Hi! My name is TAETRO. thanks for reading to the bottom of this page. i love making music, being creative and also helping other people make music and be creative. you can consider me your electronic music mentor. if you want to support this channel, many of the above links are affiliate links which means you can purchase gear or software at no additional cost and i will get a commission :) even just liking the video and subscribing to the channel helps a ton. thanks for watching the video!
My advice has always been and will always be: Make music for yourself, and enjoy the process. Allow yourself to be shit at it.
Needed that advice thank you 🙏
Yep. Spot on. Learn from your mistakes and get better that way. Just keep producing and move on. Great painters weren't great initally, they painted a lot of shit until they got great. Same applies to music or anything else. Just enjoy the journey.
SO TRUE Eric. This is the way
@@jeandepaname8251 This is the way
Allow yourself to get better at it!
I draw and animate. Recently I started exploring the musical world and I'm finding that the learning process feels very similar to drawing and animation.
You fail a lot, you hit walls, you have to do a lot of research and it can become frustrating, but in the end the passion you have for it will always keep you coming back.
I have a tendency to skip basics and dive head straight into the complex shit, so I often have to remind myself to take a few steps back.
I tend to do the same and often have had to come back the long way via the basics to solve a problem. Foundations are important even when you are impatient to move on quickly.
I used to animate in Pivot and Flash alot as a kid and now I've found sort of a passion for music lmao. It's cool to know I'm not the only one
So true! I was a professional gallery artist for 17 years. Self taught painting etc.
:0 same!
Great advice! When I started learning to code the lead engineer used to delay answering my questions, I was so frustrated because I have now to spend countless hours reading about the technology details and trying to understand what’s going on. After a year I realized that the process of answering your question is where the knowledge at and not the answer itself, I feel that also apply to other things you learn including music.
I second this! Google is your friend!
This comment is so depressing because I hate reading due to my brain thinking about tits and not what I’m reading
Was he doing it with that purpose?
@@sr60030 I think the dude was just busy lmao
As a fellow dev, I totally get this. They want to see your problem solving and critical thinking skills. Which can be applied to literally everything
My only gripe about being a new producer is that the more inlearn the more i regret that i didn't persue it earlier in life. I absolutely adore the learning process. Just today I was playing with bass arps and did some joyful pearl clutching over the results 🤣 It's just so much fun, even the mistakes. I am naturally self motivated and love to seek out information so i appreciate what you are saying friend!
@Agente 07 I started last year at 41. I think it would have been great to have pursued this path 20 years earlier,but visual art was my pursuit up until my late 30s.
How long have you been producing music ? 😊
@@plutooliver686 10 minute video to say GOOGLE IT
fxxx this guy
This wasnt't just great advice for new music producers. It's great advice for life in the 21st century.
I hope everyine is having a great weekend! ☮💜
✌🏻 ❤️
It’s the answer no one, including myself likes to hear. But this is truly the most practical and honest advice. Producing is a lot of work and extremely frustrating. Especially, for those that are first starting. It’s best to be independent and put the work in to learn.
Indeed, for beginners there's no clear and straight answers. As a beginner in beatmaking myself I've been on sponge mode for the last month (and managed to publish a few beats) mostly by finding hidden nuggets of know-how within long form uncut tutorials rather than topic-specific videos/tutorials.
Which was why I'm esp thankful for your 3-part uncut beatmaking process series 👍 That helped me complete and publish my first beat!
Glad that series was helpful!
this is the formula for life... you just start, run into problems, and then solve them. problems bring growth so just know every time you run into a wall its an opportunity to get a little bit better.
You put in a ton of time to make amazing, thorough, comprehensive and accessible videos. It bothers me to no end that people won't do the work and just ask you the easy questions that you've already taken the time to answer.
I hope it doesn't discourage you from doing what you do - because there are tons of us that are following with great interest and learning a TON from you.
thanks Joe
This is not just the advice for being a producer. It's an advice for any skills that you want to learn.
this is such a good take. being resourceful is a personality trait not a lot of people have. and I believe part of the "question" is moreso them wanting to be seen and not as much them needing the question answered, maybe 50/50. great video man!
