    I have a decade of experience and I fall into the music producer/song writer category. I want to learn how to do the business of production.

    When I learn to really take time and listen to my potential and clients, also given them quality results, they had a hard time to “connect” with other producers that only want to rush up and do not invest time in creating a sincere relationship with them.

    Unfortunately that is common. Sometimes it's the simple things that go a LONG way.

    I've been trying a few different libraries over the past few years. I do not have a relationship with any music supervisor(s). I will say this; IF I knew a supervisor/agent, I would probably be light years ahead of where I am. The libraries I use, are competition with every bedroom producer known in the world. I have had a little success(financially speaking, probably enough to pay for all of my set up I've acquired over the years). Not making a living, and not landed a "big deal" as of yet. I will continue this path because I love making music and I know that one day I will "break through". Until then, KEEP CREATING!

    Great advice thanks. Just to ensure we are on the same page I think it would help if you defined exactly what a producer does. Supervise and package a song from concept to recording to mixing and mastering I presume? But does he mix and master himself, or does he bill it to the client, and is it assumed that he has his own studio.

  • @darklabelmusic
    @darklabelmusic6 күн бұрын

    Thanks for watching! Yep, oversees the project start to finish. Sometimes a producer could also mix and/or master the songs themselves or they may farm that out.

    I'm not a lawyer/accountant so this is a disclaimer, but with a solo401k, you can contribute over $60k a year into it. If you do that for 5 years in your 20s, your retirement account will be near $5MM in retirement at your age range lol (assume 8%). Assume 10% and it's $10MM. Compound interest can be crazy. Some producers I know have really good years and only if they did this, they would be in a better place.
