refreshing talk
My guy! Thank you fr fr
i think there is no more humble and hard working person as mac in this industry, these conversations are needed more regularly between producers 💯
I try my best! Thanks Kev let’s stay locked in 🫡🐐
been in a similar cycle fr, great video bro
Glad it could resonate brotha
yo ur shit is dope man
I needed to see this fr fr. We lose touch of ourself when we're in the race and numbers and everything counts
Big facts bro that is the real problem
💯
So relatable man 💙 I be overthinking what I should post with my beats for the music scene of Aus, like what is gonna get me the most views, how can I get more sales on this beat, what can I do to entertain Aus hip Hop Fans, etc… All for that gratification.
But I feel like this video was made for me to watch. Live life a lil slow, cuz ain’t a race, and there’s still time to make a change within ourselves 😤
Everyday step by step we can get better by the end of the year watch how much progress you can make 🫡💯
Totally agree, even though earning money is how we all begin to explore becoming content creators on CZcams, what they didn't tell us is that focusing on the content is that helps us hold out and build an empire in the long run. Rooting for ya bro, and wait, are you from Australia also 🦘?
Factual man, Only way to stay sane is to just put your blinders up and focus on what you got going on
We on that all year 🫡🙏💯
Man i’m 24 and i’ve been diagnosed with agoraphobia for about 2,5 years now, and i’ve been wanting to go back to my life before being diagnosed so many times, but u can’t. So Mac, just live life man, upload what u want, and how u want. Whatever u do, make sure to not overthink and jus be at peace🙏🏽 much love
Wow brotha I’m wishing you the best. Thanks for this insight bro I needed it, thanks brotha 🙏💯
🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏾💯
its always the most vulnerable videos that resonate so much with others, even though it wont get the most views
Fr tho fam thanks for watching
Ayo the ultimate thing I learned is that the best way to live a better life is to do self reflection. Take time to slow down for a few days and reflect. Go outside, connect with nature, the roots of everything where we all came from. You will cleanse your mind cause nature got a healing effect for our body and minds. Take a step back when you notice you're letting your ego get the best of you and affect the way you move and act, maybe you even ruin an opportunity or a connection cause you let your ego get in the way. Be critical about yourself but don't beat yourself up. That's what helped me find my peace over the last 3-4 years, I'm almost 22 now and when I was around 18-19 I was lacking the self awareness. I would engage in useless arguments to defend my ego and my points when in reality it didn't fucking matter. It didn't change anything or improve anything in my life, it was just a waste of time. Time is not wasted when you enjoy yourself, doesn't matter what the fuck you do. Live life and follow your passions

