Something I’ve heard that really stuck with me is “a masterpiece that will never see the light of day will always mean less than a song that exists.” Hearing that for the first time really got my head into gear.
I Made Music I My First Time I'm Suck Now I'm Making More Music I Will Upload This Soon And I Put Much Effort In Stuff Like Mental Health But Making Music It's A Great Thing
Damn, I really needed this.. hope it reaches more people honestly. And if you have time can you do an Fl Studio Vocal preset for pop punk like "Bloody Valentine".
Appreciate how honest you are about this and this is great advice. As someone who's done exactly as you said at the start of my music production journey, spending days on mixes and not knowing when its done. I'll be giving this advice a good go starting today :) Many Thanks Dean
Thanks for making this video! I've been working forever on a Friday Night Funkin mod, and I haven't gotten much done in that time, so I will happily take your advice.
Really needed to hear this! Super guilty of always feeling like I have to tweak mixes on and on to get them good enough. Def going to strive less on perfection and more on accomplishing. Thanks Dean!
that logic of 80/20 is something I was slowly aknowledging. there A LOT of stuff I work a long time on, carefully crafting every aspect because I am affraid of it not working. but some stuff that are done in a few hours are relatively well received, so it really shake my perfectionism. I am still very affraid of having the thing I really wanted to make being flawed, because I fear of having "miss the mark". but... I guess it doesn't have to be that way. thanks for those videos. it's those type of videos that really help me (and probably a ton of peoples) integrating the idea that doing what you love is more important than suceeding in it: cause you learn much more from that.
That hits really hard, and resonates far beyond music production and artistic work; I'm a senior software engineer and have, for years, been trying to get better at recognizing when the thing is done and I should move on to the next one.
The 80/20 rule is such a great one to live by, especially in music production, or any art for that matter. Just getting out what matters is so much more educational for next time, and it makes you feel more accomplished to even get something out at all.
This can also apply in situations outside of music! It’s another form of practice! Working on a mod? Get a concept down, make it work, put it out. You’ll improve and in turn you can improve that project or work on another!
These 2 videos that you've put out so far have been exactly what I've been looking for. I've been producing music for almost a year now, and these tips, although already doing some of them (mostly from this video), it lets me realize what I should work on, or push towards in the long run. In other words, I need more. >:D
This is outstanding advice and I think it would really help me and others develop as music producers. I make music and I think this would really help me and others. Thank you for this.
I make music for fun with Garageband and I'm a pretty young creative with an entrepreneur mom and this was the same advice she'd always tell me, I just needed to hear it phrased differently as I am quite sensitive with criticism. This was what I needed as I have an animation project that requires me to make a cover and sing for it! I managed to remake an old Chaos FNF remix I made 3 months ago because of you and I finished it within 3 days, the mixing needs some work but with your advice, I think I can improve myself and my works, both my art and music! As a newbie in making music, do you have any tips with starting out learning how to produce music? I just started teaching myself music and it's not perfect, but it works for me, and I want to learn more so I can post other things while I animate as music-making also helps with my emotional health! As always, thank you so much for this video, Mr Dean! Please make more videos like these, I'd love to learn more! ^^ 🌱💕
Awesome, I'm so glad to hear that! My best advice for making music is always to make the music you love. To borrow from my "It's Okay To Steal" video, my #1 recommendation is to remake songs you love, from scratch, by ear. You'll learn everything about how they did what they did in the process. I'll have plenty more tutorials on here soon to help you out.

Well that’s why my upload schedule is absolute shit

thanks for giving me hope, I was kinda worried, but this is pretty reassuring

It's the good old Vulfpeck method! And it seems to work :D
Aight, imma speedrun music learning by making 12 songs, each one being a note of the chromatic scale, and nothing else
honestly i've heard worse ideas
You'll learn all of the chromatic scale though, that's for sure.
That hits really hard, and resonates far beyond music production and artistic work; I'm a senior software engineer and have, for years, been trying to get better at recognizing when the thing is done and I should move on to the next one.
I love this mindset! Gonna use it for learning everything i need till my gig with my band! Love you!
Me when dean talks music
