Do THIS to NEVER experience beat block

[@nerdexproject]

Another creativity tip is also pitching your song around and you might have some further inspiration all of a sudden for elements to put in :)

[@Oversampled]

Yess!

[@HST344]

nah that aint work for me

[@joyfuldjango8212]

I open another project and start working on it for a few minutes then return to the song before and I keep flowing

[@AngelsForeign]

That's what I did for every single song i post on KZbin lol

[@nightj6593]

8:43 I thought I was the crazy one for walking around my room as my laptop plays my project idea. Glad to know it's something that helps other people as well!

[@Kai_soze]

I do this as well

[@MIDNIGHTCVLT]

Me too😂

[@pentabitsmusic]

People don't do this??

[@Gnurklesquimp]

I now remember once going to the bathroom while my daw was still playing and getting an idea out of that, yet I never thought to do it again

[@_bayjor]

do this all the time, I leave it running on my monitors, gotta hear it from different angles.

[@yashashwichaudhary5667]

Full Release the track at 1:42 , its so sick!

[@prod7nearth]

Another tip I've heard of is to make a space , a room right for producing. That's not about the sound proof stuff etc. It's about making your producing space aesthetically pleasing for you. This way you will create a satisfying experience for urself. Hardware stuff also can keep the ideas flowing, eg using a hardware synth or a midi keyboard

[@AustinCooper]

I'd like to sincerely thank you for making this video. I've always struggled with feeling like a creative type but after watching this I've reached an epiphany - music production is just as much discovery as it is creativity. If I view it as experimentation and discovery, I will avoid falling into the perfectionism trap I so often find myself in. I really hope you see my comment because I want you to know how much I appreciate you! I have been watching your vids for a long time and I swear they have been getting better every time. Several of your latest videos have made it on to my "Favorites" playlist and that is no easy task. Out of the 10+ yrs I've been on KZbin, only a few dozen have made it onto this list.

[@G.Man-]

Well said regarding experimentation & discovery. I am yet to watch this video. What are some of the other vids on your favs list?

[@onchrono]

Yes, come on, what’s on your list?? 😃

[@juven_music]

Thank you so much for making this video! This has honestly helped me a lot with reevaluating my mindset when it comes to music production. For me, I have a pretty slow process when it comes to making ideas sometimes. I’ve set such high expectations for myself that it’s hard for me to even continue song ideas. I forget to just experiment and see what vibes can happen. I’m definitely going to give these tips a go!

[@peterelfman]

These tips are excellent, and the conceptual tips work great for any creative medium, not just music producing. One that note, one of the best tips for any creative is, after a few hours of working on something, if you're stuck, put it down, walk away from it for a few hours, and subject yourself to completely unrelated stimulus. That can often birth new ideas or help spark something new to try to get past the point where you're stuck. You mentioned something similar - i.e. changing your workspace (which is a great idea!) - but sometimes people get stick mid-project and can't simply change work venues.

[@elihot.]

This is an amazing video, It helped me a lot to reconsider what to do on production. I've been feeling a little discouraged about making music due to those expectations and thinking that if I can't make a pro sound or track then it's a waste of time. I really don't like feeling that way but you gave a key to get out of that crappy zone. Thank you so much, you're one of the best content creators

[@Kaneki-wp8sx]

Your videos are amazing. Your music is so good. To be honest, you are a game changer concerning music production learning on internet. Thank you for all the up-and-coming artists you help. Love you! 😉😉

[@BTold]

this video aesthetic looks so good and satisfying to watch! also, lots of great demos that u just showed bro

[@7belowfn593]

Man. This is maybe the best video you’ve ever posted. From straight up DAW tips to some really interesting mindset tips. Keep up the great content Peter we appreciate you so much 🤘

[@xgg_fpv]

how is this guy so inspirational giving good tips and being funny at the same time :)

[@exebor7824]

This video is gold, wish I watched it 3 years ago when I started producing. Thank you

[@TheFijet]

Pregnancy test bit got me good man. Top content as always

[@sahilwagdarkar]

11:24 Best motivation you can get about music production.

