Cool content. Keep it up! <3

What do you use to sample your drums and other loops ? :)

Good video! I’ve found that focusing on self-compassion when making music is super helpful, I hear your inner critic coming out a lot. I wish I had your keyboard skills!

I really like your channel - i like watching the creative process and all the struggles makes life seem real. like i am not the only one. AUGY can you please create a youtube channel with all your music on it. I like to listen to it from time to time. I like the mood you create. Maybe call the channel Augy - Music. This will give your viewers a one stop place to listen to your creations. I think it will help grow your channel. Just a suggestion from a fan. Thanks for making this post and showing us viewers the creative process.

I DISAGREE with arcadepiano. arcadepiano is making it sound simple to be an artist and be creative which is simple not the case. As for brain fog / concentration - YOU have to feed the brain daily. If you are having trouble concentrating. Have a cup of green tea or matcha tea (boil water at 80 degrees, no more, for max benefit) or Have a cup of yerba mate black tea (bring water to full boil max benefit) or here is what i do I drink a cup of green tea or matcha tea and take organic Lion's maine (mushroom supplement) this will help brain focus. You can also buy lion's maine coffee. To clean out brain fog blue berries. 1/2 banana (b-vitamins) or half apple (choline). Leafy greens such as spinach are good as well.

i am advanced. i never accepted one coin from music in 3 decades. anyone can make music, same as everybody can take photos with the telephone. it is not a speciality anymore, it's not a job, it is not a skill nor a secret. in your case you will only find people who want to have sex with you no matter how much your music sucks. only with the hope of having a chance because they supported you at the beggining of fame, but it doesn't mean your music is beautiful. it will never be because you don't know about chords. no one does in fact, but me. that's a secret, the exception to the rule.

Love seeing this raw process. Was thinking of doing the same thing!

I’ve noticed with me when I get my physical and mental health in check I do much better . Also , if I get my hormones correct , my mind is much more clear . It’s very hard and time consuming making music , but I feel like for us musicians it’s a bug that never goes away.

very nice video. keep up the good work ☺

Interesting process. You could maybe sit on a higher piano bench in order to be more comfortable playing while inventing piano parts. I'm all admiration for people who can song-write. I sank a ton of hours into trying to come up with ideas and take even one of them to fruition, but I realized I'm not that guy. I can see how your process would eventually lead to a song with a fresh feel, kind of like Rachel Collier's process does. Good luck, and keep having fun!!

good video

I'm trying to ditch social media too. So much lost time and productivity from doom scrolling. Thanks for the inspiration!

This video is so relatable. I enjoy watching your creative process! I've been in a musical rut lately and haven't been able to write anything for a few months and you've given me some inspiration.

Yes we all have had 'bad' music ideas but as long as you learn from those bad ideas they're serving their purpose in helping you to move forward into good and great ideas. That's what writing music is to me. This is a very raw look at your process and I appreciate the less edited version with all of the experiences in making music kept in. Looking forward to seeing how things progressed.

Hey, I feel you❤ I stopped thinking about recognition long time ago - now just enjoing myself with the process. Playing small concerts (people come even though they don't know you) helps a lot - it's magical to feel this connection🙏

This is pretty spot on compared to what I've been going through. I definitely grew resentful of myself for not continuing on with a good thing I had years and years ago. I'd even try to play something on guitar and instantly be frustrated about my "lost" talent since I was extremely out of practice. I couldn't even play in time to a beat... LOL! For the last two years I've slowly been progressing to getting back to the same level I once was and am about there and even better in some aspects. Another problem I had was thinking that I really want to get back into creating music and thought the solution was to just throw money at the problem and hope something sticks. Anyways, very great advice and inspirational. Thanks! 😁

Hey, I'm waiting for the next video! 😅

The m-audio mini 32 was my first midi keyboard, i love that it fits perfectly into a laptop bag so it's like having a portable studio in a bag.

