Man... the last 2-3 minutes blew my mind because it not only pertains to Music Production, but life as well.. It hit some notes to other problems in my life other than my mixes.. Thanks for that
+Mike Ez Yeah, this makes me think about a lot of subjects in my life
Mmm, cognitive dissonance.. 💭
this is such gold that it will probably be unseen by 99%of producers but godddammmn its on point! thank you so much!!!
I need to be around people like this guy
Most overlooked thing in music production, gotta take a step back and listen
This is a very important skill for first of all finding new things to fix in your music, but also for learning how not be a perfectionist when it comes to your music. I have finally after 7 years of making my own music started to learn how to listen to it objectively, as someone else's product, and it has been the most benefitting thing for my music ever.
I like this dude, he says very interesting and informative things. Nice!
This talk was excellent and just what I was looking for. Been through this struggle a lot.
As a writer the only way I could truly improve was to get into the minds of the people who would be reading and I couldn't agree with this man more. The transition from writing to music production may SEEM relatively smooth yet I lost the ability to understand the audience. I am grateful to find this video as it has reminded me of something which I lost in the depths of our own human psychology.
He's the man
Iv seen many videos and tutorials about music production, this is the most usefull and intresting of all
That's a great tip! I already noticed that when I listen to my production after some time away from it I detect details that bother me and that I didn't notice before.
But I wasn't making notes and that's really necessary. I also didn't figure out that taking a break from the song was a good strategy to listen to the details more effectively.
Amazing stuff !!!! Very valuable
Very thoughtful lessons from Prof Webber.
This was very helpful, thanks for sharing.
Free knowledge. Sure give it to me. Well said and yet so true. Adaption, sound waves make your ears and brain stay ringing. Keep it fresh....Noted ty
thank you very much for the INFO...
Excellent information superbly presented. Thank you!
That helped me a lot! Thx
wo0ow. always thought about that, never related it to human adaptability. good point.
Took me 12 years to hear my music objectively. Its such an odd thing and you can think your objective, even when your not.
Gems!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you
I have been enlightened... again :P
Great tips!
Good advice, and a reminder of the importance of collaboration as well. Bringing in outside sources with fresh ears can often illuminate things we completely overlook.
💯🎯💯
I was thinking this but it's amazing that it's true
great interview
Great advice! Graditude,
Awesome!!
jeez i dunno what it is but thank goodness for youtube because i already had to replay parts of this video like 20 times because i constantly get distracted, i think this is really important information at this moment for me as a producer/songwriter to grow next level..... i already noticed this stuff out of myself that when i hear something too many times, i loose the awesomeness of the sound for my own feeling.......... i was wondering if there are ways to speed up the process of refreshing your hearing perspective
great ... just great
Now I understand why do they keep airing the same songs in the radio over and over again, and why they become so popular.....
Yep... that's why labels pay so much to have them played. So they then gain traction on their own. I once read a book about a guy that was tortured so much that he began to actually look forward to it... definitely something to think about when considering certain musical careers.
Mr. Sforza,
If you remember more of that literature, I'd very much like for you to reach back to share the title and/or another lead.
exactly that is how they brainswash a lot of average listeners, generating millions in the music industry via radio
@@Roensmusic local or fm radio is no longer as big the internet radio in terms of more music genre to listen to. 😁

My coursera mentor. Love from Pakistan.
Amazing
Is there a limit to listening objectively? Are we too focus on objectively that it can turn into nit picking and have to fix it over and over? When are we going to be satisfy with our art after criticism objectively?
haha its funny to hear this btw... that adapting part... that is how i actually decided to just publish some old songs i did not really was satisfied over in the beginning, but after hearing it for years i started liking them how they are.... did i just fool myself here lmao xD
i actually think it also was the other way around, i liked it in the very first place when i was writing the notes and playing on the bass guitar i really was into the vibe........... then after hearing it 100 times i lost it and did not like it, left it aside as a song on my mp3 player etc.. and then after a while i did not hear it for a few months, then it suddenly played and i really was surprised how good it actually sounded
I think more thing he for got to mention is playing or remix your own song in a different way. It helps keep things fresh especially when it comes to music that you played many times over including live performances. Creativity helps keep boredom at bay. 😊
I thought the title of the vid seemed pretentious, but this was a very good watch.
What you say sounds like,when writing a song

Ok. Nice tips. yet it mostly applies to fast pop music - which is industrial in process and pretty much anyone with practice and technology can & does better. there are many other kinds of music, sound and forms which are outside these standard practices. Example - Alva Noto Ruichi Sakamoto :