[@scr4ppy22]

Holy shit dude your setup and camera quality rn is peaking. Love to see it

[@guillermoesteban8889]

Lol I have 56 unfinished songs !!! Thank you!!🥰🥰

[@pety1245]

Rookie numbers😅

[@AngelsForeign]

Give up 🥰🥰

[@AngelsForeign]

I bet you still haven't finished them after a year

[@samuraiowlmusic]

@@AngelsForeign why is this necessary?

[@frankiewylde7649]

great vid! I often struggle w this exact thing. the resampling ideas are super valuable!

[@Kimitri]

1:48 man this is sick

[@blushboi5391]

i think its very safe to say that this is your best video yet. and not only that - it is one of the best videos concerning music production on youtube! thank you!

[@rileyevans6070]

Your sample packs have helped me over come any beat block I’ve ever had! Appreciate the work you’ve put into them!

[@joemayo6694]

Super high quality video! Very satisfying to watch and thanks for the good tips.

[@artificium_]

dude, you're a good person. I went from going into ableton every day to well, none for the past couple months. I opened ableton a little bit ago and I'm like, wow I was really on a roll there and got pretty deep but how tf was I doing this shit!? But this, this is helping a lot

[@Oversampled]

Bro I'm so glad to hear that man!

[@pinkenbajedi2119]

I do about half of these already but your flow is so much better. Thanks for the tips.

[@shadowkercaine9694]

Love the new editing, looks amazing, keep it up!

[@ArcticWolfOfficial]

1:42 Soooooo like you should turn this into a song because this is fuego

[@priyanxofficial]

Thank you for this video, I needed this so bad since I was going through a writer's block at the moment. thanks for making this video man✨

[@heyitsgillie]

I'm really glad you showed how amazing portal is. I fuckin' love that plugin

[@KarimLeMec]

Best tips in da business right here! Thanx man ! Flow State was always part of my creative process BTW!

[@probablyawake]

Phenomenal video. Will have to keep these in mind. Messing around with samples works for me really well and swapping them in and out based on pattern has gotten me some pretty cool results.

[@drowsyspook3455]

1:41 why is no one talking about how fire this is

[@this_is_nefas]

thanks for these very cool tips! I always tend to get stuck at some point of the creative process. I'll try some of your tips :)

[@MARTINK4RMA]

You said it mate, agree with 100% of the information. Great video my dude

[@バート]

really top notch video mate. This has got to be the most helpful video to anyone at any stage in their music making journey as we need to constantly remind ourselves of these points. Well done

[@djronakdelhi]

i like how the video is so well put together and good tips

[@alextheend5]

Thank you!! Just watched the first 4 minutes but they are already super helpful! And probs on your editing it's really great! :)

[@samshahi4049]

i saved it to come back and watch it all again in the future cause it's definitely going to help

[@vlad_zeven]

Best teacher! Have a great day too!

[@aerience]

you're so amazing! as always

[@vishalchunara1670]

Seriously needed this... Thanks man

[@irishmossdubwise]

You have a great perspective man

[@frostmor8069]

Perfect bro!

[@FrntflwMusic]

I’m just gonna watch this everyday!

[@musicbymeridian]

What expansion pack is that blade stutter effect in portal from at 1:17?

[@RichardLeGendreMTL]

I want to congratulate you for this amazing vidéo as I teach exaclty all of these reccommendations since 1999 first ableton live ever PeaceR Keep it up Champion

[@coldbumby]

One of the best videos on production I’ve seen. Thank you!

[@GarviHere]

I don't produce anymore but i haven't stopped watching your videos and they're getting better and better brah 🥵

[@dokma_eu]

I have this technique for beat-matching your favourite reference track with Ableton: play your desired reference track in Traktor Pro 3 (not sure if other version support Ableton Link which is a must-have for this), where Traktor is already configured to sync with Ableton via Ableton Link - that will produce very close results you need in terms of beat-matching - and then you can record the result (outgoing sound from Traktor) in Ableton audio track at desired BPM (because both ends are almost perfectly synced), using either loopback of your audio interface or you can re-configure Traktor to use Cable-VB virtual audio or some other solution that will route your Traktor's out to Ableton's in. Easy-peasy.

