In what part of the world do you reside?

I am also a composer/musician, working on putting together my first album of originals and releasing studio sessions and even music videos. I have been playing piano for over 20 years now but never shared with the world until recently. Sometimes it’s hard to keep going when rather mundane music or silly cat videos get hundreds of thousands of views. I find that sharing my own originals is a bit scary because I am sharing a personal part of me. I have decided to stop looking at my video stats and just keep going. Art is about creation, it will speak to someone. Choose the path that has your heart.

The more frustration with other things, like your crappy headphone jack, that will overlap into your overall mentality. Time for some new headphones maybe. I ended up getting the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. Really nice sound. I'm just starting out so it's definately overwhelming knowing where to start and come up with original ideas. I think my problem is i'm too influenced by other music I enjoy, so i find myself humming tunes from other songs..lol One other thing, I have this Olympus VN-541PC Digital Voice Recorder, it's small and fits in your pocket. So if you come up with a tune or a song while out, you can just hit record and save the ideas. Then just play them back later. Good luck with the music.

What fkn guitar vst is that 😦😦

neat video

I prefer the old school approach of writing demos. You can stick to acoustic instruments that always sound great. If you have an idea that sounds good with just a piano or rhodes then you know its something that deserves more polishing. Seems like everyone wants to write, record, produce, sound design, mix, and master all at the same time. Stick to demos so that the creativity can run. I do the wake up early thing as well. I get so much done that way

Subscribed. I'm going on this journey with you. As a beginner music producer I think it's nice to see that you're not the only one that's having a hard time. Being a student (medschool) and also having a part time job makes being creative and just producing music while learning music theory and perfecting your piano skills so much harder. Persistence is the key and it will get us somewhere nice. I'm gonna tell you what I tell myself. Keep at it and you'll succed!

As a music producer and a programmer calling a daw and ide is kinda cool lol

thank you for sharing augy! i like the range in your sound. i quit my tech job 3 months ago to do music full-time and now i produce professionally + work at a music venue doing live sound/lighting. if u really want to do this thing as a job and feel like you can't, know that it's possible. some things i've learnt: just dont stop, keep showing up, get good. i grew up not being allowed to listen to music - if i can do it you can do it. it's just the beginning for us, keep going! just remember - you can doubt the music, but you can't doubt yourself

dope vid sister, followed

YT suggested me your video :) I related so much ahahah. Been on music production since my 20’s. Produced many different styles. I like your voice and I have a few musics that need a singer. Let me know if you would like to listen them and eventually a collaboration just borns 🍀

this video makes me angry, she is literaly not using her brain. just doodling on different things, not trying to pinpoint a sound of a song, start with one idea and develop it. let the music and instruments sing for them self, not your stress and anxiety

POLSKA GUROOOM

you are wrong, you dont always have to make a good song. You dont have to slave over it, and you dont have to make it look like heart surgery. just make as much music as you can you will get better over time , and find what you like the best about your own music ambitions. you honestly just look like a lazy person.

Insightful vid thanks for sharing, I wanna start finishing things too

If writing music makes you feel like work, stressed, you have to think about it, it means that the end result will be soulless, bad, inauthentic. Everything I saw in the video is just wrong. The first step should be to learn to play an instrument and some music theory.

i want to make some music like u but idk where I need to start

i enjoy your video because i'm in the same process. all i want to do is only make a song that coming from my heart

hey, wanna do something together? im also a musician, and a begginer

I've been recovering from an injury for the past several months and haven't been able to make music as good as I wanted during this time. Now I'm kinda in the same situation that you are. Thanks for this video it helps not to feel alone

Your process is fun to watch, as well as very disciplined, powering through both rough periods and distractions.

It's tough. No two ways about that! Sounds like you've got the right idea though, and the right work ethic.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much for sharing, incredibly inspiring!❤

love from brazil

Respect to you for showing this process - all too familiar! Every now and then I go through the same thing until one day something will click and the ideas just pour out. Looking forward to seeing the next part

mediocre musician woman gets more views and subscribers than seasoned super good musicians same reason why extraordinary disavantage at dating apps as told by A Better Bachelore. she got more suscribers than me in a decade, just because she is a pretty girl and their audience wants to have a chance of marry her or something.