Great video. There are two reasons I have got into music production. 1) I love listening to my music genre 2) i love learning. So being able to produce music I like is key. People want to know “the answer” whereas the answer is really a string of questions that lead you to your knowledge. Also newbies; try not to buy too many things like presets… much better to learn through yt how to create your own presets as then they are free AND you learned some sound design knowledge! Free gets you more!
It's funny how having tools to learn more and satisfy our curiosity or doubts, we simply continue asking as if the answer was not just a click away. It is entirely due to the fact that we believe in the immediacy that social networks give us, for example, without the need for much effort.
I concur, a combination of what you’ve said plus that ‘ol “learned helplessness” insidiously continuing to weave its way into society.
My man this advice is good for beginners at literally every single skill in the history of forever and the future
yo this was incredibly well put! The articulation is exactly how people need to approach this stuff! Don't ever feel entitled to information! You gotta be humble and go looking!
HAHAHA, you are so right on with your analogies and suggestions. This is how I discovered you, your music and your channel. I Goggle a lot, I always have ( I'm a self sufficient, mostly independent, self starter kind of guy) I even access Reddit to get answers. Another funny thing here is you mentioned how one should watch a video, pause and look up something they see / don't understand then continue on with the video. I'm following your Music Theory series, your Ableton Live for Beginner series and your Melodic Beatmaker Bootcamp series. It's literally taken me about an hour to go through each of your videos because I'm constantly looking up stuff you mentioned or I've seen in your video and want more info. I find this all a bit funny because I figured everyone was doing this already. I had no idea people were bombarding content creators with specific questions all the time. I'm learning lots from you. Keep it coming!!! Cheers!
You inspired me to upload my first (lofi) beat to my channel! And you helped me with all the tips! :D
Definitely great advice! When I started learning to record music, I was using a tascam and an Alesis drum machine, my first hardware ever, along with a guitar and bass. It was about 1995, and the internet was fairly new to most people. We definitely didn’t have the resources then that we have today. I had to buy books and magazines, read manuals, lol. And lots of trial and error. Today there’s such a wealth of information at our fingertips, its actually baffling that you even needed to make a video to talk about it. I would think everyone would just know that Google and RUclips are our friends, lol. But I guess people take that sort of thing for granted. It’s amazing how easy it is to learn, and how much more affordable it is to have a small studio, and how much higher quality the home recordings are today than they were when I was getting started in my 20s. I took several years away from music, and now that I’ve come back the past couple of years, I’ve learned so much new stuff! Like how to dial in a sound from scratch on a synth, for instance. I never really understood how they worked until I got back into it and devoured every RUclips video I could find. Now if I want to make a bass patch or a pad or something, I can make it happen. And I’ve learned a ton of stuff from this channel about recording techniques, so I thank you for all the effort you put into this!
I stopped doing music for a while and picked it up recently again and experimenting with different styles. One thing I've learned is research and documentation reading is super important. I'm a web dev and it has helped a ton with my productions.
What I wish is more plugin makers create online documentation.
This is probably the best advice on making progress as beginning music producer.
So this is great advice in life in general. There are times when I come across a question on post in Facebook and the answer is there is Google. There are times where I copy their question and paste the results. Then I tell them that they can do the same thing i did.
I agree with this 100%, answers are literally a few clicks and types away, everything is accessible now. Whoever you are keep going!!!
6:00 thank you for that, it really changes my perspective
I’m still in highschool so I got so much free time I might as well invest my time into something I love. Boutta start my journey
Love this! Asking a creator
questions isn’t a problem but doing so without conducting thorough research prior to creates a bad counter productive habit. Imagine what else can be learned along the way!
Great piece of advice, absorbing info is the key, even if you didn’t have the question related to a video, article, podcast etc. Every one shouldn’t rely on content creators and other more “educated” people to ask a question that probably was answered. Internet is a place that has the answer for every question, but you have to look for it! Amazing video, as always. Thank you for what you do @TAETRO!
