KXVI always providing so much value 😍💜

[@RealDLMusic]

I appreciate you breaking things down into steps that don’t feel as overwhelming. You make it seem possible and as simple as just making a beat/loop and sending it to people. Thanks for the videos cuz they always put me to work.

[@DerekGudmundson]

Bruh I'm sorry I keep skipping on your content these past few months been hella swamped with the day job but keep it up I super appreciate everything you do for the producer community!

[@charlie7801]

Watching your videos has inspired me a ton. I'm about to quit my job, go into debt and risk it all to make beats and loops.

[@blakwxrll]

I wish you good luck fr

[@thesamplestash]

Thanks for the shout out bro 🙏🏻

[@Rmcbeatz.]

The gems 💎! Quick question do for now you are only focusing on your loop store? No more beat sales?

[@danielsaintmusic]

During the call he mentioned not making tons of full beats lately, mostly making loops for packs, placements, and collabs. I personally started a channel of no drums acoustic type beats and have actually seen some great success from that because I think not a lot of people are doing it. Specifically with your piano playing skills I would recommend doing a "no drums piano type beat" channel where you just pick a genre like R&B and drop a piano instrumental every other day with no drums, super simple and open for artists to sing/rap/freestyle over

[@chriskanemusic]

🔥🔥🔥 good stuff! I copped a loop pack from you a few days ago and made something dope. We sent off to dreamville, so hopefully we get that placement 🙏🏽

[@Youngspaldingbeenbalin]

I hope that shit hits. Seeing stuff like this motivates me to keep going

[@blakwxrll]

Wishing you the best

[@CashHouseMusik]

Dope bro your channel is actually worth to watch.❤❤❤

[@Ryjos]

Hey, could you do a video on mixing and mastering your beats in logic? Or just kinda things you do to get them ready to put them out and sound the best way possible

[@djsheanbeatz]

thanks for all the advice

[@Loetofficial]

So much value in this video 😍😍✌✌

[@DALOWRECORDZ]

Thank u bros 🙏🏼

[@nine-o]

Yo! First time here! I hit that sub, good info!

[@johnathanbeats]

He asked some great questions!

[@JRJoelBeats]

Appreciate all the valuable info you provide bro. Question. When starting a KZbin tube beat channel etc, should you upload the same beats you have in your best store or should they be different

[@Xiaomansounds]

same and focus on one niche type beats

[@roymadeit]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@maxgothamofficial]

great video and info

[@Vhonskievlogs]

Hi, I am new here. I am interested on selling beats online too and I hope I will learn a lot on your channel. Glad I saw one of your video😊

[@gunkmayhem]

Love the videos! Could you start doing timestamps?

[@Prodby_clay1]

🐐

[@menticeflyboy]

Gems bro💎 But i can't get to the drumkit, how do i get it?

[@djpakknight]

have a separate TYPE BEAT KZbin channel? Why not just add it to our own main KZbin channel? I'm thinking it would be best to keep it as one because the subscriber number would be focused on one channel AND also people would be exposed to other types of content which would increase brand recognition. BUT what am I missing because I've seen other producers split it up with dedicated channels.... Thoughts?

[@DALOWRECORDZ]

Yup I was one of your 80% customers

[@CesarBuenoMusic]

Awesome Video! Question, Which format you recommend to send your loops MP3 or WAV?

[@danielsaintmusic]

Always send as mp3, if its wav they will have to download it and 9 times out of 10 they will just skip it. And in my experience, anyone who needs a wav will just ask after they've decided they wanna use it, but a lot of my collab prods say they just use my mp3s

[@CesarBuenoMusic]

@@danielsaintmusic Thank you for answering !

[@danielsaintmusic]

ofc 🙏🏼@@CesarBuenoMusic

[@ProdbyUnorthodox]

I have a question and hopefully kxvi can answer this. So I noticed that kxvi kinda separates himself from his previous business model (sending samples for collab sales) And in this interview he makes it really clear that he doesn’t focus on it anymore. I wanted to start doing the same thing to make a living out of this. (Or at least another income source) But watching this makes me kinda unsure if I should invest that time and effort into building my email list with top producers and sending out daily samples. Maybe I miss understood kxvi but it appears that the market is over saturated and it’s not worth it to start this business model anymore…?

