I AM that person, and you HAVE done your job. I have learned so much from you, and your method of presenting and teaching has helped me to continue to grow my knowledge and understanding of recording and producing. Thank you Mike, truly!
I'm so happy to hear this, thank you!
You good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you.
Mike, thanks to you, I've gone from a complete noob to someone who's very comfortable writing and recording my own songs using all the useful tips and tutorials you've given us. Thank you for being YOU!
Mike, this is exactly why I land on this channel day after day. Not for the technical advice, Albeit top notch. But because you care. You’re someone who has walked the walk, so I listen to you talk to talk. And it has helped me many times. And Ithank you my friend.
Mike, I'm British and patting yourself on the back is not 'the done thing' - it is easier to say how bad you are at things.
However, you have earned the 'I am good enough' badge because you have impacted many lives in a positive way - and wow, the world needs that at the moment!
Your videos are informative but also have a humanity behind them - pat on the back from me today and hopefully a hug from someone you love comes your way too. 🤗
Hey Mike !
You’re a Great Mentor.
Thank you. Yes the universe needs every single one of us to bring something different.
Thanks James :)
Hi Mike, I agree with all the comments shown here but I just want to add my personal thanks for your all your comments and views. I am not a musician by any means, I love music and can create music using today’s technology and I will continue to so. My creations can’t be placed in a category because I feel that I’m an individual. Your videos have helped me tremendously and I am learning all the time. I am always reminded of something Paul McCartney once said in an interview, and it was that in creating music ‘there are no rules’. So you’re right, let’s all be individuals. Many thanks.
What an awesome boost to my day! Thank you for taking your time to do this for us.
Coming from someone who inspires me enormously, I am massively grateful for this comment Sanjay. Thank you.
I am not the one person who needed to watch this video. But I'm certainly "one" of those people. Thanks, Mike!
Imposter Syndrome is common amongst musical artists. When I started singing and writing songs I did not think of myself as either of these, but as time has gone by I have had to accept that I can do these things. I don’t judge the quality just the appreciation and enjoyment I have had in the process.
Much of this is because I have started to find a comfort zone. This ‘comfort’ comes from the people that supported me; who helped me overcome my own negative outlook.
Mike you have been one of my supporters. I couldn’t have produced songs so easily without your guidance and mentorship.
Together we improve. Like you, I don’t have a Grammy, but I know the journey I have come on. Today I am better than yesterday, and with support and belief I will be better tomorrow.
We cannot all of us do everything but many of us have a small piece of a larger equation. Putting all these parts together and collaborating we collectively become better.
Keep up the good work.
EXCELLENT video Mike! Most of us are not good enough, but that is what drives me. Never gonna be? That’s accepting defeat. Not me. I’ll die trying to get better! Aaron Pernell
THAT is the spirit Aaron!
I'm not in a bad place, haven't been for quite some time now, but at 62yo it is still great to get the boost of confidence this video just gave me. This has nothing to do with any musical aspirations whatsoever, just a generic feeling reminding me that I can be at peace with myself, regardless of other peoples judgement about me.
You hit the right 🎶with this one, thanks for that!
That's awesome. I may need to watch it occasionally myself! ;p
You are good enough helping me with Cakewalk! It is I that I am not good enough...
Joe Meek said something like, if it sounds good, it is good. Youre doing just fine, and i hope i am!
I'm 100% certain you are. Thanks Clem.
I come from that culture too! Knowing you are good at something is seen as arrogance. In the sports world it manifests as the graceful runner up. There's something in the psyche of many of us that makes us fixate more on what we can't do than what we can. The analogy about the un-balanced Universe is a very helpful one. Thank you.
I am that person today Mike... Thanks for saving me! x
Well said Mike! For me, you're the best being The Normal One. I 've had enough of that loud mouth fast talking guru's with their 2 minutes 'secrets'. They won't help you, but you do! Thanks again!