🖤🖤🖤
Such an important video. Best advice. Thank you for recognizing a need and simply answering it as clearly and relatable as always.
Two months back I didn't even know what a DAW was 😂 Last week I just made my first track (Almost one 😂) on Abelton using my komplete kontrol m32, inspired and learning from guys like you. Thank you. Still a looot to learn, but with all these free information available online I guess there's nothing to worry.
Such good advice and points! I get the same type of basic questions on my channel. I’m from the generation of having to do research on my own…in books!!😆 to my fellow humans…take pride in researching and problem solving on your own. 😎👍🏼
Good advice Taetro, I work on a beat one day then stop for a few days.. still trying to find the consistency to work everyday before n after work 👍🏽 good stuff man
Great advice man. Super helpful info for beginners of any kind
Taetro, you nailed it!!! This is exactly what I do when I'm stuck and have a questions. Google is my friend and now Chatgpt is also my friend. I enjoyed your most recent video where you asked chatgpt to create the bladerunner type sound and the kalimba dreamy sound. I had a chuckle when watching the video as I did this as well out of curiosity but don't have enough knowledge yet to be able to constuct a song. I'm still in the " loop " phase😂
This is the BEST advice for ANY career. As an employer, I always ask people I interview - “if you are asked a question by a customer and don’t know the answer, name 3 different ways to find the answer”. All I am listening for is “I google it”. There are so many people that say I ask someone else. The internet has been around long enough that EVERY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED MULTIPLE TIMES. All you have to do is take the initiative to do your own research. Great video. Great advice.
Thanks Taetro! Really appreciate the sharing of knowledge & experience, Much respect for the perspective your teaching from!
i love your channel man, genuinely you give great advice and insight
Thank you Nico
'Word... perfect answer Taetro- that IS the process of learning.... (not crying help me/ give me the answers) learn to "Search" for answers, then go as far as you can until stuck after several / many attempts.... THEN ask a specific question in the context from your path to getting really 'Stuck' somewhere in the ~middle, or towards the end ( Not at the Very beginning).
Great video! It's important to realize the age of information we live in today. Oftentimes, I have expected there to be a laid out process about how to learn things, and sometimes there are, but I still need to be proactive in finding those sources and independently branching out to other sources of information that help me learn what I need to solve my problems. Thanks TAETRO!
Great advice for social media in general. So much you can quickly check you self. You tube is amazing for learning, do your own research and it is faster. Good work dude.
Thank you so much man, I’m actively looking to try and make some music so I’m just wandering through RUclips watching videos and I really appreciate your advice. I really hope that all of your music you produce goes well
Literally learning aspects of producing as you upload this. Perfect timing and makes me feel like on the right path. I appreciate your advice
This is high IQ game. This gonna go over 95% of people’s heads. Appreciate it bro 💯💪🏾
Masterclass was always super obvious to me but i gained some really cool insights for music production learning so thank you
You are right.
There are so many skills out there in the internet and they are waiting for to be used.
Good advice applicable to any skill you want to learn :)
This is great advice. I started learning how to play bass not too long ago. I wanted to get more into the composing and producing part of music. I'm always googling stuff and watching videos and then I hit a wall. I would say the music terminology/equipment and basic music theory are 2 things that will help a lot. My lightbulb moment was digitally recreating my favorite songs on a DAW. I feel like I learned more about music in the first week of using Cakewalk than I did the whole year prior.