[@danielsaintmusic]

the actual call was obviously more in depth than the final edit could be for KZbin (2+ hours total lol) but to answer your question yes he did elaborate on it more during the call. To summarize what he said, he still makes a solid amount of money off of collab sales, but it's not what he wakes up every day to focus on anymore (he focuses on SoniX now). That being said, he's still making loops daily and he has mailtrack setup to where he can easily send 500 emails in a couple clicks, so he sends loops out anyways (both for collab sales as well as placements). I think the overall theme of the video is that you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket, because eventually the hype may die down or the market might get saturated, and you will be left with less income if that 1 thing was all you had going for you. Finding ways to "kill 5 birds with 1 stone" and have multiple revenue streams with what you're already doing is the key to doing this full time

[@KeyAnoBeats]

Editor here, I'm the villain on this one a bit, he definitely went WAY more in depth with that and still acknowledged that it's still a probably source of income if you're consistent

[@sharifeady6834]

@@KeyAnoBeatsediting is 🔥

[@KeyAnoBeats]

@@sharifeady6834 Thank you sir!

[@Magnetic1908]

Should I copyright my beats before I put them on KZbin?

[@sergeantpacket6944]

bro can u make a video about how to improve in music producing

[@sergeantpacket6944]

i mean not about how to sell but how to become good in making beats (like what to learn and practise or whatever)

[@danielsaintmusic]

this is a great question because the answer isn't always very straightforward when people just say to get good. If I was starting from scratch on producing I would find every KZbin video I could on the daw im using an learn the basics and some of the keyboard shortcuts to save time in the future, I would download as many free packs as I could find to get loaded up with some really good sounds, and then I would pick whether im gonna focus on melodies and loops or focus on drums and creating full beats. from there I would enter my loops or my beats into every beat battle I can find online, every discord server, and start making content of me playing my music for the camera for IG and TikTok etc, and once people start reaching out to me to start working, or ask how much for a beat, or just anything in general that signals that my music is worth buying or listening to, thats when I would know that my music is at the threshold of being "good enough" to really start selling and promoting @@sergeantpacket6944

[@harjotbakshi3568]

bro a question, right now even if i can find any person to collab they ask for money on beatstars. How to actually approach people to collab through beatstars and how to find them or you mentioned an email list of 400 on daily basis, how do i make that list? How to find those guys to collab with me?

[@danielsaintmusic]

Yo so from my own experience of doing what KXVI recommends, I just go on KZbin and type in the artist style that I make loops for (xxxtentacion type beats for example) and then create a google sheet of all the names and emails and instagram handles of everyone I can find. then I DM them on instagram asking for permission to send them loops in exchange for 50/50 beatstars splits. the ones that say yes, I send a pack of 3 loops to as a demo of my work, and then I ask if they'd like to continue receiving loops (almost daily) and all of them so far have said yes. from there I start sending 1 loop per day or every other day, whatever I can manage, and doing that over the course of the 3 months I mentioned in the interview was how I made just under $2k (its actually now more like $2500 since this video was filmed)

[@hambonetunes1988]

Side question, I know not really related but not sure who else to ask: those who make beats, do the beat makers also mix the beat? Or is that usually later after the vocals and final production is complete?

[@MrTee-uy5tl]

If you plan on posting your beats on youtube and want to sell them to people you’re gonna have to mix and master it yourself. You got to have a certain quality, otherwise people will just skip your beats and not buy. If you send out beats to artists and/or engineers you can keep it a little bit simpler but you can’t just send completely unmixed stuff out, at least a little bit of leveling, eq-ing and a limiter or clipper on the master to make it hit, otherwise the beat will sound pretty weak and in most cases very bad

[@hambonetunes1988]

makes sense, thanks! @@MrTee-uy5tl

[@khudkebeats]

hey, i have a question ! personally me , im the beat maker rather than the loop producer , how do u suggest me to increase my sales?

[@sammyfacey2280]

Please have me on bro I’m struggling

[@BuildAChek]

Can u help me to bro I been grinding but I’m finna get back on live twitch nd KZbin cause I’m way better now but I need to sell online I already got contacts in my phone

[@Larpeggio]

you said you could also be selling that kit on your own? You mean someone could sell a kit for $500 to a loop kit company and still hold the rights to sell that same kit on your own website?

[@prodkxvi]

yes all deals are negotiable !

[@Larpeggio]

@@prodkxvi i appreciate your videos man, thanks

Hi wassup? Do you have a free drumkit? I dont find the link youu referred to in the video

[@thahyst_beats]

A subscriber who's already making a living off music 🤔

[@danielsaintmusic]

I would say I make my living off of teaching, not music directly. even tho what im teaching is music, im not making a full time living off of 'creating' music, and this video is geared towards helping people in a similar situation achieve the goal of actually selling their music for a living, not just teaching it 🙏🏼

[@thahyst_beats]

@@danielsaintmusic Much respect for teaching the music, it's something that a lot of people can benefit from.

[@PhatallyFlawless]

Is there any chance you could check a few minutes of my live stream and tell me if my music is good enough

[@aubreygoodings9523]

@danielsaintmusic & @kxvi Nice jams but can’t find the pack hè promoted in between the interview can anyone replay with the download link??
