I would love to see larger creators convincing beginners and generally untrained or just musically untalented people to simply get out and start doing that thing they love, despite their own personal shortcomings. Almost in my 40s and I'm just now getting into music (my last experience being recorder flutes in elementary school) and sucking at it. But I'm having a blast and really surprising myself with something really beautiful things every once in a while. I would love to see others just get a mic and that old guitar out of the attic or a cheap MAudio interface and a synth or just a USB keyboard and Garageband and start creating bad stuff and maybe you'll eventually start making good stuff!

Seriously
@@VenusTheory to you sir, the highest of fives 🫡
Hours of work for about a 30-second montage. That's dedication
You mention the value of time. One thing that became clear to me several thousands of dollars into this rabbit hole is how much time it takes to learn new gear. So not only are you spending money, you’re taking time that could go toward making a track.
Great point!
Great point, but I gotta say some of my own favorite creations were made while deep-diving into a piece of gear. It could be time well spent, not time wasted :)
But then there's also the great fun in learning a new piece of gear, at least for me. That has great value in of itself.
By learning new devices u learn new approaches of making music,so I d consider it useful most of the times
@@soejrd24978Agree it can be fun to learn the gear, and that can be a reward in itself!
This is why I like you, Cameron. You do what you want with your channel, even if it’s not the most popular. I’m sure the gear videos would be a lot more popular, but I enjoy these kinds of videos so much more. Keep it up, man
'Preciate it partner. More than enough gear videos to go around anyways, might as well do something more interesting than rattle off specs twice a month 😅
On god this guy has helped me so much with these vids
This isnt just him. The algorithm is borderline oppressive and people are exhausted. Expect to see even more videos of people going off their expected rails and "I'm leaving youtube" videos.
@@Clee3421 lol, truth! UA-cam is great isn't it!?! LoL More and more as time goes on I am sure youtube will find more ways to punish content creators hahaha 👊😉👍
Suddenly feeling inspired. Thanks for this. Seems it was the 🔥 I needed lit under my ass! @VenusTheory
I'm a graphic artist and i gotta say this is something that is probably true for most creative endeavours. There's no better way of getting a project started than limiting yourself. Creativity is fundamentally a process about problem solving, so you have to give yourself some problems to solve. This is especially the case for aspects of your craft that you struggle with.
I think it’s true for whatever you do when you are awake 😂 the info pipeline is strong 💪
That’s the reason I like using Pocket operators, limited capability while still being provided everything I need to make Musik.
Agreed for sure
❤️❤️❤️absolutely
I've always found this, regardless of the field I was working in at the time.
"...because the hardest way to make something is to wait until the time is right to do it"
I feel seen. Thanks for saying that, I guess I needed to hear it.
I was in that comment too 🫂
I second this. I spend waaaay too much time "setting the stage" as opposed to actually doing stuff... guess I'm a work-in-progress on that level.
this video convinced me to shave my chest
It also convinced me to grab a Moog (and not pay for it)
😂😂
mannn i feel this in my bones. i made my first song with audacity, a fisher price piano, a pawnshop acoustic guitar and a rockband usb mic... and its easily the most authentic, soulful piece of music ive ever made
Ah the days of the 'dude we can record I have a rockband mic' haha. Good times - did that many times myself in my buddies basement growing up because his parents could afford rockband 😅
Sameeeee, I made my first song with my first strat, a Rocksmith real tone cable and mix craft midi bass and MTpowerdrumkit, ended up being one o my best songs to this day.
I made my first song with a mp3 player and ten dollar earbud mic. It was 4 cords from my out of tune piano, a drum loop from who the heck knows where and I used some DAW nobody has ever heard of
I've only dabbled with music production over the years but recall purchasing the original Dance eJay (1997). However my younger brother became particularly interested and from there went on to pursue an education and career in sound engineering and performance. Sadly he's no longer with us but that simple PC program was his acorn.
