Also, the blacksmith didn't just make the sculpture in minutes. It probably took him a lifetime and you were just witnessing the results of his hard work
@@Projektor_music Yeah, I meant it took him a lifetime of practice to get to the level where he can make something good in a few minutes. Like you said, we don't see the hard work behind the artist. We just witness the final products.
Ive been a musician for almost 40 years, and I realise everyday how little I understand about the many forms and ways of expression we call music. It is humbling, and sometimes overwhelming. But since our first punk band when i was 12 ive viewed it as a learning path. You are maybe a noob once, when you start to learn, anything you have passion you are learning. to un noob anyone, just touch the instrument you are learning, or open the software. Congrats Your'e on your way.
Good message!! I think that many try to imitate known artists, understandable, has been done for ever, people picking up an instrument or forming a band because they been on a concert or heard a song that changed everything. I had those moments too but everytime I tried to imitate someone I totally failed as I did simply not know what the other artist been doing or using. These days youtube can help, yes but also many use it to propagate techniques of others to imitate, I stopped doing that and even watching those kind of channels. I found my own way. Learned a huge load just by doing and streaming in the process.
Even so called child prodigy's practiced day in day out....Practice makes perfect and a lot of times just learning without teachers can be key. So many talented people of all walks just went their own way.
Great video! You definitely made me think about the way I approach it when asking for help or feedback. I really don't need to feel that nervousness, doubt or sometimes even shame (for whatever reason, only my brain knows and it often doesn't even divulge that information to me). I need to take a deep breath and will try & work on these aspects of myself.
Great video bro. My best advice to new comers is really try to have fun whilst producing... Don't take things so seriously and have as much fun as possible :)
Ive been following you for quite abit of time despite not really producing psytrance or listening to it. It is cousins to stuff i do listen to like prog trance (mostly vibrasphere lol). Just nice to hangout with someone who seems to understand. Appreciate you. (1234 - Broda / my latest release)
I find it extremely frustrating to get my production on a certain level. Psy is such a technical music style. In house when I hash some stuff together on a channel or 10 I have a decent track haha. I agree on astrix. If you listen to his first tracks, be on that level. There is one thing you havent mentioned. Its with sounddesign. Sometimes i spend half an hour with a patch and effects and dont get it working and sometimes i just try something and its instantly good. When i would release a track, you’d only see the last. A lot of production time is ‘lost’ on noodling, failure and other shit. Trying to love that is a great place to be in.
I did mention that last bit when talking about astrix. in that you only hear the ideas that you like. I don't think it matters how long it takes to get an idea into the DAW for it to be good or not, just select the ideas that are good independantly on how you got there...
@ Agreed, but you could easily forget your favorite artists make terrible tracks and sounds as well, make the wrong mixing choices, are frustrated just the same. Experience just makes it easier to navigate and will improve choices a bit.
even thou ive been signed i still feel like a Noob at times hahahaha! for me its just getting faster to problem solve and write in general! I'm still learning with every track i make
I try to make psytrance and Bass& Kick is obviously the basis of the overall sound. But always when I watch TH-cam Videos on creating your own Bass patch and aligning it perfectly to the kick phase, I really feel like I have hit the ceiling and can't move past that point in my production process. In this videos usually producers explain the process of creating one bass note in so many steps, that the video lasts about 1 hour and it seems kind of impossible for me to do it and I often don't even hear the results they are talking about. I do have good equipment but the changes they make in the milliseconds of a phase showing it on oscilloscopes I just can't hear, but everyone is talking about it and it seems to be necessary to sound good on all systems. So basically, I can throw away all my bass presets and samples because they all don't fit that perfect wave requirements. I've really tried many times to learn and understand it but that topic specifically makes me feel like a noob and I get a level of frustration that makes me want to quit making music at all.
Given that the tutorials all use some tool like psyscope. I do think it's OK to assume some of the tutorial makers don't hear a difference either. I know for a long time I was part of them, but now I can hear it, it just takes time and a lot of ear training! Till then just rely on knowledge and the tools available to get it done & you will be OK!

it took him minutes to make one of those little things... but yeah he has the experience to make that happen...

I had to screenshot this one 😅
I like the talk about mindset. Nice little changeup to the technical aspects of production
Thanks Yeah I think sometimes it's important to talk about this side too

practice makes progress yea
love your videos man
You did a really good job talking about the topic. Super enjoyable and informative
Thanks!
thanks
Damn, Astrix's graveyard must be killer. 😎 Awesome video... some good inspiration for us

U are very damn good at making videos like this one :>
Thanks!

it just experience at the end of the day! the more hours the easier and better it gets and it takes times to train your ear!

Hey Projektor, do you have any plans to release a masterclass aimed towards night-time psytrance? Such as forest and whatnot?
Great vid as usual ✌🏽
Thanks. It's not something I have too much experience with to be honest. Maybe ask Mute Productions :)
