Dude why are you mixing around in that chair so much?

So many things I could be doing haha thanks bro

Great advice!

cool vid, gl on ur way

On the plugins thing... I've been doing this for a short time and I've already created a few tracks that actually sound like music. I'll give my own creativity and love of music some credit... but I also have to give some credit to the amazing plugins, synths, orchestra libraries etc that I've spent (or wasted) money on. I get so much inspiration when I find a synth preset I love and immediately get ideas for a song. I'm also open to the help some of the plugins can give to form musical ideas, especially the virtual instruments like UJAM plugins. But my favorite thing is just collecting vsts and exploring experimenting with them even if I might never use one in a song. Its fun. But even with all of the help I get from my growing plugin collection, it hasn't kept me from learning to play piano and get as much music theory knowledge that I can.

It’s also peculiar that his techniques are exactly the same techniques as the laziest person that I know. He also does not really participate much in the creative aspect of production

Just remember that not every technique works for every person. I am most creative within the first two hours of waking up

How to stop overthinking by Rick Rubin: 1. Be an ultra-rich out of touch celebrity who makes music for a living. 2. Be friends with a ton of other famous celebrities. 3. Have a personal chef who preps and makes all your meals and buys all your food with no budget regardless of the price. 4. Be so well off that you can work around your rigorous meditation schedule.

As a fellow producer, I feel you on social media. I yo-yo with deleting it or keeping it and end up wasting too much time with it. Thanks for the video!

That's right

This is great! As an artist social media feels draining. Between the actual engagement, what I’m seeing when I log on and just the overall disconnect from the actual art. These are very practical tips. I’m thinking of just going all in on youtube and doing some direct to fan marketing in the form of either mass texting (superphone) or emails.

Amazing video mate! Thanks! X

Awesome tips

You are one of the rare persons who doesn't use social media nowadays. I agree on how distracted it can be and how shallow the engagement is...

Definitely a big fan of Deep Work and it helps me a lot. Maybe you're also familiar with Cal's Digital Minimalism and Slow Productivity? The other books you recommended are also interesting, thanks for the summary!

this really good advice, thank you!! I want to start recording and mixing my own music and am starting from scratch also, subscribed

Agreed on most points, but I must disagree on "production comes down to getting a song to sound professional" that's engineering. Production (traditionally) is the high level thinking and decision making of the whole thing that results in its translation to a real audience. it is not the music or the sound 'quality'. A production decision might result in an engineering solution, but they are not the same. In the same why a film director doesn't operate the camera or write the script. Yes I'm arguing semantics but I think it's important to recognise the separate processes whatever you call them in order to become better at them (also it actually pays to know the difference as producers are legally paid differently to artists, writers and engineers) Also while we are here "professional sound" is a complete misnomer and myth, there is isn't one, real audiences don't care.

Wow, this video is literally talking to me! amazing job man. 👍🏻

im a sound designer i just use serum and vital

so true, make music for yourself ( not for others ) , if others like whate u do greath , there no bad or good way ! but just keep doing whate u like........ great video and info good weekend all !!!
