After producing music for almost 12 years now, my message to newbies is this: There is no substitution for actually doing the thing. You can watch every tutorial vid on UA-cam, but until you roll up your sleeves, put in the time and do the thing, you’re on the wrong track. It’s no different than any other worthwhile endeavor. Be prepared, the learning curve is like climbing Mount Everest and I wish you best of luck on your journey.
Amen!
Amen
my mixes still arent radio ready which hurts my feelings, however after the trial and error and passing of time, watching tutorials i can be proud to say my mixes get better even if not perfect and a couple of them seem to almost be the best i could prob do even tho someone could do it better...its frustrating sometimes to know the music is good but the mix isnt. thx for the vids
I'm still an amateur but I tell people this all the time. Everybody is so scared to make a track and work toftand do stuff thinking they need to be at a level to be valid, but unless you're willing to make bad tracks, you'll never make good ones.
@@NathanJamesLarsenwhich daw is the most easiest to learn as a beginner?because I’m gonna start my journey as a producer but I’m still stuck with the daw ..and what I heard is that even if I don’t know how to use any instrument fl studio is the easiest to learn without instrument
1. Quantity over quality in the beginning (for familiarization & learning purposes).
2. Spend time more for practising than watching tutorials.
3. Active listening, be analytical, be a detective.
4. Implement/imitate what you've analyzed from your active listening.
5. Find a mentor or find a structurized course (not just randomized tutorials).
Thanks
Love this wish I could afford your course ! ❤

You're the best, thanks
thank you!!
The problem for a lot of us is that when we try to make music we have doubt that we can’t make music without being reassured that what we’re doing is correct and so we just watch another tutorial and listen to another song.
And then before you know it your listening and watching tutorials more than making music.
It’s very very hard to train yourself to trust yourself and make music without feeling the need to reference and make sure what we’re doing is done by the pros.

Dude is good 👍
This is the Same Exact thing that what I feel
you just gotta suck it up and make bad music- you will then improve quickly.
My brother , literally, the answer to this is Nathan’s step 5. 7 years of solo jam vs 3 years of networking
Very Relatable.
I'm guilty of spending more time watching online tutorials than making music/beats. This video just changed that.
Yea ikr! Me either lol, thanks to nathan for givin these tips
Early on I was too. I think MOST are guilty of it

Exact same situation for me. My ratio of time spent watching tutorials to time spent producing has been too far on the tutorial side
We are addicts!
To the "get a mentor" note.
People like having something you want, they like being asked nicely for help, they like being helpful and they like being thanked for it. They will actually start to really enjoy associating with you if this is the relationship you offer.
So, when trying to "get a mentor" remember:
Tell them you think they are wise and knowledgable enough to help you.
Don't just ask a question; ask for help.
Don't just thank them; tell them that they helped you.
This has helped me earn my mentors interest.
“Stop watching tutorials”
Me: ahh yes, I like what this guy is putting down. I’m gonna watch more of his tutorials!