I've been doing this music thing since the 70s. Back then I was sure I was going to be a rock star. Moved to LA where I was turned down by every Record Company for years. Moved home kept trying kept learning hoping some day to get somewhere somehow. Got some great gigs and a lot more crappy ones. Still thought there has to be a reason why I had this fire in me.
One day I finally realized that the gift of music I was given was for me to love and to give me happiness. I have several albums out not much commercial success, but I love doing it every day.
Once in a while someone reaches out and tells me they like my stuff
Thanks Mike for your insight and knowledge and for sharing what you have with us
We all like your Stuff!
Thanks Mike Yu are completely right. I am my worst critic and this is why I dont finish my music. Time to change
That's the spirit! Be bold :)
learnt all from you and today i can proudly say that I AM GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY MUSIC PRODUCTIONS. will soon be releasing an album containing 8 songs. mostly classic rock, blues, country and folk rock.
So strange how the universe works, This is something thats been on my mind a lot recently... Thanks Mike
I hope it's helpful Gary.
I needed to hear this right now. I'm seeking to collaborate with a few vocalists for a metal song I have. Today, this kid made some comments that made me feel not good enough. His loss.
Good comments, and thanks for being perfectly you!
You Mike ,sir,are DA BOMB man....I've actually watched you & ALL UR VALUABLE, INSIGHTFUL,AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE videos for musical productions & recording !!!! I would not know anything much about CAKEWALK if not for you Mike,nor the tips N tricks done in the recording aspect of music !!! THANKS MIKE,FOR BEING YOU Sir...and KEEP EM COMING!!!!✌️🤜🤛
This is all really interesting and relevent to me me because a while ago I sent you some of my recordings having struggled with the production side, and the negatives were all I could really hear. You came back to me saying that the production didn't matter, because you were so impressed with my voice. At first I was surprised at this response from someone who has a RUclips channel on audio production! But when I thought about it, I felt a tremendous sense of pride and -for want of a better word - validation, but it also made me realise that when we produce material, other people are hearing things, and appreciating things that we can't neccessarily hear ourselves, and ironically I now feel a lot more relaxed about the production side, and more momentum to take on new learning, and improve. So as always, thanks Mike!
I can make people cry with my vocals! After just a few seconds, they're crying in pain and telling me to stop! 🤣🤣 But maybe with your words of advice, I can stop making them cry and start making them listen. It's all in your attitude about yourself and the dedication you put into your craft, whatever that may be. Great video!!
Well done Mike we all need help with everything at some point so Thankyou for everything you've given me and all of us who watch you. My name is Sean from England I post my own music on you tube which you have helped me make and it's made me proud of myself and...
I haven't finished yet the journey continues.
Thank you friend
❤
I have always been one of these guys that look at what I do wrong to see how I can improve. I recorded a track and asked the guy that I help at the church; by doing the sound desk. I wanted his advice about my drum tracks. I did the guitars and bass myself at home, and this was just a hobby track. He ended up copying the track and playing it on the Sunday service. I was blown away by what everyone thought of it. I just didn't expect anyone to like it. You are right, we can all resonate with others if we work at it.
Wonderful story. I'm so happy for you man, well done :)
I'd much rather watch someone having fun at what they are doing than someone being all professional and "up there".
Thanks for everything you do, Mike. I don't record professionally, but it's a hobby that brings me joy and your videos have made it even more joyful. Good on ya!
Absolutely necessary to put these ideas in today's young people, who have not learned to enjoy and much less feel the weight of things, they need to know that not everything is vanality, that musical production and in general all forms of art, need to be sincere, heartfelt, that come from the heart and mind of someone who vibrated them in their innermost self. So you couldn't be more good than excellent, in each of your words, dear and dear Mike, without you I would not have recorded a single audio that I have today, and I learned all that from you, with simple, kind words , knowledgeable and super super constructive. You are the best, at least for me!
Excellent presentation, Mike.
Bill P.
Thanks Bill :)
My pleasrure, Mike. 😀
Thanks Mike. That is a personal message. I always feel inadequate when I see what others do. I am working on that but also improving the quality of my work. I also recognise that sometimes "good" is very subjective and who knows what "enough" ends up being....thanks for the advice.
