13:48 i relate and respect this answer HEAVY i grew up with social media since im a gen z and the while its been a blessing, my perception on music has shifted so much from 10 years ago when i was just 8 years old. perfecting your craft is a MUST when making music, not just creatively but also technically. i remember being 8 years old listening to skrillex for the first time while also listening to the mainstream songs and not really noticing all of the nuances that go into mixing or mastering a track, like making sure the kick drums aren’t too compressed and making sure the sharp “s” sounds in a vocal take aren’t piercing through the mix. nowadays producing has become so versatile that anyone with a laptop and a little bit of money for vst plugins and packs can make a hit on their laptop, and i can easily tell there’s a lot more unmixed/unmastered songs in the world because of this, like not everything has that early-mid 2010's "pro tools mastering" sound in it where everything is eq'ed and balanced to the max by an audio engineer as now the standard is to be the producer, the mixer, and the masterer all at the same time. it’s just such a good answer and i think it can circle back to the other point on not being “good at” / active on social media. personally, i respect that ALRT as well as any other producer that don’t spam on social media with soundcloud and presave links, hashtags and #fyp all over every post. letting the work speak for itself and connecting / reaching out to the right people can make you as an artist be taken much more seriously imo!! so perfecting your craft is a must! another great interview from the sidewalk talk team!
