I'd like to make 2k a week, just enough to live off of. That would be nice, wouldn't it?

We buy software/hardware for the love of doing it in the same way someone who loves playing golf pays over a Grand for a decent set of clubs and a membership at a local course

couldn't say it better myself.

my sister ask me the other day, do i see all this music equipment i buy as an investment, and i said, "yes" she said "so why do you keep buying stuff if you have not made any money yet" i said, " i see it as an investment in my music, not a investment in money."

i don't do music for money or respect. i just do it because i enjoy it.

Probably minus £4000 or so in gear, a few more thousand I could have been spent doing overtime and extra days work.

And I've enjoyed every second of it

Would rather have that than a paycheck from a label .

Speaking of those tunes, that bootleg sounds RUDE! Bigups!

Yeah,that bootleg is SICK!!

i was gonna say zero, but that wouldn't be true.
i got $50 to score a short film and about $12 from the sale of some ambient noise/chiptune cds.

so, $62

Nothing in terms of money.
Billions in terms of fun, love, expressing and enjoying my self.

I use my music for fire spinning performances and get paid probably anywhere from 50-600 dollars a gig... and get them at least once or twice a month, sometimes a lot more... but in a way it's more for the fire spinning than for the music... other than that I am giving everything I have out for free... it worked for Mochipet!

is this a regular penis mesuring thread?

If yes - i totally made 0$ of all the producing. i'm not proud of it, but i can liv with it, cause not everybody is born to make cash with his hobby.

80 quid for some bullshit remix of a football song. also engineered the vocals for said bullshit football song which i probably god about 4-500 quid for. also recorded a few band demos here and there plus bollocks singing over backing tracks. probably a couple of grand in total. not enough.

made fuck all from my own bits so far though.

15 Euro's.

A friend requested a beat so I've produced one, I wanted to sound professional so I charged him for it, he didn't made fuzz about it.

You get some points for the fat guy shooting a pistol avatar, I shit my pants the first time I saw that hilarious.

$0 for me too. I think if I check how my tracks have gone sales wise I'll find it's 0, so I don't check

But fuckit, it's fun hey?

What more could you want than time well spent? Back massages and security... true, true. But it is time well spent.

$0 here but it's still all good in the hood

Never made a penny from EDM.

I have sold a LOT of "beats" in the Amsterdam hip hop scene - I usually charge 10eu/beat. I've sold at least 100 over the past few years.
