🙌🙌🙌. You're spot on in this. When I feel I have all the time in the world to work on something I'll tend to overthink to the point where I never make it past the 2nd chord. When I'm under pressure and have to get something out in a hurry to meet a deadline I impress my self EVERYTIME! 99% of my best work has came from those moments where I didn't have the luxury of time. Moving forward is key! Submitting to the process is key! And that is indeed much easier said than done... especially in todays recording climate where there's an endless amount of options.
Thanks for checking out the channel. Thanks for sharing some of your experience. I’m trying to build an online community that’s focused on creativity and just having fun.
I’ve had times when writing some music where I think it sounds so boring at first. But I push through and keep adding another simple thing here and there. Then when I finally play it back it sounds super complicated and amazing. But it’s really the little things added together that come together as a whole at the end. And man the vibe of listening back to it after hours of working is unbeatable. Great video!
It’s too easy to convince yourself an idea isn’t good enough before the seeds even had time to germinate. Just remember to have fun and it’ll all work out. Thanks for checking out the channel.
Puttin' in my 'inspiration' playlist. Great stuff man, gonna do next one in similar fashion. No more overthinking. Also KK S88 and Cubase? YES PLEASE! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for checking out the channel. Nothing makes me happier than to see people getting inspired to create. I’ve been dabbling with pro tools and am ready to move back to Cubase.
Glad to hear it helped. My goal is to try to demystify creativity and if I’m really lucky, inspire others to create. Thanks for checking out the channel.
Having fun is the best advice. Sometimes making something silly gets those creative juices going. I'm no expert but for me I have found keeping an idea notebook really helps. Have an idea? Get it in the notebook or recording app before it's gone. If the idea or framework is captured it is easier to come back to and iterate on across multiple sessions.
You missed a trick by using a click at the beginning. You could have hid the grid instead and made a best-effort run-through with the shaker so you had the tug & pull of human time. God song idea though
Thanks for checking out the channel. For my workflow, abiding to a reliable grid saves a lot of headache. I keep the drum/percussion quantization pretty lax to achieve that push and pull though!
"the more you seek perfection, the more it will elude you" - true statement homie
If you want to assign expectations to a part of the creative process, aim it at just trying to have fun.

Hey what kind of acoustic guitar is that?
It’s a Fender PM-2. They’re made overseas but constructed of all hardwoods. Great guitars for the price.
Nice vid!
