this is one of the biggest reasons why this is my fav video.

[@luca.tronico]

Came here to say the same :) at least for things that involves creativity. For me is videogame development!

[@nothingtoseehere309]

@@luca.tronicothe reason I started making music is because I wanted to be a game developer, but when I started making my own music for my games I realized I was actually have more fun making music than making games 😂

[@ianconklinmusic]

As a 13 year old, I’m not trying to make money as of right now with music production. I am trying to get better and I hope in five years I will be making some mola from production. Edit: Mom, I am kind of famous!

[@aManBeLike]

Damn,same :D Half of year now in prodution,and im 13 too

[@aManBeLike]

Wanted to ask someone,what style of music is more hard,is ot orcestral ? Or Breakcore(not D n B)

[@XEAZUR]

same also 13yo 2yrs of music production and im just mixing genres and having fun. today learned how to get a arpeggiator to work in cubase. dw about it and keep doing stuff. i went from a melody of 4 notes over a basic chord scheme song with the lenght of 15 secs to decent vaporwave. do your thing and have fun

[@Rayanial]

I'm very happy this video exists. Currently my only issue is equipment, I don't have a good PC or a daw and that really sucks because that's basically what you need for making edm music especially to the advanced music I want to do. I'm 15 now and I'm trying to find a way to get my equipment and start making music. I'm not making music just for money, I'm making it for improvement, attention and for me. I want to make something really creative, something emotional or something that me, we, my future audience will vibe with me to. Someday, I will achieve my wish! Thank you for this video, I will use it as a piece of information.

[@jobs7932]

I just closed my daw in frustration, because the beat I made didn't sound as good as I wanted it to sound, and immediately stumbled upon this video. Needless to say it helped a lot! Thanks

[@peachtime]

Didn't watch the video yet but if ur still learning its better to just fiddle with a beat as much as possible even if its not turning out well

[@jobs7932]

@@peachtime That's a solid advice, to an extent though. As far as sticking to not abandoning projects - that is 100% true, every project should be finished, even if it's "bad", but there are sessions when nothing stick for more than an hour - IMO these are the ones worth ending, and coming back to the project the other day. Right now I have more techniques to help me avoid frustration, back then I used to try the same thing over and over again like a madman, and right now if I can't make something work for 15-20mins I just switch to another part of the song that looks like a quick win - quick wins are the best in motivating!

[@NishkaaDeginal]

i do that too its really annoying tbh am so glad this vid exists

[@johnne86sd]

Damn good content! On a technical note, one thing that helps me practice or inspire is to play along to music you already listen to. Pick music from your favorite artists or any random song on KZbin or whatever. Just play along on the fly. Practice your rhythm and keys. Maybe add some piano riffs, some strings, a lead, a baseline, etc... Pick an instrument you think fits. You'll learn to "hear" when it sounds right in key and when it sounds wrong in dissonance.

Bro same i usualy play with my MIDI when listening to songs, but not that advanced

Thank you so much, hope everyone going well with this journey 💙🎶

[@undscrvd]

I'm 15 and I just want to share my creations with the world. I always tell myself: Not everyone has to like it, if just one person finds it interesting I have succeeded. Keep this in mind and be the best music producer you can be

[@takingsoulss]

grazie ed, im "stuck" since 8-10 years. learned a whole lot but could never make it a income. always had the feeling i was inches away from "making it", and still have it. this video really motivated me. just focus on your unique process.

[@maylay_rising]

I've been making beats for 17 years. Timbaland played my beats at his concerts 12 years ago and I sold beats to Dr. Dre that will probably never see the light of day 😒 Either way, I'm proud of you big Dawg! Keep it up!! 🙌🙌

honestly point 4 is what i needed to hear today. for me i constantly struggle with the fact that i keep saying i will release music when its good enough but 6 months ago i would have wanted to be where i am now but now i want to be 6 months ahead and so i never actually get to the point of releasing i thought i was the only one who thought like that so point 4 made my day

extremely helpfull video! Thanks Ed! :)

[@MarkHimley]

I really love your videos. Especially videos like this one. You are really motivating. And you have a pretty honest and clear sight on things. I really apreciate it. And I can totally relate to your tips. This is really the way to go. Most other producers that give such advises don't have that much fun in life or have personal problems, that keep them of giving good advises. You are my favourite music KZbinr 😀 God bless you :)

Great video and i realized when i started making a beat for a battle my production improved so much we need to push ourselves sometimes

[@Eedrienn]

bro i love this video! it's so on point in my career atm

[@GodSpeed1105]

I think the only problem holding majority of people back is just lack of quality and taking time to master that. I started a little over 3 years ago at like 21 and didn't even know the C note or a Maj chord, never did music in HS either. I just started just to try it. So I have a lot of catching up to do considering people started close to 10 years ago with music theory knowledge.

[@sirheavenlyy]

[@MrZorronatoR]

Thanks for the video! I think advice #7 hits home pretty hard. I am on and off of making music for about a year now but never really sat down and pushed through it. The blank slate always creates a constant thought of "Where the heck do I even start?!" for me. Especially when tapping into a broader genre it's getting rather discouraging imho. Which makes #3 an even more valuable advice! Thanks a lot. :)

[@alegy2840]

I really notice all the work that goes in to editing, but I honestly preferred when they were more "homemade" and down to earth.

[@MrCharlie066]

Hey Ed, nice video once again. Got quite philosophical at times.. Point 3 is tough, learn by copying others - I'm finding artists daily that I love and want to analyse their music. Sometimes the work has been done for me on youtube or google, but other times I have to try and figure out how they did it.. as a newbie this is tough! Like you said, talking to others is helpful - I've seen artists like Flume and Mura Masa posting their early work on Reddit. Anyway, back to Garageband for me hahaha

[@trevorstewart1308]

I've been writing music for 30 years, and I've found three things to be true (for me): 1) I'm a terrible musician, but a passable producer 2) success in life is based on one's chosen goals 3) because my chosen goal has been to make the music that I want to hear, I always enjoy listening to my own music (no matter how bad it is)

[@nniitchh]

There are so much scam guides on YT telling you how to be successful or how to get rich and your ultra fast edit style, for people with no attention and your laughing after every second sentence, did made me think you would be one of those persons. Until I noticed that you arent, you just have a very extroverted video style, don't want to waste people's time and actually fill it with useful tipps. Most of the time people say something like: "I wish I had such a guide as I began making...", the videos aren't helpful, but yours is well made and full of information and experiences.

[@FervyAbsoLover]

Hey! Felt like congratulating you 'cause damn is this video well written. I know you probably meant it exclusively with music in mind, but I think it really applies to many other forms as well. The advice on defining your path, your wording on the difference between art and content, they're all very valuable and presented very nicely. Personally, I don't even want music to be my *main* thing, but the solid advice on this video gave a nudge to my attitude towards what I agree is the right direction. So yeah, thanks a lot and incredible job!