Dobra?

This is great, finally someone showing not only good parts, but also bad/not working parts of creative process. Kind of. I like your raw style.

I really enjoy watching your creative process! Looking forward to watching your next video. The struggle of trying to focus with all the distractions and ADHD definitely reminds me of myself when writing and recording. Keep up the good work! You're very talented!

You're helping to inspire my own musical restart, thank you!

It's very easy to become overwhelmed and feel your art is going nowhere ,especially when trying to reach an audience. I began my journey at 19 , it wasn't until almost 30 years later I finally got some recognition. Perseverance is key . I firmly believe quality will always find an audience . Good luck!

and no-one cares, girl. Stop whining and do it. Like every freaking professional producer had to do it. Back in the time you had to make cofee for 5 years till you finally where allowed to mix anything. So please be a little humble and thankfull in what times you are living. Doing everything you want with1000 bugs at all. With 1000 Bugs 15 years ago you wheren able to do shit.,

Hej, wybacz, że piszę po polsku, ale mam kilka porad dla ciebie które mogą ci pomóc zmniejszyć frustrację przy tworzeniu muzyki, a ja będę mógł wtedy oglądać twoje filmy bez wielkiego ptsd, bo przypomina mi się jak mi nic nie wychodzilo na początku haha. Nie obejrzałem za dużo z tego filmu, jakis czas temu wyswietlila mi sie pierwsza część w proponowanych, obejrzałem całą i przejrzałem kanał. Główny powód dlaczego twoj proces tak cie denerwuje to to że uczysz sie wielu rzeczy na raz, a w kazdej jestes na oko początkująca. Bycie poczatkujacym we wszystkim jest frustrujące, a co dopiero jak nalozysz to wszystko na siebie, wtedy wychodzą sytuacje w ktorych tydzien probojesz zrobić piosenke a twój daw jest dalej pusty. Ja w pewnym momencie zrozumiałem, że to glownie dlatego ze robię wszystko na raz, za szybko. Sprobój sobie rozłożyć caly proces tworzenia piosenki na czynniki, i zająć sie każdym z nich po kolei: 1. Napisanie piosenki 2. Nagranie Piosenki 3. Mix 4. Mastering Kiedy robisz wszystko sama, musisz sie nauczyć "zmieniania czapek". To znaczy, że każde duże zadanie delegujesz sobie, ale jako ty - songwriter nie interesuje cię robota ciebie - inżyniera mixu itd. Co chcę przez to powiedzieć? Glownie to, żebyś spróbowała następnym razem napisać piosenke zanim w ogóle wlaczysz komputer, niech cię nie rozprasza to wszystko na raz. Weź jeden instrument, telefon czy kartke i po prostu spedz kilka dni zeby mieć fajną piosenkę. Jezeli chcesz stworzyc piosenkę np z pianinem to mozesz odpalić sobie standalone wersje pluginu żeby nie dotykac dawa. Z focusrite raczej ci przyszlo xln addictive keys a oni maja taką wersje napewno. Jak juz masz napisana fajną piosenkę i jestes z niej zadowolona, to odpal machine i nagraj sobie dwie demo ścieżki - instrument z ktorym pisałaś, oraz wokal. Mozesz je nagrac byle jak, to nie ma znaczenia, ważne żeby od początku do końca. Jak sie pomylisz przy nagrywaniu to nie zaczynaj od początku, uzywaj wszelkich technik jak punch in. To nie ma brzmieć, to ma wyglądać haha. Jak juz masz te dwie ścieżki, to użyj markerow w dawie, czy regionów, nie wiem jak tam u ciebie to sie nazywa, w moim dawie to są regiony, zeby oznaczyc sobie miejsca w piosence. np Verse 1, Chorus albo A B A B C, jak wolisz. Jak masz to wszystko, to jakby nie patrzeć masz przed sobą szkielet swojej piosenki. Wiesz ile bedzie trwala, gdzie sa jakie miejsca. Pozniej to już jak chcesz, ja zaczynam od bębnów i kończę na poprawnym nagraniu wokali. Miksem i Masteringiem bym sie dopiero przejmował jak wszystko jest nagrane, jesteś z tego zadowolona wiec została juz wisienka na torcie czyli zmiksowanie fajnej piosenki. Oczywiście to mój proces, nie narzucam go całkowicie, ale napewno w 100% podpisuje się rekami i nogami ze jak napiszesz piosenkę zanim w ogóle wejdziesz do dawa to mnóstwo frustracji zaoszczędzisz. Pozdrówki!

