[@gav-ce5cm]

i get lost with all the sample. i can never seem to focus on the actual piece of music. And whenever i am doing something random an awesome drop just pops into my head. or even when i listen to a random piece of music, like classical it gives me inspiration. Classical is surprising because I don't listen to it often unless i listen to the radio

[@Yo-xe2wd]

OK you guys just give me some motivation, i think... xD

[@Zelectaa]

I feel so welcome in this conversation:(

[@r4ndomuser861]

@@julsd6009 its really hard man, same here. a few tricks I've used even though I still sometimes have the same issue: 1. Don't always play your song while looking at the arrangement. It kind of takes away from the song and makes it feel more like a science project than a song. Open up a youtrube video of like a dj set somewhere and watch that on mute with your song playing in the background and imagine its being played. Then judge it based off the feeling you get from that instead. 2. Just commit when a sound is 70% what you want and move on. You can always go back and change it later. But at least this way you're more likely to finish the arrangement and you'll find that you might not even have to go back and change it again since it always sounds wayyyy better in the context of a full song! 3. This is maybe the most important, music listeners DO NOT AND NEVER WILL hear your song the same way as a producer will. All they care about is "does it make me feel something or not?" So try not to be so hypocritical on micro-adjustments because honestly, listeners don't hear that crap anyways! Have a non-producer friend take a listen and tell you if it's good! Also, for inspiration, go listen to the Beatport Top 10, some of those songs are so damn basic and have no microadjustments and perfection in them at all, so that's always a nice reality check to know that you don't need to obsess and your song is probably good enough as it is.

Jonas is honestly the best producer and teacher on youtube-he gives tricks for mixing and mastering, kicks, melodies, makes amazing music, and most importantly, he treats his fans like friends and family members. He spends a lot of effort and time into making these videos for us. Along with his talent and friendliness, he deserves everyone's support.

[@leflyxdvd]

well not in this particular one tho, i mean skipping how to use the automation clips proper is kinda good to explain to newcomers. He glances over it like its basic, no explanation about the plugins (bought and free) he just does his thing and you can watch it but thats it.

When I look at producers like Jonas Aden, I sometimes don't even understand how they do it! Just twenty-five minutes turned out such a cool drop, and I can sit for more than an hour, but it is not a fact that something similar will come out! Do you imagine the entire track in your head, or do you sometimes just experiment without much thought in your head? I sometimes mess with one sound and it's already infuriating. Although I don't understand English very well, I really like your videos! Thank you very much for this video, please make more videos of this format!

[@AdenFoyer]

Thanks for watching man!! I usually just mess around untill something cool comes out and then i get an idea from that, which gives me another idea and so on

[@adrianmurray1628]

Thank you for the Video Jonas! This was suuuuper insightful and inspiring. One skill I am working on with a lot of my music lately is how to be more creative with my bass fills and watching your process of starting with them over the drums and adding main bass elements afterwords is a really good trick for creating room and maintaining a more simple bassline for some tracks.

this trick with using samples to form your bassline is so good. From the time before and the time after I started doing this, there's a day and night difference in the depth of the otherwise simple bassline. You don't need beethoven level musical knowledge if you use tricks like these.