I really, REALLY wish this ep's thumbnail had an actual bar graph _showing_ the 10x increase in learning speed. My disappointment is now up 83%, as seen in this chart 📈
Seriously though, this channel rocks...
Dude - I love YOUR channel!
I will try harder in the future to better implement said thumbnail strategies! LOL!
Kush just commented this video... Wow. 🔥🔥🔥
When I looked at who it was that commented I was like... "wait... no... wait. Really?" Haha
@@NathanJamesLarsen This is a very helpful channel. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. 🙌🏼🔥
Fu$k, even I squealed with excitement by the Kush-Meister laying some silky comments down.
Watching tutorials actually help me start my work day, because it is way easier to convince myself to spend 10 minutes on youtube than to start with projects I will spend hours on. So every time I sit down at my studio, first I watch a tutorial and take notes and then when I am already there, why not open up a project and the next thing I know I've worked on five songs for five hours. There are some videos that I've seen seven times because I really want to understand the concept. It's nice to live in such times.
Dude! This is the best, feature packed yet concise advice for anyone starting with music production! We live in a "paralysis by analysis" worldwide pandemic caused by never seen before information overload and very little guidance on how to handle it.
No matter what you might get into (may not even be music related) there's an immediate temptation to "learn" as much as possible by watching tutorials and reviews and soon you find yourself being sort of an "expert" without an actual expertise and your artificially acquired "expertise" inhibits your creativity because you now have become your own worst critic - you have made yourself into a perfectionist.
Perfectionism kills talents.
This was a really good video. I have been majority self taught as a producer, and to get to the point I am now it has been about 10 years off and on. Having these tips when I started would have been very helpful. To this day one of the things that I think has improved my skills the most is recreating beats I would find on UA-cam I really liked or even finding a drum loop on splice and trying to make my own loop that was identical using mostly stock sounds and plugins. This not only helped benefit from a sound design perspective but it allowed me to start really identifying panning as well, another thing which drastically improved my abilities.
Structure!!! That was one of the biggest things I lacked before the course.
Everything here is 100% spot on 🔥
You're a gem, Brandi!
Thank you so much for these tips but also at the end not trying to advertise your course. The fact that you said that your course may not resonate with everyone is a testament to your character whether you're a seen as a good producer or not. Thank you for the advice and much love!
This kind of honest content is the shit that I’m always looking for. Gotta support the real 💯
This has to be one of the most influential music production lesson I had & will have in my life for sure.
Your honesty is so inspiring.
I kinda figured most of the things you said. But hadn't been so motivated to follow them yet. Thanks for being a voice for me and a motivator. I wish everyone heard this from here.
Sometimes I can really be lazy to listen to other producers' songs and imitate. But as soon as I get over that my improvement is tremendous. (Also remaking/replicating a song that you're potentially enjoying sonically and structurally can change a life forever.)
Thank you for prioritising honesty over more reach on youtube. I come from a classical and schoolband backround but produce for around 2 years now, aspiring to score allround anime music one day, and even though people tell me that I could make some succesful producing tip videos myself it just felt wrong, because I am not yet at a point where I can actually bring value to the table like you do.
Keep the good work up and know that your effort is much appreciated.
Life is way too short to learn it all on your own 💡
You’re an incredible teacher, thank you so much, I genuinely appreciate these videos. 👏🏽
I really really appreciate your videos. You’re a realist with experience and you tell it like it is. I’ve been making music for well over 20 years but I’ve only been producing for 2. I went to college for it and studied but you do have to apply what you learn. I’m definitely looking in to your courses and I’ve also been able to use a lot from what I’ve learned through your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing and congrats on your new baby!
Love this Aaron! Thanks. And yeah lots of people get degrees without really learning anything - not saying you - but in general. I got my degree in music composition and there were plenty of other composers who showed up to class and never improved because they wrote one or two compositions per semester... 🤦♂️
Would love to have ya!
Your honesty actually got me subscribing to your channel ❤
I love that active listening tip!! One thing that has helped me a lot this year was not just using reference mixes, but coming to understand what those references were doing in the different freq bands by isolating them, and then applying those arrangement/balances in the professional mixes to my own mixes. It's weird how just isolating one section of the freq band can really open your ears to mistakes in your own mix!
I only just recently found your channel and it has already helped me more than 80% of the other videos I’ve found on yt. This video in particular is super great, lots of straightforward advice.
I’m a noob to all of this so it really helps to find a good channel like yours. Thanks for all you do!
Man, I'm new on your channel and I'm already a fan. The way you transmit ideas is awesome. Thanks!!
Dug your video on never finishing a song. Thats been me for the past few years. You just got yourself a new subscriber. Great work!
Subscribed, I love the no-BS approach to this video Keep up the great work Nathan!
Fantastic info. I’m going to watch all your vids now!
This video happens to be the most honest talk I found! "Do not worry of the quality, produce more quantity" , that's motivating.
Appreciate you for motivating to go ahead instead of not starting at all.
Huge respects for your honest lines!!❤
Great video Nathan! Totally agree with the points 🙏🏼
this felt like a sit down talk with dad
this is the best tutorial Ive watched. I needed this. thanks man.
This the realest music production videos ive watched so far
My one thing I'm guilty of is not finding this channel sooner, the advice here is simply fantastic.

