Why Your Music Will NEVER Improve (And How to Fix It)

[@Akayo_Music]

This is probably my favorite video yet. Hope it helps you :)

[@thundercracks]

I just discovered you a couple days ago, such a intelligent and young guy that is really good with his vocabulary as well. I did always do music since young remember my uncle placing fruity loops on the computer of me and my cousin. But last year I decided to go full into music and make it my way of being and evolve. I don’t necessarily wanna keep producing but I still keep open the program on my laptop when I want to invest time. My cousin on the other hand is way farther with music production and I wanna have a debut album in rap as a large project of mine. So I also want to take my producing knowledge a notch higher. But must say keep up you’re good work and keep investing this is some top notch content!

I gotta say, the teaching thing is really true. I just did a remix recently and recorded the entire process for a KZbin playlist. My first time doing such a thing. I spoke my thoughts and process out loud and I actually figured some things out that I normally struggle with! I learned some things as well. Thinking out loud while you produce as if you are trying to teach someone I feel is very helpful to yourself and an interesting experience.

bros editing and music production is 🔛🔝

[@sbarth9100]

I am now at 170 projects in 1 year. And i am now finally starting to find my tracks al right.

[@remora8829]

this is true for everything. I do music as a small hobby and my main hustle is trading, and it's the same process...consistency, sucking in the early phases, doing it over and over and over and pushing through the failures, and patience until the compounding kicks in. and when you finally breakthrough, everything will happen so fast it seems 'overnight'. keep pushing, we got this!

[@Kryd47]

Video production quality is top tier

[@erenyeeagah204]

i felt so direction less, you mightve kickstarted my career just now, thank you, im gonna make 100 tracks untilt he end of the year

[@AlaVey.Official]

thanks mate your words were really uplifting. had one of those producer moments yesterday where you just feel bad and unprofessional and would like to give up everything. and this sentence with the 100 beats really made me happy because that's exactly what i'm doing. building beats every day, recording vocals and trying to make the sound clearer and better through videos but the road is hard and the first tracks were shitty but i just keep going and maybe the moment will come when i feel the same progress as you do

[@heroicdragonunfiltered]

nothing beats pure consistency 🔥

[@KainoaFr]

The editing is insane bro such 🔥

[@LukeWilletMusic19]

Super inspiring, bro!

[@TapeOperator]

Great timing with this video - I just recently decided "no new gear until I've made 100 tracks", whether they're a few bars looped or finished tracks that take the listener from A to B, and my gearhead friends (we're all gearheads) seemed skeptical, but I had a roomful of gear decades ago and barely made anything, the current setup fits on a card table and I'm banging something out every other day - I think that most of it's "meh", but my friends are shocked, after all these years, I've got a dozen new things to play for them when we get together, where I used to just have mad converstation about and enthusiam for whichever new piece of hardware on the wish list.

[@carriesolomonmusic]

Part of me is like “No! I need to make great tracks NOW” and yet I know you’re right. I mean I already do see small improvements in my stuff just because I’m learning so much, but I know that jump in quality won’t be huge for some time. Good thing I’m stubborn and won’t give up when I really care about something almost to the point of obsession 😅 Thanks for the encouragement 🙏

[@thybeats]

I am at 46th Project today 🌟

[@MaximusWhyman]

I can tell you after years of experience, people are worried about producing before they learn how to play an instrument or know much about how music is made in general. Most top producers in the world are either awesome musicians or they are very technically smart. Both of those come with a lot of dedication and effort. There are no shortcuts.

[@DonStone-lx9if]

My worst enemy is myself. For some reason, I hold myself to a ridiculously high standard and I'm still a beginner. I constantly have this thought that if I'm not making music that sounds like the people that inspire me then I am making crap music. Then I go and buy a handful of different plugins because I think is going to make me sound better. It's a really vicious and damaging cycle. One thing that I've drilled into my head is that you have to enjoy the learning process and that the learning process will likely never end. The pros you look up to today and still learning.

[@kakaba2056]

That was the most helpful music production video I've ever watched, thank you bro.

[@heismoraayo]

Thanks bro we’d keep going

[@bennettphotography08]

The cinematography is awesome. I love seeing people that actually spend some time in their videos like this, It makes it so much more engaging and not like you just slapped it together in a day. Subbed!

[@OTATIWAVE]

yo I started producing the same year and the timeline is similar. the first 3 years depending on your influences will mostly be figuring out what you like. the thing is worrying about improving fast can cause a lot of people to burn out or make producing not fun. I'm lucky because all I cared about was how fun making music is and creating with friends who also produce so I never forced myself to improve quickly. of course if your goals are urgent to you, its no problem to try and increase your skills fast but also remember art takes time and life experience to give it soul. so as long as you stick to it, research what you need to achieve your desired expression and put your feeling in the track, you'll surprise yourself how good you get in time

[@kinganime2702]

I'm on 107th beat! getting better little by little :)

[@Vixage]

I've been producing for 5 years since 2019, I've learned so much from where I started and it amazes me just how much you can learn in a few years let alone a few months if your disciplined enough. Producing EDM not only showed me just how hard it is alone (and how much my respect grew for bigger artists then me,) but how magical it is to turn a idea into something greater Your videos always inspire me to keep pushing no matter what ♥

[@otomleaf05]

it’s hard to come to terms with the fact that your projects will suck for a while, but the outcome makes it all worth it :)

[@DeathOfTime_Official]

Right now I have only like 2 tracks/beats finished in a month or so, yet I feel like I have improved quite a bit due to how much I play around while messin with em and only focussed on quality, but your content really opends my eyes and feel even more motivated to focus on quantity, thank you for your content

[@nirownie]

The best is to just have fun and stop thinking about every single thing

[@mephykeysofficial]

Thanks, mate!😊❤

[@look4wonder]

Should i still upload the 100 tracks even if i don't like them? i ♥ ur videos, they helped me so much

[@grayhound1916]

Thank you so much bro, sub and like for you.

[@Kobusstolk]

Bro give me some advice about that hairstyle what do you do to get it like that?

[@Panitas3845]

remember to put god first before anything in this world. god loves you. blessings ❤️✝️

[@aaronsaarela9883]

Truth. This holds for learning an instrument too -- you'll get frustrated because you don't see progress. Why am I doing this if I'm not getting anywhere? A decade later and you might not even recognize the struggle you had in the beginning.

[@johnrute8557]

Can you recommend an online course or may be sharing the one who was teaching you? Appreciate it

I've been making music for fun since 2011 and still haven't found my groove. I've created many ideas from 8 to 16 bar loops etc, tried various chord progressions, scales, melodies and still can't get it right...still not giving up though...and i'm now 40 yo.

[@gainesdominique]

You're over thinking. Just have fun.

[@Ram84_1]

@@gainesdominique I was going through my old tracks I did i was younger, and using melodyne to extract data so I can use to manipulate it to my liking...so far working well but now i'm stuck haha

[@ericktellez7632]

"your fisrt 100 tracks will suck" im way past 100 💀💀💀

[@jonirischx8925]

Well I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm pretty sure my music improving will involve somehow giving you money.

When I still in making first 100 Tracks, may I also take some free commissions?

[@mariusle3385]

Your whole approach is „wrong“ if you want to make musik there is no wrong way, u just do it and feel it. What you are doing is making musik to get acknowledgement
