J.S. Bach said about his compositions: "I don't have a natural talent, everyone who works as hard as me can achieve the same."
Amazing quote!! Thanks ever so much for that!!!
Well, he had a talent of working hard... that's not a talent easy to find

"Failure is our greatest teacher" - Master Yoda ;-)
immax79 yes! Agreed!
Knowing Yoda he might have been calling his greatest teacher a failure!!
"A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances.
The real mistake is to stop trying."
B. F. Skinner BA, MA, PhD
Not quite Yoda, but - except for the ears - looked a wee bit like him! :D
It's kind of like an old Japanese adage that "You might learn something from 100 victories... But you'll definitely learn something from one defeat."
Agree with this, I do. And remember, do, or do not, there is no try.
As I've gotten older, I've tried to live by the motto, "Don't be afraid to suck."
One doesn't need to be unhappy to create art, but one needs to create art when unhappy.
Haha I hear you Adam! I live by that motto as well!!
I've paraphrased that as, "Don't be afraid to embrace the suck."
I used to say If your not willing to sound bad you cant sound good
cant be a success without a little failure. its an essential part of the path!
Yes, yeah, yup, and affirmative. If you're afraid to suck, you'll never get good enough to not suck.
I cannot help but to be completely enamored by your humility and realness. Most of this video could be summed up to this-- "Take action- do it- get in the trenches and stop worrying about being perfect today because thats not how this works."
WOW!! What an amazing summation! You Rock!!
I feel most of these could be also called 10 general lifes tips
Thanks ever so much
Hi Warren, I'm Paul from S.Korea. I first learned about your channel about 5 years ago and I've been keeping up with your contents ever since then(except for the time I served in the Korean Army). I always wanted to mix better and better even though I was a singer, and I never gave up on studying mixing. I bought all the contents from Pro Mix Academy and studied so hard to train my ears and craftsmanship, and finally this month, I debuted as a mix engineer and mixed a song that was published here in Korea. I just wanted to thank you the most because even though you don't know me, I learned so much from you and your contents and I believe you were mainly the reason I had so much fun mixing music. So THANK YOU for being a great teacher, and I hope you keep doing marvelously well in the future :) !!!
That's awesome!
Congrats !
It’s an absolute must to use a ribbon mic recording a Peruvian Sphincter Flute!
This is Sage advice.
I’d like to watch an orchestra of nubile virgins performing
this is some of the best 25 minutes of living this life. i get a lot more out of the deal when i pick up a guitar and play WITH it - instead of intending to PLAY it. making music is a journey of discovery. along the way spirits reveal themselves to those who step off the beaten path and let the journey carry them. music is a manifestation of infinity. i hope to meet you one day, here or there.
I would love to tell you my life story, but I will just let you know, that this video has broke a barrier that has been in front of me for more than 30 years. Than you very much.
Hi ELPLAK, I am so happy to able to help my friend! It's always amazing to hear when messages connect with you! Thank YOU very much!!
I honestly felt bad about making songs that I never finished and felt even worse moving on to another one just to do the same thing and now you're here saying that it is perfectly normal and that I should continue is literally the most motivating thing ever. Thanks bro have definitely touched a heart. All the tips were helpful btw
Started regularly watching now and have been looking at so many of the older videos. Love how you teach production Warren!
I went to Sae 17 years ago and I have learned more from this channel and Logic presets than the whole 3 years I spend going to school. Great info.
Hi Miguel! Wow! That's so amazing to hear my friend!
You mentioned being humble. I think that is what draws people to your channel. You tell it like it should be. Thank you Warren for sharing your talent.
Hi Clint Nelson you are far too kind my friend! I really appreciate your kind words!!
This came back such a right time for me. Great reminders and motivation to keep us music makers going!
Warren huarts heart opened. This is the video. Best , I ever seen
Extremely valuable advice, particularly for young people wanting to enter the business. You have a gift for reducing the crazy biz that is music production to normality. Thanks Warren!
Aw shucks thanks ever so much! You Rock my friend! I am so glad to be able to help!
