Music Production is Not Mixing and Writing

FACTS

[@afrohawk]

The best thing a bedroom producer can do to evaluate their track with a Producer mindset is to listen to the track while working or otherwise occupied. The track will sound totally different, I promise. Playing the whole track and then repeating the listening process is equally valid here because it keeps you from looping a section (easily, anyways). You have to walk through the whole track again, noticing and re noticing. I find that this is when the Idea of the track may, for the first time, become truly apparent to the bedroom producer. From there, the vision can be modified in the studio. Rinse and repeat as needed. Great video. Great channel.

[@synthsoniq]

Yes. This. I agree 100%. My favorite thing to do is to go for a drive and have my track playing normally in the background as if it's on Pandora / SiriusXM. Even better, I'll put someone else's track that I like first in a playlist, and my track next, and just cruise in the car. If the two songs blend nicely, things are going in the right direction.

[@Invisible-Rhino]

especially if you have the patience to put things on a back-shelf and only release things that make it back from there.,.,.,

[@jibberism9910]

Interesting idea.

[@JulianHarris]

Totally. I now have the discipline of doing a bounce after every session which I then listen away from my studio. I might be walking or cooking, I might listen to it downstairs in my living room or on my iPhone and I sometimes share these early cuts with friends. The keywords here are objectivity and strategy. Also, I will regularly take a break from one piece and switch to another that also helps with objectivity and strategy. The hardest thing can be the decision to take away things. One track I had had an entire section removed which a family member recommended and that was uncountable hours of work thrown away but was fit the best, and another time in my own experience, I removed the very things that the track started with as the piece had moved in a completely new direction. The objectivity means it’s harder to be attached to the effort, as your video talks about.

[@ghost-user559]

I have an old copy of iTunes specifically for making a playlist of all current tracks. At first it’s obviously just a few songs that get repeated in a short session. As the track count grows, the playlist reaches hours in length and then I turn on shuffle. Every time I notice something out of place in the mix or arrangement, or something that is really good, I take a mental note. All of these mix notes culminate after 100 or so hours listening to the playlist in the background, and then I go back and refine all the rough mixes and apply the notes. Then the playlist starts again for a “final mix”, and then finally a “Master Playlist”. By mixing all the tracks as one “playlist” it keeps the mixes consistent across albums, because they all flow as one giant compilation.

[@thevengefulsalt]

Dude THANK YOU, seriously! I feel like such an idiot for not knowing this. I've seen that exact clip of Rick Rubin saying that he doesn't understand the technical side of things and doesn't play an instrument, not knowing that the word "Producer" is used as an umbrella term in this modern era of music making. Initially when I saw that clip, I figured what Rick Rubin was saying was that he doesn't mix anything in the box and- he's obviously an older gentleman- so he must just be an analog guy and that's what he meant by that. Nope. He's an actual PRODUCER. Makes sense why I keep writing songs and filling up my hard drive with project after project and never ever actually forming any complete ideas/concepts and finishing any songs/albums. TLDR: This whole time I've thought I was a producer; turns out, I need a producer!

[@DespaceMan]

If you're a bedroom creator & producer the two most important words are *Compare Compare Compare Reference Reference Reference*

[@gabrielmarks154]

These videos give me so much motivation and hope. I appreciate everything you do for the producers all over the world, especially newbies like me. It makes me have a clearer vision on how to approach things and also makes me realize that patience is key and to not stress the little things. If it sounds good, it sounds good! No overthinking, just doing what feels right in the context of the track and the journey I want to take listeners on. Thank you B!

[@flaflu82]

You are awesome. I learn a lot with you. And I'm not even a music maker!

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Learning to zoom in and sculpt the details then zoom out and see the big picture is good advice Ive heard!

[@longline]

I appreciate the clarification. It's what in publishing would be called an editor, or rather, a good editor.

[@synthsoniq]

Great video. For the track's "destination", I like to use a similar process to using a reference track for mixing. I'll pick 3 or 4 piano house tracks that I like, or 3 or 4 synthwave tracks, and my goal will be to create my own original track in a similar style, using those other tracks as a reference point along the way. If I check mine half-way through creating it and I hear that it no longer sounds anything like the reference tracks, I can use those tracks to help steer my track back in the right direction.

[@unfortunato]

Thanks mate, you've taught me a bit here. I appreciate the positive attitude you take here, going as far as to defend ghost producing. Awesome take and something I'll keep in the back of my head for sure from now on.

