00:00:00.839 --> 00:00:03.759
What's going on everybody not just music podcasts

00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:08.000
in the building one more time On this good Saturday

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.160
evening Technically sound ready to go No more

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.519
issues There's never a problem when we do this.

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.699
I don't ever have a problem to do this I love

00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:21.079
to do this stuff however long it takes us to

00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.000
get it going it takes us that long to get it

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.100
going But guess what it's about shooting and

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:28.649
getting it done. It ain't about taking taking

00:00:28.649 --> 00:00:31.230
the issues and rubbing them in each other's faces.

00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:34.369
I'd never rub this in your face. It's all love,

00:00:34.429 --> 00:00:43.729
always. How's everything? Everything good, bro.

00:00:44.649 --> 00:00:48.229
Technical issues, that's it. Hey, you know it's

00:00:48.229 --> 00:00:50.350
all love, man. Hey, I was just trying to figure

00:00:50.350 --> 00:00:52.869
out what the issue was, man. You know, I'm passionate.

00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:57.280
The passion comes off as aggression. Sometimes

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:02.280
I never want you to feel as if in there's It

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.900
is game. I told you just get it right. We get

00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:07.099
it right. We get it shut, you know, that's a

00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:10.140
simple way to do it It is I don't like to ever

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:12.000
get the energy off because if we get the energy

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.280
off ain't I need to shoot I Know we gonna shoot

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.540
man. We're dead. That ain't that wasn't number

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:22.512
a little you know little whatever That wasn't

00:01:22.569 --> 00:01:27.150
A lot of this stuff is so fun, and this is the

00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:28.469
reason why I'm bringing this up today, because

00:01:28.469 --> 00:01:30.909
I was going to talk about technicals anyway.

00:01:31.849 --> 00:01:34.049
We've been having that all week, right? All week,

00:01:34.150 --> 00:01:40.310
right? So this is the gig. I want people to realize

00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:47.010
one of the hardest things to do is to release

00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:52.810
content, music. You know, it's one of the One

00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:56.709
of the biggest rules to it is that part, simply.

00:01:57.109 --> 00:02:01.090
Like, no one likes that part due to that. Like,

00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:07.609
it's never easy. It's always issues. You can

00:02:07.609 --> 00:02:10.669
imagine, I do this all the time. Every week,

00:02:11.129 --> 00:02:16.490
sometimes two, three, sometimes four times. And

00:02:16.490 --> 00:02:20.330
honestly, I've gotten used to it. You know, the

00:02:20.330 --> 00:02:23.449
dealing with the issues, the headaches, stuff,

00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:27.069
you'd be like, like, I mean, I've gotten so close

00:02:27.069 --> 00:02:30.229
to doing finished product, you know, even with

00:02:30.229 --> 00:02:35.629
videos, and I did one thing wrong. Just one small,

00:02:36.370 --> 00:02:40.629
tiny thing that won't even take one second in

00:02:40.629 --> 00:02:43.789
time to even see. But I feel like it's an issue.

00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:48.000
And I go all the way back. Fix that one point,

00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.159
re -render it, cause rendering takes time. Sometimes

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.139
rendering takes 30 minutes. Sometimes rendering

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:56.659
takes 20 minutes. Sometimes it just, it just

00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:59.240
depends on how long the content is and how much

00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.020
detail is put into it. But. I'll give you your

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:07.250
credit too off. You know, we talk. I gave you

00:03:07.250 --> 00:03:09.909
credit. Yeah. You already know how I feel about

00:03:09.909 --> 00:03:11.590
you, bro. You know what I'm saying? Your work

00:03:11.590 --> 00:03:15.530
ethic. And I want people to realize that that's

00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:18.669
like all that is real. The parts that people

00:03:18.669 --> 00:03:21.009
see is the beautification of. That's the part

00:03:21.009 --> 00:03:24.110
that I love to get to that part, you know. But

00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:28.449
I've learned the technical side, the issue side

00:03:28.449 --> 00:03:33.969
of it, how to deal with it and just fluctuate.