So thankful I chose to start educating myself in production and came across your channel. This video is everything and I can’t wait to watch more. Thank you ❤️
Thanks Warren🧒 . Inspiring and motivating as always. I,ve been following you from few months and I love the content of your videos... thankyou
I have to comment and offer up a hearty thank you. The bit about moving on with projects, and not spending weeks or months agonizing over a mix, was like gold. I may have even picked it up from another of your videos, but I took a "churn and burn" strategy with my projects and, yes ,the mixes I pushed out generally sucked in big ways, but my growth has definitely accelerated big time. I can already see it. Even beyond the technical/learning end of it, this strategy kind of opened things up for me on the creative/artistic side too, since each song is a chance to try something new and the odds of landing on something really awesome increase each time. Thank you so much.
Thank you Warren, great timing for me to here your message. I listened and heard what you have mentioned in this video this evening.
Hello, my name is Dennis, I am a musician and have been making music since I was a child and I still have the feeling that I have to learn every day, this video is so real and true, you will never be really satisfied with a production thatcomes from perfectionism, but with the recording process you have learned something new again!think the way is the goal ... and your videos help a lot keep it up🔥🙏
It's always awesome to be reminded of each of those points, it's bloody easy to forget when you're up to your eyeballs in the job, but thanks for taking the time to put it back into our heads, Warren!
Great video Warren!!! I really appreciate your heart for mentorship and education. You don't have to do this but you choose to bless us with your knowledge and experience. Very encouraging, thank you!
So thankful that real ones like you are present in RUclips, 🙏🙏🙏
Warren,
This is beyond the most helpful video I have ever watched in my life. You really the nail on the head and, quite literally, addressed almost every single problem i've had in the last 2 years! THANK YOU! I can't say that enough. your videos are always of tremendous help. I've always had a problem with pushing past the itch of "finishing" something, even if its shite, rather than just moving on to make more and learn more. Seeking out info when I don't need it to just TRY and learn and fail! Sorry if I rambled. Beautiful video, beautiful soul, beautiful advice. Thanks again!
One of my hang ups, "You don't need to know everything". Ever since I was a pre-teen, I always thought that everyone was ahead of me and that I would never "catch up" to them. The first time I felt I was capable to achieve the high standards I set for myself was audio recording. I tracked and mixed my bands album and receive multiple nominations and an award from our area Grammy-like association (WAMI - Wisconsin Area Music Industry). Thanks for the video, Warren...actually, thank you for all that you do for the PLAP'ers and the music community in general.
Love what you said about people. If you can be attentive and polite you got it made. (It's not always easy.)
Thank you warren! So grateful for you and your videos. Hope your holidays were enjoyable.
I love that when you rack your brain for example musicians, you think of all those classic artists and bands. Nothing wrong with current musicians, but if we forget the old school musicians we lose the important foundation (and teachings) that give us what we have today. We learn so much by looking back. Not least how to write a bloody good song! Anyway, this is one of the best videos I have ever watched. Thank you.
7 minutes into this video and I just had to pause it and appreciate the jewels this man is dropping !!!!
I know I’m not the only one who feels a few pounds lighter from all the weight of mental frustration that comes from learning and understanding music production from scratch.
Good Spot Man ... I needed these words of wisdom ... because I’m extremely hard and harsh on myself and I tend to judge my home recordings with the professionals and I get mad at myself for not being good enough even tho I’m fully aware that I don’t possess their equipment or their expertise 😡🤬😆 ... but in hindsight ... that’s just the drive and ambition in me that wants to be great ... I’ve learned that patience and practice and diligence and discipline are key ingredients in my pursuit of musical majesty
Fantastic commentary as always, Warren. Thank you for being so generous with your experience and energy. Making a RUclips video after a long day at work is probably the last thing most of us would want to do but you are really an inspiration. Let's all get to work! That music is not going to make itself!
Thank you for encouraging us all to keep on creating, and to forge relationships with others who create. Sharing musical experiences with other musicians and people in all facets of music production broadens our thresholds and our musical horizons. Your sharing of your experiences I greatly appreciate!
Love your attitude man. Honest and without the arrogance I see from a lot of music engineers. Glad there are people like you helping to shape the industry!