[@sebrosamusic]

Another great video! Also, I totally agree with the value of feedback from someone who isn’t into music making, often those people notice or even persuade the whole track in the totally different way!

[@yamahakimi138]

Thank you! Great explanation.. and what a nice, chill track playing in the background 😀

[@axdambient]

i'm gonna start giving my friend credit as a producer because he listens to my stuff and tells me it sucks because its doesnt have a girl singing sad shit

[@julianmorrisco]

Like many things that have not been good for the recording industry, this misuse of the term ‘producer’ can be laid at the feet of the audio engineering schools that sprung up in the 90s. At the time there were maybe 60 job openings worldwide in the big studios, basically the only places you could make a living wage as an engineer. But there were 60,000 students graduating each year. Usually bright eyed and bushy tailed kids whose parents had the money to help pay for Tom Misner’s next Porsche. Some of them had a lot of talent. Some did not. But towards the end of the decade as the internet started to take hold in the non techy world, these students and prospective students started to realise the maths didn’t add up. Uncoincidentally, around that time the lone creator started to call themselves a producer. It seemed like a promotion from engineer, especially when the traditional engineer role was shrinking to a handful of boomers as established pop and rock stars wanted to record things the old fashioned way but nobody else could afford it. The superstar DJ thing muddied the water a little bit too, although the idea that DJs had to do any more than twiddle a few knobs and spin a few discs on the technical side hadn’t yet happened. So they were closer to the traditional producer role and added value at the overview level, where a producer belongs. Back to the schools - around 2004 I started noticing a lot of young engineers were big on the ‘woo’. Silly beliefs and magical thinking. Not all, but these schools seemed to be a hotbed of this nonsense. Engineers traditionally fought to maintain the science and technological basis of their title and had the biggest bullshit detectors in the industry. But as the term engineer seemed to fade and everyone became a producer the grip on reality needed by the person operating seriously complex machinery went away as the machinery did .

[@Cayman90]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I started with making electronic music, and this helps a lot!

[@revlow]

This is genuine and happens to any solo artist, you’ll struggle at one of these things or it’ll be weaker. For me, I can start ideas well, arrange them well, mix them and even master. But I struggle to go back and objectively view and change ideas. Or build beyond what I initially create. It’s like the blinkers come on and I can’t hear where a lead would be good, or ear candy, etc. so I have to make sure i have that in my first ideas. Having someone else come in and do that works well, and one collab i did recent that’s exactly how they took the track further. Definitely something to contemplate here.

[@markarnesen991]

Thank you for that! It's by far the best overall music tip I'v seen.

[@sargeant1hundred]

Didn't Prince once ask a friend what he had to do to sell as many records as Michael Jackson? The friend suggested "get Quincy Jones to produce your records". Prince was offended by the suggestion and replied "I produce my own records".

[@Bthelick]

Yes. Well prince is probably one of only 5 people in the history of the planet to successfully self produce at that level.

[@AleCeverino]

Great tip, reminds me of Edward de Bono's book, Thinking Hats. I think that is a bit of the path that art is taking at this time, self-sufficiency as a way of bringing things to life, in the most competitive current context possible, everyone has something to say, although it is not always known exactly what say or how, if individualism is the paradigm of this era, everyone will do the best they can, without anyone giving a damn about it. Well, here we are, thinking, the biggest sin these days.

[@AlexFrischmuth]

Great insights as always! Keep doing what you do best

[@musicalvisions]

There is a point of clairaudience bringing melodies and soundscapes deriving directly into and through an artist's mind, spirit, and soul through human creative expression that modern AI does not contain any of - and never has - in the decades long history of AI used in music generation.

[@jibberism9910]

I am way too green to have a take. But I think it makes sense. I am trying to blow life into my writings with an attempt at music. Naturally, I could never wear all those hats and be good at it. But the writings and inspiration came from the heart, and I will keep trying to achieve that one acceptable mix for them all.

[@JH-lo9ut]

I can't think of a better example than Rick Rubin, who claims he can't play a single instrument, doesn't know any music theory, but has producer's credit on a number of amazing albums from a pretty wide range of genres. Rubin is just a guy who loves music and has a very good ear for what works and what doesn't. Besides, he seems to tickle the creative nerve of the artists he works with, as well as being able to express musical ideas in a very accessible way. I don't know if you can learn the craft from Rick Rubin though, because it seems to be all intuition.