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.680
to whatever's needed at that time, because everything

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.939
is different. There's no platform, there's no

00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:44.979
person. Everybody has a different feel to it

00:03:44.979 --> 00:03:47.639
or something. I mean, you look at all the differences

00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:53.400
in songs that's put out, you would think that

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.939
one little piece of a song could keep you from

00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:02.009
greatness, from getting your song released. You

00:04:02.009 --> 00:04:04.909
know, it's to a certain platform. It's not it's

00:04:04.909 --> 00:04:08.189
wrong But what can we do about it? You know,

00:04:08.189 --> 00:04:10.469
you just got to just roll with it. Um, that's

00:04:10.469 --> 00:04:13.310
one thing I especially with tune core tune core

00:04:13.310 --> 00:04:17.310
is one of the hardest You know platforms to get

00:04:17.310 --> 00:04:22.069
your music You know plugged into is more so due

00:04:22.069 --> 00:04:27.389
to their Popularity, you know, let's say that

00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:31.540
you say popularity but This is something I want

00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:36.439
to talk about now. So even after Tunecore situation,

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.879
you know, we dealt with this for a week and some

00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.379
trying to get a song released. I hate releasing

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:50.720
songs on certain platforms due to the way they

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.959
want, as I said, just what they want. I can't

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.439
control that part, but the parts that I can control

00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:04.339
are you know, efficient enough for me to know

00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:08.279
that if I get, you know, if I get on there, I

00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.839
know what to do. So just like just now we just

00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.399
had this whole situation. I'm like, what's going

00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.399
on? You know, but at the same time, at the same

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.680
time I look into it and I'm like, okay, fix it.

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.699
You know, if I can fix it and the fix comes off

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:30.100
correctly, That's a win. So I have to look at

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:31.759
things like that instead of just looking like,

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:34.160
okay, you know, it was a hard process. Yeah,

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.339
it was a tight process. Was I patient? Yeah,

00:05:37.339 --> 00:05:39.879
I was patient. I just read into the little details

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.139
that they was looking for and finding things

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:44.800
that they would find wrong in a musical ear.

00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.740
And luckily, blessing enough that I could find

00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:52.029
it without trying to, it being a reckless. You

00:05:52.029 --> 00:05:54.189
know a reckless situation because the time the

00:05:54.189 --> 00:05:57.350
time that it takes to put out the music all the

00:05:57.350 --> 00:06:00.670
time You you put into getting it, right? There's

00:06:00.670 --> 00:06:03.769
still little details that you have to do to make

00:06:03.769 --> 00:06:05.750
it possible to be put out now i'm gonna ask a

00:06:05.750 --> 00:06:09.870
question just just so you can your your mindset

00:06:09.870 --> 00:06:17.069
has to be a lot like How I was maybe years ago

00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:20.879
with the certain little Things with the details

00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.699
and not knowing like what to actually do so I

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:28.399
Think you've always been more advanced than me

00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.279
though and that's the but it's just it's just

00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.120
what I've learned but let me ask a question so

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.639
even with you even with you feeling and hearing,

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:44.980
you know And I just hearing but you had to listen

00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:49.990
to the music, you know There was a very short

00:06:49.990 --> 00:06:52.430
spot that was in that song. I don't even know

00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:54.350
if you, did you recognize the part that I took

00:06:54.350 --> 00:06:58.389
out? What's going on? It's your boy Duann Barrino

00:07:57.660 --> 00:08:01.480
I think it was the little split second between

00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.319
this is true love and dreams to reality. It was

00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.160
just a pause. It was a slight pause, but now

00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.980
the newer version, you go right into it. This

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:14.480
is dreams to reality. So let me give y 'all an

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.180
example. And this is something I want y 'all

00:08:16.180 --> 00:08:19.300
to hear too, because this is the stuff that we

00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:22.579
need to do podcasting for too. And this actually

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:28.660
could help NJMP Beats podcast as well. And the

00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:33.190
sense of what can be said here, but There's a

00:08:33.190 --> 00:08:38.250
lot of issues with understanding live music and

00:08:38.250 --> 00:08:40.090
just the regular record that you put out, right?

00:08:40.470 --> 00:08:44.909
So with live music, live music has to feel like

00:08:44.909 --> 00:08:48.789
it's live, right? The reason why that one spot

00:08:48.789 --> 00:08:52.909
in that song, which is the, matter of fact, I'll

00:08:52.909 --> 00:08:54.470
play that part right here for y 'all real quick.

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:05.559
How y 'all feeling out there? Hope y 'all good.

