[@Hazzahead]

Hardest part for me is not playing the loop over and over until I get sick of it. I’ll always have a good idea but hear it too many times and move onto the next project

[@Etakit]

@@Hazzahead This has definitely caught me a lot of times. One of the most helpful things I've implemented was the idea of "iterate forward". Basically, if you make changes to your loop or you're adding layers, put them into the next section of the song. It forces you to move your track forward until you have the bones of a mix and can then go back and fill things out. Hope that helps!

[@Fei_PL]

idk... mastering/mixing? I got only mouse and keyboard + fls demo, no knowledge at all, and lots of feelings.. But noone have time to listen anymore... nowdays everyones timespan seems to be few seconds

[@coolsmoke5825]

Can I just say that You're a fantastic teacher! So many of these videos are just confusing where I see cursors flying all over the screen to functions I've never seen before and that are too fast for me to follow. I saw a few of your videos though, and even as a complete noob, I took away a lot. For sure when I get more experienced I should revisit and make the most of it but it really helped me avoid many pitfalls and to see where I should look for improvement. So thanks!

[@fluctura]

Same in software engineering. You begin to write spaghetti code, because you don't know what you're doing. Then, you've learned a lot of stuff and mix it together until it becomes a big mess of abstraction layers and frameworks until finally, you come back to simplicity and build great software that is optimal, easy to use and doesn't contain any line of code that is not essentially relevant to fulfill the goal of the program.

[@EDMTips]

Great analogy! Love it 👍🏻

[@boro2g-music]

100% agree

[@thewhitefalcon8539]

why is every KZbin comments section full of programmers?

[@Bennnj10]

As someone who also used to code I’ve thought about this a lot. I also think imposter syndrome and the dreaded “tutorial hell” are something beginner developers/producers struggle with (including myself)

[@fluctura]

@@thewhitefalcon8539 because of statistics... you will find more tech affine people here than in standard distribution. Also, programmers earn well - they can afford expensive courses and plugins and are likely to end up here more frequently than average. Another indicator is that programmers listen to lots of music and are likely to be interested in production? Just a few indicators. And then again, people call themselves programmers after watching 10 tutorials. I have 15+ years professional experience and never had time to look into music production despite being really addicted to music since I was 4yo xD since a few years I'm more into it and use music production to let my heart speak out loud..

Man, I'm mostly mixing rock and metal music. Your tips is top notch and not only applicable to electronic music

[@EDMTips]

These techniques can be applied to other genres, 100%! 🙌🏻

[@TraxtasyMedia]

See? EDM isn't just electronic synth music with some 808 kicks. Glad that other people from other genres watch these videos.

[@dudebro7698]

I do country which is about as far from electronic music as you can get and these tips are still incredibly useful.

[@TheRealSlimSteve]

EZDrummer for drums if you want amazing drum sounds for rock and metal. Even if live recorded with hit's converted to midi and sounds replaced. Highly recommended and makes drums sound like a seriously pro studio sound. And no, I don't work for them 😁

[@djchemie]

Simplicity is really important! I got a lot of "nice" ideas and put them all together and the feedback always comes back mostly negative. I am publishing the cleanest track I made tomorrow and this is so far my favorite. The only thing different is that I stuck to the genre and kept it simple!

[@TraxtasyMedia]

Maybe your music sounds too surgical clean? That may be one of the reasons why people get denied, because they do Songs that are way too clean for a genre, maybe it's because your tracks are too overloaded with these ideas or probably you start at an interesting point and during time the energy and intention/emotion/meaning disappear?

[@BrenCford]

Pro tracks tend to be simple and big. Beginner tracks are simple but flawed by poor engineering and a lack of polish. Intermediate tracks are more polished but tend to do too much for an average listener to enjoy. One of the Oasis brothers said "if you want people to listen to your music then you'll have to keep it simple".

[@jibberism9910]

Nothing beats the strength of simple ideas implemented in a good way.

[@lateralshiftmusic]

The simplicity tip is so so good, I really have taken this one to heart thank you Will!

[@peterpiper6362]

I have been watching a lot of your videos and the one tip in this video that really struck a "chord" (🤣) was tip number 4, simplicity on the other side of complexity. I have been working on some of my own tracks trying to apply some of the things I am learning from your videos and other sources. I DID catch myself over complicating my mixes where I had to start from the beginning and cut things out and am find this to be exactly the case. Sometimes, if not most of the time, the simplest route is to focus on what needs to be corrected and not overcomplicate it. I had eq's setup and then other eq's that basically reversed what the original eq was doing all because I was trying to use EVERY resource at my disposal. While my learning has been painstakingly tedious, I have learned so much in the last few months. Thanks for making these videos and breaking these points down to understandable terms that I can relate to.

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome, Peter, I am glad you found it helpful! A lot of beginner producers I came across try to fit too much in their tracks. Having more sounds doesn't make the track sound better. A few sounds that sound well together do.

🎉 WOW so helpful thank you! 😊 So much juicy content in one video!! I have been struggling with these points lately so this is perfect. Staying with one vibe is a challenge for sure! My current production sounds like two songs now. I’ve only lately started to incorporate this simplicity again (after the complexity) stage and having good results! But still need to go further to achieve one vibe! Your example was perfect as both versions sound good but different vibes for sure! Amen brother!

