Billie is a songwriter, musician, producer, vocal producer, engineer and mixer too (official credits) And as musician for many years he is not even a great producer or musician, there are many better artists he is already overrated with all his Grammys and Oscars etc and the most privileged producer ever bc he is Billie brother so he is everywhere, other producers are always behind not with the artist .. he is not a legend for sure and I personally hope that one day Billie will grow up and also want to work with others too like finneas is already doing because he is repetitive in the production with her and is destroying his sister's artistic growth.

Same here dude, I've litterally spent about 5 whole months just trying to make the perfect electric guitar sound for me and my music project. Its rough making things sound professional, but if there ever comes a point where you enjoy it even if it sounds "wrong", go for it because you may never enjoy it the same way again.

@@ultimadum7785 yea, that's how I felt about one of the songs on my EP I put out this year. It was fun to make and enjoyed the sounds of everything it for sure didn't sound professional but I put it on there and it's not the least favorite so that's good. One thing that I learned about making my EP is people are not going to appreciate the time and effort it took to make a song. The first song on my EP was the quickest song I ever made and the easiest....its in the top 2 ranking :/ make music for you and maybe those who might resinate with it but no one else.

@ultimadum7785 Жыл бұрын

@@thenotsoswifttaylor9496 yeah I guess as a creative you want your audience to enjoy the thing you worked on the hardest or something that is the most avant garde, but people like what they like and if that happens to be the most straight forward thing then that's okay. There must have been something special in THAT song specifically that people loved and it's a very beautiful thing, so we gotta take it as a compliment.

@TrioLOLGamers Жыл бұрын

Except you can't give proper opinions on a track that you mastered. That is impossible because of the human nature. There are different reason that you usually study in school. That's why there are usually more people Mastering songs on big music productions. There are some tips to make a master better at the start but it will never sound fully correct (use crappy speakers, look at peaks and dbrms, try putting the track in mono, try putting the track on a low pass, try a compressor with a VU meter on the master track, etc) .