I'm a Reaper User, now we all know how reaper doesn't really have that much tutorials compared to other days, people end up complaining that Reaper doesn't have resources and it's hard but for me it's been a walk in a park because of exactly what you just said for the technical aspect there is almost always an answer out there dedicated to Reaper but for the creative aspect I get it literally every where else
My man made a 10 min video telling people to google. King of finesse
Trust me…wish I didn’t have to
Thank you Taetro 🙏💛 🌱
I got a question for anyone that is wiling to answer. So I've had this midi controller for almost a week now. I am not gonna get too specific, but beforehand, and even afterwards, I searched the internet for any tutorials and any videos that would help me start making music with it as fast as possible. But unfortunately, there is one problem with my midi that seems to have no solid answer too. Occasionally a key or multiple keys on the piano bed plays at an extremely low velocity. As far as I know, they still work. It's just that, other keys around it will make a sound, but that one or group of keys will play at the lowest velocity possible. To be a little bit more specific, eventually if I press on it again, the key will make a sound . I have searched and searched all over and have not found a single solution. I have a MPK mini Mk3, and I have already tried the hold on Full Level button trick. As far as I know its not a latency problem, so I don't know what it is.
Definitely taking in the information! I’m enjoying the melodies I can now create with learning the keys. Thank you
Thank you Taetro! I just bought a mpk mini last week and all of these videos have helped a bunch!
"If you are not super lucky, you will not have a lot of luck." Taetro taught me this :)
😂😂😂
This video is essential for, I think not for only music production but also any creatives or anybody wanna learn anything these days!!!
In not having a physical person to call a music mentor on certain things, I've been googling & tubing non-stop the last 2 months. I'm definitely going to be googling what certain plugins do. i never even thought to, with the weight of all the other searching im doing at any given time lol
I like that advice.
I remember an old teacher of mine. Back in the 80s..
Quote: " 'I didn't know that' doesn't count anymore. The information is there. It's your task to look for it."
4:22 “if you’re not super lucky, you won’t have a lot of luck.” So real
Of course, it makes sense. seems a smidge obvious, beings underneath videos is the place for information / products there in, and comment section is for just that to leave a comment. A smidge crazy in this age of Bing, google etc... Sponge is again a bit obvious, but solid advice for anything one is learning absorb all information filtering accordingly. Your videos are extremely mild mannered and paced and presented well for learning hard to believe any gripes or lack of responses to the obvious exist at all.
This is by far the best answer I've heard. Thax bro. You have just moved me foward.
Glad I could help
Thank you for putting this wisdom into words. Such amazing advice!
There is a similar question that comes up in art: "what brush is that?" Or "what pen/pencil do they use?" "What brand of paint is that?"
I think it's the anxiety of feeling like you are needlessly wasting time. Like if you were using the perfect equipment or settings, your work would skyrocket. At least, it would seemingly be better than whatever dreadful little thing you were doing right now.
It would probably help a lot of budding visual artists if a giant hand came out of their screen and grabbed their shitty BIC pen and sketched some kickass portrait, or pose, or scene or character or whatever on generic STAPLES printer paper. It really helps knowing that beautiful work can be created with the things you already have. Like it just erases that doubt from your mind and lets you more fully concentrate on doing the work itself, and not on whether you're even equipped to do it.
I think companies implicitly realize this. That's why Procreate comes with sample artwork all done using the standard brushes that come with the app. Or why Blender releases long animations 100% done natively with the program. I also think that's why people appreciate it when someone with their similar life story "makes it." It sets a concrete example that it can be done. Like yeah, you know abstractly that anyone with motivation and perseverance can do it, blah, blah. But when someone really similar to you does it, it's like you actually understand you can do it too.
Even in video games, it's really popular to watch gamers beat hard games like Dark Souls using sub-optimal stats and levels and equipment. Then you realize you don't need that specific sword or spell to beat the boss, you just need to get gud. lmao.
love this message on autonomy!💗
Thank you for all your advice.
This should be pinned at the top of every single music production Facebook group. Very well articulated T!
I've got so many ideas for tracks in my head, I've remixed 4 tracks, but I wana make my own, n remix it for different genres, from house, bounce, trance n hardcore versions
Time management is a good tool for doing this type of stuff on a professional level
This video solves a lot of questions. I couldn't say it better myself. BUT...yes, there's a big BUT. People think u, as a streamer or whatever, are the master and they want to know exactly how u do it bc they want that exact sound. Sometimes it's better to google it as u say, and to try and play on your own. That's often the better sullotion bc u still want to create music that's your own, you own kind of sound... Sometimes that's the best way to learn how to do it, by practicing, a lot. I can admit that I want to master all the things that I want to learn right away, I don't want to figure it out by myself, I don't want to try. But that's just fact. U need to practise to get better.
