Do THIS before you learn how to produce your own music

[@michaelj.anderson1116]

I started producing my own music at 40. I'm 46 now and I am very happy with my progress. I can willfully create any idea in my mind. It's been a lot of work but tons of fun at the same time.

[@michaelj.anderson1116]

@@vanyl.d the best advice I can give is to create everyday. Watch a lot of tutorials from producers you admire or styles you like. Learn the techniques you like and experiment with them in your own mixes. Just keep creating and try to learn something new every once in a while. The most important thing is don't worry about how good your creations are. Have fun trying and learning new things. Let creating every day be it's own reward and before you know it you will have amassed a plethora of skills. You should be realistic and honest with your self about the quality of what you create but only as a way to Guage where you are in relation to where you would like to be, so that you know what you need to improve on and practice more. Lastly, NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM. I hope that helps.

This is inspiring considering I'm about to be 33 and have been battling feeling like I'm super behind on time and experience. 🙏🏻 Amazing to hear!

[@michaelj.anderson1116]

@@peachybaby33 it's never too late to follow your passion. You can't compare yourself with others. You have your own path and it has it's own timing. You are a unique individual and have things to offer in a way that others can't.

[@laurab5296]

Thanks for the vid! Really great tips. I’m a singer but I can’t play an instrument and it has really held me back from making songs. Your advice on intention is Gold 🙏 thank you

[@darktempleful]

Same Laura, looks like I found another similar musician profile with same issue!

[@laurab5296]

It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one lol 😂 was thinking of making some songs acapela style(think pitch perfect, making instrument sounds using the voice?) and limited instruments. It’s really my only choice but it doesn’t capture fully what I have in my mind.

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

My pleasure! And hey, girl I got you!! If you want to produce without playing any instruments, I think you'll dig this video! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aanYdIGke9WXeLc

[@brentblackburn976]

Follow the joy I love this as a central theme. I have fun in daws but there's something disengaging about putting on the headphones. I need my hands on the instruments to feel the groove. My hope is now that I've expanded between guitar, bass, keys and drums and learned new elements in music from each, I can devise an integrated recording plan that helps to get past that headphone aversion.

do you show how to publish /and have your own record label?

[@Thereisonlyone464]

Hi I have an email with a link to purchase the from voice memo to demo, and I’d like to know how beginner I need to be? I use Ableton and play keys & sing, my problem is getting stuck trouble Shooting or just not really understanding all the details on how to do this more professionally. I know the basics but there is a lot more I need to know.

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

hey there! I think From Voice Memo 2 Demo is a great starting place if you're still needing to learn how to produce and arrange your music. If you're interested in learning how to build a business as a producer, you might consider Home Studio Boss or the All Access Pass :) You can email us at [e-mail] and we'll help you find what suits you best!

[@franko444]

Kool vid, tks Kris! I’m the opposite, kinda…. I’ve been producing electronic music on and off for about twelve years but I have a desire to start songwriting, indie pop songs to be exact. I’m a guitar player by trade but I’ve little experience when I comes actually writing original songs. Any advice as to where I should start? 😊

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

Thank you! I have some videos on songwriting as well, here's one you can check out! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/anS8ZmavoZyZiK8

[@Acpjohn]

It's a trap, am not down playing learning how to record your vocal but producing ' like full time production' at first it makes sense but when time goes on its not funny, time you would have invest in your craft you will be investing it on other artist to be patronise at all time, and if you are not careful years will go and you are just moving in circles It's best as an artist look for a producer, creat relationship and you both should grow together, the time you will be thinking of key bord melody or drum groove the producer is helping you to that and being in the creative state to make u a fire beat, why you are spending your time on the song writing and performance, If you one to follow her method just keep 5 years of your life if you are serious in being a music producer, why waist it just create relationship with your producer and u both grow together

Sometimes, not all the time, you ever listen to Gran from Miami, plays all the instruments and records, mixes, produces, I love his work, freaking mind blowing, lemme get a link as I can never spell his last name kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3vTeHalj5mXqtUsi=dOrAqIHzxpw-Xg4q CC is English! Cheers!

You must be fun at parties with all that negativity and gate keeping.

[@One_Black_Panther]

I love this video! I have a question, what if you want to be a beat maker as well? Does this approach work for that? I also songwrite & would love to produce myself but i alao would lovevto make beats for others ir wven companies etc to make a living....i too get overwhelmed in how to start and most times give up because if it. I just need a more practical approach that is not too complicated as im nowhere near tech savy in using the daw (logic us what i use) and actual song/beat structure so i can finish the beats i make. Thx

[@thatguyinaband6341]

yeah you totally can, Gran does it all and he's my favorite artist around, created his own genre I'll get a link if your curious to check it out as I always misspell his last name kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3vTeHalj5mXqtUsi=dOrAqIHzxpw-Xg4q CC is English! Cheers!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

thank you, glad you enjoyed! Absolutely, this works for any genre because everything starts with a VISION and intention first! Beatmaking is SOO fun, and actually more simple in many ways because most of the time you're working with samples, and midi.

[@One_Black_Panther]

​@@ProduceLikeaBossthank u soooo much for this. I checked the video...the beat was 🔥 btw!! Wow ur a beast! You move through the daw so fast! I want to learn how to do that! Honestly that was one of the things holding me back to creating was sucking at using the daw, knowing how to get and put in plug ins...know what plug ins are good, creating ur own kits etc. It seems so overwhelming...I'm a creative but the tech part is what hinders me. Ur personality and the way u explain things inspired me to get back in it and not give up! I actually use logic too..do u have a video on how to get better going through the daw more smoothly where u can focus more on creating? Even the way u copy, paste and move...u do it so effortlessly!! Ur amazing!!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

@@One_Black_Panther I totally feel you! I almost gave up too because the tech was SO overwhelming. That's why I love teaching it now, and simplifying it for others! Here's a video that will help you move around logic more effortlessly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4jae56PgJmIh80

[@tonycampbell4982]

I disagree about being dated. Are you still in Nashville? Modern music the absentence of live musicians is very noticable also the lyrics are good and the music is horrible or the music track is good and the lyrics suffer. You sould like coming from that California music appeoach to creating music math where the lyrics dont have to make sense to which i reply in country music its 3 chords and the truth!

[@ProduceLikeaBoss]

thanks for you input Tony! I'm actually a big fan of great lyrics (and of the saying 3 chords and the truth, because that truly is all you need for a good song!) What I'm implying in this video is that telling somebody NOT to skill stack and gain new tools (like producing) to increase their chances of success in the industry is dated. Knowledge is value. Application of that knowledge is power. ✨
