When you give a pop producer a 7 string guitar
excatly the video i needed, thanks! i'm in a similar situation like you were at the beginning...i just rented a small studio space to start a small business next to my day job. it's pretty scary to start out, not knowing how things will work out. your advice and story is so relatable, this really helps a lot, thanks! :)
You got this!!!!!
Great insights!!
Thanks!!
Great practical advice, I always cringe when I here always do this.. I would much rather hear "this often works, or even "most the time" or here is a good starting point. I often try presets to get ideas, but rarely use them, especially as they are, and sometimes it inspires something new. Anyway, good points.
Appreciate it!!
Never knew the reaggae thing - smart. And congrats on the book!
Thank you!!
great words, Adam. Thank you.
appreciate ya!
You look so different without the stache. But you can rock both styles with and without the beard!
Thank ya!!
I own a U87, WA87 and a AKG 414. The Nueman is superior for female rnb vocals and pretty good with loud rap vocals also. The all around best mic I’ve used with my setup is the 414 by far because of the polar pattern options and dynamic response to most vocal textures. U87 is goat tho
Nice selection there!
The first one is something I often ask in comments on GearTubers when they make the overdone video when they try to justify the amount of gear they have. Are you a gear user or a gear collector? You can't be both, as being a collector will entail getting pieces of gear which might be useless to you because they may command a status or price in the market or as an investment asset. Or they might be look pretty in your backdrop when you record your videos.
8th deadly sin, using Ai of any type
@@garethde-witt6433 That rule is practically impossible as written, if one is even slightly engaged with modern technology.
bro, what happened to your hair ???
Scissors!
is there oil on the lense orits just there cause it is cool? Not hating I just switched windows to make sure my screen wasn't damaged. Its all good no worries. I just suffer visual migraines and such occassionally that i am hypersensitive to visual things. You do you. No worries. :) :) :)

It was a reflection in the teleprompter
You nailed it all!!! A huge problem (I'm from Miami) I once was a salesman and people used to get gear that they didn't take time to study. They got the gear to look big but couldn't put it to potential use. I have a. few stories for days!!! I do mobile recording so I tend to make things easy by using what I use and try to get in and out. The more complicated you become during sessions the more it lead to a problem. I also know and see people like to do things the way others do it trying to get the same results but scream they wanna be different!!!
That’s the most Miami thing you can do 😂😂 appreciate ya
Agree. However, if you are an average person with a reasonable IQ and have been in this business for years, you probably know all of this, even if you had to learn it the hard way. As a producer, I've worked with many people, but on a personal level, I've been around big flamenco artists for over 20 years. Not producing them, but being friends, attending parties, and so on. There's one thing I've learned from them: always speak well of everyone. You mentioned something about vanity in this video. I've never done anything like that; it's just who I am and part of my personality. That said, I've seen certain people try to completely change an artist's song and use the artist as a puppet for their own personal goals, undermining the competition, and manipulating everyone around them. Real psychos and pathological liars. If I had the chance, I'd love to tell you a story if you ever discuss something on this topic in the future. Congratulations on the book. Seeing someone with ADHD finish something brings me a lot of joy.
That’s a great lesson for sure. And thank you 🤘