Year 2040... Brings out UA-cam video on why Fisherprice is the new go-to retro device for synth musicians. Costs: £2000 on Ebay. 😂
You hit the nail on the head.
I've become more selective with my UA-cam subscriptions lately. I'm gravitating towards channels that prioritize genuine content over marketing fluff
I was 18, it was 1987. I had two old 1980's synthesizers and two cassette recorders (to bounce tracks back and forth), I would write and record a song each day, and then play it at my club that night (I was working as a club DJ in Toronto). Crazy how productive I was. Then I got a four-track Tascam cassette recorder, what a revelation!
Now it takes me days to figure out which of the thousands of drum sounds I have on hand are going to be the best for the middle 8 of the song.
I miss my Tascam Portastudio.
Which club in Toronto, btw cheers fellow Torontonian 👍😎🖑
@@ShaunyWalker look up the video on my channel titled "the story of how I got started in music and synths" from June of 2021 - I tell the whole story there, including footage from some of the clubs.
BAck in the 80's and 90's, before "in the box", recalling your half-finished project was a nightmare. There was no "Save Entire Project" when you were using a sampler, analog synth (with no presets), analog mixing desk and some outboard FX etc. They'd note down mixing desk settings and everything, to try and carry on working later if needed. But often, it just didn't sound right! So most (electronic, house, DnB) producers finished and mixed tracks as fast as possible, just so we didn't lose them. Recall making 4 or 5 mixes of a track, doing live fader and filter changes on each, then choosing the best later.
In hindsight, I think that's why many producers struggle to finish tracks now. You can always save and "perfect" it another time, so that's what we do. Always planning to tweak something, swap out the drums, change the bass, remix the sub. It wasn't an option back then, you finished and moved on, because finishing a half-done track a month from now wasn't an option.
Scott what a moving video. Thank you so much! Come back to visit Georgetown again...@@ScottsSynthStuff
This was a good to hear. Thank you. I have over the last 25 years bought, sold, re-bought and re-sold thousands of dollars of music gear . I just did it again. I bought a Novation Bass Station II for the second time. It is a good piece of kit. It is simple and does what it says on the box. So why did I let the 1st one go 3 years ago only to purchase it again? It re inspired me. When I was fiddling about with it in the store it gave me a feeling that recently I had not had. I don't feel creative.. I am bored. I have no steady source of income. I am in between jobs. I am 54. I am gaining weight. I just want to feel the dopamine and excitement of a purchase. I want to jump start my coping mechanism and buy some happy. The sad truth, I have played that Bass Station II once since I got it 4 weeks ago. It has collected dust sitting up against the wall .I have thought about taking it back to the store this loop has to end. It was ok 25 years ago with a steady stream of income, but now it's a gamble and risk. There is now this shame that I tricked myself in to believing that this purchase was going to make me happy. I'm amazed that such a simple instrument like the Bass Station II has created such a complex sequence of emotional responses that are not very pleasing to hear. Your segment here helped in a way. I never felt alone in this. I knew G.A.S. was a real thing. I lived it. Still do. Guess I got a little more work to do. Get a job, Get back to the gym. Respect and cherish that I still have my health at 54. Look forward to the future. Sell the Bass Station II new in box.
Get in the gym yes, but even more, eat healthy.
This hits hard. Be well!!
Keep your chin up mate 🙂
Don't sell it. USE it!
You bought it for a reason. Twice!
LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!
Ya you’re not alone It really is a matter of getting moving first thing in morning staying off phone and reprogramming yourself All the best

"Whether you tell yourself you can, or tell yourself you can't, you're right!
- Henry Ford
ooh... a Henry Ford quote! Spot on!
