One of the best DJs I've ever seen was a 11 year old PsyTrance Dj.
He had to stand on boxes to reach the decks.
But he was nothing short of amazing.
He mixed old Tupac and Biggie tunes into hard banging Psy, effortlessly.
With his dad standing behind him smiling.

Man I love that production, just the idea is really good. I've seen people trying to recreate it on YouTube, and frankly none come close - it's so well done.

Have any of you dropped out of college to work on making music for a living? As in, devoting your time to producing music instead of going to school?

:oops: Yes, and I did it too. After 15 years and several different careers in the music biz, I find myself back in college.

I was about to, but then I realized that income is quite important. So I just devote all of my free time to music instead of other things. :lol:

I see. Yeah, I mean, I HATE school, but I'm going through it as a fallback. Balancing a 40 hour work week, school, and a girl...but making music is what I love so I'm pretty much in overdrive trying to step my game up production wise.

Hopefully not sounding like too much of a spaz, but doesn't it sound great because nothing is original? It's all snippets of incredibly well produced pop or house tracks tracks limited to fuck?

producing as a career is also my dream, as a lot of people here who are really into it.

What I've found helps is...

Reading everything, spending hours of your life non-stop and giving up almost everything for it. If you want it.

This forum has almost everything you could ever need. search function + tutorials for your every question :i: :i:

Exactly what I was thinking. The "production is good" becAUSE ITS a mashup of pop tunes. :| I think Madeon is over rated, and that his age shows.


Anyway, for the formant bass, look up some formant EQ charts. Also, the 13-year-old was a troll.

I was thinking about going to do a musical study, but indeed you aren't gaurenteed in a job in that matter. Production is now there in free-time.

Personally I'm quite impressed by his skills, but the whole approach seems very Guitar Hero rather than actual producing, as in, he learns a pattern and makes sure everything is in key, then just taps the buttons on the launchpad in rhythm.

Actually lol, that just sounds like any production session for me.

Yea man. Musical study is fun if you have the time, but I suggest finding a career that can support you sort of as a fall back.

Music is like art, (And is a form of art) no artist starting out that I know is ever full-time painting unless its for class or on free time. In their other time they are doing a degree in business or something more sturdy until they break through with their talents. Some people will make it, some people won't. Just how it is.

Dont make music because you want to get paid, make music because you love doing it.

Ive thought about this long and hard, and I've decided that it doesn't matter why you make music.
So many of my favorite Hip Hop artists simply made music to make money & get out of the situation they were stuck in.

Just make music you like, the motivations are moot