Tip 1-10: COCAINE
You covered both topics with couth and intellect🤌 I write this as I slowly ease into opening the Premiere file containing the footage I filmed for a skate video three years ago. God bless, and peace out!
There also may or may not be - a lot of - old water bottles containing urine around me.
Get it 🤘🤘
What if I'd rather pay for the planner as a support to your efforts instead of paying my local Staples for printing services 💀
It will be for sale this weekend!!
@@AdamSliger that’s absolutely perfect timing I’m so excited 🔥
Heck yeah 🤘🤘
Damn right around tip 4 I picked up my guitar to noodle while I watched, wrote a few riffs, heard something out of tune, fixed it. Looked up, video is ending.....Damn. I am bad....
NOT ME SCROLLING TO THE COMMENTS IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCHING THE VIDEO AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAAAAHAHHAHHHAHHAHHHHHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This was an exceptionally cool topic with tons of helpful tips! Definitely gonna try the pomodoro timer. Btw, I LOVE my fidget toys and can cooler! Lol. Can relate to all of this so hard. Subscribed.
Hey thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
So helpful. Can confirm body doubling works. I'll take months fine tuning by myself, but when my friend is working on it with me, we'll knock a whole tune out start to finish in one day.
Thank you Adam for the inspiring and informative videos!
Thank you for watching!
I saw this thumbnail like a week ago and I never ended up watching the video, but ever since then every time I poured myself any sort of beverage in my head I'm going like I Am Become The Drink Goblin, The Gobbler Of Drinks
That’s hilarious
HAHAHA okay I had to pause at 11:35 because I literally threw a whole night away just last night convincing myself I should try moving my desk to a different wall, which then took me about an hour to halfway do and give up and get lost in a RUclips rabbit hole instead. But that's also how I found this video, which I left open for tonight and have been enjoying
happens to the best of us! glad you enjoyed the video
I’ve been working producing a 7 song album in which charango is used in almost all the tracks, the charango player just turned 71. There’s so many ways to play it, so many sounds and textures. Get the mic position wrong and you can ruin the whole thing. Preproduction is the key so you know how to record it to fit the track, but, when it’s there… holly molly…
That’s really cool!!!
@@AdamSliger Thanks! Where's that new book gonna be sold? I'm commited to your cause, dude. I want the physical version. You know how it works for many of us: out of sight out of mind.
Amazon for the time being!! Appreciate it!
Brazilian music has a similar instrument called "viola caipira." It's about the size of a travel acoustic, it uses 5 double strings like the charango and it's often tuned BEBG#BE. Though the standard tuning of the charango is CGEAE, not EADGB.
The tuning Young the Giant uses is EADGB, I should’ve been more specific!
I'm gonna try putting these into practice, thanks for the tips!
All the people lamenting about AI just really shows how little a lot of people believe in their own creative voice and abilities, and also how skewed their priorities are in regards to what motivates them. If money, fame, and accolades are the only things that drive you, then yeah, it is likely you will fail, because you're letting everyone else but you define the value that your skills and creativity have. Art is about expressing yourself, and AI is the antithesis of that. When your goal is self expression, AI can never replace you. Loving the process of creating art needs to be your core motivation, whether you're just working on your own stuff or seeking to help others make their creativity come to life. Potential clients will catch on to your vibe real quick if you're phoning it in just for the money, and not because you actually care about making good art. And if you'd manage to hit it big with music that doesn't really matter to you, wouldn't that just feel so awfully empty? Your take on all of this is a very healthy and constructive angle, and I appreciate you sharing it. Keep the good content coming.
Wow thanks for writing all this! I agree totally.
Had to near-physically restrain myself to watch this start to finish, but I’m glad I did. As others said, I’ve been doing/thinking of doing some of these things and hadn’t put a name to it. Great stuff, thank you.
Glad you found it useful!!! Thanks for watching and I hope it genuinely helps!
Music is such a good skill for me with my ADHD because of how responsive and interactable it feels. I press a button, sound happens, i press a different button WOAH sound changes. It becomes almost a really creative fidget toy 😂 Unlike drawing or sculpting where feedback is minimal and most of the reward comes after a very very long period of "trusting the process" I personally need that immediate feedback music has for art.
That’s awesome
haha tiktok brain go brrrrrrrr
You don't need to replace the local drummer with a session guy, just use superior drummer 😂
I became the drink goblin, but for beer. Helped get some great music out, but productivity dropped by about 100%. I significantly cut back on drinking and will prob do the seltzer trick
The bubbles help create ideas I think!
Dude thank you
🤘
bro you gotta talk faster if you're targeting an adhd audience, 2x speed wasn't even enough for most of this video
sorry homie
PLS i can't wait for the physical copy of the planner!
So soon!!
Can I work with you for sync placements🥲
Thanks for sharing. In music especially, experience speaks volumes

WHY IS THIS VIDEO NOT NINETY SECONDS LONG
Watch it on 10x speed
hold my espresso, I'm going in!
ADD for me but it's kind of the same.
I finally did it... i overcame the procrastination period of 1 month to watch this video.🎉
Let’s goooo
i agree about your point about only taking advice from people who you can trust to know better, so this isn't undercutting your point, but i'm a vocalist, and i actually did do a mic shootout years ago at sweetwater in their in-store studio set up for this kind of thing, and literally sang into both mics you used as an example and the actual frequency response of the Rode NT1-A sounded much nicer for my voice than the Neumann lol. now i have no doubt the neumann mic is better for 1000 other uses, but purely for my own voice the NT1-A worked better. your advice is solid for sure, i just thought the coincidence was hilarious
Not that I don’t believe you but what was the context? Were you just singing into it and listening back? Because the NT1A to me has kind of a hyped up high end that makes a lot of people like it at first but then it’s annoying to work with in actual mixes. Which I think is why the “NT1A is better” thing is so widespread. But also that is really funny!
great insight dudes :)
Not even saying" ...if you guys behave like jerks in the studio, GET OUT OF HERE!"?
I have that printed on a 5 foot sign on the studio wall
what about dr. luke? phil spector? i'm sure they didn't give a **** about how artists "feel", yet they're some of the world's best producers to ever exist
I hope you’re not serious
Ive said some of these luckily I haven’t in a while
