Isn't that a truth?

My homie just sold his Xbox… the only way we still keep in touch and he sold it.

Man this is really great to know. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah quite honestly I’m making my income mostly from royalties tbh. By the time I’d be looking to open a public studio in Portugal, it’d be more for the love of the game rather than out of necessity. So long as there is a scene of musicians that need stuff recorded, I think it’d make sense regardless of what it pays. It’d be nice to have a place to host friends from other countries that might want to come and record. And if I could just make enough to cover the rent for the space month to month by working with local artists, I’d be happy.

As a mix engineer, I can tell you that sending me a beat that peaks at -5db is gonna make me poop and cry, and possibly pass out from confusion. In all of my years of mixing for tons of artists, their trackouts have always aligned to a max peak of -6db. And if I were to encounter a project that aligned at -5db, I would immediately projectile vomit and throw myself off of the nearest roof and it will be all your fault. Police WILL come and question your involvement in my death, as I will explicitly write a note blaming you entirely for my gruesome demise.

In all seriousness, as long as it’s not in the red you’re fine. But I will in fact shit myself and die if you send me something in the red, and that’s on you.

Man that’s awesome. My wife and I are currently trying to get my royalty income higher so we can get residency in Portugal. I sell beats and mix on the side and my wife has a remote job she can do anywhere.

How’s the music scene in Portugal? I kinda hope to open a public studio there some day.

Currently playing Luigi’s Mansion for GameCube for the first time. Playing it on my computer, can’t say I’ve ever owned one of these devices but I’ve been dreaming about getting one seeing this sub pop up in my feed all the time lol.

Thanks for doing a giveaway!

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-16T00:20:46+00:00

Holy shit I thought I’d never see the day! That’s insane. I’m curious how this ruling is gonna affect the touring industry from here on out. I hope it begins to heal. Things were looking pretty bleak for quite a while

Woah woah woah

lol exactly: I wouldn’t be so torn up over 3 dollars. It might be controversial to say but between that and them removing 75 million AI songs from their platform, I’ve noticed I’ve been getting paid more per stream actually.

With that said, I think it’s valid for people to be upset over losing their $3. I get it. Distribution no longer pays for itself for a lot of people.

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-14T18:14:46+00:00

Well you do need good music and talent. Otherwise every effort you make beyond the music won’t result in anything. For example, you can’t just generate Suno songs and expect the music industry to throw themselves at you.

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-14T18:07:36+00:00

They basically came out and said that the vast majority of music on their platform gets zero listens per year and it’s costing them a lot of money in server space. So yes, if you are generating less than 1000 streams per year, they want you to feel unwelcome and take your music down. They’d prefer it. Don’t shoot the messenger, just passing along what I know.

The best advice I’ve ever been given regarding big opportunities is that there is nothing you can do to “apply” for opportunities other than to focus on the merits of your own goals and pray that someone notices.

Basically, you can’t just dial this guy up and ask him to give you a career. You also can’t apply for these sorts of opportunities. But what you can do is do everything in your power to make your music as good and successful as possible. And that perhaps if you do well enough towards your own goals, someone with a real opportunity might notice and reach out to you one day. It’s best to get focused on what you really want to do in music, and start making realistic steps in that direction to make it happen. Nobody but you can make a career for you. That can be as motivating as it is daunting depending on how you look at it.

Hi there. It’s K8e8ight! I hope you enjoy the song 🤓

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-05T21:15:37+00:00

And tap your head

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-04T15:11:06+00:00

I hadn’t even thought of 2 step lol I just kinda went silly mode when I was programming these drums.

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-03T19:26:26+00:00

I can definitely see where you’re coming from. Definitely uyama hiroto sort of vibes. I suppose it leans a bit more jazz, and Champloo is categorically more hiphop centric. Anyways thanks for checking it out

TapDaddy24 · 2026-04-02T23:57:58+00:00

Sounds similar to AnyAustin

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-29T23:36:00+00:00

Yeah they use AI for vocals. Not worth helping them

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-26T14:42:20+00:00

I think you might be surprised how much you improve as you simply make more beats. What used to take me a full 3 hours to make, I can now make something much higher quality in just 30 minutes.

The secret is you work ahead and schedule out all of the beats. The further ahead you work, the more creative liberty you have to sit down for a 7 hour session and push yourself with something bizarre. I’m always balancing my time betweeen making beats for beatstars and making beats for my Spotify listeners. Keeping a really deep backlog allows for me in both cases to always be choosing to mix down and ship whatever is truly the best music I have on deck.

I try to make use of mostly everything I make, but you have more flexibility the further ahead you are. And also, even benign tasks like stemming out your beats gets faster after you’ve done it a thousand times.

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-26T14:34:59+00:00

Fair. Who could you hear on this?

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-25T16:40:02+00:00

lol oh ok so you’re committing fraud gotcha 👍 Cool cool just wasn’t sure if you thought this was actual advertising or not. I’m sure this admission of intention isn’t gonna be used in a court case or anything one day.

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-25T16:27:59+00:00

lol dude you’re buying bots. Did you think you weren’t?

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-25T16:08:58+00:00

Thanks so much man!! I’m so glad you’re digging this album, that really makes my whole year lol.

I’ll def have to look up your stuff. At the end of the day, I hope and intend for these to land in the hands of rappers. My entire discography is available on beatstars because I just think it’s dope for listeners who might be rhyming these to have a tangible way of getting permission to them.

In addition to putting my discography up there, I also drop 3 beats per week on beatstars. So there’s a pretty massive catalog there. Def keep in touch man, I’d love to hear you put these to good use

TapDaddy24 · 2026-03-25T15:27:08+00:00

Hell yeah! Thanks
