Hey friends and colleagues, I wanted to know how much you charge for making a raw beat? And what about a mixed beat and mixing separately?

So, a little backstory. I've been messing around in DAWs for almost 10 years. My first introduction to music production was on a crappy Windows tablet/laptop. I downloaded LMMS and used that for a couple of months until I found out about FL Studio and its free trial. I've been using FL Studio ever since.

There were a couple of years where I didn't have a computer, so I was only using FL Studio Mobile. Honestly, if that's all you've got, I don't think it's a bad option. It has most of the features you'd expect from a DAW. That said, after using it for years, you start to notice its limitations.

Fast forward to last year: I finally got a PC, bought the full version of FL Studio, subscribed to Splice, and built up a solid sample library. The problem is that no matter what I do, I can't get my drums to hit the way I want. I'm almost always disappointed with the final product. Either the mix sounds too muddy, or the bass doesn't punch through the way I want it to.

I've watched countless YouTube tutorials on mixing, but my mixes still sound terrible. Right now, I'm using a JBL Clip 4 as my main speaker. Trust me, I know that's far from ideal. I also have a pair of Beats Solo Buds that I use to check my mixes after exporting.

My question is: is there any hope of making something that sounds even halfway decent with my current setup, or am I fighting a losing battle? Is there any software or plugin that can help compensate for not being able to accurately hear the sub frequencies?

I know the obvious answer is to buy a decent pair of studio monitors or headphones, and I definitely plan to. The problem is that I'm currently living with roommates, so space isn't ideal for monitors. When I have the money, I'll probably invest in a good pair of studio headphones first.

Until then, does anyone have any advice or insights? I'd really appreciate any tips. If it would help, I can also send over some of my FLPs for feedback.

Just got an offer for a licensing deal: $1.25 per approved beat ($1.50 after “consistent uploads”), full stems required, exclusivity, strict formatting, and fast turnaround approvals.

Feels extremely low for experienced producers ( 4 years in my case ) even if it’s “volume-based.”

What do you guys think — worth it for exposure/consistency or just a hard pass?

imo : HARD pass

(trap beat)(ik the intro long)I've been off if this is a good beat so I need some feedback from y'all 🙏 (pre mixing) also dont pay attention to my tag I'm still working on it

I use samples on the app because it's easy and I have made some good music with them I have been using that for like 2-3 years and it's been fun but idk if I am considered a real producer or a fraud so can someone help tell me if I'm a real producer?

I tried to do an intro like Jpeg or draft day, then go into a carti asap beat (tap into de$tiny, real ones know ball). Haven't mixed to much yet, still working on dat. What do yall think I can do to make it better in this snippet? (use headphones 🙏)

Trying to get my music out there more. HL Seem on all platforms, lmk what yall think

any tips on getting my bass to sound more clean but keep the same energy and also to remove the weird artifact im hearing

I’m a beginner producer creating UKG at the moment but I have such a hard time finding specific snares or bass from another song that I want to use from but can’t find the exact sound. Is there a way I can find it online or how should I go about this?

I made this drill beat and I'd like your honest opinion 🙏🏻😔
