I use All2MP3

I am a vocalist, and even with less than 1000 followers on soundcloud, I get about 2-3 requests per week to do vocals for a producer. It might not sound like many, but doing vocals for one track can take anywhere from 5-15 hours, depending on if they ask me to write and the number of revisions. Even if I really like the track, I have to turn down unpaid collab requests because I barely have time to get my own stuff done. If the producer offers to pay, I'm more likely to agree because I can use the money to fund my own pursuits, but they almost never do. So my advice, when sending requests to vocalists, include a question about what their budget is. Also, be detailed about what you want in the track and include the instrumental. If they have all the info upfront, they can gage whether they'd be a right fit for the job right away and respond accordingly.

There's also a website called vocalizr that connects producers to vocalists and vice versa. It's a great way to make money too if you find a vocalist looking for someone to produce their track.

It's just amazing. I try to break down the first drop into pieces but I can't. Such an incredible sound.

Most of my negative thoughts come when I compare myself to other artists. It's frustrating making music and then listening to others' that sounds 10x better. I try to remember that each song I create will have its own small success, released or unreleased, because I have undoubtedly learned some things in the process. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be masters so soon, but the only thing that will get us there is experience, and even if the product of some of that experience is shit, it's still experience.

You can find some really good drum samples in the Trisamples and Boi1da packs, all of which are free to download. I use them in nearly every song.

Thank you, really appreciate it!

Hey there, I'm working on a mix for a cover I'm making of Travis Scott and The Weeknd's "Wonderful." I'm kind of new to mixing but have spent about 10 hours on it and it's sounding close to how I hoped it would. It'd be great if someone could take a listen and tell me if they hear any issues or have any advice for improving the mix, especially with my vocals, which I especially had some trouble with. Thanks so much.