I feel this is a new phenomena for cureent generations. Producers and and artists never had to make so much music. It was more about the art than the amount. I think this is why individualism has lost its way a bit and the reason a lot of musicians get depressed
Mannn we going back to the old days
The mind and spirit be needing a HARD reset🧘🏽♂️& everything is only right when its at ur pace ✌🏽
🧘💯
No one is perfect fr we’re all just creatives. It’s not easy to come up with something natural and you start to overthink when things don’t flow the way they usually do. Consistency is all that matters!!
Needed this bro thanks fr fr 🫡💯
I feel the same way bro, we gotta break those habits especially procrastination and replace them with habits that serve us and push us forward, and don’t trip your only 18 and you are very aware of yourself and short comings at 18, bro u ahead, appreciate where you at and keep growing, u got this bro, 🔥Content 💯💪🏾
Bless fam needed that 🫡🔥
i rly appreciate you talking bout the mental side of producing, i feel like the human is lost in the algorithm race and it results in people putting unrealistic expectations on themselves which leads to them doing nothing type shit
Big Fax bro, we just gotta reset what we put value into.
Dope video bro. Do what you wanna do on your terms! I posted a beat every day for a year straight, I felt the same way. Don't let it distract from what you started making music for. Can't wait to see what you come up with moving forward!
Preciate you 7K needed to hear that from you let’s keep it pushing 🫡💯
That's some crazy consistency... Not surprised that you need a break after that
I Appreciate all you homies out there grinding, go at your own pace man artists need to be human too!!!
🙏🙏🙏
@@macshooter49 much love brotha your work ethic is phenomenal 👆
Mac i look at your life and i want to create somethi8g similar for myself. not in a way where i dont like my life, im grateful for every moment. but your work ethic inspires me and every time i see u post its a reminder to myself to keep practicing and working hard at music. dont worry about being perfect man just try your hardest
Thanks fr Jace I neeed to hear that today fr fr 🙏💯
brooooo that video... i felt in the bottom of my heart!! Can relate some much man!! Great Content, great words!!
Preciate u bro for all the support fr!!! 🙏💯
very important message for many people, many feel the same way, thank u for your honesty and raising the issue
Glad you enjoyed it brother let’s take it up this year
God be working in funny ways, when you stop caring about the numbers and do it because you enjoy it, your content naturally gets better and the right people you WANT seeing your content will come
Shoutout to God! 🫡💯 bless up bro been feeling like this recently
Stay at yo own pace its a marathon not a race..even tho u feel u could do better u still miles ahead of other people who tryna do what u already done..god bless u man u inspired me n im 34 ..god bless u man u go be straight
.. jus keep goin
Blessings bro! Needed to hear this fr fr 🫡💯
Love this message. We all need reminders like this every once in a while.
🙏💯
I have been producing music for around 6 years, and grinding to try to "make it" for like 3, and I have come to the same conclusion. It got unhealthy and my life needed more balance, so I'm enjoying it while still working. I don't think the enjoyment in my life involves as much of "Making it big" than Working towards goals and improving in general.
Well said! This is so facts right here
PREACH!!🔥🔥
🙏
Not even finished the whole video but thanks for this breath of fresh air. I really resonate with that feeling of being in a race with everyone else and losing focus and enjoyment of the process like it really should be. Thanks again for your honesty and inspiration, keep going 💪💪
Thanks man let’s take it up this year fr fr
Great video, from my own experience, running in the forest without music or any noise helps to overcome this mindset. Just you, your own thoughts, and nature. I do this once a week, and it keeps me motivated for the rest of the week.
Thanks for that! Definitely finna do that shit
I don’t comment often, but you got heart man. Keep glowing.
I appreciate that!!!
He really taught a whole lesson in one take
Let’s get it 🫡
super fire to see this kinda insight from someone also my age, so much of what u said was relatable
Blessings YBH I’ve been seeing you for years, you truly have a passion for this!
KEEP PUTTING IN THAT WORK BOSSMAN
Blessing brotha 🫡🙏
3 minutes in already enjoying this mac. this some real life shit some might not get it but trust me its producers out here who goin thru this and KNOW this is facts💯
Thanks man glad you’re here to support the journey much love! 🙏🔥💯
We know the vibes! Just focus on ya core audience. We got you! Everyones timing is dif.
Thanks Hush! Big up fr 🫡💯
@@macshooter49 No. Thank you! Young man. You’ve taught me a lot
been focusing on myself alot more this year too, definitely more rewarding overall! I recommend to everybody reading "Atomic Habits" by James Clear if you haven´t already. As Mac said in the video, we all know what we gotta do and what we gotta improve, and this book really helps putting it all into a clear perspective. Small steps, consistency, and get better day by day. Don´t be too hard on yourself, but find a balance that suits YOU regardless of what everyone else is doing and stick to it
Such a good read
I recently had these thoughts bro, you growing keep moving and having fun with it
Thanks brotha let’s go up 🫡💯
That was a pleasure to watch from begginning to end bro...
I think it's really helpful for everybody not just for producers only 🙏🏻
You really need to focus on yourself more...
Thanks man fr we gotta lock in it’s time 🫡💯
always thought your loops were hard asf. music the most important part in the long run anyways keep it up🌟💖
Thank you! Will do! Let’s rock out this year
I was just thinking about this the other day too. Im kinda new to this beatmaking stuff but i was already pressuring myself u gotta make money off this, u gotta do better and stuff like that, comparing myself to bigger prods who made thousands of dollar at this point in their careers. Then I reminded myself my goal with music is not even selling beats and stuff why am I forcing this shit into my head? I even paid for promoting my beats on beatstars(spent like 150 bucks 0 sales), but dont know even why. We like to overthink and stress over things instead of just saying fuck it. And its good to hear that a guy who we can look up to shares his honest thoughts on this topic with no bs. Great vid man
Thanks man this message inspired me even more, glad we can resonate with each other let’s keep it going but without all this overthinking we gotta just flow and keep shit pushing 🫡💯
@@macshooter49 🙏🙏
I randomly stumbled on this while I was working on my project and I really resonate w this.. it helped me bro
Glad it helped brotha
💪🏽stay strong brother I believe in you matter what🖤🤝🏽
Thank you man!!! 🙏🔥
aye bro, i see you as motivation and creativity source, tbh when i first heard sounds from your drum kit promo video, i was shocked asf.
ngl you are putting crazy things out here, all of you is insane.
when i saw you got placed with quavo n future i was like "he deserves it"
personally iam going thru a phase where i cant focus whether i shoukd choose between music or job.
if i choose music, i know its not gonn be easy to make music like you and steven, you both are rly geek into this music thing. I wanna be like you tbh, but i lack in consistenancy and focus + dedication.
earlier when i had time to learn fundamentals and learn actual music, i wasted it all, and now iam stuck in a stupid ass state.
keep goin on bro, post whatever you want, i love your videos
My guy I appreciate that message. However bro, it’s never too late to pursue whatever you want to pursue. The fact that you know what your barriers are within yourself is 10 steps ahead of a lot of people. Figure out a clear direction for yourself and put work in step by step daily. And yes becoming a successful musician will not be easy but so is not taking the leap of faith into your goals with all you got. Keep studying and stay self driven, I wish you the best I will keep putting out inspiration for people like you to grow off of 🫡🔥
If you love it, stress will make you hate it. Keep doing your thing bro

