Finish the song is definitely the #1 TIP!!! - Not finish the song to the point where it can be mastered. Finish it to the point where it has a complete song structure (beginning, middle, end, chorus, verse, whatever). - Do it in one sitting is just as important. Start a song and finish it in one sitting! Not the next day! - Living up...😐 to that ideal is Gold.
If you don't fail, you don't learn. My tip, have fun, don't be serious and start with the mindset of 'im gonna make a banger'. Try and start with that naive mentality we all had when starting out, because that's when those happy accidents happen and you end up with something original and ultimately 'you'... Your sound, your music.
I actually love go back in the musicians profiles and look for they older stuff and also older Aliases and listen, mot of the times, a lot of stuff and genres they tested before succeding. Thats inspiring af
yeah, but there's also that one that you gotta know the rules in order to break them. As an amateur and beginner I find it more rewarding to stick to the rules, until I know better :) There's much that goes into production and advanced sound design is definitely not the thing with which you should begin learning to produce with, well that's my takeaway from my experiments at least :)
You said, you weren't happy with the piano-samples .. I had an idea: Tune the single-note-samples, then you can use those by themselves and feed it to something like FL Studio's "DirectWave" instrument. Theoretically, the result should be a piano-instrument, that sounds much like the old piano, just perfectly in tune. Then it should be able to stand on it's own in the mix and sound unique at the same time.
Awesome tips, I have a question.. About completing a track. I have a drop and chords for break ready, however, I do not know how do i approach the break from that 8 bar chord. Any help from your end would be awesome. Thank you in advance 🙏🏽
lol i had the same exact problem with the guitar the other day, applied very clever effect from a producer point of view but ended up sounding horrid and the problem also is you really can't tell on the spot
Thank you for your Honesty. It just helps insanely so that you finally finish things. Thanks a lot for your support. Peace. ✌️
"too many elements" - spot on correct. This is what I am learning: "less can be more".
Yes but make sure this elements (percussions) sound fat so you track don’t sound so dull..
Thank you for the great simple honest advice. May the force be with you ✨

deeeeeeep
... so true!
Yeah. But remember: people who don't follow the rules make the most interesting and innovative music in many cases.

You really think he's going to listen to you and do the changes?
Awesome tips,

Thank you in advance 🙏🏽
Listen to a bunch of songs from the same genre and get ideas from them. It's easy to copy paste, but the key is to get inspired by them
@@artixmusic4126 true bro, thanks
Really great video! Nice one.
Hahaha I love your vibes in this video
Hey Jon, could you make these samples from the piano you recorded ready for a download to this community? 🙃
pressure from martin garrix is only bass kick and a vocal, so you can make good song with to much bass
lol i had the same exact problem with the guitar the other day, applied very clever effect from a producer point of view but ended up sounding horrid and the problem also is you really can't tell on the spot
Hahahahahah confus I love u hahahaha 😂😂

I’m gonna make a song that breaks all these rules and send it to you
