Important Files After Studio Session

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.060
Back in the building again. Appreciate the love

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:06.639
as always. Blessings to you all. Showing up again.

00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:09.099
What's going on with you, Q, man? What's the

00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:11.400
business this weekend? What's happening? What's

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.320
happening, man? Bless, Holly, favorite. How you

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:19.839
doing, bro? Excellent. Excellent. So. Certain

00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.800
times of the questioning, there were a well,

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.579
there was a question that came up about the.

00:00:28.989 --> 00:00:32.109
Session files and it kind of was loading into

00:00:32.109 --> 00:00:34.170
like what I was talking about to it like showing

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:41.770
my hand a little bit So if somebody has a session

00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:47.409
and People don't know like what like what's actually

00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:51.549
important like like what actually is important

00:00:51.549 --> 00:00:55.530
when you go to a studio or even if you're recording

00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:59.350
stuff on your own like what files are like actually,

00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:03.369
you know, what do you need to have when you record

00:01:03.369 --> 00:01:08.209
a session? So that's what I'm gonna show my hand

00:01:08.209 --> 00:01:11.730
on in this pie. But first I'm gonna ask a few

00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:18.230
questions. And it's not for too, for confusion.

00:01:18.310 --> 00:01:25.280
This is for learning purposes as well. So. When

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.719
you first started recording we already talked

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.480
about all of it with with you know who you started

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.260
with You know process of moving forward how things

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:39.959
have changed, you know Upgrades and sounds and

00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.780
certain things of that nature but as an artist

00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:47.200
Have you ever really known like what files are

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.799
actually important to you? And I'm asking you

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:58.769
this bro. Oh I like the rough draft foul, the

00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:04.969
final draft foul. I've always been sent those.

00:02:07.409 --> 00:02:10.349
Those are pretty much the fouls that I know as

00:02:10.349 --> 00:02:13.310
an artist. The rough draft before the mixing

00:02:13.310 --> 00:02:17.169
and the mastering and the final draft after the

00:02:17.169 --> 00:02:19.409
mixing and the mastering of the single or the

00:02:19.409 --> 00:02:24.370
song or the album. So I always view both of them

00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:26.759
as important because I'm the type of artist I

00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:30.680
like to just have a ear hear back what I put

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.599
down on wax. You know, I'm just that type of

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.979
artist. I like to listen right to it right away.

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.719
You know what I just did. So I think the rough

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.620
draft is important to me, you know, the rough

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:48.240
draft so I can have an actual idea kind of. You

00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.439
know, I'm saying what it is, because I know if

00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.319
the rough draft sound decent, then the touch

00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.069
up got to be. You know what I'm saying? If the

00:02:56.069 --> 00:03:00.729
rough draft don't catch me, I kind of, you know,

00:03:00.729 --> 00:03:02.430
start feeling like maybe this, you know what

00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:05.150
I'm saying, I take it to heart. So I'm the artist

00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:07.389
that take the rough draft to heart, because it

00:03:07.389 --> 00:03:12.289
gives you an idea of what to expect. And this

00:03:12.289 --> 00:03:16.189
is, I'm taking this in because I've actually

00:03:16.189 --> 00:03:20.550
never, I probably never looked at it. You know

00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:25.389
what I'm saying? Yeah. And this is something

00:03:25.389 --> 00:03:34.469
that is like for years, understanding how to

00:03:34.469 --> 00:03:42.469
be efficiently ready was something that was as

00:03:42.469 --> 00:03:47.310
far as files, what files you need and what's

00:03:47.310 --> 00:03:52.789
important to you. So from the time of about,

00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:59.490
Maybe oh for 2004 maybe 303 might have been oh

00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:06.430
302, but I think really solidly oh for 2004 Pro

00:04:06.430 --> 00:04:11.849
tools was starting to become this The thing everybody

00:04:11.849 --> 00:04:15.770
wanted to jump on it became industry, you know

00:04:15.770 --> 00:04:21.149
and what files to have was very important and

00:04:21.470 --> 00:04:26.769
in a sense of knowing what files to have, you

00:04:26.769 --> 00:04:31.449
had to have, like, either going to school or

00:04:31.449 --> 00:04:35.069
been tied into a circle of people to know what

00:04:35.069 --> 00:04:37.529
files you needed to have will be considered what's

00:04:37.529 --> 00:04:40.189
important. Well, it's not important. Oh, I learned

00:04:40.189 --> 00:04:42.730
later on the trackouts were important when you

00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:45.930
want to take it. We're going to take them down

00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:47.829
lane. Yeah, we're going to take them down there.

