Lol I love this video and this guy. You can tell he’s worked with some pretty sketchy ppl if he lists to not bring a gun lmayoooo😂 great video!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

+Gianna Baum Thanks, finally someone who gets me! Lol. Yes, back in the days with Wu Tang and others, we had to ask them not to bring their guns, so we wouldnt have another shootout. :)

@@SkyeLabMusicGroup - Very unprofessional of them. But Wu-Tang forever!

[@adetunjioshoniyi2851]

Hey I see you reply to comments so can you make a video on what singers should know because I could sing but I can't read music

[@kellyblack2010]

I'm so guilty on #10 I will record and mix but I don't ever feel like OK it's prefect lol I'm my biggest critic

[@mikylesewnarain1789]

Can relate🙏

[@jessica4885]

Couple hours of practice on a song is my limit , they are only home recordings . But this was very informative..

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Glad you liked it. We have lots of videos on mixing and producing vocals, so check out the rest of our channel if you have a chance :)

[@ChristianPauchet]

Hey I see that you have logic's stereo spread plugin loaded up on the screen in the background. What do you use it for? I don't so many people/engineers that use it.

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Not really much, I just picked as many interesting looking plugins that I could fit on the screen as a backdrop. But I actually do occasionally use it. But it does some weird phasing thing that doesn't sound great in mono. For stereo spread I usually go to PA Stereomaker, or the Soundtoys Microshift. Or if I just want to widen the existing stereo image, then Waves S1 Imager works well, sometimes.

[@displayname8848]

Thanks for the reply! I really like your channel. You teach really applicable topics and are very thorough in your explanations.

[@sessionmeditationclub-heal4153]

sir, Congratulations for all that incredible info, is the music business that I was studying for 3-4 years until to learn and practice them. but, I get one question out of them, How an artists should make money and pay for their recordings-mixing and mastering? Through a 9-5 job(anything or teaching music)? or playing live at gigs performing cover songs? Others, can do it through playing live at streets collecting donations. . . what do you think about it? and what do you suggest that is the best possible way?

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

That has always been the big question. :) And I think the answer is whatever is right for you, may not be right for another person. And everyone that I know in the music industry that has had any success has a completely different story then everyone else. There is no standard career path in this industry. Good luck, and continue to learn as much as you can and hopefully you'll keep taking positive steps upwards.

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Great advice Arty! I use LPX but moved over to s1v4.5...now using both, love your honesty...Thanks

[@RosesOfPeace1]

Perfect video .. Ty so much for being sincere n helpful Much love 💗💗

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Hi Sarah, glad it helped. We have a bunch of videos for singers, regarding recording, mixing vocals etc. So please check it out if you have a chance. Thanks :)

[@NonnyStrikes]

#9 is what people need to hear. It applies to everything you said prior and after. If you put in work. EX: 8+ hours a day researching production, audio engineering, etc... your chances increase! Regardless of what you learn from it, you're DOING IT. If you get a decent mic, a basic program (cakewalk) is perfect for beginners and FREE. You will learn about yourself, the process, and it allows you to embark on a whole separate journey that will broaden your perspectives!

[@BiologyMusicVideos_educational]

Great video, thanks Arty!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

[@petalzovroze8980]

thank you so much

[@NinjaKnuckleJoe]

#10 surprised me!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Yes, but it's something that too many singers do! Hopefully this will make them think the next time. Thanks :)

[@MasterofEcom]

awesome advice..thanks

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Thanks so much! More videos coming. :)

[@YoyomaG6]

What am I guilty of? Sitting on music. I tend to only release one track per year and constantly tweak...

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

It's hard to build any momentum with only a song a year! You also run the risk of overshooting it. Meaning it might have been better before the last 2 months of tweaks. (but maybe not :)

[@sheilakimbrough7303]

EXCELLENT!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Thanks so much Sheila!

I cannot say thank you enough. Those were really eye opening advices. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿. As a new artist I'm always happy to know the do's and don't. Feeling serious about taking this to another level and not make mistakes.

Hey Fulvio, yes, still a problem for me as well, now that I'm doing youtube videos. Hard to just say "it's good enough for now". BTW, nice videos on your channel. 🎸
