how to start making music

[@mahlvr]

“well vocals, i dont really know how to talk about it-“ *AND I FREAKING ASCENDED*

[@wallflwr_]

I'm glad it made you feel that way since I didn't know how to talk about it

[@Pseudoname_e]

those vocals are fire dude that's what I'm tryna sound like

[@wallflwr_]

ask ariel he mixed the shit out of them

[@patrickmanasco5905]

You gave me hope with thus comment😂

[@dork3132]

I have a crippling fear of doing something wrong and perfectionism

[@wallflwr_]

Oh you will do it wrong, and youll feel that way until you realise theres no way to do it wrong, because it should only sound good to you. Correct me if im wrong, but im only a perfectionist when it comes to things other people might see or interact with. Im terrible with selfcare, i cook food that tastes bad, terribly schedule things so it feels like i have no time when i do. I just do it anyways. It's no different with music. Make it badly, and make it for yourself

[@yat_ii]

music is an unperfectable art... noone in the whole world is perfect at it...

[@wallflwr_]

Yeah I just responded to another comment but this one is better for it so I'll copy paste. "your music will be imperfect. Imperfection is everywhere you should just take part in it anyways no one judges a squirrel for having a negative canthal tilt or some bullshit"

[@sgtdao4236]

Thx for this, that remix was straight fire

[@wallflwr_]

Thanks for sharing that, I thought it turned out pretty good too. Had a lot of fun making it, you should try making one yourself!

[@sgtdao4236]

@wallflwr_ I'm working on getting into it, actually I'm having a producing session with some friends today, but i always try to do everything from scratch which slows down the work immensly and productions just die off cause of lack of willpower to finish them. This video really shows that you just have to work on yourself over and over again to get a masterpiece.

[@wallflwr_]

Sounds like fun! Definitely helps if you have people around you to get the motivation, but there really is no secret to getting stuff done besides just putting it iut there whether it's ready or not. You'll always wish you had done more, but getting stuff out there helps you practice dealing with that feeling and just working on new stuff. We have a discord with producers and people who'd love to make some stuff with you and you're mates, you should join!

[@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT]

I think this video is cooking for you! I started watching it you had 100 subs. It autoplayed into another video of yours and you had 102. Went to look at your profile and you're at 103. Keep cooking!

[@wallflwr_]

Will do my best, seems like a good strategy is to just put love out there to to get it back

[@octo4679]

i work as a music teacher and honestly felt like i lost playing music as a hobby since it’s turned into my career. this video inspired me to get back into my songwriting. I still have my very first recorded song on soundcloud from 5+ years ago, so i’m excited to get back into it now that I have all the proper equipment! thank you for this

[@wallflwr_]

I can't tell you how much influence my music teachers had on me. I had one that stopped me from playing bucket drums and forced me to stick to guitar for the rest of high school. prolly part of why I stuck with it instead of bouncing around other instruments and not learning them in enough depth. Your job is powerful, mad respect. Maybe you or one of your students some day could end up like me, mostly a drop kick who loves music. Hope to hear some music from you soon

[@toastNbutter8]

super nice video

[@wallflwr_]

Thank you sir, I hope to hear some dope shit coming out of your crew

[@FlamingoBeatsOfficial]

Honestly some of the best advice for new artists I've seen in awhile!

[@wallflwr_]

I do be addressing it to people who I think should start

[@pIanetarium]

When I was in 3rd grade, I wrote and performed a song at a pep rally at school. It was absolute shit looking bad but it was fun asf. 7 years later, I’ve been trying to come up with new stuff, through random lines, voice memos, etc and I’m in the process of convincing my dad to let me get guitar lessons to add another instrument to my skill set. W video, your covers were also pretty fire.

[@wallflwr_]

Capture that love, that's how you make the best music.

[@wallflwr_]

Awesome to hear about your journey, thanks for sharing. Hopefully there's more to hear soon

[@kaiwendorf]

dude dont take lessons. seriously. ive written a couple of songs and i have never taken a lesson in my life. I taught myself. figure out how to use keys and figure out how to makes chords in different keys and you'll be set for a while. Once bar chords are limiting your creativity, maybe take lessons. But seriously, the only reason you maybe need lessons if because they'll help you come to epiphanies faster. I promise you'll be ok if you dont take lessons. go watch "samjam guitars" theory videos and you'll eventually figure it out. its also cheaper to not take lessons. wishing you the best!

[@wallflwr_]

Oh yeah I should've mentioned that too, ive done all self learning on guitar, but for production i did book a studio session when i was starting ableton. There's so much good content out there if you wanna learn, but sometimes a helping hand is great for starting.

