@@dam936ok, didn’t see that one coming
Friends that are into music production? That's a good one.
I'm 37 with a 50 thousand dollar home production/recording setup at home and have been producing since I was in high school. This was very inspiring and true. I just got out the Army and have found which avenue I'm taking my music to, as I now have the time, dream setup with all kinds of Moogs, Yamaha, Rolands, Elektrons, vintage mic clones, etc-etc... I've been hoping to gain focus and this video is definitely saved to my favorites to adhere to and come back to. Hell, I've even been wanting to document my new journey on RUclips. Just need a good enough camera to do so.
Thanks.
You have great microphones, and a great camera in your pocket. Use your phone and show us what you're up to!
your story sounds really interesting, i think you could do very well on short form style content!
Start now. No need for a fancy camera (honestly wish I didn't have to worry about mine because it's so much work to set up, record, transfer files, etc. every single time. Just more distractions lol). Like the guy above me said you have an interesting story and I know people would really enjoy your content. Best of luck to you!

Is there any way to do live videos without being in vertical mode? LOL

I got depressed 2023 that my Friends online stopped playing with me in a video Game so I decided to focus my energy with my Family and Make music with ableton. 11 Months now and i got signed my very First EP a Label. Everything you said is true!
good to know
how they signed you? You sent them your music or they found you somewhere?
@@vladlabyrinth6335same question, I just wanna now how all this shit works
what video game
lol. W but be careful with labels, they’ll get you the quick way with the promise of a buck, funny that I have friends that all they wanna do is game, shit is wacky, gaming won’t get you anywhere in life.
Thank you so bro for this amazing speech may God bless you, everything that you said make sense at all big up to you bro.
Focus , simplicity and sacrifice
Magnifico! This was absolutely beautiful! No bs, just straight to the point. Thank you, your video got recommended at the right time in my life. I will update you on my journey if I ever go big :)
Enjoyed this video very much bro, watched all the way.
100% info and motivation, 0% BS
TOP TIER VIDEOS HERE G, KEEP GOING, YOU ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH RESULTS
Yeah I'm totally Greg. I'm trying to mod Fallout 4, learn Blender (for my mod), make music (hobby, and for my mod), and game and edit videos. I have so many games I want to play, and so many ideas for my mod and I want to get good at making music, but I end up usually just watching videos all day because the amount of things I want to do is so overwhelming. I'm not even good at any of the stuff I do because I can't focus on learning one thing instead I work on each of things at random and not even everyday. It really does make it harder. I'm sure if I focused for one month on just one of those things I would get a lot more done but I can't because of motivation issues.
same, there’s all these shows/movies i wanna watch and games i wanna play, all while wanting to make music 😅 it can be too much sometimes
what type of mod??
@@SMEbeats It is an overhaul mod. I haven't done as much work to it as I would like, and it's been a few years since I've updated it. I am still slowly working on the next update, but the list of ideas of have (a literal list) is over 30, and I plan on making a whole main questline. I want to add tons of weapons, armors, enemies, quests, and right now I am working on re-balancing the whole game to my liking. It's an incredibly ambitious mod for one person, and I'm not sure how many of my ideas will ever actually get implemented. I'm still trying to learn how to script and use Blender. It is called R.N.G - Vendors, Bosses, Loot. My Nexus profile is MisterRADical. I am trying to do this monster of a mod while wanting to make music and play a whole bunch of games and make RUclips videos. I haven't been doing a lot the past few months because my motivation is shte lol it was getting a lot better than AI blew up and that destroyed my motivation.
@@the0nly0n3 Always good to take a few days off of producing to just chill-out and game a bit. Nothing wrong with taking a break every so often.
You described me very well so dont take offense but its not purely a motivation problem rather discipline. I do know what you mean tho compared to the days i have the drive to hyper focus on producing music almost effortless, yes some days do feel rather unmotivated but its the discipline that makes you push further. Def agree with the guy above me tho breaks are very needed.
This one beat a day mindset isnt realistic if you plan to have a career spanning over 30 years like the isley brothers that would be like a 10,000 song discography lol and we all know its quality over quanity. Alot of rappers could make 10 albums and still not top biggies 2 albums
bro got that RPG meta
Spot on mate. Thank you for elaborating, have a great one!
Man you deserve more subscribers! Your videos are so well made.
Damn bro! You really motivated me to work harder! U earned another sub dude!
Such a helpful content, thanks for the clarity and the motivation bro.