Love this video <3

Great video! I am also starting my musical journey and I relate to what you are saying. Can't wait to see what you create

I've been wanting to make videos sort of like this too. It's really chill, can't wait to watch you on your musical journey :)

I don't think I'm talented, though I believe that a lot of what you're saying can apply to anyone trying to build the skill and motivation to improve and enjoy their craft :D

I was wondering if others struggled the same way I do lol, the curse of endlessly checking sounds haunts us 😂

How are you using the Akai Fire controller without FL Studio?

i don't blame you for copying others, it's the greed of making extra money from internet, the aim for becoming a celebrity. most musician's only goal is fortune and fame. unfortunately. me on the other hand i prefer the music as a secret for self joy, like touching yourself. many people does touch themselves to make extra money on internet. the money in music is prostitution. i am inventor of the law of music harmony, i counted all the chords and scales 29 years ago. the good music should be this wise when composing, taking in account all the possible correct chords for the next second, similar to how a good poet is taking the entire dictionary in consideration when choosing the best next word. unfortunately most the songs we've heard were composed by just using the 2 chords major and minor, and call it the day. and unfortunately the image is more important than musicality. my wisdom is nothing compared to the video of a nice woman. sia wouldn't have become millionaire if it wasn't for the ballerina on her videoclips. same happened to how billie eilysh became a hit with bad guy, thanks to the videoclip. we live in a society that gives prizes turn into billionaires to the beautiful already rich people who doesn't need, and we spit the eye of depressed toothless homeless who needs more help. if the songs were genuinely good enought, they would become popular without any propaganda, without any visuals. i decline hiring a film director, dancers, make up, script writters, actors etc to dress my songs, and i don't even publish my songs because my gaol is the sublime, the perfectionism, the inmortality, the transcendent, like i am making at least 250 voice takes for a song instead of publishing videos blabbing for the sake of growing subscribers, giving them what they want, using the chat as script writters. i walked countless kilometers playing guitar but never busked. i never accepted any coin because i have ethics and moral. i am not a entertainer to please the pedestrians. i don't accept requests. i don't want to pay to any musician either. music since 2010 is free to everybody. the democratization happened when daw, virtual instruments and plugins were shared for free on internet then mixers with usb at reasonable prices, then eventually just interfaces available for everyone. similarly in the 90's if i wanted to take a photo i had to pay to kodak or agfa for a roll of 24 or 36 and print in a shop of photos. so the average person might buy just one roll per year, maybe 4, and that was it. those few companies had the monopoly, but now that we have smartphones, and the average person makes thousands of photos without giving any money to kodak nor agfa. anyone can make music and probably with better sound than the celebrities that the 80's and 90's television brainwashed me to adore, when we were just passive watchers on our coach. the music creation was only available for few chosen people who could afford pro recording studios that costs like dentist visit for few minutes. and those pros are denials of the democratization of music, as if all the musicians of the world shouldn't own a home music studio. the youtubers on that mafia they are obstacles against the free sharing softwares to make your own music, they are the dinosaurs that believes they own the music and the civilization tastes to manipulate., as if only those who can afford would be elligible to make good music. since the 50's almost everyone on tv and cinema wwere chosen because bed favors to the producers, including the brad pitt chosen as the new handsome celebrity by the academia ruled by yeewiss. music is not english by the way. i am supposed to write in the vehicular language of english in this google media. the northamerican wants to rule the world, they own the entertainment industry, they told us how to behave through hollywood and the music, on the radio and now, since 1998 or so on internet. i studies 3 years of logic and thepoint is detect the intentions beyond the words, beyond the non verbal language, reason why for me you are not different than those who knocked my doorbell this morning to convince me about joining their club. you openly admit you don't know what's your channel is going to be about, so the fame and wealth are obvious goals. internet is cluttered of people who doesn't have anything to say. me on the other hand i just have one video which is a generous sharing of technology, and it's very short to not waste the time, it's self explanatory and good. you don't have actually anything good to offer, just showing your beautiful faith and expect to be maintained by tips of the audience telling you how beautiful you are. as i said i value the wisdom of better chord choices, and i am working in my spare time reading the spanish dictionary in hope that i will become a for real poet someday. i won 7 years of prizes as poet when i was a boy and teenager, but the real poets doesn't consider themselves good enought, as good philosophers realizes we know little. but still certain informations are way more useful than others. my experience and grandmother's education runs in circles to what ai bots can read the entire internet publications because i've never shared my wisdom on internet, i don't need like they do in silicon valley to turn the entire planet into a copy of how they want the cultures become. i am 46 years old so i lived half my life before the internet and i hold my culture hidden and i am not changing by the english pressure of the entertainment i consumed on internet.

