If you're still reading this comment "Nugget with the sauce".
You forgot staying up all night producing and waking up the next morning to hear what you have down and realizing it's complete shit
+Noah Scrase already futured in soo many other vids
Noah Scrase man true, its like you listen enough and anything sounds good. The next day, boom, time to trash the whole thing
Noah Scrase just made a hot beat couple of hours ago. Had another listen and it sounds garbage.
Noah Scrase sameeeeee

" we can't pay you with money per say...but we'll pay you with exposure"
The words that every artists loath.
per sé :)
@Annabel Attridge this was entertaining to read thank you
yepp, chances are if you don’t have the money to pay me than the “exposure” you’re offering is a minuscule amount at best, and “exposure” won’t keep my lights on. try again when you have a down payment
"Can we just autotune this whole room"
0:53 now thats floor gang
Bruh 1.4k likes but only three replies?
yeah thats happened to me before i swear. the guy just said "turn autotune up all the way" i died of laughter
2:21
nugget with the sauce actually isn't that bad of a producer name.
OrchestralArt what about Sik God
How about Wint3rmint
@@sikgod719 we have sik-k in korea
yeah its unique like my prod name :P
ItsOlly ohhhh my goodness😭
You forgot the part where you spend 5 hours of mixing and fl studio crashes so you have to start all over.
Thats why you got to save your work whenever you do something good, Ive just done a new 30 sec start of a beat and my buddy's like "Oh shit thats lit" *Save* *Save* *Save again* *Save on another file name*
@@killadamgamer just set autosave after half a minute lol noobs
Ctrl + S is now just a reflex movement
@@killadamgamer bro same
Just use Logic which automatically saves no matter when you crash, which will seldom happens if you're using Logic, you never lose a beat.
N-N-N-NUGGET, WITH THE $AUCE.

This is every single modern day producer I have ever seen.
You missed this:
Download cracked version of like a million plugins and never use them
Herman Grove lol me
Nahhh all the plugins i cracked i use lol

Yah!!! Have you heard about a term called bandwidth? We usually are really low on that...😂😂😂
Step 1 - Have FL Studio.
Step 2 - ???
Step 3 - Profit.
Or GarageBand
Helio Ableton!
FL studio for life!
Step 2 is add 3 more Soundgoodizers lol

I was expecting a real tutorial...
But what I got was way better!
It is....more like an anti-tutorial ;P
well then you're not smart enough or too ignorant to understand an actual tutorial on how to produce music would not be 4 minutes long, theres far too much to learn. its not uncommon that people pay for music production classes and also the kind of tutorial you're describing would be titled "how to produce music" . This is video is "how to be a music producer" and it is a real tutorial, even though its somewhat intended to be funny, it accurately depicts the stages of growing as an artist.
Platinum XYZ ya...
Same
Wym this is a real tutorial
Only thing you missed is constant facebook updates saying 'in the studio' while making music with a laptop & headphones
Lmao

+FrankJavCee was almost expecting to see you here #basedFrank
+FrankJavCee :D
hey! its frank, jav, and cee!
e x p o s u r e
it is true
1) Get a pianist education
2) Buy a MIDI-keyboard or a digital piano with a USB-MIDI-cable
3) You want to make a great deep sound, so you try to learn more instruments...
4) ...unless you just give up and download over9000 Kontakt libraries instead.
Pretty much lol
Xaero188 nope nope nope, sylenth1 and fl studio is the answer to it all
Serum and fl studio is the answer to it all
Serum and FL Studio is the anwser to it all
Rohan Manjdadria legit alchemy is a fire plugin that's stock on logic, so alchemy and serum for the win.

I am there rn
@@blearbenin wot?
Literally me xD
I dont get even that🤣
It had to start with "Pirate a copy of fl studio because ur cheap"
+bryan81 no it isn,t. it is much cheaper than DAW like Logic, Cubase and other
logics like $200 if that, i dunno conversion rates rn
Cheap AF Bro!!
fl studio can be expensive (depending on who you ask and what level you buy at). I spent about $1200 for the complete package.
John Doe free GarageBand on the iPad my nigga😂😂🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a Pro engineer & music producer, I have to say all of this is true, LMAO.. From everyone asking do I know what all the buttons on a SSL & Avid S6 does to can you make me sound like Drake LMAO.. Thanks for sharing guys. Great content.
Archie Beatz can you give some tips with music making ? I'd like to make some musics for animations and things like that
Can you make me sound like Drake?
All you need is a iphone, download the GarageBand iOS version
But do you really know what all the buttons do?
True.