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:16.679
Yeah. Okay, that's the one part that stopped

00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.100
this whole situation, this whole release from

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:22.899
coming out because of that little five to 10

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:28.039
seconds right there. Even though Q was actually

00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.669
singing. Well, because he was really saying he

00:09:31.669 --> 00:09:33.490
wasn't really he was just really ad -libbing

00:09:33.490 --> 00:09:36.649
the that part of the song was really more I really

00:09:36.649 --> 00:09:40.149
when I originally created that song that song

00:09:40.149 --> 00:09:45.889
was really created for a movie Honestly, that's

00:09:45.889 --> 00:09:48.330
how I created that song. I created it for a movie

00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:52.009
due to the instrumental vibe That's in the beginning

00:09:52.009 --> 00:09:54.850
and at the end. It's basically my movie too,

00:09:54.870 --> 00:09:57.690
though. You put it in my movie And it was really

00:09:57.690 --> 00:10:00.230
for the sake of if it was the case, I was going

00:10:00.230 --> 00:10:02.389
to use it for something like that. But when you

00:10:02.389 --> 00:10:03.950
heard it, you liked it. So it just made sense

00:10:03.950 --> 00:10:05.750
that you just, you know, you did something to

00:10:05.750 --> 00:10:09.929
it. But for the sake of saying in a live situation,

00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:11.570
this is this is something that y 'all should

00:10:11.570 --> 00:10:16.210
know. Make sure that your live record, even if

00:10:16.210 --> 00:10:18.509
you're going to hit the stage, make sure that

00:10:18.509 --> 00:10:22.470
there's no instrumental vibes in between one

00:10:22.470 --> 00:10:26.850
song to the next due to. This is just rule. So

00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:29.990
if it was a CD, if it came out on a CD, the CD

00:10:29.990 --> 00:10:32.769
would have had to have that one spot out because

00:10:32.769 --> 00:10:35.389
a CD, one, you have you got to have a certain

00:10:35.389 --> 00:10:38.269
amount of time and limit on CD. But two, they

00:10:38.269 --> 00:10:40.850
want songs on CD to just flow from one song to

00:10:40.850 --> 00:10:42.990
the next. So when you put that CD in, when it

00:10:42.990 --> 00:10:45.470
goes from song one to song two, it just slides

00:10:45.470 --> 00:10:48.409
right into it. It don't have no drop off in between.

00:10:48.649 --> 00:10:50.769
And they don't like that drop off in between

00:10:50.769 --> 00:10:53.830
due to that's just, you know, that's oh, it's

00:10:53.830 --> 00:10:58.730
actually an old code. Yeah, let me say this Did

00:10:58.730 --> 00:11:04.409
it disappoint you how how they It's especially

00:11:04.409 --> 00:11:07.269
from past releases, you know past releases we've

00:11:07.269 --> 00:11:10.090
had situations to um, sometimes it's the picture,

00:11:10.149 --> 00:11:13.610
you know, the the the You can't have names on

00:11:13.610 --> 00:11:16.730
this. You can't have your name on it. Yeah, you

00:11:16.730 --> 00:11:20.450
just this this it gets crazy Name in a song title

00:11:20.450 --> 00:11:24.870
that was part of the problem too. Yeah What would

00:11:24.870 --> 00:11:30.090
you tell an artist? I'm sitting outside, I did

00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:33.490
this on purpose. What would you tell an artist

00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:40.110
about how crazy a release is from putting it

00:11:40.110 --> 00:11:43.149
out on your own, meaning on your website, right?

00:11:43.870 --> 00:11:47.129
Versus putting it out on a platform. You can

00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:49.169
put it out however you want, whenever you want,

00:11:49.250 --> 00:11:53.240
on the website. All you got to do is upload that

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.820
thing, bang. It's right there. And this is the

00:11:56.820 --> 00:12:01.700
crazy thing, bro. Check this out, though. Ain't

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:04.879
it crazy? The easier platform is easier to put

00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.820
on. People don't want to go and support that

00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:10.240
platform. But the hardest platform that is hard

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.980
to put on, they want to go stream it up and listen

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:18.840
to it. And I appreciate it, though. But why y

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.320
'all can't? I want y 'all to support it on my

00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.779
website. Download that thing, man. If you really

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:26.320
love me, man, you're really a die -hard fan,

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.360
download that album, man. It's a classic. You

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.919
know what I'm saying? Pay for great quality,

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.659
man. You know, that's all. Any artist that's

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:39.679
out here doing things, the one making beats,

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:43.059
like he just said, it take a lot of, they don't

00:12:43.059 --> 00:12:46.000
see the hard work and the backstory and the background.

