventures. See you on the road. Hugs.

[@cabinmusikslaps]

Make beats for yourself too. You’re so right bro. I’ve never made money. But I’ve made hundreds of people smile in my studio. And a bunch dance! I feel payment through reactions. I feel my old songs still being classics.. idk. I enjoy what I make, if people listen it’s just a bonus!

[@bellecurve777]
