Imagine you have just finished your best project yet.
Every time you hit play, you get chills, it's deep, interesting, it's Bach on steroids. You call out to your better half, who is in the other room, and with glee, you say, "You've got to listen to this track, babe. It's unbelievable." With that, the tension builds, and excitement rips through you both.
You pause for a second, take a deep breath, and then slowly press down on the space bar. The song starts. Your other half's face turns from glee to confusion, and your embarrassment sets in and burns deep as it doesn't sound like it did on your own a few minutes ago. What's changed? You think. This isn't Bach, it's ass. You can't bear to listen to the whole six-minute extended mix, so you stop the project after a minute and apologise. The tumbleweed rolls past in your bedroom, and after the silent pause, your other half says, "It's not too bad, babe. Good effort"
That, my friend, is a gentle lie.
This might be you. More producers face this worldwide than we know, but that doesn't have to be you!
Our friend above had a problem: he needed someone to share his music with, and no one could be honest enough to constructively improve him.
That person didn't have a mentor who could direct and inspire the right creative decisions.
Having a mentor means you can instantly get reliable feedback, no waiting around and no guessing. Straight facts. Your track may not sound right.
It may not compare to other tracks in the genre, or it doesn't have the je ne sais quoi. Having someone to discuss this with weekly will mean you can take action without second-guessing, saving you time.
People say that if you surround yourself with three rich friends, you will be the fourth to get rich. This works with music, too.
If you're working with a professional music producer, your chances of success go 10X, which separates you from a lot of competition.
A mentor can teach you things on the spot that could have taken years to stumble across. Time is of the essence, so save it by not mindlessly scrolling through tips and tricks; go to the source.
If you're ready for a mentor to 10X your music journey, you can book a free music analysis. We can then determine whether we can help you advance in the music industry. Let's get Bach to business, baby!