00:04:47.910 --> 00:04:49.470
We're going to take them down there. So. You

00:04:49.470 --> 00:04:53.170
taught me that. This is this is something. This

00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:56.730
is something that a lot of people would get would

00:04:56.730 --> 00:04:59.709
get confused by at this point, because start

00:04:59.709 --> 00:05:04.649
talking about checkouts, you know. What's deliverable

00:05:04.649 --> 00:05:07.889
files? OK, so checkouts, checkouts are the files

00:05:07.889 --> 00:05:15.269
that basically stems in a. Industry term would

00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:20.449
be the files that are. The instrumental will

00:05:20.449 --> 00:05:23.589
be broken down into files, file by track by track

00:05:23.589 --> 00:05:28.129
or tracked out. And the vocal files will be tracked

00:05:28.129 --> 00:05:31.569
out as well. Now there are certain differences

00:05:31.569 --> 00:05:34.689
and instances in how you can put the vocals together.

00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:38.029
Sometimes it may be different. Some are, you

00:05:38.029 --> 00:05:40.389
know, you may get straight mono tracks. You may

00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:42.649
get some that are, you know, bounced together.

00:05:43.029 --> 00:05:45.629
Sometimes it just depends on what's needed and

00:05:45.629 --> 00:05:47.629
what's needed to be, you know, to get the final

00:05:47.629 --> 00:05:52.079
sound. But in the instance of saying stems or

00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.079
track outs, this is very important. So when you

00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.279
record as a recording artist the one thing that

00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:04.800
you must know is If you want to have a final

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.699
polished sound Instrumentals vocals need to be

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:15.720
as pristine as possible doesn't have to be perfect

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.470
in a sense in some Places, but if you really

00:06:19.470 --> 00:06:21.230
want it to be like really really really really

00:06:21.230 --> 00:06:24.990
good and really polished out Tracked out is the

00:06:24.990 --> 00:06:28.389
best way. So what is what a track out? It's a

00:06:28.389 --> 00:06:30.850
couple things to look at with this. So I'm switched

00:06:30.850 --> 00:06:37.189
switch screens real quick. All right so This

00:06:37.189 --> 00:06:42.500
is a recording session and I'm gonna show you

00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.060
another instance of another session or another

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.399
part of this as well. I think I can find this

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:52.120
song or the beat. So this is a session that I

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:57.319
recorded with Q. So it's a lot of files that

00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.800
sometimes you may see some people will open this

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.639
up and you will see a thousand files. So first

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.019
off, this file is the Pro Tools file. A lot of

00:07:07.019 --> 00:07:10.600
people lived and died by Pro Tools for so long.

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.379
End of the day, this is a Pro Tools file, PTX

00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:20.839
at the end. Pro Tools basically allows you to

00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.259
bounce files and you produce audio files. The

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:30.000
audio files are what you basically bring in and

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.339
or have created inside and the bounce files are

00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:38.459
what I have exported. So there's a lot that you

00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:40.980
see under bounce files and then there's a lot

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:43.000
that you see under audio files It's not really

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.699
a lot saying that this was kind of a simplistic

00:07:45.699 --> 00:07:49.160
song But there could be more or less depending

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.480
on what you do, you know, but the first thing

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.259
is the audio files So I'm gonna close these bounce

00:07:54.259 --> 00:07:58.180
files up. These audio files are the most important

00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:04.319
files in your whole entire inventory so if you

00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.899
don't have a producer or a place where your files

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:14.660
can be safe in the instance of what I Usually

00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:17.579
do is because when I work with artists, I usually

00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:22.800
just try my best to keep files in Safe places.

