How To ACTUALLY Finish Your Songs (NO MORE UNFINISHED DEMOS)

[@danielslovak827]

You make finishing your songs look easy peasy lemon squeezy, but over here it's more like stressy, depressy, lemon zesty 😭😂

[@johnlenz420]

i decided to make a list of songs to put on album from the past couple years.. after 50 i had to stop the list and feel overwhelmed lol

[@mariaytinexposer]

[@Rythameen]

I just just switched from Pro Tools to Cubase 13. I saw your demo projects and looked you up. After watching your channel I have finished 3 songs.Yet another great video.. Thanks!

[@tylergrant4196]

good job!

[@DanielAlbertson1994]

On the real though, there’s people charge $80+ for less information than what you just gave away in 20 minutes thank you for your channel and always being a genuine dude.

[@mehdiamar1056]

Dear Austin @Make Pop Music you’re an amazing professional ! Your videos are the most interesting I have ever seen! You are such an inspiration !

[@shawnlemont9102]

I’ve never watched a MPM Video and not been inspired to create something. Love this channel so much.

[@ghostoryx1623]

literal gold, always love tuning in

[@danielm.5846]

It's so motivating to hear that you're not alone with the struggle of finishing stuff! Thanks so much for the energy boost 😊

[@matchmediafilms]

So helpful Austin! You videos are packed full of the magic that creates hits! Thanks for sharing so consistently. We start tracking Vox tomorrow on our new Preamp and Mic! Can’t wait, Cubase is our beast😊 as well!

[@cailand0]

the first video i’ve watched from you was the how to make a pop song video with two sided mind and since then, you have inspired me so much to try new things and not give up on producing. thank you sm austin truly

[@stevedemetrious6454]

Thanks so much for putting this video out Austin! I struggle with this constantly. I’m always trying to throw down creative ideas as they come and they are just stacking up in an incompletion folder 📂

[@dereksimke9117]

No matter how you slice it- there’s no substitute for hard work. But the good news is that the more you do it, the easier it gets to develop those ideas. Thanks for the tips Austin!

[@dmitrygreenberg3364]

Every word here is pure gold. It takes a special skill to laser-focus on the things that really matter and explain them so clearly and eloquently in just one short video. Thank you Austin, brilliant as always!

[@parabot2]

As usual your hitting it out of the park , much appreciated .

[@mnw_mo]

I’m starting to get into pop, from Hiphop and all my friends and family are tellin me they are my best songs! I’m loving it so far

[@marcusbishop8936]

One of the most refreshing music producers on KZbin 🙌🏻🫶

[@manthematiks]

Man your content is gold.. these tips are such game changers!

[@thelegacy_music]

I love your ability to articulate concepts, techniques, and practices so well. Your videos are always so insightful and full of knowledge. Thank you!

[@FRENDMUSICUK]

I really like your workflow using all these tips, and the positive results are so many great songs out there. Boom!

[@Jeremiah_Hernandez]

This video helps a lot thanks Austin! This has been a problem of mine for a while now this is going to help me so much in the future keep it up man You're helping so many producers!!

[@r.w.6938]

Thanks for making this Austin! Just recently joined the masterclass community, and I’ve gotten a lot out of the education you’ve put out here so far. This video covers a topic more producers (myself included) need to be more self-aware about. Thanks for everything!

[@MZKVmusic]

I never set deadlines since I just make stuff as a hobby and I currently have more than 10 tracks just sitting there for months thinking I will do something more. Setting deadlines will probably help with this if I can stick with it. Good info as always!

[@neveradmitdefeat5751]

Istg you're a psychic because you always upload the perfect video when I need it...

[@kelly.householder]

Austin, again, another great video. I just found your channel, but man, you deserve to have many more subscribers. You provide great help and information.

[@thejessesliger]

Tip 5 is life changing man. I have been chained to my backlog of songs thinking that finishing meant “don’t start anything new until you finish everything else first.” I got better at managing my time but trying to go back and clean up my messes and figure out how to finish old poorly managed ideas has had me stuck for a bit. Thank you!

[@MattCarmel]

I love what you do! Definetly a role model for my musical career.

[@NickRStewart50]

Hey! I just want you to know I really love your content! I honestly appreciate everything you do and you should keep in making great stuff!

[@stacyromain7977]

I find your videos so helpful for someone starting music production. This video is exactly what I needed to get to work !

[@t.r.guitar]

Thank you for the tips dude! This video coming out right after the Bilmuri one has got the creativity flowing 🤘

[@Simsomsss]

Austin single-handedly helping all of us again

[@mahrow6293]

Been following for a while now. It's amazing to see how the quality increases by every video ;-)

[@mcraemusic]

Great content 🙏 thank you

[@Tindkvist]

Great video with a relevant topic! I sometimes make a manifest where I decide on a certain list of instruments for the recording or specific plugins for the mixing part just to maintain the vibe or sound I want. It also helps me get things done when I won’t have to bother or get distracted looking for plugins with the loooong list of plugs in my daw. Make a template with the preferred instruments and effects for an EP or album to maintain the artistic goal for that project! It helps me finish songs!

[@robertokochert5098]

Love the weekly grind! ❤

[@adammur96]

Thanks for all your helpful videos Austin! They've allowed me to grow as an artist! 🙏

[@brunoteixeira5912]

Hi Austin, great topic! Thanks a lot for bringing it up & inspire to get things done

[@fredokastens1955]

Thanks for the gems, always learning someting new! keep it up ✅✅

[@alexjacxsens5134]

Love your content and the enthusiastic way of pitching it!