Wise words indeed. Thanks Mike. x
I think one of the positive things about RUclips is we get to see other imperfect people putting videos out and successfully finding an audience.
Yes, there are trolls everywhere in the comments but we need to realize that the trolls are there primarily to compensate for their own feelings of inadequacy so their opinions don't count.
What a wonderful, thoughtful reflection. I've bookmarked this video and will return to it whenever necessary for a moral boost.
Your teachings and insights into DAWs. recording techniques etc are all highly valuable, but I think videos like this are equally as important.
You have this incredible ability to break explanations down into a language that all can understand and comprehend. For me, that in itself leads me to believe that you have done your job in a superlative manner. For me, that is everything that I need to be better, even if a little, at my trade, and for that, kudos to "your" ability to do so....each and every time.
Good on you Mike. We probably all need to be reminded that we are all always in the right place at the right time doing the right thing. My partner and I have an acronym for this - RPRT - Right place, right time. Helps to keep us grounded. Thanks for this video, I for one, needed to see it and be reminded so your efforts are all worthwhile. 👍🧙♂
For anyone interested in diving a bit deeper into this it's called imposter syndrome.
It's definitely something I've gone back and forth with in my music journey. I never believed I was a good singer and was always unhappy with my voice, but I've had quite a lot of people compliment me on the 'honesty' or ' 'vulnerability' of it I've the past couple of years (Mike was one of them!) and now I really lean into that style.
And I hope you're well too Mike. Nice subject, applicable not only in music or producing, but in whole life too.
Your videos have taken me from a complete DAW beginner to somebody that can make pretty nice demos of my songs. I can sing, I can write songs but my guitar playing IS simple and repetitive. But I just do my thing. Thank you 🤘🙂.
Thank You for Teaching me Cakewalk Mike
Hi Mike, and I hope YOU'RE well. I AM well and a part of that is down to you and your content. Thank you.
Yours was one of the first channels I subbed to when I became interested in making music. Never regretted it, always get something from it, and will remain tuned in for the forseeable. Great advice as ever, Mike
I am that person too. Your channel has been a real inspiration to me. I would never have had the skills or confidence to release my first single (‘Why Do You Op by Terra Monkey’) and for that I thank you from the bottom of heart.
Love the philosophy behind your motivation man. It’s a fine line between self critique and self doubt, and maintaining that balance over the course of a career can be almost impossible at times. It’s always a comfort to see people we admire or aspire to facing the same challenges. Can’t have been easy making this video, but thank you for encouraging others to stay true to themselves, and instilling the belief that we each have something inside us capable of boundless possibilities if we can just invest the time into it over the long haul and not give up. Top bloke 👍
Thank you Mike. This was just what I needed to hear today. Your humanity & compassion are there for all to see & I love the way you address these types of issues. Now, about compression..............???!!!!!
So, to sum up, think less and do more.
Hell is other people, said JP Sartre. Other people's opinions are important, that's a fact. But where you're right is that it's by doing things that we progress, and that the only worthwhile "competition" is against ourselves. Good talk.
Thanks, Mike for your great, educational and methodical videos. I would not have been where I am today and understood music production the way I understand it today. I am also very grateful for the Creative Sauce group who so generously answer and help with the questions we have as beginners. A very valuable resource. You are right that we should feel valued. God has created us so that we will build each other up with our talents, gifts and in that way enrich the world and develop these for our neighbor to share. Just as you say, the diversity within our genre also increases the joy of many who would not otherwise get to listen to the song and text that might lift the day they need it most. Thank you for all you contribute to this for us who learn and follow your great videos and the great mentor you are.
Mike, you truly educate, entertain, and inspire me with your videos and words. I am not looking to be a rockstar. I tinker with instruments and recording equipment in my bedroom and I am the only one that hears and enjoy them. I am not going to be a musical superstar and I am absolutely fine with that. Luckily pursuing my part-time musical hobby has allowed me to come into contact with exceptional individuals like you Mike. Please do not stop delighting us with your presentations Mike🙌
Mike, no one is better, they are just further down the road. I learned that a long time ago. Nice video.