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.459
So for the sake of if anything was to have my

00:08:26.459 --> 00:08:28.300
files, bro Sorry to cut you off. You got all

00:08:28.300 --> 00:08:32.360
the files you did together all of Everything,

00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.240
bro. I hope so, because I don't believe you.

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.759
It wasn't the case. Let me finish. Let me finish.

00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:43.139
Let me finish. Everything's a thing of being

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:48.320
safe. I'm going to always. Every recording session

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.779
that I've done, I've always backed it up, whether

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:54.580
it's on a hard drive that's not on the computer

00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:59.799
or it's in. a drive where it's in space, Google

00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.259
Drive. There's all these other drives that you

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:06.080
can pick. You always wanna make sure that your

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:10.299
hands are in some hands reach of files. The thing

00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:12.940
is though, if you have your master file, that's

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:16.460
the only thing you really need. That's the most

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:19.899
important file in your whole entire world is

00:09:19.899 --> 00:09:22.340
the master file. The master file is that last

00:09:22.340 --> 00:09:27.230
one that is uploaded. to whatever platform or

00:09:27.230 --> 00:09:31.850
the one that you've made tangible. That's your

00:09:31.850 --> 00:09:37.110
most important files. But for the sake of, again,

00:09:37.269 --> 00:09:40.529
let me get back to it. Audio files. These are

00:09:40.529 --> 00:09:44.250
the files that you will want to keep. As you

00:09:44.250 --> 00:09:48.190
see, mines are named. I have hook one, hook two,

00:09:48.629 --> 00:09:53.590
intro one. Verse one reverse verse one reverse

00:09:53.590 --> 00:09:58.190
to this was a situation where I was adding Implementing

00:09:58.190 --> 00:10:01.470
edits in the verify up here at the top. Those

00:10:01.470 --> 00:10:07.190
are some minute files. This is Keep real. Okay,

00:10:07.230 --> 00:10:09.070
and then you have a verse one and you have a

00:10:09.070 --> 00:10:14.370
verse two then Simplest simplicity of remembering

00:10:14.370 --> 00:10:20.019
to name files is very important. Get into a habit.

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.659
Don't ever get to a place where you do not name

00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:26.860
files. This will save you a lot of time and energy

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:29.940
when it is time to start mixing and mastering.

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:33.820
Or if when you send files to somebody else to

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:37.080
have them mixed and mastered, you know, and they

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.029
know. what the files are. That is very important.

00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:44.929
Do not mess up that still. So when you record,

00:10:44.970 --> 00:10:48.590
make sure you name your track before you even

00:10:48.590 --> 00:10:52.289
start recording. Name your track, then record

00:10:52.289 --> 00:10:55.669
so that when that recording is finished, it automatically

00:10:55.669 --> 00:10:59.529
knows what to name that file or that track. Or

00:10:59.529 --> 00:11:02.590
even when it's time to track out the files, you

00:11:02.590 --> 00:11:05.289
make sure that you name the files correctly so

00:11:05.289 --> 00:11:10.450
you know, as I have here, One hook to intro verse

00:11:10.450 --> 00:11:14.830
one verse two you get my you get my point So

00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:17.870
the thing is is making sure that these files

00:11:17.870 --> 00:11:23.429
are Recorded it is best as well. Let me say that

00:11:23.429 --> 00:11:28.409
don't just Trash recording is it can't be fixed

00:11:28.409 --> 00:11:31.990
Trash recording cannot be fixed if you do not

00:11:31.990 --> 00:11:34.889
know how to record there. There are a bunch of

00:11:34.889 --> 00:11:38.320
a bunch of ways to learn As I said, I'm going

00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.600
to show, I'm starting to finish my videos up

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.720
now to be on the other channel so y 'all don't

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.039
get these confused. So you understand what to

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.159
look for when you record and understand what

00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.360
to do when it's time to start saving these files.