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.779
the work that goes into this stuff, man. And

00:12:49.779 --> 00:12:52.379
of course, when we do all this and work hard,

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:55.120
we got to charge some time. It's a price that

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.120
we put on our material because it is a lot of

00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.340
sacrifice, a lot of hard work. You know what

00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:04.179
I'm saying? So I just want the consumers to know

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:07.460
that, you know what I'm saying? Like this ain't

00:13:07.460 --> 00:13:10.200
we love it, but it ain't all peaches and cream.

00:13:10.820 --> 00:13:12.960
You know what I'm saying? We just have difficulties

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.659
here. The things that you go through to get a

00:13:16.659 --> 00:13:19.659
product out the like I think fans would appreciate

00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:23.639
it more if they knew that the struggle that we

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.460
go through But this is this is this is another

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:30.620
reason to last then this is can kind of conclude

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:33.440
us on this I'm gonna keep we can keep talking

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.639
about this more often to just for right now because

00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.480
it's about that about the going to hot season

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.399
somewhere in Music is about to be a thing that's

00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.539
about to be moving around. So I'm gonna say this

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.399
One thing, find a platform that suits you, right?

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:55.279
Q has this, Q's had a situation now that made

00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:58.159
him grow in a sense of how he could release music

00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:00.460
in the future. I mean, he's dealt with this now,

00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:02.320
it's probably gonna be his hardest battle because

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.460
it's not, it wasn't just a regular, you talking

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:09.169
about a 22 minute clip, audio. And, you know,

00:14:09.309 --> 00:14:13.129
it has to flow a certain way. And it was accomplished.

00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:14.649
You know, we put it out on one of the hardest

00:14:14.649 --> 00:14:17.169
platforms to get it through, which is TuneCore.

00:14:18.590 --> 00:14:21.850
One of the things, one thing, another one to

00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:23.889
others to look into, there's another one called

00:14:23.889 --> 00:14:29.110
Distro Kid. And another one which I'm definitely

00:14:29.110 --> 00:14:34.330
pushing people to be on now is CD Baby. Don't

00:14:34.330 --> 00:14:37.190
overlook it. I'm gonna tell y 'all why. One and

00:14:37.190 --> 00:14:40.110
this this has helped them out to You cannot beat

00:14:40.110 --> 00:14:44.009
a $10 release and this $10 really stays up It

00:14:44.009 --> 00:14:46.870
does not come down, you know until you pull it

00:14:46.870 --> 00:14:50.070
down It's not like how a tune core which I was

00:14:50.070 --> 00:14:52.210
starting to get tired of paying this fifty sixty

00:14:52.210 --> 00:14:55.250
dollars a year It's just to keep my music up

00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:58.809
and you know pushing through you all which CD

00:14:58.809 --> 00:15:00.549
baby is basically pushing them through the same

00:15:00.549 --> 00:15:03.409
exact platforms y 'all the exact same platform

00:15:03.409 --> 00:15:05.009
Some people thought you know, you go on their

00:15:05.009 --> 00:15:07.100
website. It doesn't show It shows that, you know,

00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.659
a lot of people want their music on, you know,

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:13.200
social media platforms, and it only shows if

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.200
it's going to be on TikTok. And honestly, it's

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.379
actually on all of them. A group that I'm with,

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.679
The Voice of Morning Star, my dad uploads their

00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:27.240
music through CD Baby. And we have done that

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.360
for years. I mean, even when it was just cassettes

00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:32.299
and CDs, you know, we've always been pushing

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:35.230
through them. But for the sake of... Just if

00:15:35.230 --> 00:15:38.789
you go on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and search

00:15:38.789 --> 00:15:40.450
The Voices of Morningstar, their music comes

00:15:40.450 --> 00:15:43.870
up on each one of these platforms. So save your

00:15:43.870 --> 00:15:47.549
money, y 'all. Save your money. If you really

00:15:47.549 --> 00:15:50.750
want to get down, save your money. Go down. Go

00:15:50.750 --> 00:15:55.259
with CD, baby. To me, I think it's a go. I mean,

00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.179
and that's good for the ones that started. Yeah,

00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.700
a start. Yeah, yeah. You know, I wish I'd put

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:03.159
it on. It's kind of like an iPhone user. When

00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.179
you use an iPhone so long, it's like, I've been

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:09.120
with Tune Corp. And I'm going to be honest with

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.879
you. I'm going to be honest with you. It's actually

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.039
easier than what you think to switch your music

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.419
over. Because see, what happens is, so to switch

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:20.039
your music over, and this is if you didn't know

00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.820
that switching from one platform to the next.

