The ARCADE is LIVE!!
The Arcade is now fully playable in the Classroom section of the community!!! BUZZ'S WILD RIDE: Strap in and hang on - Buzz's Wild Ride hands you exactly one button and a runaway coaster cart, then dares you to keep up. One second you're stomping a walking drum on a hand-inked rail, the next you're airborne over a TNT barrel with the track curling into a full loop above you. It's fast, it's funny, and it does not care if you're ready. Buckle up, buttercup - Buzz doesn't have any brakes. ESCAPE THE NIGHTMARE CLIENTS Every freelancer's darkest fever dream, reimagined as a glorious early-90's first-person shooter. You're loose in a haunted mansion with ten gold records to find and a horde of red flag clients hunting you down. Escape The Nightmare Clients turns every artist horror story you've ever lived through into a haunted house you can actually walk out of - for once. INFINITE CONTENT PLINKO Drop Buzz into the chute and watch him clatter down a wall of pegs that sings like a marimba, bouncing toward a conveyor belt with a seemingly endless supply of social media content ideas specifically for studio pros trying to build trust with artists. No more staring at the ceiling. No "I'll think of something tomorrow." And definitely no more excuses. Bypassed Compressor Simulator Probably the closest thing to ragebait I'll make, this was an experiment on how I can manipulate the audio processing math to be accurately reflected in the visuals... without actually changing the audio at all. Try out the StudioLand Bypassed Compressor Simulator today - because your mix never looked this good 😉 Take a look around and let us know what you think!
Pricing -- day rates vs per song
I am interested in peoples opinions on day rates vs per song and what the best approaches are. I have always done day rate, but I end up doing a lot of pre production and bits and pieces. But I think a per song will look too much as one lump amount, as people tend to prefer to try and get a lot done in the time. But I refocusing my studio work and have new clients coming in I will be doing a lot of production work on, including playing and arrangment, so I wonder about how I might approach this going forward. Is it offering the options? What guardrails do people put in place? I do indie guitar and song based music, not pop or electronic, so its alternative and band or songwriter led.
my intro ! name is Hero/SWAVE
Hey ! Glad to be here in the community! My name is Hero, and i go by SWAVE as my producer name:) I've been producing for 10 years now, and my favourite part of this job is creating music that uniquely conveys my worldview. Usually that means experimenting with/manipulating the sounds I use to more succinctly convey the granularity of my thoughts/emotions. Frequently, I create music inspired by colours/images/art, i love the creative liberty it gives me, and how it forces me to think differently about the sounds/fx/techniques i'm using! i'll attach some of my work below, for context, i took a boring picture of my coffee (lol), and used that to inspire the beat i went on to make afterwards ! As well as some more of my work that i'm particularly proud of:) In terms of what I'm working on, my focus at the moment is monetising my craft, and helping people find their sound as a producer! Because of AI, and the impact it's had over the creative industry, i've felt as though we need to explore our creativity now more than ever, and nurture the humanity in our music through exploring WHY it is we gravitate toward sounds, our personal relation to sounds and how they convey a certain emotion, the purpose our music serves etc etc. Where I'm stuck: I'm struggling to manage all the responsibilities that come with growing my income and balancing all parts of being a producer. Producing, inbound, outreach, filming videos, editing videos, calls, etc. It adds up to 12-14 hours a day (even by fixing the problem of task switching by assigning days to certain tasks), and of all the work I'm doing, I find it hard to know where I'm spending too little time/too much time and prioritising 'optimally' for lack of better words. So I guess in short, systemising it all and figuring out how to manage everything at once. Any advice on how you guys have systemised it ? https://www.youtube.com/@swavebeats https://www.instagram.com/herodotmusic/
