Do you have experience with self doubt in relation to making music, or being creative? At the end of the video I'll do litte live techno jam...

Ever thrown off balance? I'm curious if there's more people with the same thing... What do you do with it?
I think you should just ignore them and let it go. Only negative people will leave negative feedback, a positive person will always find something positive to say. Don't let them pass that negativity onto you, look at the good comments and focus on those. Your audio and video quality are great and i'm sure you know that so just keeping doing what you enjoy and stay positive.
@@d.b.cooper5775 amen to that!
Whenever I see a video by a new UA-camr, I try to be helpful - but I can't control how the message is received, either. It might be easier for you to just "be your own critic" for a period of time, and not even read the comments for several posted videos. That's not easy, but it will help with your inner strength. Then, after you have built some confidence by only letting yourself criticize, you can read other helpful comments. As others have already pointed out, it's easy to separate comments from reasonable people from comments by trolls or ne'er-do-wells. Good luck! Stay strong!
thats an amazing setup - perfectly choosed gear ❤
Awesome jam
Brother, don’t let random internet people trigger your inner critic and self doubt. From a fellow producer.. You are doing an amazing job and your videos are excellent. Keep going! We almost have the same exact setup
Thank you for your kind words!
Hey man, please keep doing these videos. I like the fact that you talk about your doubts. I think that a lot of artists are dealing with that, it's definitely something that I recognize. When you have put so much energy into something it is hard to hear these things. And online critisism can sometimes hit hard, especially since nuance is hard to convey in text. Hopefully you can use it to grow as an artist.
Thx man! I actually paused making these kind of video's. I just started nursing-school and that's a LOT! And making them is very labour intensive. Maybe Ill do another when there's more time. But making these video's helped, comments from people who felt supported by the content too!
You seem like a dealt genuine guy with a passion for music and synths! The Bass Station 2 is my only synth I struggle with, but that has started to change. Your video has helped immensely. Keep up the good work! 😎👍🎹
Glad the video helped! Give the machine some love and it will love you back... what a great time to live in with all those awesome synths available. Have fun!
Thanks a lot for this video! Your content is awesome, your jams are always a pleasure to hear. Starting something new, like talking more in videos, always comes with a learning curve - glad you're tackling that, I'm looking forward to more videos where you show things!
The BS2 part, very insightful. I particularly like the "use sub oscillator as a backup plan for more oomph" idea!
And I see you have the Ctrl-V sticker overlay, too! Very useful indeed!
Thank you very much Haslo! My plan is to release a video every week. Planning on discussing everyday motivational stuff and offcourse synth stuff. Really nice to notice so met people appreciate these subjects.
Thanks 🙏
Glad you dropped by!
This is great stuff. Love the combination of talking about the various aspects of the creative process, and the internal struggles that come with that.
Thank you! When i made this vid, I couldn’t believe that Im the only one with these struggles… glad it resonates!
Dude you definitely have to make videos, you have something to say from heart wich is also connected to music. I bet many people in our situation can relate to this, its the third or fifth video I see and everytime you brought me some worthy. Im an undiagnosed Asperger by the way :) and I spent too much time and effort in my hobby last years, without getting satisfied, sometimes it is really more depressing me and I should look on my life again. I bet you can see this struggle. But I just wanted to say, keep up combining those mental and musical topics - at least for me, its fire!
Thank you so much for these kind words! I'm glad you got something out of it!
Dear Luctae, thanks for this video. Talking about a topic like dealing with rough times is universal, everybody has to face tough things in (techno)life. It shows that you have guts and honesty, real great how you reflect and it shows character. And, I also have to deal with simular stuff. In the end the love for music and being creative will conquer. And ..... great info about the BS2 ! What a sound ! In the end your track is also a nice gift for the ears ..... Keep on going mate. Warm greetz K@Z
Amen my friend! I really appreciate your friendship and support. It’s really awesome to be on this techno journey with you spending time with you. We’re gonna rock the place!
Subbed and looking forward to more of your videos. As far as being throw off, I think it happens to everyone. Your response is great I think -- just note that's what's happening, carry on, and learn from whatever you can. You already have great filming, great sound, great talk! Perseverence is so powerful! Whatever you think is lacking will naturally appear with experience. Best wishes to you.
Love your choice of gear, btw. That case looks and sounds awesome!
Wow, thank you for these kind words. I really appreciate that🙏
Ive put in a LOT of thought in this specific combination of gear… sometimes I feel i want to add a drum machine, but that would throw things off balance! Really happy with like this.
congrats for keeping it up bro
Thx!
It sounds good!
Thanks Andy!