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:26.769
Only thing you have to do And actually, CD Baby

00:16:26.769 --> 00:16:31.009
gives you a better breakdown to where you can

00:16:31.009 --> 00:16:36.250
be able to pay, payouts, splits and everything

00:16:36.250 --> 00:16:39.190
as well. Tune Chord has not implemented that

00:16:39.190 --> 00:16:42.470
in yet. But CD Baby has implemented it in so

00:16:42.470 --> 00:16:44.730
if you had producers, if you had multiple writers,

00:16:45.210 --> 00:16:47.090
if you had all that, you can add everybody and

00:16:47.090 --> 00:16:50.480
their splits right there. And also, Also, you

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.940
can add their names and you know when the situation

00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:55.080
come so you don't have to do all of these little

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.500
You know the publishing the distribution and

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:59.200
all that stuff You can keep that out your hands

00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.200
and it can just honestly just be easily taken

00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.179
care of next thing to here But let me say this

00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:06.339
though. The reason being if you switch your music

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:08.460
from one to the next Okay, so only thing I had

00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:13.680
to do is Miles was already in sleep mode on tune

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.809
core. So when I go over here to CD, baby All

00:17:17.809 --> 00:17:21.170
I had to do was just upload the artwork, upload

00:17:21.170 --> 00:17:23.549
the audio. Now see, this is the simple thing

00:17:23.549 --> 00:17:25.710
of making sure that you have all your files still.

00:17:25.910 --> 00:17:27.890
If you still got all your files, you in the jackpot.

00:17:28.809 --> 00:17:31.430
And at the same time, it's not a hard thing to

00:17:31.430 --> 00:17:35.630
be able to access files. So if the case be, you're

00:17:35.630 --> 00:17:38.230
on TuneCore, you can download the files off of

00:17:38.230 --> 00:17:40.710
there and move them over to the next platform.

00:17:40.849 --> 00:17:44.039
Now the easy thing is, you're already in a database

00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.059
for iTunes, you're already in a database for

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:49.200
Spotify, you're already in YouTube database.

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:52.599
So all I had to do was upload the music, you

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.880
already got your numbers from TuneCore, you just

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.779
add your numbers. So basically what happens is

00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:01.940
it won't be like a mix up from saying, okay,

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.160
if you already had... 1 ,500 plays over here

00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.920
on via ThruTuneCore, which is already the value

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.059
that's there, all that'll be added unto you when

00:18:13.059 --> 00:18:15.400
you switch over to this new platform, long as

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.480
you keep your numbers. The numbers don't go anywhere.

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:19.880
They're right there on each song. So just switch

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.220
the numbers, add the number, and you can just

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:25.200
add your name. It'll put your name right back

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.220
on your songs on iTunes. So like when you go

00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:29.380
on there and you search your name, it won't create

00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:31.140
a new name or none of that. It'll just put it

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:33.250
right back on that same. I had to put it back

00:18:33.250 --> 00:18:37.170
under that same ID name. Now, lastly to that

00:18:37.170 --> 00:18:41.230
piece, it's not a hard thing to do. It's not

00:18:41.230 --> 00:18:43.609
a hard thing to do. Reason being is because each

00:18:43.609 --> 00:18:47.049
platform is, that's what the case of, you get

00:18:47.049 --> 00:18:50.509
a ID number on it. Each time you create a song

00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:53.750
and you upload it to a platform, it creates a

00:18:53.750 --> 00:18:56.569
number. That ISRC number, I think that's what

00:18:56.569 --> 00:18:59.250
it is. ISRC. You take that number, you keep that

00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:01.250
number with you, keep them numbers at all times.

00:19:01.529 --> 00:19:04.130
So if you ever, because if Tunecore goes up in

00:19:04.130 --> 00:19:06.430
smoke tomorrow, you make sure you want to have

00:19:06.430 --> 00:19:09.049
all those numbers in all of those files. Can

00:19:09.049 --> 00:19:11.950
I ask you a question for the viewers, too? Does

00:19:11.950 --> 00:19:15.970
your stats transfer over to your numbers? Nothing

00:19:15.970 --> 00:19:21.650
changes. Your song is not a, let me, let's say

00:19:21.650 --> 00:19:25.750
this. All of your songs in a database is not

00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:29.529
a song, it's a number. It's a number. So the