Thank you very much for making this video!
I'm just getting started making music, I'm loving it so far. However, I'm horribly shy and independent. The more videos I watch, like this one, the more courageous I feel to start putting myself out there to help me learn and grow.
I'm excited to grind away and hone my skills.
Thank you for this Warren! A great video for someone who is a little daunted by the amount of things to learn when starting to record and produce their own music! 👍🏼
Thank you so very much for every piece of advice that you are so kindly giving us, your honesty is really inspiring and your modesty truly makes you a brilliant person as well as a producer, best wishes!
Thanks Warren- new subscriber. Your videos rock. This video in particular was very inspiring. It’s great to remind ourselves every now and again why we do this and ask ourselves how we can get better and feel more inspired. Your attitude of ‘giving back’ with these videos is very much appreciated and it is a great lesson for us all. Best to you and I look forward to more videos!
One of those videos that should be pinned at the beginning of every music production playlist here on RUclips! Thanks Warren!
Thank you sir. This is was definitely needed to be heard by yours truly. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom.
I just got more good life advice out of this video than I've gotten out of several trips to rehab and countless hours in group and one-on-one therapy. Seriously. I needed to hear all of this, and not even in regard to music. Thank you, Warren!
I love this video. I've been producing and writing for 6 years now. Been doing it professionally for 4 years. I still always find a ton of great tips and ideas from Warren's videos. I'm trying to help a friend get better at producing and I've been showing him these videos all the time!
Inspiring, as usual! As someone said previously, I wish I had this 20 years ago! Thanks, Warren.
Warren, your vids are always amazing...but this has to be the best one I've seen to date. Even though its said, I don't think its said enough - Thank you for what you do.
Your heart consistantly comes through in your videos Warren. Alot of people share their knowledge and experience. Many come across like genuinely good people. But when I watch your videos, I feel like you care about me. That's what's it's all about. Thank you for doing it.
Your channel its great Warren, thank you for sharing not only your production knowledge, but also your life experience and wisdom!! You are a great inspiration!!
Congrats and all the best wishes and vibes!!!
You're running one of the most informative music production and mixing & mastering channel on RUclips. I also recommended this channel to my friends and they are thinking like me about this channel. I learned lot of things from your channel and as I watch your videos, I feel like my vision expanding. Thanks for high quality content. Salutes 🤘
I subscribed this channel like months ago but now, I watched the complete video for the first time. And man, I love it.
All the suggestions that you gave, feels like experience.
Your suggestions give me a lot of answers of my doubts and re-energise me.
Thanks man. And will see more of your suggestions in future.
And yeah, I follow them too...
I've been a hobbyist for 20+ years, and I'm STILL learning new things. I find it entertaining to go back to some of my old mixes and re-working them, using knowledge an equipment I've acquired in the years since. A lot of times the recording is actually pretty good; I just didn't know how to properly mix. And since my mixes still don't sound like Warren's, I still have a lot to learn.
This is one of the most valuable videos I’ve ever watched. What makes Warren so unique is not only his talent and work but, most important, who he is as a person, his “vision” of life, his commitment and honesty...Imagine having the opportunity to have lunch with him, your life would never be the same after that!
Please keep up this awesome work of yours sir, many people around the world, including myself, rely on it for knowledge as well as carrer/life guidance! Thank you so much.
P.S. I’ll buy you lunch one day! Bye🙋🏻♂️
One of your best videos yet Warren!
These bigger picture points that you made are all things I am realizing on my own but, it is so good to have those ideas
re-affirmed by you man. Thanks so much for all you do Warren.
Love your wisdom, encouragement and positive energy. Cheers Warren!
Dearest Warren , that is possibly my favourite video that you've done , so many great truths . feel empowered , thank you
That's great to hear Nick!!
Thank you thanks you Warren for this work! It was just what I needed starting out in music production.
I always wanted to produce music.
I love music in general and I really want to do more than just listening to it.
I want to understand it and make music.
Now I started months ago and I'm still nowhere near to a decent music producer.
I often compare myself to others and bring myself down because I'm not as good as they are.