Cool content. Keep it up! <3

What do you use to sample your drums and other loops ? :)

Good video! I’ve found that focusing on self-compassion when making music is super helpful, I hear your inner critic coming out a lot. I wish I had your keyboard skills!

I really like your channel - i like watching the creative process and all the struggles makes life seem real. like i am not the only one. AUGY can you please create a youtube channel with all your music on it. I like to listen to it from time to time. I like the mood you create. Maybe call the channel Augy - Music. This will give your viewers a one stop place to listen to your creations. I think it will help grow your channel. Just a suggestion from a fan. Thanks for making this post and showing us viewers the creative process.

I DISAGREE with arcadepiano. arcadepiano is making it sound simple to be an artist and be creative which is simple not the case. As for brain fog / concentration - YOU have to feed the brain daily. If you are having trouble concentrating. Have a cup of green tea or matcha tea (boil water at 80 degrees, no more, for max benefit) or Have a cup of yerba mate black tea (bring water to full boil max benefit) or here is what i do I drink a cup of green tea or matcha tea and take organic Lion's maine (mushroom supplement) this will help brain focus. You can also buy lion's maine coffee. To clean out brain fog blue berries. 1/2 banana (b-vitamins) or half apple (choline). Leafy greens such as spinach are good as well.

Love seeing this raw process. Was thinking of doing the same thing!

I’ve noticed with me when I get my physical and mental health in check I do much better . Also , if I get my hormones correct , my mind is much more clear . It’s very hard and time consuming making music , but I feel like for us musicians it’s a bug that never goes away.

very nice video. keep up the good work ☺

Interesting process. You could maybe sit on a higher piano bench in order to be more comfortable playing while inventing piano parts. I'm all admiration for people who can song-write. I sank a ton of hours into trying to come up with ideas and take even one of them to fruition, but I realized I'm not that guy. I can see how your process would eventually lead to a song with a fresh feel, kind of like Rachel Collier's process does. Good luck, and keep having fun!!

good video

I'm trying to ditch social media too. So much lost time and productivity from doom scrolling. Thanks for the inspiration!

This video is so relatable. I enjoy watching your creative process! I've been in a musical rut lately and haven't been able to write anything for a few months and you've given me some inspiration.

Yes we all have had 'bad' music ideas but as long as you learn from those bad ideas they're serving their purpose in helping you to move forward into good and great ideas. That's what writing music is to me. This is a very raw look at your process and I appreciate the less edited version with all of the experiences in making music kept in. Looking forward to seeing how things progressed.

Hey, I feel you❤ I stopped thinking about recognition long time ago - now just enjoing myself with the process. Playing small concerts (people come even though they don't know you) helps a lot - it's magical to feel this connection🙏

This is pretty spot on compared to what I've been going through. I definitely grew resentful of myself for not continuing on with a good thing I had years and years ago. I'd even try to play something on guitar and instantly be frustrated about my "lost" talent since I was extremely out of practice. I couldn't even play in time to a beat... LOL! For the last two years I've slowly been progressing to getting back to the same level I once was and am about there and even better in some aspects. Another problem I had was thinking that I really want to get back into creating music and thought the solution was to just throw money at the problem and hope something sticks. Anyways, very great advice and inspirational. Thanks! 😁