[@kaiwendorf]

@@wallflwr_ yeah thats valid. if you do think your learnings plateaued then yeah get a teacher

[@realhikkashit]

i made music and released an album in 2019. was preparing for it for like 5 years prior, learning daw, composing mixing and mastering. recieved a bit of support but man i burnt the fuck out from making and releasing this shit. was broke af too. so i went into sound design and for the past two years, a gamedev sound design. and heavy weed addiction. and now i feel like going back to music. lets rock

[@wallflwr_]

I relate heavy. Our first ep, we were so done with it we skimped on mixing by the time it released. The brain is like a muscle, and the heavier the expectations you hold for your music the more tiring it will be for your mind, until you burnout. It sounds rough but im glad you got into something music adjacent, game sound design sounds like a dream to me tbh. Hopefully when you pick up music again it isn't a weight, but rather a 300cc cocktail of steroids and preworkout injected directly into your bloodstream that you love doing. No expectations though

[@veryfaust]

Fantastic, underrated video from a semi-underground KZbinr is my favourite genre ever.

[@wallflwr_]

I had like, 80 subs bẻoe this video. I was Mariana trench level tuber

[@anotherdev-br8ov]

wow genuine good content

[@wallflwr_]

Appreciate it boss, put a lot of love into it

[@RealMikoM]

very beautiful, very powerful

[@dylanenriguehuntington2908]

Excelent advice! I understand why you see understanding theory as nothing more than a barrier to entry but I swear understanding what makes music tick makes it so much easier to come up with good chord progressions and melodies. PD - The remix is fire, very well done

[@dylanenriguehuntington2908]

Also it helps you make concious stylistic decisions that provoke a specific emotive feel, instead of just "feeling it out" which can often lead to samey choices across several different songs.

[@wallflwr_]

Oh no i definitely agree, I would recommend for everyone to learn about music theory if they can. It's just never the first thing I would suggest somebody do if they wanted to get into making music. I think consciously listening to music and searching for chords/melodies that are interesting to you, rather than what's easier to make or the default can avoid that samey problem. Personally, exploring music is part of the joy of making it, and so if you focus on loving music in that way rather than the love of having a finished product, you'll end up with something interesting. I think that's why broadly speaking in my videos we make a range of music ( it also definitely helps to have ariels taste influence the music when he's mixing and Mastering as well though)

[@wallflwr_]

Thankyou for your thoughts though, it's probably definitely helpful for people who would like to approach it in a more structured way, which is awesome too. Anything to get people started

That's great to hear mate, let us know in the discord if you ever need any help

[@night_shade_]

Thank you for making this! This is so true! i started making covers so that i could have a reason to practice and be better motivated to make music. It taught me how to use a DAW without having to also worry about composing. And now the songs i have written, i know how to produce them! Self conscious about how trash i am, so i wear a mask.👍 And i really had to wrestle with the fact that i'm not good at all. But thats ok. Its ok to make bad art. And no one is watching, so it doesn't matter anyway. 😄

[@wallflwr_]

You fucking get it. Thanks for sharing, I hope other people see this and get inspired by it

[@elijahloiacono]

I needed a video like this, it just feels like I haven't even begun in everything I say I'm good at, just so I can say I have and can do SOMETHING, ANYTHING. I say I don't have the time with college going on, classes, I'm not good enough and I don';t have enough practice even though just DOING it is what gives me that practice. There are so many things that I love that I would be honored to have in my life, like drawing, animation, music, acting, dancing, but I get intimidated and back out. I don't think I'm there yet, but this helps, thanks.

[@wallflwr_]

I have a hella things I'm interested in, and youtube only addresses like, half of my interests so it's a good medium for me. The video part forces me to do something, but the freedom of it let's me engage with art which I only started doing this year, making more music, and editing. Even with KZbin as a motivator, the best stuff I make is still when im doing it for me, which yiu can see this video and the song in it was made for me and the people I love. I hope that gives yiu some confidence, that the only difference between you and me rn is I just chose to press the upload button on something I loved making and wouldve made anyways

[@ats_the_architect]

Hi, thanks for this video it was kinda needed ! I'm afraid of making music (blocking and loss of confidence in what i thought was good just 5 minutes before ^^') so I struggle to produce any damn thing on that cracked fl studio even though I write and "rap" (sort of) since almost 8 years. I want to finally start even if it's trash and just for fun and I found your video very honest, raw and appeasing compared to many others. Just a passionate approach of music creation without any unnecessary pressure ! And the remake you made is really great, congrats for pushing it to a whole new level :) Also thanks for reading me until here !