00:19:29.529 --> 00:19:33.289
name of that song is tied to a number So if you

00:19:33.289 --> 00:19:36.109
move platform, so even if just say if you got

00:19:36.109 --> 00:19:39.190
CDs if you was doing CD sales The same thing

00:19:39.190 --> 00:19:42.349
will be added to that CD So you have all these

00:19:42.349 --> 00:19:45.049
numbers and they're the barcode basically the

00:19:45.049 --> 00:19:48.410
barcode is added to that song So every time it's

00:19:48.410 --> 00:19:51.009
spit every time is, you know, it's scanned every

00:19:51.009 --> 00:19:53.470
time it's paid for is going to points towards

00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:56.579
your to your album sales, or to your song sales,

00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.740
or now it's distributed to plays. So if it be

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:02.539
the case, like I said, if you got a thousand

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:04.339
something plays over here, only thing it's just

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:06.200
gonna do is just translate over here, and it's

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.779
just gonna keep adding to that same play. You

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:10.619
know, it's not, if you, only way it can be a

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:12.980
new one is if you change the number. Don't change

00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:14.980
the number, you're fine. It's just gonna keep

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:17.579
picking up. and adding, and if it be the case

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:19.680
of, you're just doubling up on it in a sense,

00:20:19.819 --> 00:20:21.559
because if it's still up on the other platform,

00:20:21.619 --> 00:20:24.000
you're just doubling it. But it's not gonna allow

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:25.839
you to do it for so long, and it'll just flag

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.559
it to the case of finding which ones is the most

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:31.519
legitimate. But of course, like I said though,

00:20:31.710 --> 00:20:33.529
Long as you got that number off of that song,

00:20:33.549 --> 00:20:35.869
that ID number on that song, you're fine. You

00:20:35.869 --> 00:20:38.670
won't ever lose your play count. Some people

00:20:38.670 --> 00:20:41.589
think if I switch a platform, well, I lose my

00:20:41.589 --> 00:20:42.890
play count. No, you will not lose your play count.

00:20:42.890 --> 00:20:44.970
All over. That's what I was saying. That's not

00:20:44.970 --> 00:20:46.730
how it works. Yeah, that's not how it works.

00:20:47.109 --> 00:20:49.410
Yeah, that's not how it works. They don't do

00:20:49.410 --> 00:20:52.630
anything but just count it. Anyway, once it's

00:20:52.630 --> 00:20:55.289
on iTunes, iTunes is what they're getting their

00:20:55.289 --> 00:20:58.089
numbers from or Spotify or whomever, whatever

00:20:58.089 --> 00:21:00.269
the numbers are coming, whatever they're metering.

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.500
That's what it comes in from. It's not even on

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.599
them. They just, they're just pushing the music

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.539
out and just getting the money for you. That's

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:09.299
it. And making money, and making money for themselves

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:13.059
too. But, and I like over here at, you know,

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:16.119
with CD Baby too, they're only taking 10%. So

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:20.059
you get the whole 90 % to split amongst whomever

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:22.789
the case it may be. Cause I know some of them

00:21:22.789 --> 00:21:26.589
do not do 10 % some do 15 some do 20 some do

00:21:26.589 --> 00:21:28.690
25. There's a lot of different ones out here

00:21:28.690 --> 00:21:31.410
I've been I've been getting cheated just to get

00:21:31.410 --> 00:21:34.049
my material heard man. I'm gonna be real like

00:21:34.049 --> 00:21:40.029
yeah, it's a lot But my thing is It's it can't

00:21:40.029 --> 00:21:43.470
be just all about the money. It gotta be a love

00:21:43.470 --> 00:21:46.700
for it, too. You got a lot of money But when

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:48.859
you got other hustles too, you're not just worried

00:21:48.859 --> 00:21:51.299
about the money when it comes to music. When

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:55.559
you do music and you love it, you just really

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.019
want the music to be heard. That's how I am.

00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.420
I really don't want my material to be heard.

00:22:00.420 --> 00:22:04.660
I feel like it's great quality music and it can

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:07.319
put me in positions. Even if it ain't money,

00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:10.220
it might be shows, opportunities. You got to

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:12.920
look at it like that. It might get you a feature

00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.960
with some big artists. you know, get you another

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.059
fan, a consistent fan. Like, you know, you can't

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:23.140
just always look at the income. Like you said

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:25.779
a couple previous episodes, just stop thinking

00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:27.880
about the money, you know what I'm saying? And

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.680
think about, you know, just loving the craft,

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:34.339
loving what you do. The work, man. That part,

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:36.859
I think, I think that - Be a fan of your work.