[@labkidbeats2881]

Damn editing and filming in this video slaps! Keep it up good work :)

[@mysticartsmelodies]

thanks for sharing. Myself and im sure so many people suffer from the high expectation of their music. If you really watch people live streaming or "pro" producers start a track from scratch, you can see that what they made is actually kinda bad yet they somehow are able to turn that into a banger. Thats the skill of a good producer imo so its more important to focus on your process of improvement (via high quantity and continuous learning) than it is to actually aim to make bangers from the get, Anyways, thanks for a great vid again! - MA✨

[@plugexpert]

Starting is not a problem here, often finishing tracks is, same for focusing on what works versus getting rid of the lesser ideas in tracks (which to a large extend is subjective). Sometimes trying out a new plugin on an old 8 bar loop idea with potential can branch out a few extra minutes and potentially spark a new track. Also, with the cheap storage nowadays, you can easily store different variations of the same track, create variation in productions (VIPs :)), replace/add effects & re-arrange. Being an old head that started on floppy disks, the memory limit is still baked in my brain and it is something I have to remind myself :) .

[@JedidiahProductions]

One thing that I find sparks creativity is setting limits for yourself. A couple that I commonly use are only use stock plugins in the daw or limit myself to making all sounds from scratch in one synth. Also living a healthy lifestyle keeps your mind healthy and fresh to be more creative.

[@Deerson]

Thank you Peter for great content! 🤗

[@mrdmt974]

Thank you Oversampled! excellent Video that i needed!

[@NAZAARMUSIC]

love this video!!

[@verlatenn]

as a schranz producer, because all the tracks are mostly the exact same, i just use a template plus i also listen to like 20 reference tracks before making a song

[@gooneybird808]

This video is so well done...good shit real tips

[@bokidjordjevic]

Great vid Peter! Always motivating and inspiring. But this one was 👌

[@pet3r639]

Your videos are gems bro

[@sylvainconsult969]

Oh buddy ! You are so cool for our motivation. I need to buy one new sample pack from you to reward that ! Ty.

[@Trayzonne]

Really helpful, I'd also add that staying active in life really helps with not having beat block anymore ! The COVID containment really fueled some ideas at first but then after some time it just killed my inspiration I couldn't produce a single thing then things opened I started going out, working and I haven't had a beat block for months !! Recording my toplines and ideas with my phone when it pops into my mind really helped a lot starting things once I get back home too :)

[@junziren_offical8800]

Sure !For me , it's always a good way to experince the REAL life to bring ideas.

[@ArtEntity]

this stuff is so inspirational i love it.

[@amaanahmad_]

this was genuinely a good video with not so basic and general tips ❤️❤️

[@jakertheknoxvilliansentina504]

Next level. The part about neurons electrical signals is quite funny if you've seen the rick and morty giant head episode

[@mobiusmusic7684]

thanks, this is really what i need.

[@shikaman]

The other day, i had the total opposite happening to me, but in a bad way. I started a new track and got rushed with a ton of ideas, tons of melodies and counter melodies came to my mind, structures ideas, sound choices and all. The thing is that i felt completly overwhelmed by it, so after a few minutes laying down some draft, i stopped. :(

[@mrcomicfritz]

This is very helpful, thank you so much!

Thank you!

Such a good video!

[@MFGH0ST]

Great perspective and inspiration to hit the reset button

[@timtimch1884]

Very cool video, thanks!)

[@rokthatsun]

For me #3 and #4 in the time stamp is enough, reference track, i just straight copy the arrangements then delete the reference track after done with it, next i do experiments with serum or other synth, messing with my keyboard to get ideas, something good will come suddenly, try to do basic things first then make it fancy in the mixing stage

[@LOLCoolJ]

Gently introducing determinism to young producers.

[@herlocksholmesofficial]

In Fl studio you can save Layers from multiple vst's, you can save entire chord stacks

[@ghostplayermusic]

Yes, in Ableton as well! Great for re-using ideas

[@yeenx4891]

Trueee😄 Nice video💜

[@blackjacketboys]

Great video! I just came out of beat block and I’m hoping that it’s the last one 🤘🙏

[@jeannya8525]

thank you，it sure will help a lot

[@timelessmoments]

5:05 How do you make that kick hit so good 😩

[@rysea9855]

Changing the environment really works. I made my best song when I was at my grandma's and took my laptop Edit: Wonder if simply changing my rgb light color could also do the trick? That's definitely worth experimenting with

[@maomallows]

Is the track at 5:05 released? What's the title?
