My daughter started creating. She reminded me of a mindset I had about making music. To just do it. And not let all the gear... all the imposter syndrome.... all the negtaive self talk. Just creating to create because it needs to come out.

The biggest lesson from this to me is take your kids to work day, Show them what you do and let them be part of it.
Beautiful reminder. Creativity without filter ...is so good. I love when you say "Done" is better than "Perfect".
Me too, I need to remind myself of this
Her song definitely should be on the radio, it’s creative and catchy and real
Kids are amazing!
When we let others quantify our creative contributions we devalue ourselves. Creativity is all that matters.
Dang. Her beat and song structure was decent. Wow.
100% her.
And performed with no " red light fever " ! just all heart and soul.
Awesome! This is a welcome reality check. Reminds me of when I had my kids recording their own phone-signals back in the day... Just a simple drumbeat and their vocals/rap "Incoming call for Robin, pick it up pick it up" Hahaha
Peace bro much love dinky dinky doo daah
Beautiful story. When I am making music, I always say to myself "Its not the worst thing I've ever heard" and that seems to keeps me going. Her song was catchy too!
What a powerful lesson! I've been on a similar path recently. It's been 35 years since I wrote any music. I recently decided to start writing songs again. It's about the simple basics of creativity. It's really what we were designed to do, express our creativity. But it's not limited to music, creativity can be expressed in thousands of ways. Are we using our creativity as it was intended?
Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man
Needed this. 20 years ago (at 17, not 7) I started just like your daughter. My uncle showed me how to do all of the same stuff you taught her, but with Reason 2.0. I’m technically “better” in every way now than I was then (gear included), but back then my creativity felt limitless. And to your point made towards the end, we create these limits for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, thank you (& your daughter) for this video 😊
FANTASTIC video. Girl dad here (12 & 4). You are a good dude and great dad. Your channel deserves every bit of the success you will most certainly continue to achieve. On the plane to NAMM as I watched this. Suddenly home sick for my babies. Also extremely excited as this is my first NAMM show since ‘05. I have to do the math, too. 43 years old and feeling dang good to be truly excited. If you are in Anaheim for the weekend I’d love to buy you a beer. If not, keeping being you. You got a big fan in me in rural mid GA.
Dude have fun. I’m not gonna be there this year. But hey go next year I’ll see ya there!
Thank you friend.
That hook is brilliant tho.
I’ve got 10 years on you, and am still struggling with getting past my own inner monologue that says (typically) that the product will suck. But I’m working on ignoring it.
Thanks for sharing this.
:) This does my heart all melty. ^_^ I wish I could have kids of my own to share my love of music and the studio with. And your daughter has the potential to be an amazing singer! Get her the right vocal coach over time and she'll be world class!
She did a GREAT job !!!! “Joy” is the description of her effort. Sheer joy of it.
Dad should be very proud
Great parenting. Crazy how kids soak up knowledge at that age, and you must have done a fine job teaching. I agree with other comments. This song is better and more original than a lot of what's out there, not that that's important.
I go back to "songs" I wrote when I was 15 and in my mind are still good. No agenda and not giving a f*** about what people think is so liberating. Great episode!
This was just the best. She’s “savvy” dude. I’m sure she’ll turn it into something😉. I’ve got 2 of my own that sit down at our little home rig and just “play.” They don’t look at me like the Yelp elite because it’s not a Neve lol. They fumble around until they find something that lines up with their taste and it’s lost on me at 44 years old. It’s sad. I def feel you on this video. BTW, I’ve touched base before but I’m on the south side of Indy. We gotta link up and hang sometime!
Bro definitely
I started recording in 99. On pc. On cool edit pro 1.2. Later became Adobe Audition. Which they screwed up after version 3. Started recording myself at 15.
Cool edit. Wow I forgot about that 😂
Thanks for sharing this! Self reflection commences…
Seems to be a trend around here lol
Jeremy Thank you for this. Your Store is GREAT keeping this in Mind . . .!
Warren is a good guy. Did he post something?
Great vid and a good reminder. Also, killer song by your daughter. .
Thanks man :]
Your kids are awesome man, and the message is so important to remind ourselves of every so often. Thanks for a great video.
Needed to hear this today. Nearing the end of preproduction for my band and been stuck on the last song for ages overthinking. Been putting a lot of pressure on myself.
I think the most in the zone and fastest work I've ever done was behind a semi pro mixing board with boss digital 8 track and a shoe box of sm57s and RadioShack mics.
Now that i got a lot of crazy gear and am trying to break into something that could overtake my main job someday I've definitely been pushing off or second guessing things i do because of thet imposter syndrome.
Thanks for the swift but gentle kick in the mental pants. Back to working on music i go.
Well stated!! It’s so easy to get lost in the worries and expectations of everyday, take a step back and and really see what is in front of us!
This video was very uplifting! thanks for sharing

