I think this video is cooking for you! I started watching it you had 100 subs. It autoplayed into another video of yours and you had 102. Went to look at your profile and you're at 103. Keep cooking!
@wallflwr_ I'm working on getting into it, actually I'm having a producing session with some friends today, but i always try to do everything from scratch which slows down the work immensly and productions just die off cause of lack of willpower to finish them. This video really shows that you just have to work on yourself over and over again to get a masterpiece.
Sounds like fun! Definitely helps if you have people around you to get the motivation, but there really is no secret to getting stuff done besides just putting it iut there whether it's ready or not. You'll always wish you had done more, but getting stuff out there helps you practice dealing with that feeling and just working on new stuff. We have a discord with producers and people who'd love to make some stuff with you and you're mates, you should join!
When I was in 3rd grade, I wrote and performed a song at a pep rally at school. It was absolute shit looking bad but it was fun asf. 7 years later, I’ve been trying to come up with new stuff, through random lines, voice memos, etc and I’m in the process of convincing my dad to let me get guitar lessons to add another instrument to my skill set. W video, your covers were also pretty fire.
Excelent advice! I understand why you see understanding theory as nothing more than a barrier to entry but I swear understanding what makes music tick makes it so much easier to come up with good chord progressions and melodies. PD - The remix is fire, very well done
Also it helps you make concious stylistic decisions that provoke a specific emotive feel, instead of just "feeling it out" which can often lead to samey choices across several different songs.
Oh no i definitely agree, I would recommend for everyone to learn about music theory if they can. It's just never the first thing I would suggest somebody do if they wanted to get into making music. I think consciously listening to music and searching for chords/melodies that are interesting to you, rather than what's easier to make or the default can avoid that samey problem. Personally, exploring music is part of the joy of making it, and so if you focus on loving music in that way rather than the love of having a finished product, you'll end up with something interesting. I think that's why broadly speaking in my videos we make a range of music ( it also definitely helps to have ariels taste influence the music when he's mixing and Mastering as well though)
Thankyou for your thoughts though, it's probably definitely helpful for people who would like to approach it in a more structured way, which is awesome too. Anything to get people started
Hi, thanks for this video it was kinda needed ! I'm afraid of making music (blocking and loss of confidence in what i thought was good just 5 minutes before ^^') so I struggle to produce any damn thing on that cracked fl studio even though I write and "rap" (sort of) since almost 8 years. I want to finally start even if it's trash and just for fun and I found your video very honest, raw and appeasing compared to many others. Just a passionate approach of music creation without any unnecessary pressure ! And the remake you made is really great, congrats for pushing it to a whole new level :) Also thanks for reading me until here !
Thankyou for sharing! I've heard from a lot of people in situations similar to yours, so trust me you're not alone. Everyone hates their beats and music the day after, I guarantee it. I call it "post beat clarity". Don't focus on the future, remove external pressures, just capture yourself and the moment in your music. This isn't advice for how to be successful because God knows I know nothing about that. This is about loving what you're doing in the moment, expressing yourself, and if you get good enough to capture how you feel in a moment, it's a beautiful thing to listen back on. I love creating as a hobby because I can go back to something like our twenty//20 album and recognise all the feelings and situations I went through were real, but also how far I've grown from them. Maybe it's not about making something other people think is good or you think is good, maybe it's just about making something. Food for thought
great video! ive been struggling to make any music because i compare myself to literally everyone else except myself and i can't grow because of it. its often so toxic that i can't even begin to make anything
Comparison is the thief of joy. If you're having troubles comparing yourself to others and not liking that you're not at that level, telling you to stop that probably wouldn't be helpful. What I do is take that energy to learn, grow, be inspired. Instead of "why isn't my music as good as theirs" (*ahem* brakence), it's realising that I love these artists and their music because it's true to them. I wouldn't love other artists like verzache and novo amor if they all sounded like brakence. And from that point, I don't compare, I steal the parts I like, I steal what I'm capable of until I'm a collage of all these other peoples techniques and my own experiences and voice. You eventually become so different, you'll realise that you can't compare yourself to them in the same way you wouldn't compare an apple to flex tape. If you liked the music in this video and our spotify, that's all it is. Hope this helps.
