Oh man, I've thought about getting into music production but at 42 I thought I was too old. I feel like this video just slapped me in the face and said, "No more excuses bitch!" Nick you are truly an inspiration. And undoubtedly adding years to your life. I've seen so many colleagues of mine retire and they're just rudderless. They don't know what to do with themselves. Keep doing what you're doing. I would absolutely LOVE to see a Boiler Room set down the road!!
Please start making music now if you have any question please ask I started off with playing samples and it was very easy and enjoyable to make some music good luck with your music and enjoy 😊😊
I started at 38 (40 now), I honestly could just about turn my pc on then. If you wanna do it, then do so. There's so many free DAWs, VST instruments and VST FX out there.
I feel the same way! I am 53 and I make music all of the time. The feeling you get from making a great beat just moves me and performing with my band mates is the best therapy ever! Musical gear is so accessible these days that anyone can get started. Keep inspiring people to get involved!
I’ve found this man so inspiring. I’ve always tinkered with music, been in punk bands, made beats(badly), done field recordings, and I stopped about 10 years ago and I’m not in my 40’s and missing this type of expression.
Good on you Nick from Oxfordshire! I’m 46 and have been learning electronic music production as a hobby for over 25 years without ever recording a single track. Your videos have convinced me it’s time to start sharing. 🫡
Brilliant! I love seeing Nick's videos and it's great to hear him talking about his new found life. As an older musician, I find his attitude, outlook and success very inspiring.
I am 65 and spend as much time as I can in Ableton Live with whatever wonderful plugins I can afford. I've listened to the Beatles, Bach, Elvis, Tangerine Dream, Sid Vicious, Prodigy, Enya, Drum and Bass, House when it started, Rave etc. You get the picture. At this age we have a lot of music in our heads to explore ourselves with the aid of great tech and the ability to clean up our (many). mistakes. Great fun as the body shows less interest in doing things to extremes at this age.
@@thelastdj i have the mk1 Analog Rytm,(loved it ever since it came out) now i have the Digitone II & Syntakt. They all have there modern edge and each time i make something otherworldly with them.
Great to see more of the man behind the videos, and all the banging tracks. Now I know I can ask you anything to do with the process 😎. (Got into music making at 49)
Hooo...that garden track is a BANGER! Just remember: the Belleville Three (ie: Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson) are all in their sixties, too. When the music gets REAL, all of that other stuff goes away and it comes down to the MOST IMPORTANT question of all: Does it BANG? If the answer's "yes", then just keep smacking those pads and blowing bass bins. At that point, you're only as old as the next note you're about to play. All music belongs to everyone, and the human silliness of pigeonholing everything has no point whatsoever. Let the subs BURN with 16 Hz floor-cracking timelessness! And that's coming from someone in their 60s as well. When they switch on the amps, age isn't a number... it's a pointless thing altogether! An aside: the length of this clip is 6:06. Clearly the Great Magnet is smiling down on you. 👍😁
SAME! For me as well, MUSIC IS EVERYTHING. Retired military, recently retired from the security industry & FEMALE, absolutely LOVE this video & seeing/hearing folk who are seasoned in life doing their thing. KEEP GOING! Respect. 🙏🏽
It's a good thing and a bad thing. No longer are the gatekeepers the ones that determine who is and isn't worthy. On the good end of the spectrum, it's how we got Tyler the Creator. But there is a bad side as well. That's how we got Drake.

Thank you yes please keep making music ❤❤❤
I started producing shortly before my 50th birthday. EDM, ambient, etc. It’s been a wonderful joy the last 4 years.
That’s similar to me and I really enjoy making music and I hope you enjoy your journey ❤❤❤😊
Absolutely fella, brilliant, I started at age 9 & I’ll be tweaking synths till I’m
99…hopefully 🤗
Yes never stop making music ❤❤❤
Hey Nick. Brilliant! I'm an ambient music producer...at 79 !
That’s great to hear keep making music ❤❤❤❤
Whats your Spotify name?
@ link in bio but try nick hayes and a track called Cyborg Angel Drummer
Great words from a gentleman who's got it all straightened out in his head. He also breaks down clichés. Much respect to him.
Thank you Adam ❤😂😂😂

I’m inspired! I’m 73 and got a Boss VE-500 I’ve been trying to learn to operate over the past few weeks so I can try to make music too. 🙌
That’s great I learned by watching UA-cam for hours and still do every day ❤❤❤❤
This guy is living the dream.
Thank you 😊

@@thelastdj also forgot to say that it’s very inspiring to know that we can all reinvent ourselves in our 3rd age when f living. Never too old … 😊
@@monicapostle2065 yes agree and I think we are now at an age where we are at our most happiest and try to not worry about the small thing anymore
So cool! 🎉❤🎉

Nick, 2 syntakts and a good dj mixer, with an external oedal or two, I'd go see it ;)
Yes that could work been looking at a looper or an FX machine to mix
You need to contact Mark EG and get a club set .
62 making music with videos here
Yes age is no barrier I hope you enjoy making music ❤❤❤❤
@@thelastdj Thanks, I love making music. It is also a great painkiller, maybe because of the focus and bliss when producing 🙏💚

As a musician I think that electronic music & rapping has never been music, just noise.
ugh yeah cos nowadays you HAVE to be viral to be recognized by the rest of the world