Dude is good 👍
I feel so much better after watching this, so motivated and ready to try over and over again
thats also mindset that you can implement on the every aspect of life. thank you for great thoughts.
Watched this now, and I've been on a path of learning and discovery in the world of mixing, something I never imagined. Everything you've said here is everything I've come to realise over the last few weeks. Such good points.
Ok so I realized I’ve been doing all these things for the past year, I was quite a natural at music production, especially since I was a musician and a natural pianist. I used a free program and I was learning how to produce large EDM, hip hop, pop, lofi, ambient, Orchestral etc. within less than a year I was excelling at genres I’d never ever think of making. Now I know why! Literally everyone needs to use these tips, they will change your growth exponentially!
wise words bro! Love your videos...super honest & vulnerable, straight to the point, amazing info 🤩🙌
Love the insight. Very true. I’ve learned more from making songs in Logic Pro over the last 10 years than I could by watching videos.
Yep 100% - I'm all for watching tutorials to learn but you gotta actually do it

now thats greatness- instead of leading on to watch more videos- also yours- you are totally for the personal progress of your viewers. huge respect.

hey Nathan the video that everyone was waiting for you really did a great job!
Thanks Binjomin! Appreciate it so much!
Lots of great advice for someone who has just started! Thanks
Dude u re mind blowing!♥️
This was much needed to hear, thank you!!
Well communicated, and nicely focused. Thanks for sharing keyframe highlights of your journey of exploration.
Quantity over quality is what I NEEDED to hear. Blew my mind. Thank you.
Accurate and honest! Well done!
I can literally write a whole paragraph appreciating every single thing you said ....But let me make it short "YOU ARE LEGIT"....100% no BS....and Thank u as always..💖
Love this Akash! Thanks a ton and you're awesome!

Really love the explanation! Thanks man!
Dude! I had to stop the video to write this down before I forget it. There are some things that are so obvious that we simply ignore them.
I have experienced the problem of watching more tutorials than actually doing the stuff I was learning, cause I ended up being so mentally tired that I couldn't put the knoledge to practice, and in the next day when I wanted to do it, I completely forgot what I "learned" and had to watch the tutorial again and got stucked in that loop again.
Some of these tips I've been using without been aware of it, and know by listening to you externalizing them, it helps me to keep the focus and working on the important part of learning something
I've been watching your content lately and have learn so much in just a few videos. So... thank you so much for the good knoledge you share.
This is SOOOO true. We can know something without realllllly thinking it through and when you actually have the light bulb moment it can be huge! Keep on and keep pushing! It's hard. This isn't easy - but have fun with it and it makes it easier! You got this
You nailed it bro . Thanks.
Life is too short and we must adopt all these tips as a producer.
Great content. This video was really comforting because it validated what I've done to learn. Active listening is THE most important thing to producing/songwriting. All the greats are greats because they repackaged and combined the greats. Active listening helps your brain unconsciously go to a similar place when you're writing your own stuff. You'll find yourself instinctively use techniques you wouldn't have used before. When you experiment with those ideas, you only get better at discerning the little things that make songs great, which, in turn, helps you become a better listener. It's exponential.
This is gold. Nice one man
thank you brother, you are awesome!
That first tip has already blown my mind. I focus a lot on getting a high quality sound the first go around, then get frustrated cause it doesn’t sound pro, but never take into account that I’m new to production and really just don’t know what the frick I’m doing haha
That's huge that you can see that, though. Now you can take steps to make more quantity and ALLOW yourself to really learn through action! Get after it!