Great vid! Have you read “The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin? It’s such a cool book and touches these topics in a similar way.
It'a a hit!
The only reason i felt my gear was ever limiting was because i clients didn’t want to work with me due to my gear not being good enough. When i got the gear it was the space and my marketing skills and lack of a team to do all the work needed that my competitors had. I moved out of the hyper competitive cities and now I’m hoping to just work with people again. Or just continue writing my own stuff and enjoying it.
When i think about good enough, i think is it done? Would i listen to it if i heard it on the radio. For once i am starting to feel it is ready, but i wish i had continued to practice my instruments and music over obsessing over getting the sound i want for 20 years. I started in 1998 using soundforge and recording stereo tracks and pasting them as a ‘mix’ of each other and controlling the volume with the paste. Then i eventually got pro tools rig and a mixer for multi track recording. I hated pro tools and went with Vegas and then Cubase and then logic many years later, but now I’m back to pro tools. Though i often use reaper as well when i don’t need much editing done. It’s been a journey and i turn 40 soon. And yet i have like 1/100th of the success you have had in life. No family, no partner, and I’m still trying to earn enough to pay my bills through audio (I’m at about 25% of my income through audio right now).
Dude success is soooo relative.
I feel very fortunate for sure. However. If someone is happy and doing what they love. That’s success.
The hustle is real tho. And sometimes it doesn’t feel like success at any level. You’re just running up an ever ending hill.
@@RecordingStudioLoser yeah I feel ya! I think I would enjoy it a lot more if I could easily not worry about paying my bills. Had a good job 5 years ago and still waiting for a similar level of pay to sustain me. Since it’s been constant hustle and if I don’t get my audio income portion I have trouble paying bills. I think without that pressure I could do better work and get better clients. I don’t do my best work when stressed. Big part of why I moved to a cheaper city through. Hoping to network more here and get more stable. But so far this city is proving a lot more me and successful in other areas of my life so only a matter of time until that success translates to my audio career
Very nice video amigo, thanks for sharing! Saludos!!!
The drums sound like Depeche Mode 😮!
My best takes were without any preconceptions. Feel and improvisation always sound better. Somehow, it's like recording real raw emotions, appeal, and soul. It's natural to my ears.
I tell every singer the mic heard emotion and story just as much as pitch and timing.
This is related to some things I've been pondering recently including "when something is good" or "when something is genuine" or "when something is done". Imagine the worst thing someone else can say about your music with a basis in fact. In other words, disregard any "troll comments" (i.e. "You suck") and focus more on things like "too much reverb" or "your snare is [1kHz]" (the last one may also be a troll comment too ... context matters =] ). If you can stand behind what you made even with those kinds of comments and critiques. then you know you are on the right path and "everything should be fine". If it bothers you and you can address it during a "work-in-progress" period or before its release date, then address it. But otherwise, "it is what it is".
While analysis has its place and should be used, but it also shouldn't be the end all, be all. Once again, when people react to your music, they are not going to spout off various manufacturers or parameter settings or "what DAW did you use". It's going to be things like "this sounds cool" or "I like that guitar sound" or ... "your snare is [1kHz]". Music is a whole greater than the summing of its individual parts. And you have to be fearless or at least not so tepid and timid about it. Another way of putting it: If you don't have a certain degree of confidence in what you make, then why should any else care about what you make?
BTW, I'm five years older than you and ... yeah =]
Well put. And those internal voices of faceless actors are very real conversations I have with myself. It’s kind of silly when you take a step back and look at it.
Great video man. Thank you

Man, Jeremy! Three thumbs up (if I had them) on this! I was like your daughter (well, not literally) at one point. It's gotten lost lately (honestly, longer than lately). Time to "get back!" and enjoy the creating more.
Love it!
"from the Mouths
of Babes..."
it could be somethign you've heard 1000s of times... but it hits you harder for sure

GOD CREATED US IN HIS IMAGE. GOD IS A CREATOR. MAN WAS CREATED TO BE CREATORS!
Your English is totally ruining your message mate
First sentences aren't accurate. I climbed up on a piano bench 50 years ago when I was 3, and everything started right away. It was never a hobby.
