Question of the day:
How do we change our inner thoughts about ourselves and our situation? What's the narrative you carry around everyday subconsciously.
A long time ago Queres and I had a conversation when he first awakened
about your thoughts controlling your reality. And I didn't get it initially And we didnt even talk about it until long after that. But I took that with me after that and realized like my internal thought process was negative. Like in any situation in my life down to the smallest decision or what's going happen at work that day. I would think of the worst possible outcome for it. So I said, hey I have to change that. For a year to 2 years straight. I didn't listen to music. I worked out every morning, I listened to affirmations and meditated after.
So now that plays in my subconscious, I can still hear them now. And I have not listened to them in years. You are beautiful, you are strong, you are happy, healthy wealthy, you are worthy. I help others, I help myself, wealth flows to me effortlessly. That's my internal now. And I look back on that time and my life changed completely.
The things you pray or meditate for in life are trying to come to you. But if you are not in the vibration to receive it. You are blocking it from coming to you.
You have an abundant mindset, you attract abundance, you have a negative mind set, you attract negativity.
Thats what worked for me. Now for some people, you may need to trace back through life and see where that mindset came from and heal it.

On That Note with Queres:
What's the difference between a producer and a beat maker?
What are the steps in making a song?
1. Writing: Come up with a melody, hook, or concept .
2. The arrangement: organize the song. Determine if you're going to have an intro, bridge, how many times the hook will repeat etc.
3. Vocals : Make sure you have the proper equipment and space to record your vocals. The microphone is important, but what is equally important is the space your recording in. If you can't afford foam pad or acoustic panels.... Thick blankets in the closet will suffice when you're starting out.
4. Mixing: Before mixing, it's important to get rough levels and panning out of the way. If it's in your head, possibly add some effects to give the mixer a good idea of what you are going for sonically. Important: If you are going to mix the album yourself, it's important that you have a quality monitoring environment, as well as quality monitors (speakers).
5. Mastering is the final step of audio post-production. The purpose of mastering is to balance sonic elements of a stereo mix and optimize playback across all systems and media formats. ... Mastering also ensures uniformity and consistency of sound between multiple tracks on an album. With so many mastering tools available, getting a decent master at home is now possible. There are many great metering tools, limiters etc.
Beat maker:
Someone who had an ear for music, knows how to place chord progressions, drum patterns and various instruments together to form the foundation or skeleton of a song.
Note: If that's where you stop at in the song making process then they would be considered a beat maker. For some reason, the title beat maker is look down on as if its not an integral part in the setting meaning process. I'd dare say that a great beat maker makes a producer's job a littl
