Colt... your honesty is refreshing. Great video, wise words.

[@MassiveCompositions]

Your videos are so inspiring, and I love how you honestly look at the reality of a situation. There’s a lot of fake crap out there but you’re not afraid to be real. You’re doing a great job on your channel Congrats btw🎉

[@homestudioacademy]

Even though we all know that comparison is the thief of joy, it's inevitable. I truly appreciate the message of your video and again thanks for inspiring so many people in the music industry and content creators like myself to keep going. You deserve all the recognition for sure Colt!

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Congrats again COLT! Makes sense what you said in this ViD.

[@gustavoarthury]

Man… great video 🤍🫵🏻🍻

[@larswillsen]

Hi Colt, I got in there thanks to you :)

[@antcall6779]

Congratulations Colt!🤘

[@CaptainIrvitron]

Thank you Mr. Capperrune !!! 😊

[@WutrUduin]

If you plan on putting that on your wall, consider adding a qr sticker linked to this video.

[@chrisdover8507]

Very well said Colt. Wish I had a plague for a few thousand streams . But when I sit down with a coffee and hear what we’re proud of….well that’s priceless

[@claymillsmusic]

Congrats! I was just thinking about ordering one of those from Muso

[@2011Rollsroyce]

Congratulations. God Bless Bro, Keep up the Good Work.

[@MattLeFaitMusic]

Fantastic video man. I needed this today. Thanks!

[@ohstudiousa]

Congrats brother well deserved. Are you heading to The Namm Show this week?

[@nutellaontoast4281]

Billions of streams means the artist has a good marketing team. Over a certain threshold, it has nearly nothing to do with tallent and skill when you get to numbers that big

[@resington]

7k subs on here I have. Over 1Mill streams of my plugin/mix/guitar gear demos. What Colt says is very true.

[@spotsya1916]

Monetized it, keep working hard, diversifying your income is the formula, success is maintaining accomplishments

[@iamsethedwards]

Hell yeah

[@charlesrocks]

Demand is everything

[@HindsightHero]

🤫Da man. Da myth. Da legend⚡️

[@danymalsound]

Music video views ARE on there, but it's been moved to the general "sources" section under the "streams" tab. Hope that helps!

[@ColtCapperrune]

Correct, but they should be included in the total number of streams, since they are included in accreditation by the RIAA

[@allredmusic]

More vids like this brother, love your mentality:)

[@JayfkProductions876]

Wish they Counted Your PRO Credits... On My BMI for example

[@MarcoPolux]

Cool video 👍 👍

[@SeawellStudios]

Very well said man! 👊🏼

[@JayfkProductions876]

Actually the number does mean something That Particular Plaque is wtat means nothing coz it's not tied to Creditation like Billboard/RIAA Plaques, Muso still feels like a bit of a Grey area

[@davidhochstadt2884]

Thank you for this Colt!! You are correct! I’ll check these guys out for my credits. I’m on AZCAP and BMI but using them might be a bit easier.

[@cristianomoro_music]

Great video! I'm curious about what mic you use to talk in your videos. Sounds crystal clear!

[@ShaneThompsonsmusic]

You can add the music video views!!

[@kronbakeren]

nice video! its almost like having a big behringer mixer in your studio with shitty pres ..it looks cool, sounds bad, but it sells .. haha

[@SuperMax_____0.0_____]

Since there are no charts , streamings mean nothing even if they are billions... Its all subjective ❤

[@FLAVMEDIA]

Whooooooooo:))

[@Danijel.Juraga]

Great video. I just look behind you.. Where is Mbox Studio??

[@ColtCapperrune]

While the big room is getting the makeover, I needed my full rig in here for mixing with a bunch of hardware. The Mbox will be back once I go back in the big room full-time.

[@LucasMichalski]

Do you have to have their annual/monthly plan to receive that or free account will be enough? Thanks a lot.

[@SkinnEmannProductions]

How do you get registered as a music engineer on their platform?

[@VirginiaBluesOG]

Let me know if you want to do a rock album😮

[@Just-gt9oo]

👍

[@edmc2]

😎

[@error8418]

As much as everyone hates on the Grammy Awards etc., at the end of the day everyone would like to have one sitting in their studio. Many people in the music industry seem to suffer from impostor syndrome and seeing a materialized symbol of your success every morning when walking into the studio must feel very comforting - so I wouldn't call all those awards, gold records and streaming numbers meaningless.

[@GriffinPoole]

streaming is the only thing in the industry that u can do a million times over & not walk away with a milli, think about that... if u managed a million artists u would have over a milli, if u wrote & sold a million songs to various artists u would have a milli... if u performed at a million venues, if u published a million records... if u sold a million pieces of merch, if an A&R signed a million artists to a label... even a platinum artist with a very low royalty rate can still touch a million when he/she goes on tour, SMH... what else can u do a million times in a row & NOT see $1,000,000 when itz all said & done??? streaming sucks ass!!!!!

[@SeabornProductions]

Hey man, I appreciate your modesty, but let’s be real these numbers they do matter and they are a measure of your success and your work ethic. Don’t discredit yourself or just try to appear humble that’s ridiculous and if anything if I were you, I’d be pissed looking at that number, knowing how much money is actually made and you not having Slice of the pie. knowing you’re an engineer and only getting paid an upfront fee. The Musso AI should be an eye-opener for engineers to put their hand back out and asked for more money. Renegotiate your services. We deserve royalties. That is bullshit.

[@trackaccino5724]

He is right, though. Those numbers don't mean anywhere near what people think they do. Just the fact you think that the number is equivalent to very significant amounts of money he lost a slice from supports what Colt is saying. It isn't. Its a couple dozen thousand dollars generated in total at MOST. You don't live off of that for an entire career even if you have 100% off of it. What Colt is saying here is that they are not good indicators for success. I agree with his sentiment that we should NOT pursue the numbers and put them on a pedestal, it's a recipe for disaster. His approach is much healthier and mature.

[@SeabornProductions]

@@trackaccino5724 we can agree to disagree then. The music industry is a numbers game. It’s a business. Be as creative, humble and passionate as you want, people are at the top because of numbers.

[@trackaccino5724]

​@@SeabornProductionsNobody is saying numbers aren't significant. Of course if you have billions upon billions of streams, you're definitely going to see a level of success that you wouldn't see otherwise. But that's less than 5% of the entire industry, and a microscopically smaller fraction of the entire population. His video is not geared to those super successful creatives, but to the ones starting out or less established. The message is to not get hung up on those numbers, which is KEY to mental stability and long term success. Unless you're in the few billions or above, the numbers mean a lot less than what most people think they do.

[@SeabornProductions]

@@trackaccino5724 well then maybe those people should start paying more attention to the numbers and they will end up in those smaller percentage groups.

[@LaMoureMusic]

1ssssst

[@Studio22mix]

Nice do you see the code 3,3,3 🤫