You got my studio up and running bud. You may not know it but you did. It's hard getting started doing this and your channel was so helpful.
Great message, very inspiring, even to someone who's been banging his head on this wall for over 50 years, thanks!
Thanks Mike for a great video, one from the heart. You definately have far more knowledge than many of us, but its your down to earth delivery, no ego or attitude in your videos, is why I remain watching and learning from you Mike. I don't want to see people who have tickets on themselves as teachers. Its also the human qualities, kindness, and respect that make you an excellent YT channel educator. Thank you for what you give and try not to be so hard on yourself and same for others. Your doing very well, and are greatly appreciated. Quietly pat yourself on the back and pickup a guitar and make some more music, its soothing. Cheers mate 👍👍😎😎😎👏👏👏
Thank you for making this video. Thx for being our teacher.
Hi, Mike, thank you so much over the years! The world as a whole is diminished when we only have copycats running around saying we should be like them... Thank you for being who you are too!
Thank you Ilan. One of my earliest subscribers. I'm always greatful for you. Thank you!
YOU are good enough! You are honest and have helped me being where i am today
There a lot of THAT person out there thanks so much for this video. I know you've suffered with mental health in the past as have I so thanks again for the honesty it's very refreshing
Perfect video! I remeber the track of mine that you and your mates reviewed on your "Feateured Artists" video. It was my second ever recording and I remember you saying something like, "I don't think he likes his singing voice" (which ewas true!). The track ended up on RUclips or somewhere and someone (a lady, for goodness sake) said "oh my God. That voice, I absolutely love it!". Just confirms your view that for someone, it was good enough!
Hi Mike,
I think this is the first time I've commented on a video, as it's just not something I do. But I think the message in this video is great and I definitely needed to hear it, especially from someone so accomplished.
I'm still in the early days of writing and producing music and there are so many challenges that need to be overcome without self doubt beating you into submission.
I seem to be most productive when I do it for me, and let go of any ambitions that can cause undue pressure resulting in more self criticism.
Keep up the good work and thanks 👍
Wise words as always, thank you. Despite all the RUclips channels out there trying to guide me through using DAWs, it’s always you that is the most engaging and useful. I am now virtually fluent in ‘Cakewalk’ and have produced some quite decent songs thanks to you! Not bad for a drummer that sings a bit! Keep going Mike!
Nice and wise words from the Master!...you are a great teacher.
Your guide has helped me understand many things in musical production and above all your closeness despite all your experience, you are a great friend who shares his knowledge, thank you very much Mike
Greetings from Chile!
Thanks a lot. You said it. There's not even one letter to add,
I found Mike when looking for tutorials on Cakewalk, just wanted to make some background music for my youtube content (niche subject and I have a dry delivery). Mike, you just have a way about you, kind of the Bob Ross of music production. You helped immensely, not only with Cakewalk but with music as a whole. I might not make great songs, but each one I make I feel better about. And more to the point regardless if I can use it, I have great fun trying. Thanks blu for all you do (and a nudge to sponsors, I did buy the FM8 plugin after seeing your vid) 😊
Thank you so much Mike. I very much appreciate what you've said.
Thanks again Moke for helping all of us in the Creative Sauce community...and me personally.
I lit up a cigarette and grabbed my coffee at 1:29. This was great advice! I always enjoy your videos, I've learned a bit about Studio One from them!
Perfect timing !
Consider it as a job done.
Thank you Mike.
Very inspirational. Thank you for being you, Mike.
Thank you, Mike! I’ve learned so much from you, and no doubt will continue. I’m sure there are several people that needed to hear this, myself included. I hope you’re well ✌🏻🫶🏻
Thank you Mike for all that you do. Thank you for your encouragement. God bless ypu
I will never write "The Readheaded Girl!".....
Thanks Mike, that's all there is to say really.