[@wallflwr_]

Thankyou for sharing! I've heard from a lot of people in situations similar to yours, so trust me you're not alone. Everyone hates their beats and music the day after, I guarantee it. I call it "post beat clarity". Don't focus on the future, remove external pressures, just capture yourself and the moment in your music. This isn't advice for how to be successful because God knows I know nothing about that. This is about loving what you're doing in the moment, expressing yourself, and if you get good enough to capture how you feel in a moment, it's a beautiful thing to listen back on. I love creating as a hobby because I can go back to something like our twenty//20 album and recognise all the feelings and situations I went through were real, but also how far I've grown from them. Maybe it's not about making something other people think is good or you think is good, maybe it's just about making something. Food for thought

[@userlillu]

this video was genuinely so fun to watch

[@wallflwr_]

Hey if you don't make any music, at least you got something out of it

This video came across my YT feed at a really crucial time for me. Drowning in that ~misery~ and finding any excuse to not engage with something I love in case I taint that too. But reminding myself that what I make can just be for me and myself, and that other people are also just being silly and making music in their bedrooms and just being proud of what they've made and getting all excited about it is really encouraging. Keep up the good work and never stop creating ! ! !

[@foxliasgriffinYT]

ive tried thinking of music in my head but it always sounded like an existing song also idk how to use any program, this very inspiring vid

[@wallflwr_]

Laying it all down in a program let's you explore the directions you can or want to pull a song you stole. You can kind of see it in the video, I start with some piano that I rearrange and start pushing somewhere else, I take the lyrics of another song and start pushing that melody and the harmonies to somewhere I enjoy more. It's all good if it sounds similar to something else, we all stand on the shoulders of giants

There's an artist acclaimed by Indie fans named Phil Elverum (aka The Microphones and Mount Eerie) who just kept making shit and releasing it and he got better and better. Someone asked him in a Q&A how much of his music he regretted releasing, to which the artist said "most of it", but the man made a cult classic just a few years into his musical endeavors (The Glow, Pt 2, released 2001) yet still releases music to this day and has many dedicated fans. Point is, just learn and bullshit your way through, and you can make a masterpiece if you go at it long enough.

great video! ive been struggling to make any music because i compare myself to literally everyone else except myself and i can't grow because of it. its often so toxic that i can't even begin to make anything

[@wallflwr_]

Comparison is the thief of joy. If you're having troubles comparing yourself to others and not liking that you're not at that level, telling you to stop that probably wouldn't be helpful. What I do is take that energy to learn, grow, be inspired. Instead of "why isn't my music as good as theirs" (*ahem* brakence), it's realising that I love these artists and their music because it's true to them. I wouldn't love other artists like verzache and novo amor if they all sounded like brakence. And from that point, I don't compare, I steal the parts I like, I steal what I'm capable of until I'm a collage of all these other peoples techniques and my own experiences and voice. You eventually become so different, you'll realise that you can't compare yourself to them in the same way you wouldn't compare an apple to flex tape. If you liked the music in this video and our spotify, that's all it is. Hope this helps.

[@wallflwr_]

Definitely a whole ass journey though

[@GDLlama]

[@CamelliaFlingert]

i spent 4 years watching many guides and videos about music programs, was trying to figure out something by myself just clicking everywhere in these programs, but i just couldn't learn even the most basic things after all this time, how i'm supposed to make music if i'm unable to do it? i may want to do it, but i just can't intellectually also my brain is completely empty and i can't generate any ideas and have zero creativity and imagination (i have aphantasia as well), so even if i somehow managed to acquire some skills to make music - i wouldn't be able to apply these skills anyhow, same happened with me in art already, i managed to acquire the skills i never could dream of, but in the end i just were unable to generate anything and come up with anything, i can function only as AI (i need input from outside, like, for example i need the other person to tell me to draw something, basically all the creativity and imagination should be on someone else shoulders, not mine)

[@wallflwr_]

First of all, thankyou for sharing that. I think I can relate in some ways and others may relate too. If you think about it, making music is taking the entire spectrum of frequencies people can hear, and individually affecting every single one to arrange something that would somehow meet some standard we could call music (which is different to everyone btw). The task of starting is gargantuan when you put it like that, but I don't believe it to be an inherent trait of anybody to "want to make music but being intellectually incapable". Its hard, it's confusing, and it's so much at once. I understand your frustration. There's not much advise I can give you around that, but I'm working on a tutorial for people in your similar situation because I've given people the mindset and drive to make music with this video, but I've kinda sent them off a cliff without wings.