[@erikbosgra1775]

So nice to listen to your knowledge. By the way: I love the music in the background 🧡🔥

Everything you explained is me 😂 I write a song doubt myself so I add more to the track then my misses comes in and says" there's to much going on make it simple " and then I loose my s#%t have a think and then take stuff out and Yes !!! She was right ha my mixes became easier ,cleaner and less complex so my misses is my quincy 😂 great video BTW it makes alot of sense for me personally thankyou

[@stighelmer1265]

Any chance we will see some 2 Step, Jungle or other UK related genre videos? Would love to see you break down some old Ninja Tune or Goldie tracks. Music creation has changed so much since the early days of tracking, sampling and the use of hardware synths so its really interesting to see the differences compared to today through the lens of someone with your knowledge.

[@zee8977]

I honestly love your videos bro, please make a video on how to make music in the style of Morgan seatree

[@typemismatch2712]

i try to have technical knowledge, but up to a certain point. My technical knowledge must support my creativity. A lot of people nowadays confuse knowing technical things and being creative. There has been a race in certain styles who is the most technical, but i try to think out of the box with plugins, what can i do with it in a way it was not intended to be used. creativity is thinking outside all these things. i see very much people getting into a sort of tunnel vision about making music, because of all production tutorials that are on the net. A lot of these "production" influencers have one real incentive, that is making money. I do not care about someone telling me this kick is good and the other is not. I only use a DAW for recording. I cannot deal with the endless possibilities in these programs, im more the give-me-some-limitations guy. i make music on hardware and record it into ableton. That whole defining of writers, producers etc, comes more from an older studio setting, especially with bands etc. I think the term producer is right, because its just semantics. Recording writing etc engineering comes from a time when people could only get good recordings if you where on a big label that had its own studios. Nowadays these differences have faded somewhat because of technical development. I think electronic music did somewhat break that recording tradition, and you got the dj/producer. I find it to be a sad thing that production nowadays has less value for artists. Everybody wants to be a dj, and when you need some own tracks, there are a lot of possibilities to fix that. My heart is in the music making and dj'ing i only began with that 10 years later.

I don't agree we NEED a producer or EVERY track better with a producer, but i agree we need a revision of work done by someone, even yoursefl.

[@aliceberethart]

Something i do is i stop listening to the track for about a day or two. Then i come back and play it through a car radio or a bad phone device, preferably both stereo and mono if i can. Next time i hear the track in my headphones, i start hearing things that should be changed.

[@LC.123]

Absolute fantastic work. Could you tell us bedroom producers when is the time to start sending songs to record labels or start publishing on our own?

[@Bthelick]

Imo, If you have no reputation yet , or vast amounts of money, then a record label can't help you with either. With 200,000 tracks released every day , it's taking big labels over 2 million to break an artist today , and they simply aren't bothering. They'd rather sign someone on the back of a viral tiktok trend than try to break an artist themselves it's too risky. So you gotta go solo, but that's always better imo. You get to build a real fan base not a fake one, you get to control your rights not a corporation , and you get to keep all the revenue not 10%. It's tough, and slow, but far more sustainable and less restrictive. I've seen deals from indie record labels recently offering $50 for 25 years of full ownership or 80%. And all they will do is throw it up on their channels and some playlists that are full of bots because they've never curated or cared about curating a genuine audience. In terms of when. Start releasing tomorrow. Seriously just start. There's a lot to learn about everything way beyond the music itself, not just releasing either, there's also branding, story telling, etc. But regardless having your tracks out there in front of real people is more feedback than you'll ever get from a record label a&r!

[@Ravix0fFourHorn]

Producer is basically someone with great music taste, and DJ's are great at it because they know what works and what doesnt in the dancefloor. I wonder if you have any insight on who sets the trends or picks what genres are the "current thing".

[@Bthelick]

It's a great question. Physical movements in culture used to set the trends but now there's strange things happening online. What dictates a genre trend (short term at least) can be as simple as how many pretty girls and boys are dancing to it on tiktok! Fundamental tribal behaviours haven't changed but now we have this in parallel too. I'm no expert sorry.