Thank you for this video. It’s one of those things you conceptually know but forget quickly with the smallest distraction. I just got back to making music and needed to hear this.
Thank you bro. Really needed to hear this today. Wish you success fr 🙏🏽
This is the best video for producers I ever saw and I've seen aaa looot🔥❤️
Thx for sharing this 🙏🏼
Thanks man, needed this a lot.
Thanks! I needed to see this💯
Great video! I really gained value and confirmation from this! Thanks bro!
42 years old and I have to really really thank you for your words. Cheers
This is such a fresh take thanks so much
Man this was great and illustrated it perfectly. I said forget trying to make whole songs for right now. Just loops and recording vocals. Then once I have enough I’ll go back and start cleaning everything up. It’s amazing what you can get done when you look at the big picture but focus on what you can do today.
Woah. This is it man.
You nailed it bro.
I needed this more than I realized.
Thanks 🙏
Instant follow, subscribe, streaming, and playlisting.
Hope to see you at the top one day
✌️❤️🎧
Bro i gotta say it again, lately your videos are forcing me to produce even knowing im stuck,keep going with this content bro!
nah fuck the content bro should actually post music, he has literally never, the “credits” in his bio are fake, his soundcloud is dead, 0 uploads, nothing on youtube, doesn’t appear on spotify… bro knows nothing about actually growing a career. he doesn’t have one.
@@SaltSpirits You must be my biggest fan
This is the best video on this topic so far I really appreciate your work.
I had the same problem as you I kept changing names all the time building new channels and personas, and I never felt fulfilled. I felt like I was on the same level all the time.
Not a year has passed and I’m trying to finally stick to one nickname and one thing I abandoned all the other stuff that distracted me like video editing, filmmaking ,voice acting.
I can finally focus on music only and I’m the type of guy that tries to get on every platform. I’m trying to minimize it right now.
If you’re reading this and you’re in a similar situation than listen and focus on one thing it’s better to become a master of one craft than an average worker of multiple.❤
I needed to hear that. Thank you.
Well done homie! Only respect! So true with everything you say. Re-Centred me a lot! SUBSCRIBED !
This video impact myself so much in my life
Thanks you so much Akayo :3
The most simple explained video about this topic so far. I already thought a little bit in this way but u gave me the motivation that i needed. And no annoying side information, u got straight the point. I'll definitely come back later for this video.
Thank you!
Thank you bro, new follower here . Very good quality videos and a real heart to heart message
This actually helps a lot, been struggling to make music for almost a year until I posted a song, repeat until you ended up frustrated. It's really easy to get distracted from how other artists do it that you try to implement those methods in your own workstyle. Doesn't really help you at all as you're literally trying to learn things all at once while also juggling real life stuff. Might need to tone down my goals and slowly make my way up.
Excellent video 🥰 ty for the tips
You've got the right stuff, my friend. You've earned a sub. Thanks for being one of the good ones!
Bro, i appreciate you and this video so much. I honestly feel just like you did/do and im just trying to convert myself into the artist i know i can be. Thanks for this vid... always keep striving. I also want to retire my parents one day... we can do it💖
Thanks lil BRo, this is dope, subscribed
Damn, that was insightful. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks. At first I didn’t understand, but after I listened to you for few minutes, it all made sense. So thanks again and have a great day.
Well said brother. Thank you for this. Bring multi talented seems like a hinder more than an advantage at times and my perfectionism SCREAMS to express in all my forms. This put life into a more realistic perspective, thank you friend.
That energy scenario was OP man ! Great job!!! 😊. I’ve cut out even going outside on the weekends to just purely focus on producing (trance genre) …. The hours put in the faster your skills grow! 🎉
Underrated video bro, this was great quality you deserve more likes
ty for this wonderful message bro
thank u, God Bless! Needed this.
Very good message, thank you so much for this video!
God bless you bro🙏🏾 I really needed this video 💙
this thing is so helpful keep posting dawg u saved us
Needed to hear this before my studio session today, thank you bro
Can I send you some samples? Tell me what you want and I can wip some up.
Great advice, great editing!
And that minecraft music in back ground haha. Thx mate it was what i needed right now.
I'm 13, still a middle school student and im a producer trying to become an artist.
This was beautiful, thanks Akayo.
Thank you! 🙏🌠🌟
I noticed once I’ve started focusing on RUclips everything started to take off. I’m not stressed out as much because I’m understanding how the process works in order to achieve the goal. Much love ❤.
