Finding your channel has been the best thing this year so far. You, apart from being really talented, you just give facts. I'm tired of the "producing gurus" channels giving bs advice that only makes matters harder. Thanks a lot for your content!
appreciate the kind words brother 🙌
Thanks man have had alot of the same realizations but great to hear it again from someone rlse
This video hits points that I experienced when I first started producing.
I remember how fun it was for me to record my ideas, to make them sound cool even if that didn’t mean pro and how fast I was learning my DAW of choice (Pro Tools)
I’ve had a time in which I’ve focused more on improving my workflow for mixing by perfecting my template to exhaustion and doing the same for music production.
Trying to create the best production template and the best mixing template.
The last song I produced I started from a blank slate and I found myself going in a different direction than I was before.
This new result turned in me not using production templates and only focusing on diving in and create.
It’s true that having everything routed from the start is good and can definitely make you go even faster but sometimes, if you don’t have anything setup from the start it might actually make you go a different route and break your own habits.
Now, no template for production and only for mixing.
Mixing, sound design and creating your own presets are really important if u wanna have a recognisable sound in ur samples, definitely worth spending the extra time on imo
3 minutes in and I already feel like I wanna watch all of your videos immediately. Lots of producer videos are focused on things that don't really matter and you got straight to the point in no time. Earned a new subscriber here!
At last someone that talks sense and reality
Template saved my life! The worst sin as a (music) creator is to get caught up in the RUclips rabbit hole of hacks and secrets.
When your better off just focusing on songwriting. Classic analysis paralysis.
Facts. I know someone who spent 5 years watching tutorials before they ever released their first song!
@@MotionGiftsthats crazy ,was it good??
nope@@kineticwayss
@@MotionGifts 🤣🤣
you nailed it man
Great video. You’ve hit the nail on the head with this info
Thank you. And yes, you were totally right with your statement that deep inside I already know the answers and what to do what not to do. It was necessary to hear it from somebody else 😅
Bro I love your channel. Thankyou for the work you've put in
needed this one, thank you man
Great video bro, Im 33 and Im new in this music production journey :D
Greats tips!!!
i enjoy these videos a lot man :) keep it up. a small but effective thing i can add to this is to learn shortcuts! its less about the time you save and more about using your DAW in the most intuitive and effective way
so. so helpful today. thank u will
7:48 why does look like some buttery 120 fps new cod animated scene im dead XD nice vid man earned urself a sub
haha appreciate it
Yoo broo i found your content a few days ago and I - AM - HOOKED! Will def keep an eye out because i can really use someone as straight to the point and talented as you to improve my producing skills
Sick video bro, really good insight on things that I've trying to fully hone into within the last couple months (and finally seeing progress), though I still have days where it feels I've got no clue wtf I'm doing LOL.
Great video man! Excellent advice
Extremely professional video Will, love the points you made especially on the subject of simplicty. Whether it's the environment you work in, the projects you work on, or even the mindset you have torwards production, I think a key point that could be made is that generally less is more overall. Some of our most complex projects ironically stem from this idea, and based on first hand experience I think this sort of headroom between DAW and reality enables creators alike to have an increased/creative workflow.
Love the content bro, earned a sub 🙌
appreciate you guys 🙌
Great video!
Underrated video
Bro these videos are so good man!
appreciate you bro
Well said B. Great vid 🙌
Sick video dude - love this side of production yt
appreciate it dude - been liking your videos too lately 💪
I came across your channel by accident and I quite like what I watch. I'm a hobbyist music producer started creating orchestral filmmusic during the pandemic. Orchestral filmmusic is kind of the opposite genre of what you're making (and your minimal approach). I couldn't live without a template for instance. But still, this resonates with me. I don't put out my initial ideas in the template but on a blank project and transfer it later.
I agree that songwriting is the most important although not being a "workflow thing". And songwriting is not clearly defined in my opinion, it is coming up with ideas, structuring, arranging and telling a story with them.
Loved this video!
probz! good video. tldw best tip in the last 5 secs
I think making a thought-through sample library that's tested and mixed helps the most to have a more fluid workflow. It takes time to make a library, but in the end it will save tons of time and energy. It's also great to sort out your favourite presets in synths.
I don't doubt it can help - but it's pretty pointless if you're not actually producing
W Video broski. Earned a subscribe 👍
Can you make a video on music theory, how you learned it and how you’re applying it? My music improved a lot after I learned some basic music theory
Yes, working on it
your more than a producer broo
thx
🙏🙏🙏
why subtitles fixed in your video on youtube?
3:42 so true
I feel like this is a really shitty mindset to get yourself stuck into. Trying to be as productive as possible, wasting no time in the process kinda takes away from the magic of being an artist. Producing is meant to be fun. Putting all this pressure on yourself to always be getting ideas down and finishing your beats as quickly as possible is just gonna burn you out imo
For sure, that wasn’t my intent - i personally felt becoming as productive as possible is more a byproduct of practicing, spending time on what matters and enjoying the process. I never liked spending time doing pointless mixing but i always felt like i had to, once i let go of that and spent more time on the idea i had more fun and actually improved as a consequence of that. Hope that makes more sense

I mean, there’s obviously a spectrum here. There are people who move along at a nice and orderly pace (you, I’m guessing) and chalk up going off on a tangent to something like walking off the road in Skyrim… and then there’s me. Haven’t had a cogent idea in months, ADHD rules everything around me, will focus for hours on getting the reverb tail “just right” or some other lame-ass shit… ugh. Just, ugh. Maybe I need guard rails. Just keep enjoying your craft on your terms man, you’re obviously very well off right now. For anyone that’s struggling, they can take what they like and leave the rest behind, no one but the most easily influenced of people are gonna watch this video and throw their whole approach away.
The advice was helpful to me :)
You gotta do it without feeling pressure. That’s a mindset shift you have to do. It should feel like creative freedom. People get stuck because of lack of action.
I feel like this is a really GREAT mindset to have. He’s giving newer producers a streamlined way of thinking. Instead of focusing on sound design just open up your program and have fun. He’s speaking to the audience who is overwhelmed by the countless RUclipsrs that encourage sound designing everything and mixing everything. When all some people want to do is make music.
At the end of the day, it’s art and if the person enjoys it…then that’s all that matters.
Great video
Go fast go slow learn mixing take hours don't take hours. That's the best way.
Mastering the DAW is rather pointless if you just write on guitar, the lyrical and chord idea has to be written on paper not on some stupid computer where you just stare at a screen. Using samples is such a lazy and mind numbingly boring way to do things.
