KSHMR Masterclass: How To Stop Making Beats And Be An Artist | Spinnin’ Academy @ ADE 2019

[@halifaxa.d.7118]

“Smart people miss out all the time by mumbling on about the possible consequences while idiots win by flinging themselves at things they barely understand.” A brutal truth.

[@Artersa]

What an excellent quote. I find myself theory-crafting more than creating, and that aint no way to get practical experience.

[@tomgunn6585]

Any person defining themselves as smart and somebody else as an idiot has larger problems.

[@mikeexits]

@@Artersa Are you by chance a Game Theory fan? I literally just watched a video where MatPat says "theory-crafting" as if he made it up, lol.

[@ivantheawesome409]

@@tomgunn6585 i dont think that is the takeaway from this quote. While I do agree with your statement, there is some psychological term for this, but essentially, it is the idea that someone who knows more about a field will be more careful, because they know what they don't know, whereas someone new may not understand all the nuances/facets and may believe they know everything about such a field. I disagree with the smart/idiot statement, I would instead say something like experts/laymen, but the core idea remains the same: at a certain point you gotta put down your philosophy books and questions and just make something, regardless of possible consequences because risk is always going to exist

"Martin Garrix is Golden Retriever of dance music" Yesh, Tough crowd.

[@holidaycomplex]

i can see they are laughing and the crowd has been muted for the most part

[@robertoperez2843]

What does that even mean tho?

[@FatalFriction]

@@robertoperez2843 I found it funny cos Martin basically comes across as a really down to earth friendly guy always smiling and happy to see fans, so if you are familiar with the breed of dog golden retriever, they are very loyal and friendly, and cuddly and loves to be petted. Maybe they don't have a translation in Dutch for the word 'golden retriever' or they call them something else? I tried googling it just now, and could quite figure it out. Are there any native dutch speakers reading this that can shed some light on this issue? Please help.

[@robertlowe5682]

@@FatalFriction We also call them golden retriever.

[@eduardomonge1879]

The total number of visits that this video has represents the total number of people who want to be musical influences compared to other videos that only seek to entertain you, what does this tell us? The world needs more people like us to live, feel and appreciate more than anything else, because people want to have fun, we are creators of emotions, if you feel like someone like that, then you are on the right track.

[@3man099]

[@adenaas9108]

This is 100% one of the best Artists/producers talks I've heard in a long long time some of the common sense knowledge he's dropping is Gold .... and he's breaking it down in simple metaphors and easy to understand diagrams. People get bogged down with trying to be the best producer and sound designer in the world and by doing this they lose their direction and where they wanted to go with this, A wise Grammy-winning producer was told on the come up by someone deep in the game that its 20% skill 80% Bussiness which means that to become successful the most part of getting there is networking and making links with People like managers, artists, tour managers, producers, singers, etc, etc

[@Sanghzz88]

Yes lol because he did. DVBBS has been known to have ghost producers and this just goes to prove it even more. They just some rich kids that wanted to be on stage.

[@Ahmed-li4bw]

I think he was co_producer or ghost producer of that song And you know every spinnin records song Made by atleast 10 artist ....and they give the cridet only 2 or 1 DJ /artist .......

[@risitaswithbigote9384]

You saying it like it's a new fact or something, people already guessed that when they compared Tsunami with Megalodon, they kind of figured out that KSHMR was the ghost producer.

[@xLucidor]

Yeah, like it was no big deal 😅 "i woke up.. had a snack.. and oh i made that Tsunami-song you never heard of.."

[@androssomusic]

Tsunami was a ghost-production by KSHMR. He wanted to ghost produce for already established producers to test the waters of the electronic dance scene. When the song got a positive response, he initiated his own artist project

Singing: I watched part of the timbaland master class, and one of the ways he starts new ideas is to turn autotune on full-blast robot and just start talking and singing into autotune whatever comes to mind. Eventually, he stumbles on something fun. It's worth a try....

[@Tubbymakesnoize]

Is the whole master class worth a watch?

[@briancase6180]

@@Tubbymakesnoize I haven't watched the full thing. I think it really depends on what you're hoping to gain: there's only so much that can be communicated. In my opinion, if you get one big idea (e.g., singing into a full-on autotune) that inspires you, it's worth it. Otherwise, I think a thousand youtube videos and actually MAKING music is much better. I like his attitude: it's supposed to be FUN and YOU CAN DO IT. In the end, you have to do it all yourself anyway....