so mature for such a young man, keep it up brother.
Thanks man
Im turning 28 this year I have just been thinking about this the last few days my guy don't kick yourself, you got here faster than a lot of people man, take care of your mind young buck, I thought you were a lot older so your definitely on the right path brother
Thanks brotha fr means a lot 🫡💯
This why we fw mac 🔥🔥
Thanks Lee fr fr!!
Man thank you for that inspirational speech right there!! Your message(s) very much coincide with the thoughts of the german sociologist Hartmut Rosa. I can highly recommend his books 'The Uncontrollability of the World' as well as 'Resonance: A Sociology of Our Relationship to the World'.
Yoo bro definitely boutta look into these 🫡🔥
Forget the outcome ** make shit and don't expect anything that's REAL .... 🍻

Brother, all this keeps happening at this age but never do anything wrong we are always with you all the time don't worry and This happens with us also.. This is the nature of us humans but i take time if I pray then everything becomes fine. ❤❤🩹😊

Honesty. Others are lost and looking for leader.

Thanks for the wisdom bro, your advice won’t be in vain 🫡
Great talk brother ❤ Thank you for your honesty
I appreciate that
Somebody needed to say this for sure. I love non edited talks, you can literally listen to somebody smart and it's natural as hell, this human feeling let me say. I actually had same peroid and I think we just gotta stay true to ourselfs + provide value for audience (as always but this time don't put views as a most important metric or whatever). I think it's just another step, another level so let it be. Great video man, let's keep it up!
Thanks EVZ keep inspiring 🫡💯