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:40.660
Be a fan of you. You got to show that you're

00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:43.619
genuine. You know, but the biggest part, I think,

00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:46.859
in - You know in a in a history of this thing

00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:49.160
is people just try to look at this dollar sign

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:50.940
Like you're gonna get rich off of this and it's

00:22:50.940 --> 00:22:54.180
not really the case, right? It's really Honestly

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:57.500
to me. It's the pieces that that connect to it

00:22:57.500 --> 00:23:04.420
that are really more so value, you know It's

00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:07.519
the bio it's the what you call it it's the um

00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.019
body of work I'm saying the consistency, you

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:13.759
know and the quality Who do you know? Who do

00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:16.059
you know then? And who do you know that can make

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:20.859
it sound? Who or look or, you know, those people

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:23.700
really count in your arsenal. You know, stop,

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:26.640
stop wasting your time. And, you know, if you

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.440
can't get it right on your own by yourself, take

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.299
the time to really, you know, to check into it.

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:36.279
You know, it's so many different ways to put

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:39.700
some music out now in a cost effective way, you

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:41.410
know. Especially if you're just trying to do

00:23:41.410 --> 00:23:43.269
it on your own. Just remember the independent

00:23:43.269 --> 00:23:46.009
route You have to do it like the big dogs y 'all

00:23:46.009 --> 00:23:48.990
you have to do it like the big dogs the big dogs

00:23:48.990 --> 00:23:51.470
What they're going to do is put money behind

00:23:51.470 --> 00:23:54.670
it and that's the only way to get to scale yourself

00:23:54.670 --> 00:23:57.430
the correct way And you know if you want to go

00:23:57.430 --> 00:23:59.430
that far with your music you just remember the

00:23:59.430 --> 00:24:01.349
more money you put into it to build off It'll

00:24:01.349 --> 00:24:04.170
probably it may get but if it if you put a whole

00:24:04.170 --> 00:24:06.579
lot of money into it and it's not coming out

00:24:06.579 --> 00:24:09.220
in the nature of what you think it should, it

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:11.000
might be time to rethink some things. You know,

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:14.019
put some of that stuff out that you hold on to

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:16.519
that you might not even think that could blow,

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.119
you know, put some of that, put some of that

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.059
stuff out there, man. You know what I'm saying?

00:24:21.579 --> 00:24:24.440
Because right now, as you say, it's an open lane.

00:24:24.940 --> 00:24:27.339
It's an open lane and people looking for things,

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.859
you know, and what you put out, what you put

00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:34.759
out might just be it. Just be there sound that's

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.579
how music is like I don't like people so busy

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:42.759
looking for the sound but Be you and put your

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.599
material out be yourself and that might be the

00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.619
new sound Yeah, like I think when you try to

00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:52.640
figure out Investigate it It's not gonna work.

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.680
But most genuine from the heart from the soul

00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.650
type music that you feel you produce That'd be

00:25:00.650 --> 00:25:03.789
the music that blows up I feel and I just put

00:25:03.789 --> 00:25:06.789
a live album out who knows that that might blow

00:25:06.789 --> 00:25:09.569
I put a live album out and now that might go

00:25:09.569 --> 00:25:12.430
back check out all the other songs How good the

00:25:12.430 --> 00:25:16.450
live album sound you know like Y 'all gotta you

00:25:16.450 --> 00:25:19.230
know think like that man, you know never waste

00:25:19.230 --> 00:25:22.650
never waste any material that you do Especially

00:25:22.650 --> 00:25:27.930
if it's great quality out there man. So y 'all

00:25:27.930 --> 00:25:32.200
I'm giving a lot That's what this is about. Take

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:37.700
your time moving forward with the idea. When

00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:41.900
you get the idea in place, just run and just

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:45.299
take advantage of it as much as you can. If you

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:49.180
feel overworked, slow down. Slow down, take a

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:51.940
break, be patient, come back to it. Never let

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:54.680
this stuff get you to a point where you're getting

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:58.240
ugly. the ugly you are, the worse off a release

00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.500
could be. So just make sure you're taking advantage

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:05.359
of that. And if you need help, again, I ask this,

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:08.619
this is one of the most biggest parts that people

00:26:08.619 --> 00:26:11.440
have a problem with. Ask, just ask. Don't be

00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:13.279
scared to ask. You know, it's cool. I needed

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:16.279
your help this whole, I ain't ashamed. I needed

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:19.299
Dwayne's help. Dwayne helped me out a lot with

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:22.380
this release, man. Dwayne helped me, man, and

00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:25.039
I told him off camera, man. Thank you so much.