I love the term "equipment influencer" I'll be using that about ppl
Back when I got my Native Instruments Collection, I was really overwhelmed, so I set up a challenge just for myself: Only create music using the Minimoog clone (Monark) and built-in VSTs of my DAW. This gave me two really good insights: How to best use the free stuff that comes with the DAW, no fancy plugins needed, and how to get the most out of Monark at all. Pads, Leads, Drums, I can now confidently recreate a sound I have in my head. If I wouldn't have done this I would probably still be doing preset-hopping instead.
Brilliant and courageous analysis. I've suffered from GAS for decades, but recently moved and discovered just how much crap I acquired, never used, and stuffed in a closet for some ersatz rainy day. In the time I owned the gear, I was so consumed with studying and acquiring the instruments, hardware, plugins, DAW alternatives, libraries, etc., that I also discovered that I didn't make much to show for my money and time. Since this epiphany, I've managed to sell about 75% of that very same gear that I spent so much time and money acquiring. With each sale came this cathartic relief, so powerful and rewarding, that I just kept selling more. After two years, I'm down to "just the basics", only the equipment and software that I actually use, and I have now re-discovered the concept of actually making music. I've completed a number of songs just in the past few months, songs that eluded me for years. Perhaps the "analysis paralysis" and acquisitions were an excuse to not create, but now they no longer exist, and now I'm creating. So, bravo to you for pointing this out. Here's to the actual process of creating using what we have, and nothing more.
I've always agreed with this. It doesn't just stop with gear and creativity though. There's also an obsession with perfect mixdowns and sound design that has a similar affect on productivity. I've tried to assure people repeatedly, that if the music is good, it doesn't very much matter if you have the worlds best mixdown. A good song with a mediocre mixdown is always better than a bad song mixed by Dave Pensado. People start convincing themselves that unless they have the best gear, and the best engineers, they simply can't make a good song. Obviously nothing could be further from the truth. The best songs I've ever made were when I spent less time worrying about the perfect drum sample, or the perfect synth patch, and instead focused on the composition and got the idea out of me. I can always go back later and make a new synth patch, or find a better drum sample, but what I can't do, is go back and get the creative moment I was having, after I spend 2 hours making the perfect kick drum. I think the dirty little secret is, some of us actually enjoy making the perfect kick drum more than we enjoy making a good song, and a lot of us just don't know it.
Perfect can be the enemy of finished.
I made an album 1 or 2 years ago using just one Microfreak and free reverbs with a DAW. I was just jamming and recording, took the best takes and saved each as a song. I'm not a "professional" musician and I certainly doubt I would ever make enough money with the hobby I do on my free time, but that album is one of the most listened on my bandcamp (which doesn't have a lot of traffic, so that's really something).
It was really just one instance, of one instrument, and free plugins. Not a masterpiece, but plenty of people liked it.
Like a slap in the face with a wet fish, this was just the video I've been needing to break the gear acquisition cycle! Looking back with fondness to where I started with a Tascam 244 Portastudio, four tracks on tape cassette, a Casio VL-1 and my mates dad's Eminent organ, bouncing tracks down to squeeze more tracks onto a C90 cassette....so much fun and such a creative time...Enough typing, time to go make some tunes. Thank you so much 😊
you kinda helped me get back into making new music
Such wise and true words.
"Whether you do, or whether you do not, time is gonna pass any way, and regret for having not tried sure makes suffering with existence a whole more harder." - Cameron (2024)
Words to live by.
Yeah that was hilarious! :D
Good video too. I like these essayistic styled 'gear/music' videos.
Whatever your gear, there you are.
Nice to know I'm not the only one who's gone through this crap. Thx!
Excellently put. Interesting note regarding anticipation and justification, simply talking about a project to others and feeding off of their reactions gives us similar feelings in our reward centres as actually doing the project. So it satisfies the same craving, but gets nothing done. I stepped back and realized that every good thing I've made did not go through that little hype train exercise.
