One thing I constantly find in successful people is their willingness to adapt, and to take opportunities as they come (even if those opportunities might not make sense at first).

For whatever reason, life throws opportunities at us that might not look all that special, but can actually be pretty life-changing, especially in the music industry.

Have you ever done something that seemed small at first, but ended up shaping your future in a dramatic way?

Do you ever wonder how some producers and engineers you've never heard of *magically* end up getting the chance to work with big names like Jay-Z, Just Blaze or Timbaland❓

I recently talked with an iconic mixing engineer, Irko, about ideal mixing practices for producers who are making beats for artists.

He's got some serious game for producers at any level. 💯

After mixing for artists like Jay-Z, Pitbull, Mac Miller, and tons more, here are some of the gems he shared on the newest episode of the Midi Money Podcast 👇

Automation is 🔑 key to optimizing your most valuable asset: time!

The one thing you can never get back, is time. As producers we have to do a ton of tasks and activities that although small and simple, are numerous and time consuming.

By creating systems, delegating, and automating these tasks, you free up more of your time to handle bigger tasks and duties...because a business without automation is not scalable.

Trust me, you're not going to want to miss out on this one!

In this podcast episode me and AD got together to talk about the concept of a "product launch" and how we've been applying it to selling beats. By following a very specific strategy, we were able to do over $10k of beat sales in just 10 minutes and over $170k of sales over a 2 week period!

Should you chase beat placements as a music producer in 2021? 🤔

Symbolyc 1: He is a 3x Grammy-winning producer who worked with the likes of Kanye, Beyonce, Madonna...and what's crazy is that his newest song with Eminem dropped the night before we recorded this episode 🥂!

We cover a wide variety of topics in his musical journey including:

- How he got connected with Kanye and their studio experience in Hawaii

- At what point should you get a manager

- How you need to treat music like a job

Our whole conversation was full of gems but one major takeaway is that S1 credits his success to his natural affinity for trial and error.