[@dr.strawberry5773]

i find that rick rubin rubs people the wrong way because he's so humble, also mystical about it. but really, if you hear him, he's just saying "i help people get to the root of their brand and how to express that, i don't get in the way, i trim and facilitate." which is much harder than it seems. these days people tend to conflate producing sounds with producing a PRODUCT. in the great irony of today's autonomy, we are able to do everything ourselves so fast and so little cost that the blessing became a curse, suddenly, whilst being the engineer, session musician, arranger, artist for the cover, we could not dare having somebody give us notes on what to remove, what to change, who is this supposed to be speaking to. there is this great opposition between "well i do what i want, surely some people will have a taste similar as mine and will appreciate it" and "i have to find my people or else i will be in my bedroom forever"

[@atmodiver]

Я так и не понял мысль автора.Да процесс создания музыки в тории правильно разделить.Но в современных реалиях вся индустрия идёт к тому,что запись будет на дому.Так в чем проблема? Знаете если бы не было информации как создавать музыку то было бы сложнее,а так всё есть в открытом доступе.Но качество от этого всё равно не выросло.И пробиться в музыке сейчас нереально совсем.Рынок уже полон хорошими записями.Подумайте лучше над тем как быть оригинальными.

[@Bthelick]

Author's idea; Making music is not the same as production. Home or big studio does not matter. Originality is still important and that decision is part of production , but it is not the whole idea. Production is the larger decisions made outside of the music and engineering that make the music translate to the real world.

[@yeezythabest]

This is why people who make fun of DJ Khaled don't understand what exactly he is doing. He's a great producer in the original sense.

[@BurnBabylon_Selecta]

I thought that he’s role was executive producer, which at this point I’ve got no idea what that means! 😂

[@yeezythabest]

@BurnBabylon_Selecta the executive producer is just the head of all the producers on a project, has the last say and is in charge of overall creative consistency

[@Bthelick]

Executive producer is the person who makes the final calls. There may be other sub producers under them. Like there are dedicated vocal producers who just helped singers produce the vocal before it even gets shopped to any 'executive ' producers

[@le-berry]

Producer is something what changed a bit over time. Writers performers engineer producer mastering engineer manager label manager record company studio time... Old norm. Still works today but we cannot deny that different role can be done by one person (writing, producing, mixing and fuck yeah even mastering.) In my perception the producer from bat out off hell is the proper example. Performer, engineer who pushed the songs next level. Todd engaged with the briljant but unsuitable songs. So Jim Steinman and Meatloaf were on to something but without Todd there would never have been a great record. Todd is not a producer like Rick Rubin Todd plays and has tech skills. So producers are the key figures making something from nothing..... Where Meat and Jim needed a producer today standards are lower and different. Knowledge is available and tech as well so that compasates for lack of brilliant musical minds

[@mgd9151]

Everyone is trying to convince artists that everyone else is needed. That isn't the case. The fact is many ppl aren't any of those things and just want quick money so they exploit every shortcut. Everything around music is subjective and relative but not law.

[@Bthelick]

Art is indeed subjective, until it comes to making it for a living.

[@mgd9151]

@Bthelick it still is regardless. The only thing different when making a living is the mindset of the person making the music and what their purpose is vs what they're willing to do instead.

[@ghost-user559]

I would argue the only part about art that isn’t subjective when it comes to making money, is doing taxes. In essence there are not other “rules”, only consistent and beneficial observations.

[@Bthelick]

@@ghost-user559 I don't understand how the government tax system is a factor? it's different in every territory. I mean it it's paying the bills then that proves it's working to enough other people to matter. I don't include any gaming of schemes in that I mean organically.

[@ghost-user559]

@@Bthelick Well that’s kind of my point. If the sum total of a persons art is that they can afford to live, and that is all done ethically, then that’s the only “rule” in art. The rest is all observations ultimately, many of which are fairly consistent observations regardless of genre or time period. Everything else is subjective. The only really objective part is the “business side”. The rest is basically just good practice, but not strictly speaking a “rule”. Hence how we get new genres and hybrids between genres.

@wigman1962 I said that in the video you still missed the point, what do we call What production it used to be because it's not that

[@HelixHolmes]

I think this is an easier way to put it. The Producer has a good understanding of what needs to be removed that the engineer's added to make a more coherent and memorable experience. Instead of the engineering side of you just throwing more at it and just ending up with a wall of sound thats so overwhelming it has no direction.

[@andrewknop4640]

a producer isn’t only going to suggest removing things

A good engineer should also be the one to look out for what to remove. Bruce Sewdien was especially good at this. It's more that the producer knows the destination more than the rest imo