@@EDMTips how about a how to Left/Right, or Claude Vonstroke that'd be amazing

[@TraxtasyMedia]

Hey there, this video is pretty cool, I mostly agree with the idea of using HQ samples, but in my opinion, that declines the learning process and effect. Because using samples everyone else used a ton of times doesn't really make you a better creator, okay on the aspect of deadlines to match, using samples is helpful yes. But I am actually working on a song where I use samples and presets I created from scratch to achieve the former point of learning effect and experience. Cheers. Stay safe, have nice holidays and a happy new year 2023 that all your wishes may come true

Regarding item 4: this actually applies to any profession. When you look how real professional works, you're usually very surprised how easy and simple he does. Very often stupid people say: "and this is what he is paid for? So easy, can be done by anyone!" Forgetting about endless hours and years of hard work and practice, thousands unsuccessful attempts and mistakes required to reach this simplicity.

[@GongMaster]

Usually I fully agree with all your tips, but the thing about sticking to a theme is only partial true. If everyone would follow this, no new music would ever happen. Getting outside the comfort zone is where new stuff happens. All what we do today was beyond the rules in the past. Breaking the rules is where the new stuff is found. If you want to be a clone and sound like million others, then foller strictly the rules and you will be nobody. Be inventive and if you break the rules, be aware if it improves the music. Sure, there are basics which are always true because they are of technical nature, but "sticking to a theme" is what people overdo today. Just listen to the top 10 and how boring and flat the music is. There is no soul and it goes nowhere. Just constant repeating loops with no musical value. They are sticking to the theme and the music is bad. The success is artificially fabricated by the major labels and not because the music is good. We need to get out of the auto-tune copy clone nonsense and it is about time to create real music again. No templates and break out of the common structures. Create new structures!

Which hall reverb are you using? I don't seem to have this one?

[@jayfblank]

I can diggit, but I have a hard time calling it "art", if I'm using other music by other artists as a template. That, to me, is a vague obfuscation of "copying". I'm not sure that if you're trying to stand out and be unique, using other music as a "template" is a good suggestion. Learning music theory is vital, if you want to create new, unique music that flows together nicely.

[@EdzCreationz]

My opinion is to never limit your creative endeavour to a set of rules by choosing what genre your going to make before the track is taking form, fuck genres. Genres are for listeners to easily find songs that are alike, not for creators. If you start your project by limiting the range of avalaible creative fields your journey of creation may discover your just going to make copies of shit that someone already made hundreds of times. My life has taken me through Rock into Metal, from Led Zeppelin & Queen to Deadmau5 & infected mushrooms, from Hardrock to Hardstyle, From KoRn to Hans Zimmer, from psytrance into hip-hop, from Slipknot to Eminem, and I was a diehard Metalwarrior that shat on every other genre to be a diehard hardstyle-fanboi and all I've learned is that genres limits your view of the world I think the most fun I've had comes out when I let go of the ropes that try to bind me and just go apeshit for a night, for example, I might start sound designing cool or melodic sounds and coming up with a sweet chord or melody progression at 137bpm(and always use bpms with "magical" numbers, I think tesla was a wee bit crazy but still a great mind that was on to something, always leave some room for the possible existence of magic just in case), after some hours of tinkering I might lower it to 96.3 and continue the fun but switching from a housy feeling to hippetihopbeat, then up to 111 after some more hours, then a day later down to 66.6 with some doubletime-stuff, up to 77.7 just to balance out the hocus-pocus-scale, then I take a step back, arrange all the different crazy patterns quickly into what I 'feel' should go togheter & what doesnt without listening too much, render the track starting at low bpms, successively add ~20bpm at every 'drop' or turn, get a file thats 20-30 minutes long, go to the kitchen & roll up a joint with some snacks or food and sit down & take a listen and analyze the absolute horror you've created, trying to find what glitters & sparkles there is to then a week later try to polish it into a gem. But, I'm a child of chaos and I don't have to rely on trying to make a living with my music so I use it to vent my feelings & enjoy some time for myself when I need to detach from society or stressfull moments, without it I would be dead long ago, its difficult enough to keep your place & your life in order without chaos enveloping everything so in music I almost never have anything in order, so I try to focus my chaotic energy & turn it into feelings of emotions with what I create in my basement of solitude, so the world doesn't need to suffer my destructive or self-destructive ways outside my walls. It has taken me ~15 years to just learn the ropes of everything that envelopes music making, and I've had long breaks or stagnant times of no creation, but I've never ever once been bored with or burned out on trying to create music while everyone around me has abandoned it years ago. I would love to make a living just playing games or making shit, but I know the moment I ever try to monetize it it'll corrupt the essence of it, so I'm hoping someone up in heaven if there is one will find a liking of what I do and remove the need for me to ever have to earn money ever again, cus I love the freedom of having money but I hate having to earn it so I hope I'll earn my freedom in some other mystical way. Well shit, this derailed a lot Anyways, Never force it & always let it flow the way it wants to go & dont let genres define you. There is good places to start when creating music, I just try to start with if I either want to design a cool sound, a melody or a beat, may it be a pluck, a bass or anything in between, I try to make it as good sounding I can and somewhere along the way the journey just takes over and I can stop thinking for once. thats my 2 cents on this derailed topic, dont remember what point if any I was trying to make really, good luck on your journey. 🤭