You helped me realize that it's hard work and even those producers had to start somewhere.
Not to mention that you motivated me a lot to not give up.
Thanks.
As always, great information! Thank you for all you do for us.
This is a fantastic and inspirational video, Warren. Thank you for posting it.
Thanks Warren for giving us 25 minutes of your time and presenting such inspiring words of wisdom. This is one video I will definitely watch again whenever I need a confidence boost. Thank you from Gold Coast Australia.
Thanks ever so much Michael in Australia! You Rock my friend!
One of THE best videos about music creation I have ever experienced. I use the phrase “steal with pride” a lot which people misinterpret. I’m going to steal your definition of this concept now Warren!
You don't have to know everything... what a great advice! I've spent a LOT of time looking at tutorials and haven't actually get to do a lot of practice. Time to change perspective! Thanks Warren!!!!
You're very welcome Erik! Thanks ever so much for watching my friend!
Warren, This is such a great video and just hits so many points about music and really how to live a happy positive creative life as best as possible for musicians! I've actually tried to suppress the creative musician side for years at various times in my life feeling like it was kinda of curse and taking away from that 'Normal Life' of corporate world and career, but now I realize it's a gift from God and Universe! So we must explore and share no matter happens! I've picked up many things from your videos and adding them into recording and mixing process. I'm also in process of trying to capture my old reunited three piece band's live rock jam style sound which with some of things I've learned from you have been key 🔑, especially the part where you say all the plugins in the world are great but first try to get the best possible sound printed firsthand, then you've got a great base to build the production within the DAW! Thank you ever so much Sr. Warren! 🎸😎🍺✌️🥁🙏
Thank you for sharing the experience and knowledge you have acquired on your journey to where you are today. Very encouraging and hopeful! Love your videos!
Thanks ever so much Bo! You Rock my friend! I really appreciate your kind words my friend!
Warren, it is the best advices that I've got from the internet for years. Thank you for inspiration.
great video warren, needed to hear some of this stuff, thank you!
This video just popped up on my feed, I have to say that this is perfect advise. 🎹👌🏼
Warren thanks for this video and you words of wisdom. You are the man. I particularly loved the 80/20 concept. May God continue to bless you and may you continue this journey on RUclips. We are all better because of you. Thanks again. Tony.
Warren, I really needed this. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you my friend! I really appreciate the kind words Jordan!
This is great! I have no musical knowledge or background, I don’t play any instruments but I do own an iPad! I found a DAW and built 40+ songs... they suck but a few people seem to enjoy them! Point being, if I can pick up and iPad and iPhone earbuds and create music I can just imagine what an actual musician could accomplish!! Great message here Warren! 😎👍🏻
I think this is one of the most important videos you've ever made. Subscribing to your channel was one of the best things I've ever done. Thanks again Warren and have a great day!
Great encouragement! Thanks Warren. I can't wait to get myself setup!
Amazing! Glad to be able to help my friend!!
Love the vids ive watched so far thanks again Mr Huart, I'm 58 now and no longer have to do the day job so ive set up the bedroom studio with a Behringer XENYX 802 USB Mixer with 2 ins and 2 outs, Reaper as my DAW, My old guitar and a mic i cant remember the name of, Cant play or sing that well but let the journey begin! I've always had the urge to produce and only just have the opportunity. Thank you again for giving your time and knowledge to so many people. .
Warren, thank you for your calming and inspiring eloquence as always. You are so many times the voice of reason in these early morning hazes. Blessings, tight hug. LASE
Such an amazing video! Thank you!
Thank you Warren. Very interesting things you pointed out! So helpful!
Warren,
You are an awesome human and a rock solid musical talent! Your explain things in such an enthusiastic and engaging manner that it is impossible to click away from your videos once clicked play. 😂
Thanks so much for such inspiring advice based on your life experience. Much love and respect from big ole Texas! 🏆🎶
i literally love this video so much! thank you for everything you do
Aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend
The first thing you mentioned was very apropos, Warren -- yesterday I was trying to finish yet another something I started a while back and it's still not coming together but I decided to set it aside and move on to something new. Now I'm sure it was the right decision. Thanks for all your help.
