Music Industry Is F*cked Up, Here’s Why…

[@Maxtk]

You can always use a template melody and progression, and then create your own version from it.

For sure! That’s what I mean, but people think it’s cheating 🤷🏻‍♂️

The thing that I don't get about people who use splice loops extensively is: They obviously aren't just making music for themselves, or else they would not try to speedrun every beat to create a sellable product, but they would take the time to fall into the trance of setting up synth patches, or they would get lost in composition, play styles or any other musical skill that can be achieved to push new limits. But if you're just trying to make money, why would you choose such a competitive and oversaturated profession when you could just be an employee in some company and get a nice regular pay for moving your body around for some hours? nice free fitness inclusive, you know? Ai will take all of the generic beatmaker jobs anyway. The only musicians that we still need are the ones who just wanna make music. And they might sometimes use a loop or a midi pack, but it would never be the defining feature of their music, because they look out for the sounds that have not been heard yet

bravo!!!!!

[@thexguymusic]

yeah but the way I see it is like they just want fast results. they don’t want to work hard to learn to make those loops or stuff (which is okay for me). the thing is that lazy people won’t get results in this industry

[@Beatsbasteln]

@@thexguymusic i wouldn't say that it's about the results. lazy people get a lot done in this industry. regularly it turns out that someone famous uses splice samples, sometimes more, sometimes less. but the music itself suffers from it. it is never a truely interesting tune

[@thexguymusic]

⁠@@BeatsbastelnI mean, there are lazy producers who make it, I’m just talking in general… same thing tho, it’s not what I enjoy the most but I think these tunes are okay, at the end of the day all that matters is if people connected with it… at least from my perspective

I'm great at composing but I don't really know how to create "good sounds" - worse is the case when these same sounds form the distinctive character of a genre and I want to produce that specific genre; I found your channel because I'm getting into melodic house, I have every intention of acquiring the premium sample packs, I really think it's good to be able to simply dedicate myself to what I'm good at, I mean everyone buys pianos from Yamaha or KORG, nobody goes around making their own piano.

[@thexguymusic]

yeah I agree with you! Focusing on what you’re good at is probably the best approach, however, if you have some extra time, would be good to cover or learn a bit about sound design as it can transform your song and make it even more unique 💪🏻 You can also use that time to search for cool packs tho 🧐

[@whitelikeasnowfall]

I agree with you man 😊