+IFHT cool video guys!
IFHT Hey, an actual music producer here. You forgot to mention that music producers have to know how to play a piano and understand music theory. Music theory is the most important part of becoming a composer and a producer. And the most important aspect of it all, the audio engineering and the mastering. Two of the most important aspects along with understanding music theory.
But I get it, the video is for humour purposes. I find it hilarious that some people think this is what music production is.
Ex-Muslim Libertarian Atheist just take a look at Mike will made it
MrKelmeister what about him?
IFHT Films I
You missed the most important one : ask every producer you know for a collab
Collab bro ?
+Thib92 yessss
Ah shit Thib92! I love your stuff dog we gotta collab for real dawg that shit would be lit!!!
true! Collab Bro?
Collab bro?
I try avoiding that xF
Step 1: Watch a loooot of yt tutorials about the DAW youre using.
Step 2: Watch a loooot of yt tutorials about the genre of song you want to make in that DAW.
Step 3: Put a lot of effort and realize that you failed.
Step 4: Congratulations youre an true music producer!
I have watched this first day it came up and now am a music producer
thanks helped me alot! bought a midi keyboard with 500 keys now Im producing all the hits.
sarcasm thingi sure really is a fool the more keys the better the producer how bout drawing chords in daw??/ less keys would surely be 0
LAS bro you got an instagram
maximum keys I've ever witnessed is 360
Manu Kumar well its a good thing he was joking then isnt it
Try side-chaining the eggs for even more protein.
+The Hoax Hotel lmao
add some reverb, you know you know, just add some reverb. oh yeah and delay too
ZAKUMI don't also forget to add a EQ to every sound even it doesn't need one
Ping pong
more reverb
Radwan Ibrahim aces to aces
Niky Parvanov stack the layeeeeers
first i bought a guitar=, but gave up lol
then i bought a computer with fl studio
then i bought launchpad
i created soundcloud
litteraly yesterday i bought a 61 key midi keyboard
and now i see this lol XD
sammmmmmmeeeeeeeee
Same hahah
I bought two guitars (acoustic and electric) a year ago
now a month ago I bought an audio interface and mic and mixing heaphones
then I bought a midi keyboard
And I use Cakewalk for free (DAW; use it, it's not a hacked version, it's an actual official free program!)
And I have snippets of ideas, but that's it!
Lmfaooo
Meeee lmao. Now I spent over 1200€ on gear 😂
But it's really "How to become a skeleton."
😂😂
at first i thought this was some joke i didn’t get, but then i waited till the end of the video 😂
Lol
I worked with an artist named Gucci savage and he was the laziest piece of shit I have ever met. He didn't do anything and complained about the track and would start all over again. Because of this a stopped working with him and now he works at taco bell
GoneFlying what your Insta so I can hit you up
Lmao I found that dude on soundcloud he has like 1M bought plays lmao
@@kenyangardner3359 how much would that cost lmao
lmao I looked him up on SoundCloud and he's ass
"Can we just autotune this entire room?" LOL.
3:56 homie couldn't find his pocket
cutthroat ik that bugged tf outta me for some reason😂😂😂
His jacket was probably itchy lol
1:19 is fire! 🔥🔥🔥
Cop : Im arresting you
DJ : No I dropped my vape!
You missed Ghost Producer !
+Alexandre Bisson We had a hilarious step for it, but we cut it cause we already had a ghost producer in How to be a DJ hahah
We need a nugget with the sauce sample download.
Download the vid as an MP3 but it down to where he says it. And eq it a little. That's how I made my prod tag. (I love mine. It's Kyle repeatedly saying SoundCloud)
Damn these How To Be video are really lit fam. It's really commendable how much production value goes into these when the majority of TH-cam is just people filming them playing games.
Nugget with the *S A U C E*
4:38 what we miss?
More sausage fattener
Also reverb on the sub
OTT
OTT
Make it louder! MAXIMIZER!
Step 20: complain that ur better than everyone else and deserve more attention than what you get
Oh Man! I lost it on the peanut butter scene!!
That future diss tho
Overused and its dumb
2:54, that Future joke made me spit my coffee all over my screen.
I’m a producer and I can verify this 100%
lmao love this.

