BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS EVERY MUSIC PRODUCER NEEDS TO KNOW

[@BrandonRico]

You always provide such great value in your vlogs. Thanks

[@andreybobrovskyy3994]

You're tips are always make sense thx)

[@kallelaakso130]

You hit the point perfectly there. Starting producers really want to get some basic knowledge about for example compositional stuff and moods of different kinds of progressions but they only get that fancy stuff. Ah hard to explain :D

[@Jonsine]

thank you :)

[@gurtana]

This is great production. That synth and guitar sound was great.

[@Jonsine]

thank you

[@phil9406]

As everyday: nice Vlog! It will be nice to see your new video equipment in one of the next Vlog. I'm taking driving lessons right now for my driving license and today I was on the freeway once more and i totally agree, it's a lot of fun. But it's quite stressful when it's dark outside and everyone wants to be at home as fast as possible and don't care about the rules.

[@Jonsine]

thank you good luck with your lessons.

[@vollnot]

Thank you for the advice!

[@Jonsine]

your welcome

[@dwhittle]

That's not a beanie, it's a tuque! Enjoyed the video as always!

[@Safari623]

How much time do you spend on automation, EQing, etc. in comparison to making melodies & drums? Very helpful tips!

[@Jonsine]

hard to answer. it really depends on the track I spend most time mixing and thinking about the track and the general direction reflecting a lot my ideas eqing automating and everything else is done fairly quick

[@Ry0MaNiA]

ha plötzlich hör ich meine Muttersprache - lustig :D Danke für's Video

[@Jonsine]

hahah ja ab und an gehts auch mal auf deutsch weiter :)

[@reddeasybee]

Do you use the same piano vst in your tracks?

[@Jonsine]

yes almost always the grandeur from NI

[@victornevares]

I have been watching your channel for a while, found some interesting videos and for this i am grateful man, thanks but without wanting to be annoying, i have some points to make! Producing methods and technics can be very subjective depending on the final objective, i found that those tips are great for begginers, but not necessary absolute truths, i disagree about the layering and the minimalist aproach, depends on the genre you are producing, i produce psytrance therefore, there's gonna be a lot of layers, and yes, is more difficult to mix but not impossible, it's a different mindset! And i also disagree with the bus routing, it is extremely useful if you know what you are doing, depending on how you handle everything can change the sound dramatically and i can't live without it, it helps me glue things together. Anyway, cheers from Brazil!

[@Jonsine]

your right layering and routing is helpful this video is more for beginners that have never finished a track and start routing stuff instead of focusing on the more important things same for layering some try to rescue their synth sounds with it but I think the main sound should be already good.

[@TheBackwasher]

How do you need a lot of lead layers in psytrance ?

[@victornevares]

Jon Sine Agree on that, we should always focus in getting the most out of the main sound.

[@victornevares]

TheBackwasher It depends on the vibe, not like a rule or formula, sometimes it can be minimalist as well, but there is a tendency to maximalism in the psytrance genres that I like to produce, with several elements, some tracks have up to 150 tracks, of course it does not play all at the same time, but it is a lot of layers, not necessary in the same melody or structure.

[@Tunemood]

I couldn't watch the Autobahn, 😳 gave me anxiety, but if we had this in the states it would eliminate lots of idiots much faster, hahaha, am only kidding, your a brave man. Thanks so much for this episode, I unfortunately fell into the "must layer, compress and obsess" hole, you cleared up the reason as to why my drafts sounded better than my mixed versions, lol ugh, You rock!

[@billmarandi9125]

Is it compulsary to use protools in future or logic pro coz in that case i might have to upgrade to Mac Osx HackinTosh.I Use Cubase primary for my music production for abt 3 months and Run it in my friends Laptop with i7 4gb ram dell windows.I decided to buy a laptop instead of pc for myself for portability, later in future when i will setup my own studio i would go for Big system.So the laptop which i am going for has top end configuration..i7 7th gen+16 gb ram+256 gb ssd+ Necessary ports+faster graphics.So can i go for it for my music production???

[@DiegoEsc99]

can you tell us what type of things you automate that could be really helpful for us😉

[@Jonsine]

cutoff usually or reverbs will make a video about it

[@DiegoEsc99]

Jon Sine thanks jon you are the best =)

[@marcobiraghi]

the only thing you are missing is recording audio and video directly from your computer

[@Jonsine]

yeah working on it.

[@housestyle1840]

Hey thank you so much for your these helpful videos for a music producer ! I just wanna ask you a question about drum loops.When i make my drum loops,i put clap to 2 and 4 as usual :) and i want to hear my claps clear,obvious.But they are clashing with kick drums and if my kick drum at -7db when claps hit my master fader hits at -4db so i lost -3 db at my master.Do you have a special process about this ? Limiting drum buss before you send it to your master channel ? Or you don't care about it ? Cheers ;)

[@Jonsine]

you could try moving the clap a few milliseconds to the front so that the attack hits slightly before the kick. if you make it right this might help with the mixing and it'll still sound if they hit together could also improve the grove of the track

[@housestyle1840]

Thanks Jon ,i generally put claps few milliseconds before the kick.But they still make the fader louder when they hit together.So it's normal then.I'm trying to gain a headroom at master to make my track louder.But i think you avoid limiting drums ,it's killing the dynamics.

[@tylerin3d134]

Todays Vlog was awesome! Very informational but also quite entertaining! But.. isn't it a bit dangerous having no speed limit!?

[@voynich7825]

Tyler Shields Yup. They hope people are intelligent enough...

[@Jonsine]

thank you. it seems to work in Germany not a lot of accidents. most people also do not drive that fast 130 to 160 is the normal speed people drive at but there also guys maxing out their Ferraris :)

[@voynich7825]

Jon Sine Well i'm 15 and we don't own a car, if we need one we rent one or use a car-sharing service, but my parents are always raging when people drive too fast xD

[@andrewrichardsuk]

Schnell schnell kartoffel kopf!

[@andrewrichardsuk]

My attempt at German 😄

[@Jonsine]

hahah nice :)

[@delijica]

Dude, you have to chill those hand moves, it's often very distracting and annoying..everything else about your videos is great😃 Cheers

[@bobboberson40]

You should listen to this guy's terrible generic music before you take his advice. Do you really want your music to sound like that?