wow that's quite courages of you, putting even your vulnerable, boring and maybe embarrassing feeling moments out there!, thank you for reminding us that it's necessary and valuable to go through this <3

what computer keyboard is that? sounds lovely

I work as a software engineer, and love to make music on the side. This video is so relatable to me! basically forget everything I know about ableton over the last year as I only have time to focus on improving my guitar playing. And as an engineer, love the reference to an IDE lol def would watch this as a livestream on twitch

Yo lets go!!! Love to see the real stuff. Things are hard and beginnings can be even harder... The title of this video and what you speak about here are vary inspiring. It's like starting a camp fire or something the way you set it up and tend to it in the early stage is what helps it to grow bigger. I just started a new relationship about a week ago as in couple and its been great... there is what I like to call growing pains though where we are learning things about each other building the foundation so we can coexist with each other and a lot of work is being done to do that on both ends. Also me and my brother are working on a song and many things we are also learning for the first time so yeah I get what you mean. Thanks for the video its super cool! I might come back to this video when I start something new in my life or at least think about this video. New things are awesome though that means we are living a new experience and growing even if they can be hard its worth it in the end <3

i feel seen lol, most relatable thing i've seen in the music side of youtube

That computer keyboard sound is straight out of heaven.

Great video! Recently, I’ve been to Cracow for the whole day, all by myself. I love wandering around alone. I spoke to many people that day, and learned a lot. That way you can become a real observer, and if you see beauty in small things, like me, it is delightful❤

Have been doing music production, mixing/mastering and engineering for almost 10 years, and I still have some of the struggles where my brain shuts down and can't do much in music haha

I'm into producing and I'm lost when it comes to plugins, sidechain and varieties of tricks to make sound the way I want it to sound 😢

I JUST CHEKCED YOUR SPOTIFY AFTER WATCHING THIS, THIS SHIT HEAT KEEP IT UP

thank you for sharing this!

it is painful Augy, you are so brave and currently a big inspiration of mine

Nice work! It's challenging being a songwriter these days... But also lots of opportunity. This video has inspired me to make a video like this. I'm dreading the editing though =)

😍❤❤‍🔥

thank you for sharing your process Augy!

50% distraction, 30% chaos and 20% progress, this is what usually happens during a song making progress for beginner producers like us.

Ahh I'm documenting this process too!! Liked and subscribed, let's go 🚀 As an ex-tech guy who is now transitioning to creating stuff, lmao at you saying IDE instead of DAW by mistake Also all my songs so far have pretty much had the lyrics of "I don't know what I'm doing" so I feel very seen watching you sing the same stuff while you're noodling (as shown here lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3ixqZmvlJiFjKs)

I 100% feel the pain of not having energy, being out of ideas, not knowing where to start, being tired after searching for that one sound, and more. Is music making fun? Sure, when it is working out! I am glad you show the other side as well. Subscribed to support your process.

Very interesting following your process, the honesty of this video makes it more relatable. I also feel the beginning is hard. Thank you for sharing!

I love watching other peoples process we can relate to the struggle, hopefully soon i can start making videos doing the same instead of just posting my finished songs. Good luck with your journey we're on it with you. 😊

Upcoming artists keep going. 👏

heck yes, you got this!! And i got surprised hearing you speak Polish. are you from Poland as well?

Finally some realistic insights into this process. It's exactly like that for some of us and not the perfect, pristine no mistakes videos everywhere on KZbin. Thank you for posting, you could turn it into a music diary and share the struggle as well as the eureka moments, I think that would be appreciated. Either way good luck and have fun.

What daw you are using?