Doing what needs to be done, to get what u want! Keep up the good work🔥💪
Nice to see you here Paco! And yeah, you know what that’s about…! Thx for your support man👌
What a gem of a video! Being a man, a learner, a musician, all require resilience. Respect, man. Sub'd.
And what a gem of a comment. Well said, respect 👌
Nice video mate ...and stick with it ...I’ve really enjoyed watching and listening to your live jams ...I’ve always found your videos to be top notch mate 👌👌
Thank you very much for your kind words!!🙏
Kudos for putting yourself vulnerable. Remember that this is the only way to grow, making mistakes and embrace being vulnerable. You will improve your videos the same way as you keep improving your music production. You didn't stop producing to get where you are ;). If feedback or comments are not constructive, let it go, that means that the other end doesn't have the capacity to grow, not your problem.
Thank you very much for your kind and supportive words! There is power in vulnerability right? See you in the next one!
Man, if someone doesn’t want to watch your videos can simply watch something else. What matters is you make these videos because you like it, so keep making them! I’ll watch them because i like your workflow and I think your music sounds very good. Cheers mate!
Thank you for these supportive words. I will keep making them... I promised myself 😎
Nice deze!
Ik herken helemaal het gevoel van ‘yes’ dit heb ik met hart en ziel gemaakt.
En dan komt er commentaar….
Nooooo!
Helaas hoort het er bij, maar eigenlijk is het ook wel weer een manier om jezelf te verbeteren.
Ik kan het niet altijd direct op die manier zien, maar vaak zit er wel iets in waar ik weer wat mee kan (het commentaar)
Iig neem ik altijd maar aan dat het niet bedoeld was om me de grond in te trappen. Dat scheelt voor m’n gemoedstoestand 😂
Deze video is iig weer heel interessant om te kijken en te luisteren.
Net voor de tweede keer geluisterd en dat was geen straf!
Thx man! Het sterkt me wel dat er best veel mensen zijn die zich in dit onderwerp herkennen. En inderdaad, het is bijna nooit zo dat mensen je de grond in willen trappen, bijna altijd is het goed bedoeld. Het komt alleen soms net ff anders binnen als het je kindje is... Fijn dat je m kon waarderen man!
@@LuctaeMusic klopt helemaal.
Ik heb wel eens wat film opdrachten (betaald) gedaan en kon niet goed overweg met de ‘mening’ van de klant.
De muziek is te treurig.
(Mijn eigen track gemaakt.)!
Kun je dit of dat ook wat prominenter in beeld brengen?
Dat shot vinden we niet mooi.
Terwijl ik m’n creatieve ei er helemaal in had verwerkt.
Het heeft mij (oa) wel doen besluiten om niet te veel van die dingen te doen.
Gewoon lekker als hobby, maar zonder druk of ‘eisen’.
Als professional moet je het er mee doen en leer je er ongetwijfeld mee omgaan.
Maar ik voelde de energie weglopen en dat was het mij niet waard.
Het is ook echt hobby voor mij en ik vind het fijn om alles zelf te doen.
Op mijn tijd.
En kritiek neem ik (mits enigszins normaal gebracht) ter harte.
Leer ik weer van.
En wat ik niet wil of kan veranderen, dat laat ik dan lekker zo.
Elke keer een stapje verder op de reis langs mooie ervaringen!
I make music and post it for review and some people love it some hate it that’s techno for you
Yup, just like in teal life😎
Another nice video. I had BS2 I liked it a lot however I had to sell it to finance an analog four...I miss it somehow. Now regarding the negative feedback..why bother? Its the internet...you can't satisfy everyone. If its satisfying for you that's enough..
Thank you Nostrom! Hard choice between the A4 and the BS2… but honestly, the A4 is an absolute beast! Regarding the feedback, wasn’t negative per sé. It just wasn’t easy to hear.
Hey man thanks a lot for the video! how do you go with the bass station starting when you trigger your master clock?
for some reason my sequencer on the bass station doesnt start when i start my master clock (boss rc300 in my case)
thankss
nope, it is sequenced by the Digitakt
Dude! Thank you for sharing. We have some things in common for sure. Do you feel like your job is a good fit for also doing hardware techno? Does it leave you with enough energy after a work day?
Just checked out your channel, you're right we do have thing in common. Yes, my job fits well! I have irregular working times, so I have a lot of moments I can make music when everyone else is at work :)
@@LuctaeMusic Thanks for reply. I'm enjoying watching your channel grow = )

Thanks! Self doubt can actually be a good thing, it makes you ask yourself... Just as long it's not overwhelming to a point of quitting.