Problem with music production in 2024 sounds like solutions to life period. This year I've been on a bunch of livestreams just chatting and we're all coming to the quick conclusion that we need a break to breathe and recharge and I think the pandemic put a battery in our backs for a while but burnout is real and it's catching all of us. I'm 37 years old and this is the first time in 3 years I said I think I'm good with the social media and music tiktoks and CZcams uploads at least for free, I've just been making music and picking out what makes sense for an album and putting it out period. I got tired of the 130% I was putting in and people not even sniffing at the work so I had to reevaluate what I was doing and why I'm still doing it this way and I realized that I was just done. It happens when it's just a bunch of emojis and no interactions period, at the end of the day I'm a producer and if it can't be used by rappers then I've gotta pivot back to music for the love for a minute because I will never not love music and I might get lucky to have y'all follow and care but I'm definitely about to do me for the rest of the year, next year I'll try entertaining the world again
That’s a good mindset to have brotha, I wish you luck.
Dope content fam, welcome back
God bless!
Man true shit right there
keep it up man youre doing better than you maybe think
Thanks bro means a lot fr 🫡
I'm a need watcher bro and i just want to say i need more of this it helps 🙏
More on the way fam
Helped me for sure 🤝🏿💐 keep doing you bro don’t forget it…

Bro I love your remake videos, like that Drake one you did, found the explanation of the techniques really helpful. Also love your collab vlogs, we don't have that sort of culture here in Australia, especially in the Christian Hip Hop genre. Your community and followers are the people most like you so don't worry about other people's audience man...
Re content creation, I used to do kpop reaction videos and also hit a drought, plus copyright issues meant I couldn't monetize. took 2 years to rethink what I really wanted to do about this channel, and a 2 year detour at chef school which was intensive, meant I didn't have the headspace to create content. But all these time had just allowed me to think about the life I really wanted to live and then make content around it. Back after September with more structure and fun plans 😊 take it easy bro, think about what kind of life you wanna live and wrap music around that.
Love your approach, whatever you put effort into will grow 👊🏻 keep it up bro, you're not only your videos, your sounds and Wavescrate are the #1 recommended for hip hop music when I speak to other producers, your impact is more far reaching than you might realise.
Busyworksbeats and OhGoshLeotus both do collabs and music releases with their audiences, perhaps this is another way to remove artist block. Just giving you ideas bro ❤

Realest video you posted MAC 💥💥
💯
Aye Mac thanks for this vid, I am 23 years old but truly feel relieved when you do the real talk man. I also struggle with these things sometimes. It’s good to hear and see that people I look up to and are even younger struggle with the same things like I do but deal with it earlier. Thats something most people don’t speak about but the way you do it at least I can resonate very good with it in a motivational way. So keep going, and also keep testing new styles of vids on CZcams, why not? Keep doing what u love man. Something I do more sincere than ever since I lost a good friend 1 year ago
If you come to Germany feel free to dm me spontaneous, I am going to study Sound and Music production near Frankfurt am Main soon at a public College, this is my dream, and in Germany it don’t cost you anything at a public College if u are „good Enough“.
I hope the apply test gonna be good it’s like in 2 weeks. 🙏🏼
So if things work out like I want to i am on the campus for the next 3 years, we could go to a good Recording Studio for free there, start a session for fun, go eat some good food, hang out at random cool spots, check other big cities out etc.. I know it’s gonna be so random but I am fr fr broski. I know some cool spots. U should feel very welcomed here in Germany. Until then I will also have more content uploaded I want to shoot pictures beside Music.. I work on full time rn but paid all debts back bc of bad life decisions, but very soon it’s gonna be all for the dream, everyday man. Positive People like u helping me to become a better person. we gonna see us anyways up there bro 🤞🏼keep your Balance ⚖️
Great message man! Sorry for your loss as well I’m glad you’re still striving towards a better future for yourself. I definitely wanna do a Germany producer camp where we cook up and hang, goals goals goals we’ll get there taking one step at a time, thanks for all the support bro! Will see yall very soon 🫡💯
