Producer Diaries Podcast | Episode #19.
Jay Cactus, Ocean, and LLB join forces to bring you a brand-new weekly podcast where we talk about music production, content creation, life, and current events.
In this episode of the podcast, we discuss our upcoming plans and recent experiences. We talk about Jay Cactus' trip to Rome and his interest in visiting historical sites like the Colosseum and the pyramids in Egypt. The conversation then shifts to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, with us discussing our favorite diss tracks and the authenticity of the accusations made in the songs. We also touch on Drake's collaborations with UK artists and the perception of him as a culture vulture. We conclude by discussing the impact of the beef and the different perspectives on who came out on top. The conversation covers various topics including the recent beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the potential future projects of both artists, and a discussion about different DAWs such as Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Ableton, and Pro Tools. We share our opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of each DAW and their personal preferences. We also touch on the perception of FL Studio as a beginner's DAW and the industry standard status of Pro Tools. In this part of the conversation, we discuss our experiences with different music production software and the importance of improving our skills. We touch on the challenges of recording vocals in FL Studio and the benefits of using templates. We also discuss the importance of studying and understanding different music genres and the value of playing instruments in creating authentic and high-quality samples. We reflect on the balance between being a specialist in one area and being versatile in multiple genres. The conversation covers topics such as personality tests, career recommendations, type beat channels, and content creation. We discuss the Life Compass test & how it analyzes different aspects of personality. We also explore the idea of pursuing careers based on risk-taking and empathy levels. The conversation then shifts to type beat channels and the potential for success in that niche. We discuss the importance of keyword selection and consistency in uploading. Finally, we touch on the benefits of content creation and the opportunities it provides for brand building and sponsorships.