Research and development.... yep? 100 % ! Great advice. I'm not a producer per say, but I'm constantly trying to improve my guitar studio on a low budget. Using an interface outputted to a stereo receiver. Probably not the best set up , but over last 10 years, that's what I've used into a guitar software sim. I can get some decent sounds through my pioneer 160w speakers, however my next quest will be what kind of speakers to upgrade next; not sure if something like KRK's rockets would sound smaller?
The problem well defined is half solved. Google helps you define your problem. Awesome advice!
that snake earing goes hard
Great advice! 🔥
i learned this skill from working on my own cars LOL the feeling of finding that one 10 year old thread after hours of searching that has your solution or answer is always a rush
These things make us better learners!!
This is an amazing solutions and it is so important to be independent, but honestly this takes a lot of time to solve simple problems that easily can be solve by other experts. So I can add working with someone experience as an intern might be a better help for beginners. I am a classically trained musician and have started music production for about a year and I hope to find someone experienced or even a friend to work with. Let me know if there is anyone who is ready to work together. 😊
This was actually great and valuable advice and quite frankly, it should be applied to other aspects of life as well. In order to truly make progress, you have to be willing to put in individual work instead of waiting for others to guide you.
Agreed!
8:53 this is definitely gonna help me
A person will comment "can you please make a tutorial of XYZ sampler/synth" whereas there is a bunch of tutorials on that particular plugin already including a tutorial directly from that plugin's manufacturer.
really really really good advice!! thank you
Very well said! Thank you! Keep it up😬🙌🙌
thanks!!
The answer is: make music, Experiment, try stuff out with what you've got, get to know your gear and what is possible, evolve and learn, you will get better as you go and the more you do
Thank you very much for this video!!!!. Really useful
thank you brother this video hit the right note, i hit the technical wall, i will be more active in searching the doubt in google, take care
Thats why I study and learn how to use my plugins to get different sounds
excellent advice for life in general. figure that shit out , man
I guess the problem of every beginner is that they want to have some answers they can rely on. That’s why they are so specific. After having dealt with several things over the years you start seeing things more relaxed because things can be achieved with different methods and workarounds.
I think a beginner is the least qualified person to determine which advice is unreliable and it’s pretty clear after doing minor research which advice is implemented broadly.
Loved this video
Great advice, not just for music but for just about anything in life.
THANKS TAETROOOOOO-CHAN 🥺❤
That’s great advice I did that from the start how I learned most of my knowledge
This was very important.
Sadly he had to teach us how to Google, I feel you and I can see how ppl would go in the comments but I feel the comment section is mainly for other commentators so that we can help each other your not entitled to answer it hope this helps
I'm having such a problem making beats i'm happy with because of my workflow. I have templates but the getting it down step still takes too long.
Haha dude, you nailed it. I consumed ALL the production interviews of Finneas and other artists btw in the past 😂 And i haven't even really started yet
Invaluable to be able to hear from commercially successful producers.
This is great advice! I hoped onto a stream by Bound To Divide and he had an app at the top of his screen with all the metering tools visible and I thought what is that? Turns out he had it labeled because everyone asks that question and a google search later I've spent $10 and now I use Minimeters on every project because its constantly tells me info about my music!
Hahaha yes it must be common in the space to get the same questions over and over
Late comment but this is great advice and it applies for anything you learning
Came here to learn about more music production tips.
*Leaving life advice*
Thank you
a real talk which was much needed..haha
fantastic video - all the answers are out there !
really like the videos man thanks for all ur time !!!!
-new viewer
skin in the game!!
That’s not a music advice, that’s a straight up life advice !