Thankyou for this ❤ I was that person for way too long, wasted so much of my life stuck in that mindset. I went to hypnotherapy and it changed my life. Confidence does not equate to cockiness. What you said about the universe was very powerful & someone else told me something very similar recently so the message is getting through loud & clear 😊
20 mins of applause!!! I came from your same "culture", dear Mike. What you are talking about is well described by the Quantum Resonance phenomenon. Cooperation instead of competition. A completely different paradigm of society. But we're working on it. Humanity will change soon. The whole world will be changed within few months. And I do believe we won't regret the passed one. Thank You Mike, ocne agian, for all your precious effort.
Mike always the best ... you are so helpful to so many of us ... thank you for your great content and easy to understand videos ... as ALWAYS ... "Top Shelf"!!
Hi, Mike. I really appreciate you! Thanks.
Thanks mate. We need your Mikish vids. The vehicle for a message is always personality. Perfection is a faulty concept.
Thanks, Mike! I thoroughly enjoy your work and look forward to each new video. And I enjoy the Facebook page as well you're helpful and I hope you're well!
Hi Mike. I really enjoy your philosophy. Keep it up. I am not good enough, and I will never be good enough... to play basketball in the NBA. This doesn't bother me even slightly. It frees me up to pursue other things. I feel the same way about my singing and my piano playing skills. I can improve them slightly, and I probably will do so, but there are so many people better than I am, that I feel free to enjoy whatever music that I can produce.
Years ago I figured out that I needed to embrace me. Recognize what I have - expand my strengths and work on my weaknesses and do the best "me" I can. After years and years of playing in cover bands trying to sound like other people - I actually take pride in not sounding like anyone other than me. My music is never good enough when sitting next to a "real artist" - just sorta almost kidding. Thanks and miss seeing you "Live" Mike
Thank you for all of the little bits of knowledge nuggets you've dropped into my brain over the years. Oh, and your voice is just fine. Keep rockin'!
Thanks, Mike. You always give us something worth thinking about.
Beautifully and wonderfully said Mike! 🥲
Thanks Mike I needed that today.
Awesome :) Thanks for watching Willis.
Talking about anologue mixers. I have a 12 channel, 4 sub mixer.
Using the busses (SUB), I can port the sound signal directly to an outboard interface via the connections on the board. 4 chanels of input
Using the 2 aux sends in post fader mode, I can send 2 more channels to an outboard interface.
Using the channel strip master section, I can send a left and right, 2 more channels to an outboard interface.
The manufacturer won't help and nobody ever seems to answer.
I'm not sure what the question is.
HAy Mike! Your one of the few Shows I enjoy. Much Respect.
Well said in the middle of all compressions and such. Thank you. I think I take my sax to the countryside after all, to practice finally some more :)
Mike, you are an amazing human being, and I needed to hear this!
Amazing video! I think many people, including me, need to hear this. Thanks, Mike.
Mike you are brilliant and a fantastic mentor and you’re not full of bull unlike a lot of creators.
Heck yeah, Mike. Thanks
Keep up the good work Mike !
Hi Mike, brilliant video. You are the most influential music RUclipsr to me. I have been knocking about doing music for years but you are never too old to learn something new. Love your videos and I have learned so much from you more than any other RUclipsr particularly about mixing and mastering in cakewalk. Thanks mate keep it going and keep being your authentic self!
important topic. thanks for addressing on your platform
Your teaching has saved me hours and hours of time. Your style is perfect. You have a gift and you share it with others. This message is spot on, just go listen to Brushy one string "chicken in the corn" and look at the views. Who can define music? Thank you for all your videos.
I certainly did need to hear this today
It's funny hoow we have almost opposite messages about the same topic. I'm too much of a downer. Seriously though, this video in itself is a meta about how you are correct in that we all have different perspectives and ways to hopefully make the world a slightly better place. Thanks man.
Awesome point of view....we are all her to help one another, believe it or not !)
I love your videos. You are my mainstay and first port of call when I want to learn about Cakewalk. Thanks
Very good video Mike. I have always gone to your videos when I want to understand a particular program or sound production. They've always delivered