Oh wow I resonate with this here
Yess! Keep it a secret even though you really really want to share stuff. Same with wanting to make positive change, don't go around telling people how you'll improve because it hurts your odds for the exact same reason
I never commented on this channel but damn these videos help me a lot. With them I was able to make more music and evolve, today I got signed to two good labels under a new name and I'll start a new journey, thank you Cameron!
I think part of the cause of gear acquisition syndrome is that the first few pieces of gear that you get do help a lot. It is just that sooner or later you get to the point of diminishing returns.
Last years new hot itens, we all drooled over, are still exceptional devices. We font need the latest, tat.
Im no David Lynch, but I had my most creative burst, when I started out. £40 mixer, a turntable, a stack of spoken word and effects vinyl. A £15 Fab Chorus, £20 Distortion,£25 Reverb, £30 Delay and a Monotron delay, along with radios, old cassette deck and a dictaphone. I was frustrated, but happy and inventive.
I took up the artform late in life, when my hands were too worn out for heavy creative metalwork.
I consider my creative process to be resilient, now, no matter what my health or resources, I can create with an old laptop, open source software and a smartphone as a field recorder, from a hospital bed.
I've begged, stole and borrowed, Ive built, hacked and invented many devices, Im overwhelmed with gear. Im at a point where it's time for a lot if it to go. Im cool with that as well, I just cant decide, which ones, lol.
Refreshingly honest. The most sincere message I've heard online in years. Me thinks this guy could do fairly well with a channel just on philosophy and culture.
You make several good points with this video (as usual!). G.A.S. Is a real issue for lots of us. To control my G.A.S. I started a policy (5 years ago this month): “If I want to buy something, I have to sell something”. In other words, take the value in what I owned, recover it by selling it, and then use that money to buy the next thing. That saved me from falling over the cliff. That kept me from filling a room with an impossible to use amount of gear. I also agree with your point about using things for JOY, and not limiting a purchase to mere utilitarian reasons. Rock on!
I recently did this and it was an awesome way to get rid of things that I didn’t use to get something rare and relatively expensive that I use a lot and sounds great. I bought things used, so the value stays stable when time to sell
One thing I enjoyed about recording real drums for the first time recently, is that the sounds I got weren't exactly the sounds I was going for, but they still sound good.
I’m learning to appreciate the imperfections and flexibility of live instruments and getting out of the grid of the DAW
i remember the days when hardware sound modules were all the rage. you want more sounds, buy a new piece of hardware! God I wanted all of them!
Many thanks for this!
I've done a few gear vids, but by far the most engagement I got is for my one on G.A.S. and I think that's cos it's a universal issue, and often gets in the he way of creativity to our frustration.
Fundamentally it's way EASIER to buy things than to CREATE THINGS. Nothing is on the line when you click buy now. You get some dopamine, you can feel like it's an achievement. And you know don't get me wrong, it's fun to have stuff and that's fine to enjoy it however you like.
But it's when it becomes an excuse for not creating when you know you want to, that I feel it gets quite toxic. When it's filling a hole that should be filled with art. It can lead to serious issues, debt and depression and so on.
I too tire of the endless kit cycle and agree it holds back creativity, and try to stay out of it for the most part. Since I used to work at Sound On Sound as news editor about 10 years back it was very hard to let go of being deep into the industry and buried in gear cycles and so on, but I think it's good for you creatively to do so, so I'm trying my best!
I totally agree: It’s not about the camera … it’s about the Cameron!
Existentialism is definitely the biggest motivator for me to make music so this was definitely a healthy dose of creative juice and mortal fear.
Dude, I'm so glad you had to prove a point! This kalimba plugin was exactly what I needed
Another astute observation on creators and the creative process, my friend. You show wisdom beyond your years.
I love your regular reminders to be creative delivered with self-reflective psychology. Thank you.
