Just added the lesson to the Production Series based on a livestream we did a few days ago. In this session, I’m walking through a professional workflow for using Suno AI and bringing it into a real production environment. The focus is not on using AI as a shortcut, but on using it as a starting point and then applying real producer skills to shape the final record. We cover: - Setting the musical foundation (key, tempo, style) - Generating ideas with intention - Breaking down and extracting stems - Bringing everything into the MPC/DAW - Chopping, sequencing, and rebuilding the track - Adding the human element that makes it your own This is about understanding the full process — from idea to finished record — and developing the ear and workflow to make professional-level decisions. Watch the video, go through the workflow, and then apply it. This is the difference between just making beats and actually producing records. Let me know how you approach it.

Lately I’ve been thinking about something and I’m curious how other producers deal with it. What do you do when the grind starts to feel repetitive and you feel like you’re not really gaining ground toward where you want to be? I’m still putting the work in — making beats, building catalog, sending music out, collaborating — but sometimes it feels like you’re in that stretch where you’re doing everything right and the results just haven’t caught up yet. I know this journey is a long game, but I’m interested in how others push through that phase when the progress feels invisible. What do you do to reset or keep the momentum going?

I was watching a clip from No I.D. and something he said really stuck with me. https://youtube.com/shorts/_jlwELhXhnQ?si=L9howUamvAhUGnRR He was talking about how a lot of producers don’t know how to finish — they just have hard drives full of ideas. That used to be me. Before I got into the MPC, I had a hard drive full of loops… not finished beats. Once I learned how to actually finish, everything started to shift. It’s not about perfection… it’s about trusting yourself, trusting the process, and blocking out the noise. When it finally feels right, you commit and move on. That level of comfort and confidence in the process — that’s where I’m trying to get to. Curious… what’s harder for you — starting a beat or finishing one?

Most producers think once a song is uploaded to a distributor the money pipeline is active. That’s only half the system. A record can be streaming worldwide while the publishing side earns nothing simply because the registrations were never completed. Here are the most common ways publishing money gets missed. 1. The Song Gets Released A record is uploaded through a distributor and appears on Spotify, Apple Music, and other DSPs. This activates the master recording, meaning the distributor collects master royalties. But this does not activate publishing. 2. The Assumption Many creators believe the distributor handles everything, the PRO covers all royalties, or streaming automatically pays publishing. None of these are fully true. Distribution handles masters, not publishing. 3. Two Copyrights Exist Every song has two separate rights. The master recording is paid through distributors. The composition or publishing is paid through registration systems. These systems operate independently. 4. Registration Is Required Publishing income depends on proper registration including PRO registration such as ASCAP or BMI, mechanical royalty collection, accurate writer splits, and global publishing administration. No registration means no publishing payments. 5. Global Streams Do Not Mean Global Collection Your music may stream worldwide, but royalty collection happens territory by territory. Without proper global administration money can sit unclaimed in foreign societies. 6. Money Gets Left Behind After a release goes live producers should confirm the composition is registered, writer splits are correct, mechanical royalties are covered, global administration is active, and royalty statements are being monitored. Skipping this step often leaves money sitting in the system. High Signal Producer Moves Professional producers treat publishing like infrastructure. Lock splits before release. Register compositions early. Cover mechanical royalties. Secure global administration. Audit royalty statements regularly. This is how streams turn into real revenue.

We've added a music production tutorial series in the classroom area. Here is where videos specific to certain techniques with regard to production will be housed. Once they are recorded, they will stay live for a while then move here for the members of the community only. Additionally, over time these will be segmented into the different member tiers to ensure that we are provided what's needed to all standard, premium and VIP members. Stay tuned!