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.100
Because sometimes it can get crazy. But just

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:57.779
remember, always name your files when you start

00:11:57.779 --> 00:12:00.200
working. So if the track, whatever that track

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.759
is, just name it the hook. If it's another track

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.899
that you need to be a hook, name it hook 2. If

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:06.179
it's another track that you need to be a hook,

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:08.179
name it hook 3. So on and so on. The same way

00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:11.059
with intro or the same way with the verse or

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:13.559
verse 2. However you need to do. Just make sure

00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.639
that you know and everybody else knows that the

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:22.299
tracks are what they are. Now, for me, let me

00:12:22.299 --> 00:12:24.259
say this because there are producers that are

00:12:24.259 --> 00:12:26.740
watching and mixed people that are starting to

00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:29.860
be mixed engineers. And what files are important

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:33.100
to you? There are two steps to that. What you

00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:36.139
just heard, the audio files, which would come

00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:38.299
with a Pro Tools file. Sometimes it's not a Pro

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:40.059
Tools file. You might just get the track outs.

00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.299
Same instance. Here are your files. All these

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:45.600
files are going to be important when it's time

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.659
to start mixing. What's going on? It's your boy,

00:12:49.860 --> 00:12:52.559

of your final files is here I have a lot going

on here. So just pay attention and we can make

00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:03.570
this quick. It ain't gonna take long. It shouldn't

00:14:03.570 --> 00:14:07.269
be any madness. So as a mix engineer, what you

00:14:07.269 --> 00:14:10.409
want, the most important files are one is gonna

00:14:10.409 --> 00:14:12.909
be the instrumental. The final instrumental is

00:14:12.909 --> 00:14:18.590
always going to be critical. Second, the clean

00:14:18.590 --> 00:14:23.210
version, if there are any cuss, profane words,

00:14:23.330 --> 00:14:26.850
things that would slow this track down, in case

00:14:26.850 --> 00:14:30.309
this artist needs to have this song on the radio.

00:14:31.330 --> 00:14:33.649
He can't send this song, she can't send this

00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:37.009
song to the radio without it being cleaned. Hey,

00:14:37.009 --> 00:14:40.509
hey, question. Yes? You got all the clean versions

00:14:40.509 --> 00:14:44.570
to all the songs we done. From my knowledge,

00:14:44.570 --> 00:14:49.529
I do. What? I never knew that. Yeah, I send it

00:14:49.529 --> 00:14:55.250
to you when I send you the final link every time.

00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:57.679
Yeah, it's in there. You just probably didn't

00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.600
look and see the clean version is in all those

00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:06.580
links. Yes. Oh, this is new. So let me finish.

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:09.919
Let me finish. Let me finish. So these are the

00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.940
files that are important. Like I said, so you

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.639
got the instrumental, the instrumental is there.

00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.500
So do you want a final instrumental for the sake

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:24.360
of if the artist ever chose to? use it in a stage

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.320
presence or something to that nature, but the

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.139
thing is Realistically realistically, it could

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:34.279
be done a couple ways. I usually just do a mixed

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.159
version But it really needs to be mastered in

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:44.980
a sense for stage purposes to be loud You know,

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:47.220
give the artist some leeway a little bit. And

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.919
that's if that's if the hook is inserted. This

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.200
is actually just speaking of just the instrumental.

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.840
So the instrumental would be by itself. The reason

00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:00.279
why the instrumental could be by itself is, yes,

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.600
for show use. But sometimes it could be for the

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.139
sake of. So if somebody say, let's say somebody

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:10.639
want it and likes your song. Right. And they

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:12.320
say, look, we want to put your song in a movie.