Oh gosh... 0:42..., I am no stranger to intrusive sus- BUT--.. my volume was up and people heard and eyebrowed me 🤣💀😭 ON A REAL 'Note': Nice video man! Keep the good work,
I like this editing! Your video is much better produced than your channel size would imply. I hope this video ends up inspiring people to make some music (although it is not the best starting point to learn how to make music)
Agree its not the best place to start music, that would be the plethora of incredible tutorials on UA-cam. I think what's missing here is the sort of mindset to get into it, and I suck at production so this is the only way I could help other people get into something I love so much
Oh you will do it wrong, and youll feel that way until you realise theres no way to do it wrong, because it should only sound good to you. Correct me if im wrong, but im only a perfectionist when it comes to things other people might see or interact with. Im terrible with selfcare, i cook food that tastes bad, terribly schedule things so it feels like i have no time when i do. I just do it anyways. It's no different with music. Make it badly, and make it for yourself
Wonderful music, and your music process is also awesome! Love the passion the share in the video, keep your creative drive, and hope more people find this video! As someone who has really enjoyed music recently but has been a little intimidated to do it, thank you for making this! :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed, it really is a whole new level of appreciation once you start making it and can appreciate how every single wavelength for every single second of a song is intentional. It's a beautiful thing I recommend everyone try
I’m so glad I got this video recommended to me! my debut album literally releases next week which im so excited about! 2024 is the year I first started releasing my own music but previously I’ve been doing song covers since 2021! if anyone is reading this and you are wondering if you should release your music, DO IT! you can always just start like me by just posting covers to get yourself out there ❤️
i spent 4 years watching many guides and videos about music programs, was trying to figure out something by myself just clicking everywhere in these programs, but i just couldn't learn even the most basic things after all this time, how i'm supposed to make music if i'm unable to do it? i may want to do it, but i just can't intellectually also my brain is completely empty and i can't generate any ideas and have zero creativity and imagination (i have aphantasia as well), so even if i somehow managed to acquire some skills to make music - i wouldn't be able to apply these skills anyhow, same happened with me in art already, i managed to acquire the skills i never could dream of, but in the end i just were unable to generate anything and come up with anything, i can function only as AI (i need input from outside, like, for example i need the other person to tell me to draw something, basically all the creativity and imagination should be on someone else shoulders, not mine)
First of all, thankyou for sharing that. I think I can relate in some ways and others may relate too. If you think about it, making music is taking the entire spectrum of frequencies people can hear, and individually affecting every single one to arrange something that would somehow meet some standard we could call music (which is different to everyone btw). The task of starting is gargantuan when you put it like that, but I don't believe it to be an inherent trait of anybody to "want to make music but being intellectually incapable". Its hard, it's confusing, and it's so much at once. I understand your frustration. There's not much advise I can give you around that, but I'm working on a tutorial for people in your similar situation because I've given people the mindset and drive to make music with this video, but I've kinda sent them off a cliff without wings.
Secondly, you cannot create in a vacuum. Creating something is inherently an expression of yourself, and by extension based on things you've heard and seen or been prompted with. There is absolutely no shame in gathering inspiration from outside sources, I literally say to steal in the video. I am shameless because I know other artists are shameless too. You steal enough from the things only you could have lived through, a combination of things only you could enjoy, then how could somebody say that the things you create aren't yours?
