    Edit: thank you all so much for the incredible outpouring of support and for the support on the new album! I'm glad this video has stirred up so much good and discussion, and this is exactly why this community is awesome.

      Im less than a minute ten seconds in - and I have to pause and say BRAVO! FUCKING A! Much respect for the candor - for being bravely vulnerable. We need more dudes being honest about their feelings and owneing it. Its the only way - through this dark time we are in globally - I know that sounds hyperbolic - and I am not one to make bold proclamations about how people "should be" - but the more cats who are willing to open up - and move through their pain - the better the world gets. Not kidding. So thank you for doing this... now back to the show....
      (BTW - I had my first panic attack in my early 40s - I ended up in the ER - as I thought I was having a heart attack . The struggle is real! Much love and respect)

      I'm 57 this year, and have wanted to create electronic music since the 1980's when I had access to a Korg M1 for about 4 months. I finally made the time in my life to pursue this passion, and you have summed up my feelings perfectly in my learning journey. I did manage to eek out some income as a drummer for about 25 years in bar/blues bands, but that was just to keep my music itch scratched. Now with some time on my hands and the incredible array of technologies available to create music, I'm starting to pursue this passion again.
      Cameron's videos have been a key part of this, and I thank you (Cameron) for this opportunity to follow your journey as it enriches mine. I hope that I can recall all the music theory I learned in the 70's when I was taking accordion lessons, and wrangle that in to songs that are finally ready to come out.
      I appreciate you, Cameron, and your vulnerability. Ignore the haters. Be you.

    It makes absolutely no sense why something you create for yourself would even be enough to make someone mad, let alone make them take the time to transmit that negativity to you. They could just click off the video. Your content is great and there's enough of us that appreciate it. Please, don't get discouraged by the few unhappy souls who need to spread their toxicity.

    I don’t write UA-cam comments. Maybe two or three a year. But I found your channel about 6 months ago and it’s been a very surreal experience for me, because almost every single video you put out has something in it that I needed at that point in time. Whether it was career advice, inspiration, or information I was looking for, you were just there. And even this video hits at me at an interesting point in my life and career. I find comfort in knowing that I’m not alone here, and that what I’m doing means something. Your videos never cease to ease my own struggles, if only for a short time, and give me the motivation to keep creating. Thank you, Cameron. I know very well about how this one positive comment can’t squelch the countless others, but just know that you motivated me to write it in the first place when I would have moved on, like I usually do on this site.

    Cameron: I haven't watched yet, but I wanted to say something. Tonight, after I get off work and almost two years after I got my MIDI keyboard a DAW, I am finally going to publish my first real track on yt. It probably sucks big time, but I love it and I don't care. In the last 18 months or so I've been watching your videos here and almost all that I know about making sound happen and making stuff play they way I want, I know from you. You taught me sound design, you taught me to use a variety of instruments, you taught me to experiment with crazy sh*t, and you convinced me that I will be much happier with Bitwig than with other DAWs I tried (I am). At first I doubted that someone with that kind of voice and presence and general grip on things could ALSO be a wise and entertaining teacher, but there you are. Thank you, man.
    (And I have words for the people who post the things in your thumbnail, but it would not be... courteous of me to say those words.)

    I'm a recent subscriber to your channel, and I'm also a nurse who's struggled with major depression and anxiety since going from being a pediatric nurse to a COVID nurse. I've been a musician since I was 9 years old and started playing the drums (and still do), so music has always been a huge part of my life.
    Long story short, after a long period of suffering through 2020, I finally sought help - It's still a work in progress, but life is unquestionably better. However, part of finally examining my 30-year-long depressive tendencies has been the loss of musical inspiration. I'd not played, let alone written anything for months.
    Until I watched your video on Mixolydian flat 6. In the days since, I've felt a spark of creativity - I'm sitting at the keyboard/drums every day, even if for only a few minutes, and it's slowly becoming more and more inspiring.
    So keep doing what makes you happy, there are always people who will hate what you do (nurses included). DM me or something, I'd be happy to talk about my treatment and recovery. And music, of course.
    Best wishes!

    I am going through a divorce right now and am adapting to living by myself, only seeing my kids occasionally, and all that stuff. Ten years ago I was a local musician playing bass in marginal bands.
    With the sudden glut of free time and grappling with all the complex feelings that go with my situation, I bought a MIDI controller and decided I was going to learn electronic music, sound design, and production.
    Your channel has been an immense help to me over the past few months and I’ve binged a ton of your videos and have written and recorded a bunch of stuff that I just needed to get out of me but never had a vehicle for.
    Yeah, the internet sucks and lots of crabs will want to drag you back into the bucket, but I have to say I know I’m not alone in how much your channel has helped me deal with my own shit. So cheers to you, and I look forward to a lot more content.