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:19.570
But. The case of, we can't use your words, we

00:16:19.570 --> 00:16:22.210
can't use your words in all parts of the movie,

00:16:22.389 --> 00:16:24.549
right? We don't want your words, we just want

00:16:24.549 --> 00:16:26.809
the instrumental to be in parts of it sometimes

00:16:26.809 --> 00:16:29.710
just to give the movie feeling, right? But then

00:16:29.710 --> 00:16:31.590
the case of, we don't have your instrumental,

00:16:31.669 --> 00:16:34.350
we just have the whole song. So do you have the

00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:37.330
instrumental as well? Bam, yeah, I got the instrumental,

00:16:37.470 --> 00:16:39.750
let me send that over to you. If you don't have

00:16:39.750 --> 00:16:42.960
that though, from your mix engineer or your you

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.059
know whoever is mixing and mastering your music

00:16:45.059 --> 00:16:48.759
you they need to always make sure that they make

00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.399
an instrumental that is mixed and ready to go

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:58.539
just as well as a mixed final that is clean and

00:16:58.539 --> 00:17:03.419
a regular mix of the original that doesn't that's

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:06.170
just that's wired you know profane everything.

00:17:06.230 --> 00:17:07.690
So you got three different versions. You got

00:17:07.690 --> 00:17:09.849
an instrumental that's mixed. You got a clean

00:17:09.849 --> 00:17:13.150
version of the song and you have a final version

00:17:13.150 --> 00:17:15.569
of the song. Well, two finals. You got a clean

00:17:15.569 --> 00:17:18.069
final and you have the regular final. All three

00:17:18.069 --> 00:17:22.609
of those are mixed. Now I have one as a MP3 and

00:17:22.609 --> 00:17:25.329
a wave. So that's four files already. Make sure

00:17:25.329 --> 00:17:27.630
y 'all pan this. Make sure you screenshot this.

00:17:28.069 --> 00:17:31.950
So that's four files already. Then you see the

00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:34.269
rough file. The rough file is probably the first

00:17:34.269 --> 00:17:36.950
one that would probably be the one that gets

00:17:36.950 --> 00:17:39.690
sent because the case of that's just, you know,

00:17:39.930 --> 00:17:41.829
you have that one file that's just constantly

00:17:41.829 --> 00:17:43.650
saying, so just make sure, oh yeah, is this right?

00:17:43.670 --> 00:17:45.029
How does it sound? Oh yeah, is this right? How

00:17:45.029 --> 00:17:47.150
does it sound? So when you finally get to that

00:17:47.150 --> 00:17:49.509
final one, you want to name it one of the ones

00:17:49.509 --> 00:17:52.849
that's either the final clean or the original

00:17:52.849 --> 00:17:57.130
file. Make sure there's an MP3 and a way for

00:17:57.130 --> 00:18:01.630
both. OK, now. I think that's about it for that.

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:08.740
Yeah, that's it so Knowing the files is a very

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:14.319
important situation file structure system is

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.960
very important Don't ever overstep that part

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.339
that one part if there's nothing else this one

00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:28.720
video like this in save it because Yeah, and

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:33.069
and and you being a responsible producer That

00:18:33.069 --> 00:18:36.890
keeps everything Thank God for you that that's

00:18:36.890 --> 00:18:39.630
the message from this the meat from me a message.

00:18:39.789 --> 00:18:43.849
I'm getting like Never delete your files keep

00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:48.349
them files man See you die like I'm a firm believer

00:18:48.349 --> 00:18:51.690
and keeping everything that I do on file I keep

00:18:51.690 --> 00:18:54.910
everything like even behind if I seen you some

00:18:54.910 --> 00:18:57.190
videos you like oh you got videos of it like

00:18:57.190 --> 00:19:00.789
yes, I document everything on post and I keep

00:19:00.789 --> 00:19:03.099
everything Because you never know when you're

00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:06.839
going to need it, you know, like the files. So

00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.559
that's the message that I got from this. Keep

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.299
those files. Keep everything. Whether you, you

00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:16.400
know, movie film or whatever, like videographer,

00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.039
photographer, producer, keep those files. You

00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.940
know what I'm saying? They're important. Artists

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:27.940
keep your files. Artists keep your files. You

00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:32.759
know what I'm saying? Keep them. Yeah. I think

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:35.839
I actually shot a podcast in the past about something

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:39.440
to this nature about making sure that you understand

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.880
how to save and backing up files and things of

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.240
that nature. It's really a critical situation.