I really like to sing, rap and write! But i absolutely DESPISE mixing and mastering, i can never make my voice sound nice with the instrumental even if i try for hours, and that fucks my flow up everytime...
i made music and released an album in 2019. was preparing for it for like 5 years prior, learning daw, composing mixing and mastering. recieved a bit of support but man i burnt the fuck out from making and releasing this shit. was broke af too. so i went into sound design and for the past two years, a gamedev sound design. and heavy weed addiction. and now i feel like going back to music. lets rock
I relate heavy. Our first ep, we were so done with it we skimped on mixing by the time it released. The brain is like a muscle, and the heavier the expectations you hold for your music the more tiring it will be for your mind, until you burnout. It sounds rough but im glad you got into something music adjacent, game sound design sounds like a dream to me tbh. Hopefully when you pick up music again it isn't a weight, but rather a 300cc cocktail of steroids and preworkout injected directly into your bloodstream that you love doing. No expectations though
“well vocals, i dont really know how to talk
about it-“ *AND I FREAKING ASCENDED*
I'm glad it made you feel that way since I didn't know how to talk about it
those vocals are fire dude that's what I'm tryna sound like
ask ariel he mixed the shit out of them
this actually helped me a lot
and this video is criminally low on views
cheers and a big fat thank you from brazil
I'm glad to hear it! We've got a discord in the description if you ever need any more help with stuff
I think this video is cooking for you! I started watching it you had 100 subs. It autoplayed into another video of yours and you had 102. Went to look at your profile and you're at 103. Keep cooking!
Will do my best, seems like a good strategy is to just put love out there to to get it back
Thx for this, that remix was straight fire
Thanks for sharing that, I thought it turned out pretty good too. Had a lot of fun making it, you should try making one yourself!

Awesome to hear about your journey, thanks for sharing. Hopefully there's more to hear soon
wow genuine good content
Appreciate it boss, put a lot of love into it
this video was genuinely so fun to watch
Hey if you don't make any music, at least you got something out of it

Bro. thank you for making this vid and you are really good
3 seconds of the song in the intro and i knew you were a brakence fan
I don't trust the tastes of people who aren't
@@wallflwr_ preach twin
Love this man! Keep it up!!
i already make music but this video is so well made!!! everything you said was absolutely true
Now we gotta get these other needs to start too
sooo good.... just the inspiration/direction I needed right now....
I'm glad to hear that, thanks for watching
Great funny video with a good message. Big respect.
Appreciate that boss, thankyou
good video bro, cool style
Thanks bro, w comment
You know that I actually have a project of making japanese cover on a new channel? xD
I need to watch this video through!!!
Sounds awesome! Would love to see it once you're done, we've got a discord link if you ever wanna chat about it
@@wallflwr_ Alright!!! :D x)
I hope you blow up this is so good 😭🙏
Loved your video, you are so underrated
Thanks for that boss, I reckon I'm appropriately rated I just managed to find something I care about to talk about
@@wallflwr_ it's good to know that you are doing what you love, keep on the good work mate, you just earned a new subscriber

ON A REAL 'Note': Nice video man! Keep the good work,
I apologise for the effect it may have had on you but I will never apologise for sharing music that genuinely moves me and touches my soul
This showed up just when I needed it. Thanks for making cool shit man.
Thanks for joining the discord, we'll make some cool shit together
I like this editing! Your video is much better produced than your channel size would imply. I hope this video ends up inspiring people to make some music (although it is not the best starting point to learn how to make music)
yeah thankyou for that, I took some time pouring hella love into it and I'm glad it showed

Quality video🔥
Epico comment
True asf
I hope this means you're out there somewhere making cool shit
@ thank you, i hope it will be
@@wallflwr_your cover at the end felt rlly good to listen to with headphones, i need this as an 8D audio
Full things on soundscloud if you're interested, definitely one of my favs
Do be loving music frfr
those vocals are insane??
Thankyou! It's the trauma
The remix at the end reminds me of Powfu
There's another artist on Spotify called wallflwr. I think the guy in this video kinda sounds like them
Is the piano plugin LABS soft piano or a different labs instrument?
It's LABS, because LABS is the goat
the old one kinda go hard too tho
Yeah but we don't talk about it anymore since the new version came out
haha i love that 6 year old remix
Thankyou, it had definitely expired before I remixed it
Ig u into brakence too ha?
Was I that obvious? I thought I hid it so well...
@@wallflwr_ studied brakence sm can recognise it from anywhere 🤣😋anyways bro sick song if u open for collab or something it will be even sicker haha
Always down to make stuff, jump in the discord and we'll see if we can work something out