Needed this one. Thank you. ❤
Thank You for this message🙏🏻💙
Man I could probably unsubscribe from every other music channel on UA-cam, but yours always brings something valuable to the table. This vid in particular was exactly what I needed to hear this morning
Great stuff. In my personal experience, it can take a while and cycling through a bunch of gear, to find a setup and workflow that works for you personally. Yes, anyone can make music with almost anything, but there are some great devices out there that trigger the deepest wells of creativity inside of you. My current setup is almost completely different from when I started out over 3 years ago. But I am finally in a place where I feel that that well of creativity is ready to be fully tapped.
This is something I've seen many times in different creative endeavors - if you're not doing the thing with the basic gear, you're not gonna do it with the high-end gear
Do first, improve gear later
Thanks Cameron! I wish you'd write a book at some point
one of my favourite creators on this platform. So inspiring
Glad to be of service!
You're right dude. I ended up uninstalling most of my vsts and have made more music than I did before.
Choice paralysis and thirsting for the next best thing takes so much energy and time.
Most VSTs come with a googolplex of presets and you end up masturbating 90% of the time listening to the stupid presets than doing anything constructive. Kind of a reason i like old monosynths is you have zero presets, you work to get something that sounds like your imagined goal, or even better, stumble on the happy accident, then you make a tune with it. Minimal masturbation.
Fantastic! Thanks.
Love your videos. The production value is awesome.
As a frequent sufferer of gear acquisition syndrome, I felt this in my bones. 😂 Your channel is gold, Cam!
This is such a relevant and reality based video, perfect for the new year. I made a few unnecessary purchases as I just got into this whole music production thing 4 months ago. Jumped in fully. It was supposed to be just getting back into mixing music so I picked up a DJ controller. Very quickly I decided I enjoy making beats and bought the latest version of Beatmaker and that started a spiraling out of control purchase frenzy. First I purchased a Akai MPC Live 2. I then needed an Audio Interface and studio sepeakers which led to wanting to have a better mixer because of the other gear I decided I needed. I settled in on a Tascam Model 12 so I could hook all the equipment. A Keystep Pro, MicroFreak, Faderfox EC-4, T.E. EP-133, and to actually make sounds outside of VST's I just picked up a ASM Hydrasynth to round out my studio. Former gambling addict and I love to buy shit. Every hobby I've embarked on I've been a full or nothing participant. Well, now it's time to continue learning how to use all of this equipment and making some music. Stay tuned.
Absolutely feel you haha. Recently did a big purge a few months ago of that pile of 'stuff I probably might need' that I accumulated over the last decade or so and that was a massive eye opener of how many things I owned that needed dusted off every few months!
what a fantastic and inspiring message. thank you 🙏
Excellent video and wonderful message at the end. Loved it!
Intro gave me anxiety 😂
This is me every time I try and work on learning something new.
himbo-casual slutty thumbnail is a blessing
Spent a solid 3 hours figuring out that intro having to edit it over and over and over haha, was on the verge of a mental breakdown myself 😅
I had my work volume up too loud as I walked away and had to turn right around and bring it down...😬

This advice applies to so many things in my life - gamedev, programming, music production, technical research/writing, etc. Thank you for these style of videos, they mean a lot to me and others, I’m sure.
More true words..as you say we need to be careless and reckless with our creativity..(and not with our wallets)..and oddly between when you said “our old familiar friend” and the word GAS came up, an advert for Reverb cut in.
"On the Shortness of Life" of Seneca is a gem. So inspiring.
I built my studio partly because I always wanted to have a space that looks like that. It’s weird, but it’s a physical manifestation of my success at work.
That said, I did start acquiring a lot more gear during the pandemic…at the same time I discovered music UA-cam. It’s really quite frightening the influence it has.
I have literally never spent I cent on music production. I am a firm believer that working on your skills is far more important than the tools you use
As grandpa would say: a bad craftsman blames the tools.
@@VenusTheoryGranpa also said: "a goot tool will allow you to forget about it and focus on your craft"
Truth!@@VenusTheory
Preach. I bought my DAW, a few basic VSTs like Korg M1(I make house, can't live without it) & Pro Q 3 (for the mid-side goodness) and that's it! That's all you need unless you are chasing a specific sound or publishing commercially.