Dude is good 👍
Nice man, Thanks for shared!!
I'm not in the music industry, I don't even know how I came across your video. But REALLY great advices! I've learned more coding related knowledge from working with a mentor than building random projects on my own. This man is out here preaching the truth!
Great chat thank you 🙏🏻
This literally hold true for learning most things thankyou so much i will try to take ur course or anyone elses when i have money
Great Video. Recently I’ve been randomly loading some of my favorite songs I purchased on iTunes and loading them into Logic
I create markers for each section verse chorus etc and build my song around that arrangement. I try to build up the song instrumental around how many elements I hear per section on a professionally produced award winning song. They say success leaves clues study the scene thanks for making your videos they are really useful
Yes! That is great! I know others who do that too! Great way to avoid feeling stuck! Make a map!
❤
Refreshing video, super useful!
Thank you for this! I think you just pushed me away from youtube and back to Logic. I really appreciate how direct and honest you are man.
Love it - thanks Evan. Truth ain't easy but it's the right thing
Brilliant advice! Thank you so much!
i just recommended somebody your channel. Especially the video you did about producing and NOT mixing. A lot of 'mix channels' do not press enough that it's not the mix that is the problem but is't the production... Thanks man!
Awesome! Many things that you've told about there are about me and about my procrastinationn. Thank you so much!
Cheers man , appreciate the advice. Helpful.
Dude you are smart ! I love your videos. I totally agree with you about the first thing you said right away. Quantity versus quality at first.👍👍👍good advice
I've been trying to produce music for like 2 years, and i always was getting stuck on demos because i felt like it doesn't sound professional enough so i kept messing with the effects and plugins instead of just writing notes and somewhat structured tracks. I really needed someone experienced to tell me that i don't need to make my first songs very professional, and you just did. Now i'll be confident leaving a project if i can't make it sound better with my knowledge and move to the next one, or just make not so perfect melodies and sounds for just learning purpose.
I really like how you went honest with this and i can see you are. I'll give you a sub for now. Thank you for these tips.
Thank you for sharing knowledge 🙏
Once I saw the title I knew I needed this
This video is such a sea of information, really wish this channel had like more than a Million subs so people could actually watch his videos when they're starting out.. I started learning producing like 2 years ago, using UA-cam ofc, and even now I see a few people here and there on the internet who say they're starting out and need tips, basically all they need is this video right here.. All the secrets and key information is in this video, damn..
Brilliant insights! Cheers
Quality information my guy thanks for that. God bless 💯
Such a quality piece of content ❤️❤️
Nathan, you rock!
This is definitely true. I recently realized this since I began to learn music production for 3 years.
#2. is a direct call out for me, and you're absolutely right! I always watch tons of videos about songwriting and music theory, but i tend to not always apply them, and just "try " to store them in my memory and hopefully access them when i'm writing something next. I should stop watching these videos late nights because everyone else is asleep, but i'm always way to active that time haha.
This is the best video on UA-cam, I’m going to put in the time, thanks a lot
Thank you so much for this video, it was so informative and honest!
Thanks for the "Quantity over quality" tip. It's not an obvious thing but it actually helped me a lot
Great video man, extremely important content, as one who start not a long ago by himself, I can relate to most of the points you talked about in this vid.
Your advice is always so useful! Thank God for putting you on this planet. 🎁
Very important creativity principles and great references in the video.
I find you are a serious and authentic teacher. 👍 👍
When I was a visual art student, a few millenniums ago..., our teacher once told us:
''Never throw out you failed drawings or studies that you deemed to be failures or garbage. These can become the seeds for your greatest innovations later on.''
Wow, only 6 dislikes. I clicked this video as just something to watch before bed thinking it wasn't really geared towards me, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear some very thoughtful pieces of advice being shared. This is something I think a lot of people getting started should watch, as it addresses a lot of the problems that confuse new producers, straightforwardly and giving guidance for the right direction to head in. You got a like!
i really needed to hear this
this is facts, thanks for this
Damn your really on point bro. Great channel. Cheers.
I found this guys ad on Facebook day before black Friday. Just from watching the workshop, I busted the blocks in my head. I literally wake up and mess with the music before work, usually with a coffee. Get off, do the same thing before bed. In the future I'm sure I'll buy the course but righteously, this guy is one of the most sound guys I've found about this stuff. Everyone else is a gate keeper
I am sure this video will realy change my life. Thank you for this video!!
Just perfect, thank yoou!
So much VALUE in 10 minutes. Thank you so much!
Thank you for encouraging people like me to learn even from scratch
This is great advice from the pro....thanks a lot Nathan..am your number one fan.
You're awesome thanks! 🔥🔥