Good work on youtube it is a grind. Make sure you select "not for kids" when uploading videos. It will help you with the algorithm. And also I like the deals you are establishing, but I would put them in the comments and pin them. Make the titles simple with the type beat so the viewer doesnt get overstimulated. I wish you the best and success will come
Thank you so much for this
Thanks a lot Bro. That really helped 👍
Thank you Akayo this is valuable
I subscribed before you even asked! Great content. Thanks man! ❤
This is the best channel I've found in a while
Man where was this advice 4-8 years ago? I was trying to produce my own beats and rap/singjay all at once and eventually gave it up because I had too many things going on that needed my attention. I can still produce but the dream of rapping, singing and deejaying/toasting is a young man’s goal. Great video!
Thanks for this. I'm 33 years old and have been making music since I was 20, but always just as a hobby. I made youtube videos for a couple of years, but even that was difficult to do while working full time, having a girlfriend, and having many other hobbies and interests throughout my life.
Your video helped me realize that there is nothing wrong with me. My energy has just always been divided into many directions, and if I ever wanted to make something more out of my music hobby, I could do it if I wanted to.
It's just a matter of focused energy.
Thanks again.
Bro thanks for the refocus I had some much going on in life nou I'm deciding on my music projects
Great video brother and I love your personal and relatable approach.
This is legit advice, thanks. I ran into this trap and was just starting to work my way out of it, so this advice kinda validates that I am getting back on track
Great video 10/10
always felt like this IRL but i never thought about this mindset professionally.
12\10 Bro
My dude, phenomenal advice. Thank you.
This is a very informative video. Thank you for this
needed this, ty bro
Incredible video. I’ve been seeing this frame of thinking a lot lately and I really really need to focus. Working 14 hour days right now to get out of some credit card debt leaving me with 0 time to produce and it’s killing me. My plan is to pay off as much as I can while I’m making good money then completely switch jobs to a simple punch in punch out 8 hour job so I can go all in. Much love brother ❤
I just came across your channel and thank you for sharing. I found your video inspiring.
I toll agree with you bro. This video reflects my recent switch - thx man.
Thanks for making this video I appreciate you
Very helpful. Thank you for this bro.
Loved it bro!
Brother congrats and thanks for this kinda chat it was i need
Thank you for the great motivational video, you kind of opened my eyes a little more 🙏❤️🔥
Thankyou Akayo , strongest advice ever
Great advice, bro. I've seen this technique work alot, not only in music but other interests as well. Very inspiring 🎉🤝
Hey this is soo useful! Really really appreciate this video . I was the first producer before I watched this video
Thanks man !
great message mate 👊
THANK YOU, I NEEDED THIS
Wow, thank you for this video, i feel more at peace with my choice now.
I've been trying to do all the things at once for two years and all i got is a sensory overload.
Couldn't do any music for months after that until i finally decided that i just have to kill my ego, stop seeking approval from everyone and just do music because it's the thing which gives me the most of joy.
Very nice video. Professional AF.
Straight down to the point, feels like this man is speaking straight to me
bro keep these up u will def blow up
Nice video bro just the motivation i need
absolutely fantastic.
This videos was literally exactly what I needed
_Thanks Bro,_ I think this video going to useful for me
Nice one !! Great message mate.
Bro this video hits and I noticed that when I stick to one thing in really noticed the progress but then I remind myself that I left the previous thing which I want to learn and then I'm completely lost and this happen again and again.
The first energy orb was literally me, thank you for the advice bro😅
100 percent true, everyone tryna fool us telling that we need to do lots of social media stuff, but nobody telling that they do that after achieving some goals. I saw some spotify artists profiles and their bios said that they r not active or post in social medias and they still getting numbers because they can focus on music and release through labels that giving good promotion. Prioritize your goals and stay focused on most important things, dont let anyone fool you with spraying your energy on 150 sides of music career. I know there is a lot of artists who post a lot and releasing s lot but believe me these fellas doing this kinda automatically like a habbit they r not thinking too much about it
Bro, you are top! Thanks for this. What a noble goal to retire your parents! Love that. All the best.
Great video! Very helpful
Awesome! 👏👏
Thanks bro. I been trying other ideas like you said. Spending all my energy… hit a plateau… if you can call it that lol.. gonna set one big goal. Thanks for the breathe of fresh air
kid, you are so young but telling the right thing...respect!!
Thank you! FACTS 100% Much appreciated. 🙏🙌
Thankyou bro, I know it may sound cringe what I'm about to say but honestly, if I ever make it big I'll be thanking you for this advice.