So glad to be able to help!! Great to hear your experience and insight! Thanks ever so much my friend!
I can't begin to describe all this good stuff I'm feelin' right now. Thank you so much for bringing your knowledge to so many people. You are a gift, my brother. Your presence here is priceless
Find myself full of energy after watching the video. Thanks , Warren.
Your channel is pure gold Warren. Huge inspiration :)
Thanks a lot Warren. Each & every point hit me.. keep up the good work :)
Thanks for sharing this Warren, I think they are all great points and very good advice.
Needed this today Warren, thanks
Even 15 years into recording and mixing music 🎶 I still needed to hear these things . Thanks mate
Thank you Warren for number 7. This is so true and I've been realising it this year.
Thank you Warren. You said the right words I needed to hear.
Thanks for this video Warren. I can say that as a musician/ engineer I've fallen into every single one of the misconceptions you outlined and this video really helped me to take a step back and feel better about what I've accomplished.
Me too! That's why these things resonate with me so much!!
Wow, incredible video. Thanks Warren! I've learnt so much from you over the years.
all your videos have been a tremendous help for me. big thanks for sharing your knowledge n stuff
You are such a breath of fresh airy inspiration, wisdom and joy. Thank you again and again! To mention my Son again... he often tells me to ”Just get started and the inspiration will come.”
Just to touch on an aspect of your video. Thank you again for what I know is coming from your Heart.
Wow! Thanks ever so much! That really means a lot may friend!
30 years in the biz here...and yet, every time I watch your vids I learn something! Dropping truth bombs!!
refreshing pep talk/reality check (again) - thanks, Warren, you rock.
Thank you Warren. This was just what I needed.
Love the honesty. Helping me out immensely on my journey. 'Studio' (read 15 year old shed conversion) build 60% complete and relationships improving all the time. Just need to understand " What colour my parachute is" 🤣
Your opening argument is so true! I learned that too late in live. Only when I got into VFX (and that’s only 11 years ago) I was taught by my teacher, to do a lot of things. Having knowledge is not enough, you need apply it. So he urged me to make at least a VFX based video a week. And I have an IT company to run as well (which pays the majority of the bills). So I had to squeeze in shooting a video and doing FX. And they are on my channel and you see a definite improvement as my acquired knowledge and experience grew the productions got bigger. It made me realize that I love compositing (basically mixing of images) and doing environment work the most. And it prepared me for the industry, as you can’t wait for inspiration to strike. You need to produce results, you only get paid when the shots (or songs) are delivered. And at the same time that also helped me as a musician, because I always thought that my song wasn’t good enough. Or could be better. But there’s no such thing as perfection. Give yourself a fixed amount of time (I did that with the vfx videos - 24 hours) and accept the quality. And realize that next project it’s going to be better and better and better.
I worked at Disney for a bit on a TV show and there musicians have to write and record songs in less than an hour! It’s quite astonishing how they can do that. And in our team they were complaining that we had only 4 hours to do a green screen composite :) That’s plenty of time compared to writing lyrics, music and recording it in an hour. And those actors are also insane! The ease with how they learn whole new pages of dialogue that are rewritten in mere minutes, is insane.
The creative industry isn’t pretentious and a fun creative place. It’s brutal hard, nose to the grind stone work. I now frankly do my IT projects to recuperate and getting paid better than in the arts at the same time. It’s just not very creative (despite being a programmer).
Thank you, many a good word spoken. Warren your a true gent, glad I found you!
This is so inspiring! Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for this video!
Great. My father was sound engineer since 1948 to 1990 at pathé Marconi EMI studio in Paris (Boulogne). All the good things you explain, he told me a long time ago. Work, relation ship, psychology, attitude, working, working, working. It's not easy but it's a good way of life, and not only in sound and music. Thanks for that.
Rrreeeaaaallllyyyyy great video. Thanx ever so much for putting it out😎😊👍
Great advice Warren, thank you for that.
I have a nagging voice that doesn’t shut up about my music production stuff. Glad you were here to sort it out.
