Very very solid and to the point tips. Guys never underestimate the feedback part. Since I have prioritized it, my mixes became better ( I have miles to go of course ). If we were not going through Covid 19 and my finance was better, I would not hesitate to have a mentor! Merry Christmas all!!!!
Thanks for all your precious suggestions. Would be great to see you in some video producing Ambient or Chillout music or get some suggesiton on who you think could be great to look for specific suggestion in that kind of music. My wish to you for a great and successful 2021
With EDM Tips I did exactly that ..25 years later. The courses are brilliant! They are concise but jam packed! Will and his team are absolutely brilliant!
Hey will, thank you for all your amazing videos. My question after watching this video is, how can we (myself) find/get a mentor??? It's something that I have been wondering/looking for, for over 1 year now 🎄🎅
Marry Xmas Will. It would have been a laugh if your screen saver had gone off to reveal porn. Snort, I think I have had too much whisky. I was on an album in 1977 with a modern jazz group playing the trombone. It could be fun to release a synthwave track 47 years later haha. 🎅🎅🎅
I think this is a deep-fake bot! Something about the hair around the lips has me wondering???!!!! Great info though! Highly recommend Will's course! Well worth the time+$$!!
Hey! I have taken a lot of courses by EDMTIPS! They’re truly valuable and so good! You won’t regret it , trust me! Especially the 8 week MasterClass, that course alone has helped me so much especially in mixing and finishing music. I was told within 4 weeks of the course by another music producer from labels like hexagon that my music was getting so clean and tight and this was all due to the MasterClass! So absolutely recommend the courses! I also made some sick really advanced sound design lessons in the MasterClass just a bit ago! So truly recommend any course by EDMTIPS, but the 8 week MasterClass is truly the best experience! If you have any questions, just respond here and I’ll help answer! :) have a great holiday! 🥳🎄
I’m not intending to be difficult, but I have to ask. Have YOU been successful in the music industry? And I don’t want to here marketing speak. What have you done, and how much did you/do you earn? I’d love to make music full time, but I have a normal job that pays well over six figures. Is it practical for me to pursue music? Or should I keep it a hobby? What would it take for me to make $250k a year producing music on my own/for myself?
If you're all about the security and the money, then no. Stick with the perception that your $XX/year will feed your soul as well as your family (it will change as you approach 50). If you're serious about pursuing music, vulnerability is the key. Willingness to step out of your comfort zone and fail (miss opportunities). Being your own boss isn't for everyone, and unless you are confident that you can produce great tracks within a short period of time, $250k/yr isn't going to happen anytime soon. It took martin garrix 4 years to get to Animals. Foo Fighters a year (and that was after Grohl had Nirvana) If, however, you;re itching to do something incredibly creative, then Will's one of the guys that can help with that. I made bank as a software engineer, but in the last 20 years the artistry has left the industry in regards to how software is being developed (which is where the creativity is) which in turn sucked my soul dry. I searched for a good instructor/course for a couple of months, and based on what I saw with will's tutorial videos, I signed up. The rest is up to me now. Even if Will made $1m/yr, doesn't change how much I'd be making. That's all on my shoulders. EDMTips, however, gave me the confidence to jump all in. That's my perspective on the whole thing.
@@shanedemorais7397 People seem to misunderstand what money is. Money is freedom. So yes, I value the security my salary provides, but I more so value the freedom it provides...such as the freedom to pursue activities that “feed the soul.” Such as the freedom you seem to have gained after years of earning a high salary, then deciding to pursue your passion (then turning around and denigrating those who pursue financial freedom...how convenient). So while pursuing music may nourish my soul, I’m asking if it can provide the financial freedom that I currently enjoy. Being your own boss is great, until you need a new car and cant afford one because your soul in well nourished...but you only make about 20k a year. I’m not asking about Martin Garrix, I’ll likely never become Martin Garrix. I’m asking how much I could expect to earn if I decide to create music for fun on RU-vid, with less than 100k subs...like our man EDMtips. The title is “how to be successful,” I’m simply asking him how successful he has been. And yes, I mean monetarily.
@@jdstarek It's a fair question, for sure, as the internet is full of people who haven't don't what they purport to have! Full disclosure; working as full time music producer and DJ was hard. I made enough to live on, but after a couple of years started to burn out from the late nights. Best solution for me? Do it part time: Earn a few hundred quid a week - maybe a grand - from DJing / releases / remixing / engineering, and couple that with a more secure income and you can make better decisions creatively. For me - living in Shoreditch (expensive part of London), paying everything I earned on living and getting to bed at 5am (or later) twice (or more) a week had a shelf life. Bottom line in my opinion; don't give up your day job until you've got something real happening (unless you're young and free enough to go all in and take that chance. It happens, but not nearly as much as the alternative).
P.S...just saw your salary. Definitely don't ditch that on a whim! Depending on how much time / bandwidth / resentment for the job you have, though, you could try negotiating a remote-work agreement (if you haven't already)....especially in Covid times....to free up more time for music production. If you can spend 10 to 20 per hours a week on music production and building a profile, within 6 months to a year you should be good enough to earn money from it.