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.099
Say man you he's done a lot off camera man for

00:26:29.099 --> 00:26:31.660
me and this is what he talks about with help

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:35.019
when he says help everybody got that person that

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:38.299
they go to or you know, they can turn to that

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:42.039
person is gonna be there to help and That's what

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.160
I said in the beginning of 2026 get with people

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.240
that see your vision and want it just as bad

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.099
as you do for you Yeah, I like get with people

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:54.500
like that because this is rare to find It's rare

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:58.380
that people care about you more than you might

00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:01.279
care about you or what you got going on. You

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.039
know what I'm saying? So and that's what the

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.799
wine has done. Sometimes he's motivated me to

00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.339
even care more about a situation that I probably

00:27:08.339 --> 00:27:10.980
was slacking off on. I didn't see the bigger

00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:13.500
picture for it. The wine's been telling me for

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:16.480
like since last year, put this album out, this

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:18.759
live album. And I was slacking on it, you know,

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:22.680
but that goes to show it sticks in your mind

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.299
when You know, somebody has been consistent and

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:28.759
what they tell you is only work. You know what

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:31.079
I'm saying? So stick with people that, you know,

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:33.700
got the formula for you. You know what I'm saying?

00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:36.059
And want the best for you. And that's the big

00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:38.859
part right there. Like that's the part that takes

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:41.839
so much off of your plate. Like it's so don't

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.400
don't put it on your plate if you don't have

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:46.920
to. That one thing can just be simply just here

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:50.579
you go. move on to the next part of it, y 'all,

00:27:50.660 --> 00:27:54.299
because the parts where it can get crazy, you

00:27:54.299 --> 00:27:56.500
might just need the help there. So don't think

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:58.480
like it's just always gonna be just for you.

00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.299
I mean, easy, just for you. I mean, even when

00:28:01.299 --> 00:28:04.019
I went to school, schools, all of these tasks

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:06.680
and these problems and things that's been happening,

00:28:07.180 --> 00:28:10.880
they really helped me with this part. The parts

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:12.400
that we've been having to deal with for the past

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.319
week, I mean, it really put me in a driver's

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.089
seat to... to really push it and really make

00:28:19.089 --> 00:28:21.269
sure that things are, like, really, you know,

00:28:21.670 --> 00:28:23.450
fine -tuned before I put things out. So now...

00:28:23.450 --> 00:28:25.009
And I told you, a lot of producers would have

00:28:25.009 --> 00:28:27.289
quit. A lot of producers in that situation would

00:28:27.289 --> 00:28:29.650
have quit. And that's why I think it's important

00:28:29.650 --> 00:28:33.990
for people like you to, like, for people to understand

00:28:33.990 --> 00:28:36.829
what they don't see, understand the parts, man,

00:28:36.930 --> 00:28:40.250
because... Bruh, it was hell, bro. Trying to

00:28:40.250 --> 00:28:42.750
get this out there. It was hell, bro. It is.

00:28:43.670 --> 00:28:46.849
It was. And notice too, y 'all, last thing. Notice

00:28:46.849 --> 00:28:49.750
too. And we gonna come back and talk about this

00:28:49.750 --> 00:28:51.329
some more, too. We was talking about production

00:28:51.329 --> 00:28:53.849
and things of that nature. I'm gonna bring that

00:28:53.849 --> 00:28:55.849
up again, because that's a topic that needs to

00:28:55.849 --> 00:28:58.309
be talked about. And this will be a podcast.

00:28:58.750 --> 00:29:00.650
I'm not gonna hold this one as nothing. I'm gonna

00:29:00.650 --> 00:29:04.369
make this one a real podcast. So for those that...

00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:08.039
realistically want to get into this situation

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.519
again with music, find you somebody to help y

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.240
'all in this new age moving forward, y 'all.

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:15.980
Get y 'all, get with somebody that know what

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:18.720
they're doing to save yourself some time and

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.220
some energy. There is a big pool of people trying

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:25.180
to release music, but the hardest part is making

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:27.079
sure that you're putting out the right quality

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:31.059
and the right timing. So again, find some help.

00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:34.299
If you need help. Q, you got one thing you need

00:29:34.299 --> 00:29:36.859
to say before we shut this down? Oh, no, man.

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:39.539
