Honestly I've never seen a channel this honest and real about music production, a lot of them promise the world and how you can earn big but you stay down to earth and show how it really is. Awesome video! 👏👏👏

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks for your support!

[@BlackTarzanDME]

I second this motion!

[@edgeofdreamspace]

A lot of people give advice but they spend so much time on mindset they don’t give much of a plan of action. Thank you for this clear digestible breakdown of steps. Very inspiring and helpful.

[@fredirie]

forever grateful to dark label for setting me on the right path. joining the mentorship was one of the greatest moves of my career.

Thanks for watching Riley!

[@EricDoesMusic]

Great Video. Man, I really like the approach you present here, throw more darts, hit more targets. Client acquisition is a tough one but you've presented a clean solution, and lots to build from - thanks!

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks for that, Eric! Appreciate ya.

[@33beatzmusik]

you made sense in the first 2 minutes sir, thank you for this! ive been playing multiple instruments for the better half of 20 +years.i kinda had a rough childhood and it was a way to escape, like therapy almost. anyway i realized i havent joined a band or anything in my life is because i dont think i want the fame that goes with it, and producing seems like it would be a way to unleash my creativity and somewhat stay out of the spotlight for it, while still getting paid, while maybe helping people the same way i learned how to help myself all those years ago, which i have alllllooottt of experience with lol! But alas, im all self taught, and even tho i can play almost anything by ear, thats as far as my EXP goes with all the other aspects of musik production. so basically i live the music part, but pretty much am figuring out the social norms for the public aspect, which you are explaining finally, so again, thank you SIR!

[@ShubhamShukla-wm7jb]

I was gaining some perspective on the internet and the Indian music industry and then I saw this video. Big help dude, I'm on my way to make some beats and sell them for some change on my life.

[@jacksp8de]

Great video Dan! You giving them too much sauce tho 😂

[@KYLETISZAI]

That's how you gotta play KZbin now

[@jacksp8de]

@@KYLETISZAI Yup you’re right. Gotta give real value

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks Jack! Happy to share.

[@Fewleroids]

Amazing video brotha

[@lukeiggy]

Definitely some great advice in there. Thanks a lot! This video serves as a full roadmap for people getting into producing for and with clients. And that's awesome.

[@darklabelmusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blazinAV]

[@JimJones4Life]

A good meaty video...Thank you for sharing.

[@KYLETISZAI]

Thanks for this!

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey no problem - thanks for watching!

[@rcha2024]

very well presented

[@PseudoSignal]

Man - thank you for this channel.

[@davenellessen]

Thank you for elements 4+5. as an artist myself I can’t tell you how many DMs I’ve gotten from producers disguised as fans who didn’t say so from the beginning. When I realized they were trying to sell me something I would be so disappointed, it made me not work with them and since then I’ve sadly become sceptical of any real fan reaching out.

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey Dave - I really appreciate you sharing your side as an artist. That is very helpful for others to read. We're doing our best to develop producers who are an asset to artists, not a nuisance. Thanks for watching!

[@davenellessen]

@@darklabelmusic maybe I’m an exception, cause I’m an artist as well as a producer so I don’t want any help with production but i wanted to share that. Anyway I wanna thank you for the incredible value that you give away for free in these videos, they’ve been incredibly helpful to me! 💜

[@DylanBretzJr]

Have you considered writing a book or releasing an online course? I've read a bunch of the top music industry books, and they simply don't compare to the advice you give out here on Dark Label. I'm consider consulting, but as a recent college grad, a book or course is more do-able. Great video as always! 👍

[@darklabelmusic]

Hey Dylan! Thanks for that. Funny enough, I just purchased a book called "Writing Useful Books" so we'll see if I get inspired :)

[@welovepkay]

Wow very educative.. Thanks bro and i like the way you explain it very clearly to the point That's honesty not content ❤. Am a producer and will really want to talk to you

[@darklabelmusic]

Thanks a ton

[@HussainAbdi_]

Does your data suggest that if you can’t meet the artists in real life then it’s very unlikely to produce for them?

[@elijix]

Really awesome video !! I'm struggling to be a full time producer and earn some income from it. I was thinking on a similar approach from what you present on your video, and what you said will really help me. Thanks a lot

[@darklabelmusic]

Try it out and have fun! Thanks for watching.

[@oshanemusic]

Thanks a lot for the very insightful video! What's your take on the music for commercials world? Wouldn't it be a more profitable and stable source of income?

[@darklabelmusic]

You're welcome! I appreciate you watching. All of the business models/income streams are fine. Profitable and stable is more about how the producer operates their business and less about the specific model/income streams they choose. I have a video on this coming soon :)

[@oshanemusic]

@@darklabelmusic good point, looking forward to watching that one :)

[@jayrencemusic]

Let em know!!!

[@darklabelmusic]

ha! Thanks James. We'll see if anyone can tolerate 20 straight minutes of me talking lol.

[@gabrielalbertogarcia4356]

Do you know if viberate works across the globe?

[@darklabelmusic]

I would assume so!

[@f4llenstarr]

Can anyone break this down in text in comments for us people trouble with english

[@darklabelmusic]

Send us an email through our website (there is a chat icon in the bottom right corner) and let me know what language. I will put the script in Chat GPT, translate it, and email it back to you.