      I know I'm five months late reading this comment, but i hope you are doing absolutely FANTASTIC now!!!
      I went through a nasty turbulent divorce also and i quit drinking during it. Almost ten years now. . It took everything from me. Mentally, physically, emotionally, and my kids. But now, I'm a thousand times better person, and my former wife is literally my best friend. I get my kids pretty much anytime they're not busy with mom.
      What I'm getting at is that it is definitely possible to have that life again with your former wife and kids no matter how hard the divorce was. It might take a few years, and a lot of changes within yourself, but there's one word that makes everything worth it . FAMILY.
      You got this!! 😁

    First of all, I just want to say how much you and your channel have inspired me on my musical journey. Your teaching and creativity have always been a spark that keeps my going. That said. I totally understand everything you said about the pressure and colossal workload - all I can say to that is that you need to take care of YOU, and those closest to you, first and foremost.
    Regarding panic attacks, I know exactly what you've been going through.
    In the spring of 1994, there was a single moment that split my life into "before panic" and "after panic" when I started to have unbelievably frightening panic attacks as a result of trying to cope with the stresses of being a software developer and commuting 200+ miles per day to and from London (UK) by car or train. The heart palpitations, feelings of suffocation, intense vertigo, unexplained tingling and numbness, sheer terror, and an inability to tolerate crowded spaces were as unexpected as they were terrifying, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Those violent panic attacks stole more than 10 years of my life despite being able to escape the rut to a new life overseas, but I eventually was able to get it mostly under control. I'm sure you have a great support system, but if you ever need a confidential ear from someone who's been through it, just reach out, and I'll be happy to talk with you.
    You bring so much value to the music industry with your knowledge, skills, and creativity, and I hope you're able to keep going and manage all the negative elements of it. If, like many other UA-camrs these days, you need to take a break for a while to regroup, that's fine, too. Your true fans will still be here waiting for you when you're ready to return.
    I'm looking forward to listening to your new album, and wish you all the very best from here in Memphis TN :-)

    If I wasn't able to exert all the shitty things I've felt throughout my life into music, I wouldn't be here. Being able to literally play out your emotions is such a tremendously positive thing for maintaining mental health. In many ways, putting your emotions into music transforms those thoughts from huge, abstract and scary concepts into something coherent and more easy to grasp. The thought becomes better articulated, less foreign and intimidating, and easier to overcome.

    • @anthonymetcalf660
      @anthonymetcalf660 2 роки тому +2

      People talk about putting emotions into music a lot, but the phrase "play out your emotions" is really helpful to me right now because of the double meaning. I think I was mixing it up with expressing beliefs about your emotions, but I should focus more on expressing the experience of those emotions and it will feel way less forced. As they say, "Show, don't tell".

You've already added so much value to my life in such a short time, even getting me back into producing after a very hard couple of years. So thank you for that, and stay strong, you're doing a hell of a bang up job already and I have no doubt you'll keep it up! Can't wait to see what else you'll have for us :) Cheers!

    It's really hard to know how to respond to such a personal message as this through the impersonal medium of a UA-cam comment. From my miniscule forays into social media, I have fortunately only (very) occasionally come across the sort of extreme and unwarranted negativity that you've shared with us today and I recall my pain and perplexity at trying to come to terms with only a fraction of what you must come across regularly. I don't know how to express my sympathy through a keyboard (well, a piano, maybe) but what helps me in such moments is the recollection that the hateful messages are all about the sender, not you at all, and you can be so thankful that you're you, not them.

Criticism is one thing and can be useful and healthy. Batshit crazy rants, abusive insults and threatening emails from the mentally challenged is another. Feel no compunction about removing those from your channel.

It sucks there are people out there that don't care if there actions hurt others. One thing I learned while battling cancer is that pain can overwhelm anyone regardless if you have a paper cut, broken leg or a broken past. Its sad to think a lot of people don't realize this, So I am glad to see that you didn't let those haters ruin your passion. You rock Bro !!!!!

    Thanks for being you! (Greetings from Finland)

    I'm glad you're here and will probably always be looking forward to the next one. I sort of watch this channel and a pile of others from a long distance I generally don't comment, but I feel this one and relate pretty hard. I'm not sure how it feels on your end but for me, I have to imagine it's pretty hard to start on a video like and then hard to avoid just venting for half an hour. This has been pretty encouraging for me and I hope you get the good thank you out of it. Gonna go make something for me now.

    You profoundly encouraged me. And inspired.

    Well, buddy, after watching and listening to this, you will forever be forgiven for starting your videos with 'howdy buckaroonies'!
    I hail from a family of third gen musicians and composers - that's me, my wife Pauly and our son, Paul. After some 5.5 decades in music, I was blessed enough to be asked to produce one of my favourite singer/songwriters entire album. We then married and finally, we bore a son and, together, we have amassed a combined 130 years of composition. This has been a mission! Not a hobby or a part-time venture - but head-first and both feet in and out on a limb. I am certain that I need not explain to you what this feels like because - here you are! Rather than go through a long drawn out thing, I will just end by saying - thank you for all of your hard work - ALL OF IT!
    Be well and stay safe and perhaps, who knows, we may even cross paths as we continue to move through similar circles.
    All the best, always,
    Joe Ortiz, Pauly-Ann Ortiz and Paul Antonio Ortiz

    I stumbled upon this channel wanting to learn more about music production, but I ended up with a lot more from you. Hearing your thoughts on the more personal matters of being an artist is something that i really like about your channel. I think it builds a deeper connection with your viewers and very few content creators actually focus on that nowadays. Thank you for putting your heart out there along with your knowledge, Cameron. Keep it up!
