Hi lovely! here is the link to the new channel: www.youtube.com/@iwasjustthinking
Being a producer its normal that we have some lows and highs, fortunately is just brief state, in our days we have a lot of tutorials like yours that can helps us to create our music, not to mention those plugins, samples, etc! But I think you a have a good idea, special talk about our mental sanity, for example those remixes contest, I don't think its a good thing for our mental sanity in all aspects, because our expectations could not fix to the others and music shouldn´t be a competition!

I LOVE YOU LNA!!!! YOU are a HUGE INSPIRATION! Thank you for your transparency and inspiration! As a female DJ and Music Producer I am grateful to have found you. You are an amazing human being. Thank you💜
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you LNA, you are a big inspiration for me
i hear ya but i stay positive and inspiration is always there i'd say time is my biggest struggle, work family hard to get time for music but i force myself and its always fun and above all therapeutic i don't make music cause i want to i have to .
The industry is an illusion. "We have all the keys...to all the doors". It don't matter if you make one album or one song or 10 albums....don't trust 'the industry'. The higher you go, the less oxygen. Music should be enjoyed. I see people making a four bar loop and be smug. I see the industry marketing beat making machines for artificial demographics.
If you learn a piece on the piano and make 1000 mistakes at one part.....when your brain over comes that, it's not learnt the mistake that you repeated but has 9/10 corrected it. To the point you can now play that part and now you're stuck somewhere else......Meaning, the industry abuses creativity for profit and sells temptation but really seeks to make fishers of men and women.
So enjoy it. It's silly people that have turned a gift into a market that don't celebrate our potential but rather focuses on individuals so that they can influence masses of people in any which way they see fit.
I am really interested in this new channel idea :)
yes I feel like it's gonna be good! Hope you'll like it! :)

My take on it, from someone who dabbles in music, and is a professional filmmaker, is that it depends on what you do and how and where you talk about these things. For example, if potential clients saw cracks in confidence, it would very likely put them off. So talking about these things is needed, but be careful with how you do it, and do it somewhere that you won't come to regret I guess.
yes I get that. I think it exactly depends what type of career you want and what type of people you wish to impress. I personally don't mind opening up about these conversations as if someone doesn't except me as I am, then I am not too eager to work with them either. But I am not aiming for very traditional career anyhow :D But also, even though I talk about these things publicly I don't think everyone needs to. Hope me being open about it gives others (even privately) little bit encouragement and validation about their feelings
how you don't get an anxiety when creating 6min video you need to pause, cut and continue editing this video with 100 stops?
Hah I am not native English so need to cut lots of stuff away 😅
is time to upgrade your interface, baby girl? lol
My whole approach to music has been vastly different than most of my peers, and I seem to have very different ideas about industry as a whole. Ultimately, I've decided to put everything on the back burner, and to not worry about the "ageism" that plagued musicians in the past. I can do it in my late 30's and 40's with the same vigor (I am 35 now), and I can do it without losing site of my dreams so long as... *drum roll plz*...... I have MONEY in the BANK, first.
That's my solution.
I don't want to be in a place where I try to make music in stressful situations (I.E. being broke) and ultimately I've observed basically every musician I know has basically failed, professionally, meaning they're definitely not making a living from it (aside from teachers). Many of them are trying to write hit songs whilst failing to realize bands like Lightning Bolt and Sunn O))) don't play music that could ever be heard on the radio and they have more monthly listeners than all my friends who're trying to write that "magic song" that turns them into big stars.
I am a dreamer too. I will get there. I will tour the world, and I will be a success, but again, my approach is completely different. All my friends are in bands and I am hard at work, saving my money, so I can enjoy what they're trying to enjoy now, far more and far better when I am a little bit older and more financially stable. The guitarist of Garbage didn't release their first big release until he was 40. Karl Sanders of my favorite death metal band Nile didn't release Nile's first album until he was 35. I think the secret is understanding how industry has changed, and gone are the days where record labels cherry pick and groom talent for the masses to consume. It needs to be thought of as more of a "small business" and this is common sense! Or, so you would think...
Whenever I mention money to musicians, they cringe..
It's almost as though they thought every time people wanted to open a pizza restaurant, they would do so under the impression their pizza's were so amazing someone would do all of this, for them. Because that was the old model of business! You play the music and they (the industry) will do the rest. I don't know why they (the musicians) think this, because even people who own actual pizza restaurants KNEW THEY WOULD NEED SOME MONEY TO OPEN THE PIZZA RESTAURANT.
Because that's how the world works, sadly.
In short, my solution to today's industry?
Start later, and fund it yourself.
I've basically decided I won't attempt pursuing music professionally until I have about 50k in the bank. Its all a big o'l secret I keep in my back pocket, waiting for the prefect time to pounce...
The time is coming. (my music is starting to rock, thx partially to your awesome RUclips channel)