[@mystikrebel1089]

Turns up when I was saying I need to finish my songs. Thanks Austin

[@grantgilmoreofficial]

You help me a lot with composition - and I really appreciate that. Especially your video on lyric writing!

[@Orangettv]

Needed this vid! Thanks for all the content you make dude

[@yanivzoie7850]

thanks, Austin. This is one of the most important videos you've posted.

[@patrickmotto2319]

Very cool advice, thanks man!

[@missoats8731]

At this point I have thousands of unfinished songs and hop on to the next one everytime before the last is done. So this video is really what I needed. Especially the idea of knowing what to do with a particular song.

[@tommorton7211]

I never realized the importance of having a place for the song to go until this video. I tend to work on one song at a time so often the motivation to finish is so I can work on something else!

[@johanleion]

Dang you're just providing so much stellar content! Thanks for this!

[@mitzthegamer]

Always wanted to try your packs bro . Amazing video like always

[@GirishHothur]

Greetings from India,Thank you for doing this every week,learning a lot from you,looking forward for more and yeah been listening to your podcast too,keep them coming 😀

[@paulkeiter6004]

Love your videos! Thanks for all the great tips!

[@rudolphdandelion6840]

15:20 please do that. It’s very interesting how you analyze the songs and can recreate the vibe so well!

[@snoopydeville2714]

I agree💯

[@codymarsden]

Lots of good gems and recommendations! Being intentional goes a long way!

[@adityakumawat3203]

I am learning a lot through your videos recently. Great content 👍👍👍

[@hunterheurich5882]

I'm so glad you covered this topic. I have too many song ideas that end up in the demo graveyard because "perfection" gets in the way. Btw, I'd love to see a video about producing a song like slenderbodies. Their new album is outstanding!

[@alextxrk]

Thank you for the endless inspo my guy, love your vids!!

[@WilfredVersteeg]

Hello Austin, first of all I like to thank you for your great video’s. I’ve learned a lot from you and yesterday I finished for the first time a song and it sounds great to me 😅. Every friday I’m curious to see what I can learn from you! With kind regards from the Netherlands.

[@IHNTDRN]

This video comes just at the right time. I have an idea but somehow delaying. Gonna use all these tips and finish it up within a few days :D

[@josuamuller4543]

love these tips actually I always struggle with finishing Songs and I will definitely try these thank you

[@ecorduna]

Nice video!! Informative! You mentioned pitching it to labels, artists and whatnot. Do you have a video of how to pitch demos? What to do with rejected demos, where to pitch and stuff like that? I send out demos as well, but it would be cool to see your process.

[@robertsimpson5801]

Great points, Austin! Keep the advice coming!

[@alejandrolopez1652]

Some of the best tips out there, thnks man!

[@peterrostgaardbojesen5790]

Cool stuff Austin. One of the hardest things is finishing songs.

[@PERRYmusicofficial]

This gives me so much perspective on how to improve my work flow. Thanks so much🙏

[@edenisthebeginning]

I’d been doing some of these things subconsciously without paying so much attention to them😅, now I’m going to start doing them with more intention. Thanks for the great tips Austin!❤

[@chinazoonwukaike8076]

Super helpful! That next step has always felt elusive

[@jenssieckmann]

#5 and #8 are my favorite ones. Overthinking and overcomplicating are part of perfectionism.

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Indeed! I wanted to mention the same too. #7 is slowly creeping in these days due to time limitations, busy life, distractions, etc. I really need to get more intentional with my active listening habit, like I used to few years back.

[@jdjdjddjdjdjd8765]

I started to follow your videos after I found some tutorials on how to make songs for The Weeknd. Funny enough, yesterday I was struggling to finish my beat and I was so frustrated and now you appeared on my fyp. Interesting enough :)))

[@tobionekenobi9101]

Another great tutorial from the best!

[@TheHansen01]

Great video! Your focus on getting the skeleton of the song down asap reminds me of the Six Rules for the Aspiring Writer by the great American author, John Steinbeck. Rule #2 in particular: "Write freely and as rapidly as possible and throw the whole thing on paper. Never correct or rewrite until the whole thing is down. Rewrite in process is usually found to be an excuse for not going on. It also interferes with flow and rhythm which can only come from a kind of unconscious association with the material."

[@Something.JeremyMusic]

I swear man it’s like you can hear my daily thoughts! This gave my life clarity! 🤘

[@pipipermusic]

Great videos dude, love your content

[@AleZayas]

Tip 5 is some tough love right there. I needed to hear it, honestly.

[@jirkamusic]

Love this type of content!

[@SchleimerComics]

Great video, I really needed that!

[@csmartin308]

I find so much value on you channel.

[@MinhDucDoo]

Waiting for your video about active listening 🎉 Thanks Austin

[@大頭三家姐]

Great video! I used to have a target to release at least one song per month on my KZbin channel. Thanks for the reminder, so I’ll go back to setting up deadlines and release targets for myself. 😄

[@emilymarmermusic]

Always inspired to create after I watch your videos, thank you!!

[@jairsanchez1135]

Great video as always. Much love from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@cameronbenton2204]

Thank you so much for your transparency. It really blessed me and I feel less alone. I pray that the Lord continues to bless you. I also pray that the seeds that you have sown will produce an amazing harvest soon ❤.

[@רועישפירא-ב1ס]

The goat inspires us as usual 🥶

[@joshkacperski722]

Needed this one. Thank you bro

[@Fraend]

I found out that set actual deadlines is crucial. in my case if I get a client that need something written or a mix, having a deadline is super worth and force you to close that in any case

[@SharifulIslammusic]

Love your vids man, quality content

[@andreins]

this is so helpful even just to hear from another person, so thanks Austin!