So what do you use to upload the music 💀
Thank you so much for this, we need more content like this, I really appreciate this!
Brilliant! Resonates too much. Thank you.
Thank you. I honestly needed you to tell me this. Cheers.
Great point, excellently made! again!
I really appreciate your content- thank you!
I just love your videos and the way you reflect on and display your topics. I believe these ideas, train of thoughts and little lessons you present apply not only to music, but to life in general.
Great observations! Well said
You teach me a lot, big brother. Thank you so much for everything. ❤♾️
Beautiful vid, thanks!
I really appreciate the thought and care you put into your videos.
Thank you, very thoughtful video.
A very good advise. Thank you. Regards.
Are we just ignore the fact that this dude just went out and created a whole sample library just for the sake of this video? :O
Thank you Cameron, excellent video.
friggin' good insights.
thanks bunches, cameron!!
I've liked your videos more and more as time has gone by. This is easily one of the best you've done. And it's some wisdom I need to find a way to fit into my attempt at a process.
You are wise for your years. I happened upon your post just now. It’s exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you!
Thank you! Great video.
Thank you ❤
This video was for me. Thank you.
You are so inspiring mate ! I really like yr videos... They give me a boost to push even harder and never quit ! TYSM for doing that
This was the reminder I needed right before the weekend! Great message fam
Thank you very much for these videos. Honestly I started watching your videos sometime around last year and they’re very inspirational! I’m a singer who someday wishes to make it big but I restarted my channel just to give me a fresh start. Watching these videos really gives me motivation to keep going!
Absolutely. Thanks for that
All your vids are inspiring, creative, and very very funny at times, thanks for doing what you do man
Inspiring sir, appreciate you.
Dude, I just love your channel and your take on things. Feeling the exact same way now regarding creating stuff, especially because I've moved to a new place and I "feel the need" for a studio room.
You nailed this one! I love your desire to reflect the situation (of many!) to the point of facing the real reality and not justifying the virtual $mindgame somehow.. so cool you encourage people to think about it in order to find access to their original devotion and creativity again. Appreciate your 100% honesty.. 👏
Thank god I'm not the only one thinking about this stuff. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who's tired of jokes about buying more gear and the rampant consumerism surrounding music gear. Thank you for making this video.
hi Cameron, i`m so happy having subscribed to your chanel. nice to be remembered on true values from time to time. i highly appreciate your input. thanks
Your videos come around at these exact correct moments in my life lately. Sweet being on the same wavelength. Sending some puppy pettin vibes for your pup.
OMG babe Venus Theory just dropped another MOVIE quality VIDEO!!!!!!!!
So very very true. I will save this video for replay whenever I have the urge. Cheers Bruv
You couldn't be more precise with timing and content. It's so obvious, but also so hard to determine on your own. Thank You.
How dare you be so factful and accurate!!
Goddammit man, your videos are often right on the nose. I'd hate to know how many hours I've spent watching videos about gear I don't really need instead of just making music with the already significant amount of gear I have.
Thanks dude, your videos are so often a kick up my ass to go and make music.
I consider myself lucky to follow your channel, you make me feel like there is perfect balance between to have and to be. We all can look for it. Best wishes!
This was a really incredible point! Something I love about making stuff is the problem solving! And some of the most inspired problem solving is the workarounds of not having a budget or not having the right gear. Sometimes it does not go well and sometimes the solutions are brilliant. I do find that the moment you consider giving something a small budget, it’s way too easy to research and justify something outside of that budget.
thank you for sharing, you just said what in my mouth :)
This was great! More of that 💕
What a great video and discussion to start. Great points.
Beautifully put!
You're F'ng Right! I love you and what you stand for. It's been quite in influence on me in regards to just... doing what I WANT TO DO.