[@wallflwr_]

Secondly, you cannot create in a vacuum. Creating something is inherently an expression of yourself, and by extension based on things you've heard and seen or been prompted with. There is absolutely no shame in gathering inspiration from outside sources, I literally say to steal in the video. I am shameless because I know other artists are shameless too. You steal enough from the things only you could have lived through, a combination of things only you could enjoy, then how could somebody say that the things you create aren't yours?

[@CamelliaFlingert]

@@wallflwr_ see, you're implying that i'm in vacuum when i've heard dozens of THOUSANDS of tracks, hundreds of different artists from any possible genres and subgenres, i've listened to THOUSANDS of the albums, and then you're saying i haven't put enough in my brain, you seems to not understand what's my problem.

[@wallflwr_]

It's LABS, because LABS is the goat

[@TheAniwatt]

Wait how do you only have 780 subs

[@wallflwr_]

Bro please don't ask me I had 80 subs before this I have no idea what's happening pls help

[@Abnerxdlol]

real

[@wallflwr_]

A video of the non-fictional variety

[@DouggieReal]

How do I post music on Spotify? nice video btw

[@wallflwr_]

distrokid, ditto, plenty online. We use distro but I wouldn't even know if I'd recommend it, its just the first one we saw

[@Karairoo]

What if i dont listen to mainstream genres???

[@wallflwr_]

You can still do covers. If it's something like idm you'll just have to recreate the beat yourself and it'll be harder but still doable. Depends on how obscure the genre is ig

[@MikeCoreBeats]

Do be loving music frfr

[@wallflwr_]

It's the only thing I'm good at

[@EvanG.]

The remix at the end reminds me of Powfu

[@wallflwr_]

There's another artist on Spotify called wallflwr. I think the guy in this video kinda sounds like them

[@Toni-mj3zz]

Is it also possible to make music with just a guitar or a piano cos im kinda broke for equipment

[@wallflwr_]

If you've got a phone with a mic, then yes. Again, it may not be studio quality but it can still be nice to listen to. You can also mix it with fl studio mobile if you wanna go more in depth, and then keep on learning from there

[@wallflwr_]

I could make an acoustic Clairo type song with just my phone and guitar for example. Great place to start

[@Toni-mj3zz]

What daw do u use? And is it free by any chance?

[@wallflwr_]

I use fl, and there is a trial version that is free to get you started. There's also other ways to obtain it which I will not explicitly state, but there are also just other free programs like garageband that'll work while you're learning the basics

[@superigg_]

the old one kinda go hard too tho

[@wallflwr_]

Yeah but we don't talk about it anymore since the new version came out

[@tinywest]

haha i love that 6 year old remix

[@wallflwr_]

Thankyou, it had definitely expired before I remixed it

[@glitched7698]

do you have to have a naturally good voice to sing or can anyone do it with practice and learning?

[@wallflwr_]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH no. I suck I just cope with production and auto tune. I was really really bad when I first started but I listened to a lot of underground soundcloud artists who DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SING and that gave me confidence. If you wanna hear how bad my singing was only a few years ago, look up "empathy" by wallflwr. On Spotify. It's so bad it's not attached to our main spotify page.

[@inkyowo5501]

Tbh the veil over the cap is a fire fit and im gonna steal that for a character design

@@wallflwr_your cover at the end felt rlly good to listen to with headphones, i need this as an 8D audio

[@wallflwr_]

Full things on soundscloud if you're interested, definitely one of my favs

[@jachrishalt]

[@jachrishalt]

@@wallflwr_ would be awesome, cool video btw

[@wallflwr_]

WU XGA VPL - FH36. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it though it was literally the only one at cashconverters

[@_k.]

anime jumpscare :/

[@wallflwr_]

boo.

[@Ghost_noh]

Im a music producer i want to Rap/Sing one day

[@wallflwr_]

Unless you are looking for a cure to muteism, I don't understand why you can't just rap/sing over your beats today. You don't have to record it or anything, but start somewhere

[@wallflwr_]

I actually just made my first rap song yday as a fun lil side tangent, maybe I'll put it on the discord once it's mixed. We can learn rapping together

[@Ghost_noh]

@@wallflwr_ i would love to join your discord, and i guess i should start writing lmaoo

[@wallflwr_]

[@sudeeeeeeep]

[@sudeeeeeeep]

@@wallflwr_ studied brakence sm can recognise it from anywhere 🤣😋anyways bro sick song if u open for collab or something it will be even sicker haha

[@wallflwr_]

Always down to make stuff, jump in the discord and we'll see if we can work something out
