[@justinreynolds3935]

Finally someone talked about not going into debt and living below your means. This biz you could Make a lot then nothing for a while. Guys he is 100% right now this goes for any career really. Great advice

[@neiloldfield1217]

Hi Billy 👍 Have just discovered your channel this evening, but it really is a goldmine of advice, inspirational and yet grounded logic. I really also appreciate that your delivery is not perhaps as slick as you may like, but it comes across as thoughtful, experienced, and authentic. I've just got back into songwriting & recording after getting burnt 20yrs ago - if I'd had access to this sort of stuff back then, perhaps it wouldn't have crushed my spirit as much. Keep on doing what you do, when you can cause content like this can make a real difference to folk that need to hear it. Sending good vibes in your general direction.

Great video with lots of good tips. I agree with making friends over just networking. Your friends are your network. What I want to know Billy is Let's say I just set up a home studio now what? What do you suggest I learn first? What are the basic skills an aspiring producer needs? What are the best resources online for learning? Maybe a video on this topic? Thanks Billy. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy them.

Absolutely in shock that someone out there understands the importance of atmospheric resonance (Air pressure). Paul and John always sang their harmonies trough the air into the one mike. The air resistance helps to suppress the odd harmonic components of sound before they enter the mike. Nobody today cares about this very important aspect of sound recording. It is as you said, three times more rich in sound quality, than recording directly into the desk. Am going to buy a triode valve stereo preamp to completely remaster three of my Albums to further enhance the second harmonic component in the overall sound. The video of Stockers Chain is a play on words referring to Wall St. Set and Osiris are the Bull and Bear. You can really hear the struggles. Anyway, thank you for elucidating and confirming my musical progress.

[@JackKnight-v6g]

[@ThePsychicFish]

Wow what a wonderful video... It can apply to many areas of life not just music!

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks!

[@laporteestouverte]

[@yiqwaba3833]

Thank you this is a goldmind.

[@nastynate2229]

This is some of the best motivation I’ve heard in awhile thank you good sir ❤

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

My pleasure!!

[@disklamer]

Consider there are a million of us out there trying to get something off the ground in the music industry. Consider the thousands of nepobabies, the volunteers, the desperate and the thirsty who are prepared to do whatever it takes. Consider the crafty kids who spend day and night. The competition is insane. Finding, and focusing on a niche is a good idea, be that film sound or commercials or acoustic ensembles, find something that you have a unique interest for, ie. the lesser known path.

Always buy a used car. The value of a new car drops the second you drive it off of the lots property. The advice to get expenses low is just good advice.

[@ThiagoMatarazzoGuitar]

Seriously... Your words are gold.

[@Roximoe]

This couldn’t have come at a better time thanks kitmama for the tax tips I’ve been stressing

[@shainemaine1268]

Alright y'all motivated me into making something actually find-able! I always had trouble recording (playing for people wasn't ever an issue), but I did all last night and didn't seem to have a problem with it... screw it I'm feeling it

[@FREESPUR]

Great stuff! I found myself preaching some of this to artist over the years. Especially the tax info. Some listen some don't...

[@tyremanguitars]

this was really helpful to me, thanks!

[@ryandavis4247]

Fantastic advice great video wish I seen this video 14 years ago.. But yes hard lesson learned still learning but yes all fantastic pionts 🙏🤘

[@megatonleviathanofficial]

Thank you for making this video. It is what I needed to hear.

[@hiphopchild9540]

honesty ? sincerity ? you'd rather tell someone : i can't do it, i don't know how to do it than ending up with a bad reputation.

[@PressuredSpeechBand]

I always have more respect for someone when they say "I don't know." They can always learn the skill or information.

[@alkaponememphis]

Great advice Billy and Crystal!

[@kevinlentz7604]

Love ❤️ your channel

[@officialWWM]

It’s easy, just the best :)

[@steveelstermann3110]

Love your channel! And did I see an Alesis Wedge?? 😊

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Yes! I love it and still use it. The Cedar Room is one of my favorites for vocals.

[@steveelstermann3110]

@ dude! I love the cedar room. Hahaha. So funny. I still have my first Alesis MIDIVERB I bought in like the late 80s. It still rocks. Present 15 on drums. Gotta open it from time to time to clean the little buttons so that they work. Hahaha. You’ve inspired me now.

[@synthzizer3324]

Another top notch video 📹 👌

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

Thanks!!

[@DarkoP9.13]

Revertibrae , you invented a name for a reverb plugin. But I get some royalties too!

[@JorgeMorales73]

That chick needs her own channel! That voice…

[@FreakingOutWithBillyHume]

I've been telling her...

[@MVVblog]

5:22 Let me tell you how taxes work where I’m from: if you pay them, you can’t afford to eat; if you don’t pay them, you lose everything. So, anything you try to do in Italy that isn’t a regular office job is doomed to end terribly. No ifs, no buts!

[@nitromeda]

"Pay your taxes!" - Tell that your new old President 😫

[@SaviorMoney-777]

He pays his taxes. If you think different, you're wrong.

[@xxsouthxxsidexxroyxx]

His Russian loans pay his taxes*​@@SaviorMoney-777

[@disklamer]

@@SaviorMoney-777 ^^ this guy has the proof

[@Jplazanyc]

Loopholes are legal that even democrats write into law and take advantage of. If you made millions and could avoid paying taxes, you would. But because you’re not a millionaire and don’t know how to avoid, you’re mad. Better yourself.

[@xxsouthxxsidexxroyxx]

@Jplazanyc get better pussy

[@WALLMUSICNOW]

Don't get your hair cut 😅 Saves 50 bucks a month.
