What's your favourite way to come up with chord progressions? If I'm at home or with a piano, I love messing around to come up with new ideas, but today I'm in a hotel room and started playing with Ableton 12s generation features... https://www.loom.com/share/916ded86a55045a488c6e15b30619bce?sid=40958bd5-e86e-4846-8928-216ab7216ad3

What’s the WORST advice you’ve ever received when it comes to making music? Let’s hear those frustrating, demotivating, and even absurd pieces of advice you’ve encountered and then let’s collectively tear them down. What’s REALLY holding artists back from expressing their true selves, and what do you think we should be telling aspiring musicians instead?

TO DO MUSIC FULL TIME? If a genie appeared before you and said "Mortal - I will magically grant you a consistently profitable career in music for the rest of your life but you will never be able to earn MORE than X amount of $ per month", what would that number be? I know a lot of people say it ain't about the money but you've still gotta fund your life after all. So what'll it be? [It seems it's a range from $5K-$10K]

A bit of a random question here but what Music and Production based subcriptions are you all currently paying for or what should we expect to take on as a musician that starts promoting or selling their own music? I'll Start: - Loopcloud - Beatport Link - Spotify Premium - Host Gator (to host my own website) I assume as I move forward in this journey ill probably want to pick up these as well: - Plugin Alliance Mega or Waves Creative Monthly - Soundcloud NextPro - DistroKid (or Similar Distribution Service) - Linktree I know none of these are mandatory to make music but who is using some of the same services? What other subscription based tools are people getting their money's worth with or who knows of cheaper/free alternatives?

While watching an Andrew Huberman video with Diary of a CEO the two go into talking about neuroplasticity. Andrew says that the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" scientifically doesn't hold up, so in other words its a myth. He goes on to say that we have neuroplasticity available to us for our entire lifetime which means we keep learning new things as long as we are present, attentive, and focused on learning it. I used to think we had to change out habits in cold turkey style but I learned that the way our brain works, just doing a little more of the habit you want to do more of and a little bit less of the habit you want to do less of can build the connections in your brain so this becomes the new normal. How fascinating!
