You seriously are legit and really good at explaining. Very generous and kind as your knowledge is extensive and so valuable. Can't believe like watching so many yt videos to only discover you last night for the first time. Massively appreciate. 🙌. I went thru a heap of your videos, been such a great refresher and been picking up a heap of new tricks. Cheers 🙂
Bro, your thoughts are clear, you have open and kindful personality. I know that good comments that people leave make the creator of vids feel better, so i want to thank you because you help a lot and save young musicians like myself
A topic worth covering. I recall once being taught that the old phrase "action follows motivation" often works in reverse. Sometimes when we just commit to doing something we have set aside or avoided, that once we start, it doesn't seem that bad or even inspires us. I know it has helped me in aspects like music & going to the gym regularly. It takes a mental push to start, but during & afterwards you feel glad you did. Soon it can build confidance & help develop routine.
Cant thank you enough for this !!! Throughout the video I felt so much personal , its like your talking to me and I am sure everybody who is watching felt that way . " Separating yourself from your art " this is where I have been stuck forever . I hope I can improve all the things I have realised today . also I have learnt a lot from you so Thank You for everything !!
I'm glad you could relate to this. Their a weird feeling in this, like, it's easy to think "I'm alone in this" and "this happens to a lot of people" both at the same time. It's good to see that by sharing this, we can lift each other up.
very nice video normally this kind of videos are a bit underwhelming bc they rightfully repeat many kown arguments, but this one is so well putted and sincere, I actually learnt something.
Thank you very much for the honest recollection of your own struggles with finishing projects and the helpful advice. Unfortunately it's the same for me since starting to work with my DAW - Feeling a lot of pressure, regarding the quality to a point where I cannot continue because I despise my inner struggles too much. Relating myself to the work and feeling not enough is definitely a significant part of it. I got reminded of different techniques from psychology. Directly related to specific struggles would be WOOP. A more broad approach to get distance from exhausting thoughts are defusion techniques from ACT. Cheers, really get a lot out of your videos!
Excellent traitment for a complicated question ! Oh, wait, are you french ? Ton accent me semble bien venir de l'hexagone ! Félicitation pour ta diction et ton vocabulaire ! Et on attends tes prochaines releases avec impatience l'ami !
I have this weird obsession of trying to not write chord progressions that haven't been written before, which ultimately leads me to not writing a chord progression at all.
Can totally relate to that. Weirdly, intentionally start a song with a chord progression that "everybody use" can help get out of that. Trying to write something original starting with something common can be easier than to start from nothing at all.
Thanks Woochia, very insightful. I think about this a lot too. I came to the conclusion to rid myself of the hurdles and obstacles that get in the way of the creative process, and form a practice that I can keep coming back to. For me that means mostly ditching the DAW and build a "groove station" which is a table of electronic instruments that I can walk up to and perform a groove. Working in a DAW is like sculpting a song like chipping away at a block of marble. It's time consuming, and your mindset always falls into perfectionism which often ruins things. Or at least is lacking a spontaneous energy. Now if instead you just walk up to your groove station and perform something (with your camera recording in OBS) you can develop a library of performances that you can later decide to publish or not. As you get better at your practice of live performance, a certain creative and inspired energy is imbibed in your work that cannot be reproduced with the perfectionist DAW paradigm. I plan on releasing such performances, and would love to see yours as well if you like that practice too. I love the artistry I see in your tutorials and demos. It's such a tease, that I want to see you groove out freestyle!
I can totally relate to that, DAW tends to put you in a perfectionism mindset and that is often more paralysing than anything. Right now I'm working more with to-do lists to push myself forward and not get stuck, but I really like the idea of leaning more on a spontaneous groove machine workflow
I hope youre still planning on doing a big music recording tutorial as you mentioned to me before in the comments of a previous video. There is WAY TOO MUCH EDM in this world and not enough recorded live music. Making good tutorials is well within your abilities, no need to worry about imposter syndrome. Also I suggest using Reaper. Its the cheapest DAW, no yearly subscription. Also the trial never expires so its perfect for people who are not sure they want to commit to buying it. And from what I see its a very underrated DAW, easily the most customizable DAW. I would say its equal or better than Pro Tools. I think most DAWs get used for their plugin ecosystem and not for anything about the DAW itself. Just record a bar band playing live in a studio (when I say studio, I just mean in any room with a bunch of mics plugged into an adapter which is plugged into a laptop). And then go through the process of mixing, applying effects and mastering. Most of the production tutorials on youtube just show how to use midi or samples which I think removes the music creation process from the tutorial.
Thanks for the suggestion. You might like the series of videos I'm working on at the moment: that's a series where I will finish tracks I made a few years ago, so I would retouch the structure of a song, every sounds individually, and maje the whole thing sound better. The idea is to get tips for composition, mixing and workflow all from the experience of a real project.
@@Woochia OK, but I hope those tracks are a complete song and not one of those tutorials where you take a bunch of samples and sprinkle them throughout the timeline until it starts turning into a song. I HATE those kind of tutorials. Please, bring back song recording and not song construction inside a DAW.

this is why I love this channel, super practical and great teacher but also very human and not afraid to be a little vulnerable with their viewers!

Thanks a lot. Writing this video certainly helped me organise my thoughts too :)
Would love more videos but massive respect anyway ❤. Genius
I'd like to make more too. This year I should upload more regularly than for the last 3 months :) at least that's the plan
Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos j'ai commencer le sound design récemment et vos vidéos m'ont bien aidé !
Avec plaisir 🙂
Thank you! Just thank you for what you do. I learn a lot from your videos.

Thanks a lot, and thanks for the WOOP and the ACT, I didn't know what it was and I just looked it up
