Best Advice Given To You As A Producer?

[OmegaBeatz]

1. Imitate, then innovate - Knowing how to be great before becoming great while developing your own sound.

2. Write a weekly comprehensive self-evaluation - addressing your improvements/weaknesses, noting what works and what doesn't

3. Delete the worst tracks (or the most mediocre ones) you've made every month. Compete with your very best to remain consistent.

4. Have multiple backup devices and schedule a backup ever 1-2 weeks (project files, samples, documents, track log, songs, Project settings etc.)

1) I remember JD saying that.

2) Ryan Leslie told me to do HONEST SELF ASSESSMENT. To be real with myself and my skill level, as it relates to the competition...Like Swizz, Timbo, Dre, etc.


That's the best advice anyone has ever given me.

Yes, Self-evaluation/Self-assessment is probably the most important skill to learn when improving any talent you want to develop. If you want to be great, you can't be scared to compare your work with the greatest.

When I took my ass off my shoulders, and took my hater glasses off, I was able to see that my music wasn't anywhere NEAR as good as I thought they were.

And when I did that, I was really able to grow at an amazing rate...because I was able to actually SEE where my music was lacking, and address it.

Some guy here said this.... : D

Quantity really shouldn't matter at all.


If anybody tells you they make 5+ beats a day.





They are idiots.






Learn how to make one great/quality track - no matter how long it takes, then learn to be consistent and create many.


That is what separates the greats from the mediocre.

Make the beat, never let the beat makes you.

Don't marry your beats. If it sucks when you wake up in the morning... Delete it.
