Which Music Producers Earn More Money?

The goals of this video are to help music producers open their minds to new opportunities, ensure they are using their talents in the right market, and learn the advantages and disadvantages of different genres. We break down the business models for (4) different types of producers... Producer-engineers, Producer-songwriters, beat makers, and electronic music producers. I discuss the pros and cons, rate them, and we determine which type of music producers earn more money.

I consider myself a beat maker but I do have skills with mixing. I don't lease beats and never really liked that model. I focus on making music for sync licensing. It has opened up my skills. I only use to make hip hop/rnb. Now since I get briefs for all types of music I can make Electronic, Pop, Orchestral, Atmospheric etc. It's funny because my Atmospheric music makes me more money overall because the songs usually play longer.

I’m a producer-songwriter I think because I make custom songs and that has been my main bag. Starting to produce for other artists (and work on my own Lofi artist project). Finding it hard to decide what to focus on since I’m just starting so for me it’s been a time management learning curve. Love this video!! Isn’t talked about enough.

I'm a production studio owner. I just opened a new studio about 4 months ago here in Rio de Janeiro. That presents issues because my ideal client is in the US. I owned a studio in Orlando for some years and recorded and produced for a number of artists there. So, I have engineering, song-writing and am releasing my own music as well in the hip-hop world. Marketing in general and especially internet marketing is my achilles heel, but I will learn it as I go I guess and add that to my knowledgebase.

Everyone makes “beats”, so I’ve been focusing on cinematic, orchestral, and high level instrumental music. High barrier of entry makes the competition less numerous.

I have been an EDM producer and I got some attention, tracks played on well know radioshows and some decent streams but I almost never made money with it! Then I decided to become producer-songwriter so I can expand my creativity and I started to have some clients. I would recommend every producer to have some producer-songwriter skills so they can get better technically!

I have found my best paying artists are solo females who can write songs that may need some polish, they often play an instrument, they can sing quite well. They are doing pop music with a view to independent release. What I do for them is arrangements, write vocal harmonies, string sections and all the other instruments. Sometimes they want session players to get name players into the project, and lets face it, a professional keyboards player, or guitarist $hi+$ all over my best effort. The boyfriend/husband/father pays for it, and pays generously.
I don't just sell them a dream. I let them know there are 100, 000 songs released every day and give them some suggestions on how they can promote their material. This advice is NEVER taken.

THIS CHANNEL IS PRODUCER UNIVERSITY 👍🏾🔊… KEEP THE KNOWLEDGE COMING

[marcricos]

As a full-time producer-songwritter-engineer, I completely agree with this video.
My short insight is: the better you really are at doing A LOT of different things, being able to produce different genres, playing different instruments, etc, the closer you’ll be to make it in this business, because basically you’ll be fit to suit more artists than if you just do one thing, and therefore be more valuable.

[aidanflynncarey]

Awesome info! I am definitely the producer-songwriter, classically trained drummer but love many genres.

[exileisland]

In over a decade you're the first person I've found talking about this. People always say "if your focusing on money you'll never make it." Everythings about money. It matters.

[la.tropic]

what type of producer should i call my self if i make all the things. beat, recording, mixing and mastering etc. ?

[panacearecords]

Good stuff Dan, I can confirm that being a multi genre songwriter producer has done me well. By the way the sliding Dan head scale is awesome

[givejonnythelight]

How to start best way a beatstars business cause you said it has to do with marketing skills do they put adds out

[TheUnrider]

Well I dont agree with the edm producer. You can play in clubs and bars very early to get some fans and income. But to get the good income yes, it takes a while. Also many recording engineers say it is really not that fun to record bands, especially when youre starting out and record the unprofessional ones.