Exactly the same man
“We can pay you with exposure”
-Every ChoosingBeggar.
"can you make me sound like FUTURE?"
*literally sounds like FUTURE*
This video lowkey gives me motivation... Funny asl btw
ADD SOME SOUNDGOODIZER ON A MASTER CHANNEL!!!!
Vlad Mak soundgoodizer > Sausage Fattener
Good Idea..Bro... Izotope - Ozone is also a good option
YESSSSSSSSS YOU GUYS ARE HITTING IT UP! KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!!!!!!
ALSO. MORE BIKES BRO
its so funny that i used to watch this video before i ever knew anything about production and then i happened to stumble into it a few years ago and now its basically my dream
Thanks for the motivation. I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I might try it eventually.
this video deserves more views
Step 17 is 100% true for me
This is cus you dont watch any video lessons. This is your problem , you dont want to learn anything. (sry if late)
(Nearly) Everyone starts with stacking 3 Snares and a kick together in a little pattern...
You forgot: Cracking a shit ton of software
word
"We can pay you in money for say, but we can pay you in EXPOSURE" I feel that, holy shit. Like 50% of people who want me to produce for them are like " I can't pay you, but I'll give you producer credit". Like, fuck off lmao
Superb Work, many thanks for featuring 💚 😄
How to be a skateboarder? Anyone?
+Ben Battista Would love to make that one.
+IFHT would love to see it!
+IFHT do it! just do it!
only problem is that it actually takes talent to film anything good, so they'd have to find people and what not
YEEEESS
3:12 omfg it's DJ Vod Van Cran!!! And also you should make 'busy making guacamole' an actual song
NUGGET WITH THE SAUCE
$auce*
I feel like I'm going to be quoting this video for a really long time haha
can i pay for FL Studio with *exposure?*
Hilarious! Keep it up IFHT! :)
oh god the 'exposure' stuff happens in music too. dealt with that a lot when drawing.
Another great video! Why aren't you at the top of the YT charts?
+Not Debby We need more reaction and gameplay vids
+IFHT Or perhaps more titles such as "13 THINGS ALL PRODUCERS CAN RELATE TO!"
+IFHT you need more clickbait
+IFHT damn that was a hard truthful blow

I'm glad that this video was recommended to me. Which means that it was recommended to many others as well.
Keep it up, nugget with the sauce!
I appreciate your afford for this vid. This #step pics, the voiceover, all the locations. Very cool!!
this is what its been for years now, you hit the mark
You missed all the cracked plugins and samples
Niiico Music and only use presets and samples everyone knows
i cant even find a good crack for nexus or even sylenth1.
pirate the entire program
Playing the mix in car is soo relatable.
use difficult words no-one understands

HAHAHA bro i died when i read this
Why is this me
This is a huge video, well done bro!
Absolutely clever and witty, and you actually DO learn...
You're awesome
i would give you about 1 milion subs...
+Tomas Guci I'd take about 1 million
+Dr X Mmmmm!!!
+Dr X how it fit
+IFHT well played
Toma Guci aND I WOULD GIVE 1 MILLION SUBS AND I WOULD GIVE 1 MILLION MORE
And here I am, having the thought that this is a actual tutorial. Im suffering.
oh but it is
my doggy watched your video and now he downloaded FL studio
My doggy watched ur comment and now he is American DJ
I was expecting an actual tutorial,
But this was way better!!🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂
You forgot the part where your just starting out, so you cant afford FL studio, so you use the trial, but when you go to save your project or export, you get the classic "Access Violation"
please do a how to be a BMXer
YES PLEASE :D
hi. bki2iio9990999999999oi88999
yes!

this thing is real!! your GOOD men! nice humor, many of us think this way
How to be a youtuber
This is the coolest video ever!
Oh god the first 2 steps are the base of my whole carrier
I was looking for real help and this just killed me 😂
Best thing I have watched till date......
How to be a youtube star/ how to be a vlogger lol
NAILED IT!!!!!!!
I followed instructions and I am now a real producer
it's funny how they go through 4 different DAWS. Logic, ableton, fl 12 and pro tools
Gotta do how to be a TH-camr!
I cant even afford to buy Fl Studio how the fuck am i gonna be a producer 😂🔫 fml
Walter Whget the crack ez
Walter White crack it, I've got everything and all presets. I'm also goin to send my promo track off to spinnin, wish me luck
You got a I pad
corey smiley no but i have an iphone 5s
Walter White see if you can load beat maker 2 on it it's an app an get back at me
You forgot a couple things:
Pirate a really expensive software that you don't need when starting out, like Ableton Live 10 Suite (Because you need that Max4Live plugin and because for some reason you can do that...?)
Buy a 7 Petabyte hard drive
Pirate 30,000,000 plugins for that software you bought a couple steps ago
Make 20 seconds of chords then realize you aren't creative enough to make a melody
Watch every Marshmello music video in existence (Make sure to watch "Alone" at least 3 times more than everything else)
Get a DJ mixer
Mix a song
Realize it sounds really bad
Give up on those songs instantly
Keep looking for songs until you find a perfect mix where you all have to do is move the crossfader and it will sound good
Think you are a legend
Look at a couple more DJ's
Realize you are garbage
Make a Soundcloud profile
Try learning instruments again
Give up again
Go make a few more songs
Get a Soundcloud rep
Then go into the studio
Everything beyond that point in your video is spot on
I mean come on!
The kid has a CRT computer screen and $30.000 worth of software.
Of course he's a dam pirate! 👀
Actually just saying, as a producer , most modern producers don’t know how to use that mixer that you see in every studio. . We just bring our own laptops or desktops into the session and never touch the mixer . You don’t need that physical mixer because it’s built in , in most DAW’s.
