100% agree. I've been trying to create a style where no 2 tracks sound alike. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. My favorite rapper is Em. I listen to Motown religiously. I listen to classical and gospel a few days a week. I don't want to be genre specific to be honest. I dream of a genre where I could have a track on a rock station and another track on a rap station at the same time lol. that's probably why I haven't found my sound yet either.

@CurtissKingTV 7 лет назад

Love the vision Epto! Keep creating the creative world you wish to live in my friend!

@TheScorpion615 5 лет назад

I'm the same way I want to be able to different genre's as well because I feel like I would be more versatile and have more of a creative outlet instead of putting all my eggs in 1 basket.

i think that it's literally impossible to not start of copying others, i did it automatically without even knowing. i can also remember an interview with alchemist about his beginnings where he said "after a while i was like wtf, that sounds like premo" haha

@Y0nex 3 года назад

Finding your sound is almost like finding yourself, Finding the things *you* as a human being enjoy the most and therefore influences you subconciously in your decisions, Which then eventually contribute to how you produce, What sounds you use, Certain vibes you gravitate towards etc etc =))

@thePyknic11 8 лет назад

I've been watching your videos for a while and never actually went through the actions of liking and following you until this video. I tend to watch people on RU-vid for a while and keep up with them by consistently searching for them again before I actually decide whether or not I want to follow them. You have quality information that you provide for not just music artists, but also for anyone that wants to engage in business. Keep up the good work!

@CurtissKingTV 8 лет назад

Thank you for blessing me with that like and follow Marion. It means alot to have folks like you support what I do after tuning into numerous videos and finding the value they need. Nothing but the utmost respect to you for taking the initiative.

@Urian94 7 лет назад

Very much agreed big bro... My favorite producers are ; The Neptunes, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (80's Era), and Quincy Jones (Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad Era). I found everything I liked about their sound and made it into my own. Just about everyone I know that hear my beats are blown away. Gotta admit, after listening to the different vids you made for 'Producer Motivation 911'. This one in particular gave me a new outlook on what I'm trying to accomplish with music. I've always been one about how the sound affects me.

@JEFFMAN90 4 года назад

I always come back to this video when I have doubts about my sound. Thanks for the advice Curtis.

@chapmanxclusivecutsllc.3168 7 лет назад

Curtiss you deserve a statue for this video man lol! I would always ask myself, "Can I really take what I like from certain producers and make it my own sound?" I've recently jumped back into making beats and watching your videos have really helped me understand FL Studio better than I did when I used to make beats.

@mikemedz973 8 лет назад

man I love this vid. 1st becuz just blaze and 9th wonder are 2 of my favs too. secondly ppl always listen to my music and say "that's different. it sounds like a movie. idk how to get at this beat." I think what makes me unique is my background in classical and theatrical music. the only reason I started making beats was becuz my friend sampled one of my pieces and made a dope hip-hop track. sorry this is a lengthy post. I jus like how u tell the truth and don't beat around the bush. keep it up!!

@normapadro9704 5 лет назад

I did come across a video a long time ago that said the same thing. I did some research on different types of musicians and what I learned about music is that music comes in all forms. There are all types of music. There are so many videos here about them all. I researched a lot of them before I felt comfortable with my work. I'm glad I did, because I wanted to fit in everywhere not just one type of music.

@bigmaal18 6 лет назад

I'm really feeling this. Frfr. I feel like my melodies are a weakness. It's hard to find a melody consistently. For me since I been playing the drums my whole life naturally that's easy. Especially since I'm a neo soul type of guy. It's hard for me to make those types of beats.

@BazillMcintoshrushmoremuzic 8 лет назад

Great advise!! My fav producers are Justblaze, and Premo so my beat resembles them, but I tend to get more musical, so that kind of separates me. I was raised on 80's R&B so I get alot of my chord progression from that. Dope video! Bless up

can you please upload a video on the steps an indie artist needs to take to put out a mixtape and a ballpark figure of what each step may cost? like finding beats ($30 a beat), paying for studio time ($xxx) and so on...

@313khari 7 лет назад

true i like to add trap elements into my sampling it just sound better to me

@DETERMINOLOGY 6 лет назад

Finding your own sound = Doing stuff you like/Adding something in that producer wouldnt do ......Like old school boom bap drums and trap bass hi hats dope....

@SIXROT 8 лет назад

First of all watching your videos has been really helping me out man thanks for that! Do you have any advice on how an artist can find producers to collaborate with?

@RetroSonya 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for your advice. I've been having trouble deciding myself, but I think I finally decided on a genre. What do you think of Ethnic Fusion Electronica with 80s style drums? I wonder what that would sound like.

@VORTEXBWOY 3 года назад

I found the right tutorial from just the right guy 😃

@normapadro9704 7 лет назад

I like your video. I heard that before about taking things from different places. I just produce music. How ever it comes out that's it. I just experiment with sounds and rhythms. What's on my channel is my original work. No one taught me how to create music. It was by trial and error that I began producing music. I know what you mean. I understand your point.

@eleven9ent675 8 лет назад

Hey !!! I have a question for you. Basically I want to going into beat making but I'm quite nervous because I'm a female in a make dominated area. I'm also a introvert but I have developed people's skills. Basically I'm just nervous because I feel like being a female you have a disadvantage in this area. Do you have any advice?

@anapriscilla05 6 лет назад

Go for it girl...the industry NEEDS more females. Lets show them what we can do! (: Don't be nervous just work on your craft and everything else will fall into place. Good luck!

how do i know my beats sound good?

@lancemoss6937 7 лет назад

Are you bouncing? Can you imagine yourself listening to that track in the club? chilling with your friends? driving in the car? Also good is too vague a question. What's good to me, might not be good for somebody else. My thing is if it sounds good to you, then it's good. Yeah you can always clean up the technical things that might be wrong, like Mixing or Eq on some stuff, or if something is too loud or not loud enough or the pitch of something. But sonic-ally if it sounds good to you, and you like it. Then "It's Good"

@oldsoul5815 7 лет назад

Lance Moss understand, thanks! yea, i feel the track, i think it's dope but sometimes i'm uncertain if i should send it to an artist...that's why i asked. but thanks for the answer!