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.740
I think a lot of people don't talk about it enough.

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.960
It should be talked about more. Yeah, a lot of

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.400
people don't care. They don't think that's a

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.240
big deal to be prepared and be, you know what

00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.619
I'm saying, situated. You know, it's important

00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:03.500
but then later down the road the same thing you

00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:07.099
just Erasing off your gmail or your iCloud whatever

00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:09.900
your files you might need that same thing, you

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:12.420
know for a legal battle Okay, what's the time

00:20:12.420 --> 00:20:14.380
stamp that you recorded this song? You know,

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:16.519
somebody might be trying all this stuff. You

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.940
never think about until It hits you and you need

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:23.240
it. You know saying That's part of the process

00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.029
and um, you know to two of the biggest things

00:20:27.029 --> 00:20:31.490
that I'm gonna leave with y 'all is to make sure

00:20:31.490 --> 00:20:35.849
that if nothing else that's something that you

00:20:35.849 --> 00:20:39.930
invest like that's part of the budget like literally

00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:43.329
let's add that to the budget to make sure that

00:20:43.329 --> 00:20:46.450
you're at least spending I mean I don't know

00:20:46.450 --> 00:20:49.230
some costs different you know I know I use Google

00:20:49.230 --> 00:20:53.859
Google is I think a terabyte You went out bro.

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:57.240
I use Google. I think a terabyte. I think a terabyte

00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:05.119
of Google is Wait a minute a terabyte of Google

00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:14.079
is probably around $100 so That's crucial that

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.059
I cloud storage all that storage. Yeah Pay that

00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:22.200
extra man. A terabyte usually costs you about

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.079
$100. So just make sure that that backup is something

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.079
that you take care of your files with forever.

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:32.960
So even if it be the case, if you don't want

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:36.099
to spend that money on something that's in the

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:39.640
cloud version, go to the store, buy you one off

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.680
the shelf. There are plenty of them there. Four

00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.900
terabytes, one terabyte. Gigabyte whatever fine

00:21:45.900 --> 00:21:50.519
The whole thing is about the fail The whole purpose

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:54.220
of our artists or producer whatever you do is

00:21:54.220 --> 00:21:57.660
that fail the fail is the work You go to the

00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:00.579
studio for the fail like I think a lot of artists

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:03.160
just think all the experiences what I'm paying

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.900
for or It's different people think differently

00:22:05.900 --> 00:22:10.099
all the studio time To me, it's some files before

00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:13.299
I leave the studio. I always had a habit, bro

00:22:13.450 --> 00:22:17.130
You send a file Like even if I'm driving, you

00:22:17.130 --> 00:22:18.990
know, I'm saying I call you bro when you gonna

00:22:18.990 --> 00:22:21.710
send them files I trust you but like them files

00:22:21.710 --> 00:22:24.710
bro. Yeah, cuz that's that's the word. That's

00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:26.789
the word That's what you spent the money on for

00:22:26.789 --> 00:22:29.170
that the files man. You ain't got the files.

00:22:29.170 --> 00:22:31.410
You ain't got nothing I don't care you go studio

00:22:31.410 --> 00:22:34.470
record all you want all these songs. Where are

00:22:34.470 --> 00:22:38.569
them files? Where is the work? Need that work

00:22:38.569 --> 00:22:42.109
Alright, so forget just for the helping part

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.420
We appreciate y 'all. Again, if you need help,

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.259
ask for help. Don't be scared to ask for help.

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.299
A lot of people are intimidated by asking, but

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:51.380
if you are the person that's asking, make sure

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:53.480
you are sincere about your ask. Don't always

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.460
just cling on to the person you're asking for

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:57.759
help from. If you're the person that's giving

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.299
the help, make sure that you're in the right

00:22:59.299 --> 00:23:02.599
place. You know, don't, don't. Again, I've already

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.740
said it. If you're in a bad space, don't be giving

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:08.319
