I think KSHMR said this once: The very small things and habits you have when you produce all add up to your signature sound. For example.... do you stick a kick on the end of your drop? Do you compress your synths in a bus? Do you tend to stutter your melodies a lot? Do you lowpass your bass in the intro? Do you add a small boost at 1K while eqing your vocals? In my opinion, I think very small things like this are what makes us all different from each other. 😃
This is good advice for any musician. I played 6 string guitar for 10 years! I was still garbage. I picked up a standard 4 string bass and I've been tearing it up. My music is a part of me. Its crucial that I have music in my life.
Heh, my mom also played cumbia growing up! I used to not think much of it as a kid, but nowadays I go days with Los Angeles Azules or Sonora Dinamita on repeat 😆
when i was a kid, my parents had cds with eurodance music and later i was exposed to latin/romanian house music (inna, mr saxobeat, etc) but I liked the beat and synth more than the vocals. when i discovered SHM's song greyhound i fell in love. from then i never went back from edm!
@@tyblean6915 I've been releasing singles, had that same idea for longer projects. Each albums going to have it's own sort of sound vs constant singles never knowing what to expect. It's hard to narrow down an audience with such a wide variety of music
I come from screamo hardcore bands and fell in love with Dnb and all edm ...so now I don't listen to anything but my own music and I love it ,I do it to stay original as much as possible
#2 is a really good tip, a few months ago I switched from progressive house to trap, because I really felt really limited in that style and now I'm full of fresh ideas for new tracks
Inspiring man. I was always on the fence between genres, interesting to know these artists indirectly forged their own genres by doing their own thing.
I am an indie guitar singer songwriter who plays jazz saxophone and is studying classical violin and likes to sing neo soul/rnb. When I’m writing there is rarely some music to reference to see if I’m doing it right so you just have to be confident enough to lose sight of the shore and build an island.
Wow, you are so awesome. I saw your video's about experience from another producers, but I stuck with finding my own sound. I am afraid, because I sometimes use mainstream samples like the flanger uplifter, VES2 Impact 34 and stuff.. Now the key is just: *combine*, thank you for giving me so much inspiration.
I once made a base(did more stuff before that) just for fun and a famous DJ here in spain liked it :) then I stopped doing more stuff. Maybe I should go back to find my sound!
what can i do to transfer the old genre to the new one, everythings been done, progressive house to deep house, well thats essentially future house. what about progressive to trap, well that's essentially future bass.
The last one is working for me 😋 to be honest producing is really just a really cool and creative way for me to get my feeling and ideas into reality . so having fun is supposed to cover the whole process of making my track unique , that when I listen to it I should be like "yeeah this is is good" or "I like that a lot" ... because the more I feel like the track is going were I feel it should then I'm happy . thank you for the great advice ma man ✌👦
Favorite tip: to have fun! The moment i have fun and dont give a. f*** about what anybody think is when i will find my sound and i will have fun making music😍
Don't know you but I love you, bro. Thanks for all the help. - I just started getting into this producing thing and finally made my first song I'm really proud of. If you ever even see this and you're curious, I go by Local 528 on soundcloud. The song I'm talking about is called 528 Love. Thanks again!
Hey man really really helpful thank you so much ive always been stressing on how many views and like that i need instead of really thinking about if i liked what i was hearing
Just be you and do what you like. Too many of us are worried that we are not going to fit in, because we don't sound like everybody else. I don't want to sound like anybody else. I want to sound like me...SBN
I have an issue with this subject because I'm into every music genre. My main thing is that my music will have lyrics, not just instrumental. But that's it. I listen to house, rap, pop, indie, country, rap.... idek what i want to make, it's overwehlming to commit to one.
why don't we never see your analog synth on video ? that's the kind of tool that made my sound me a few years back ; mixing and EQing analog is very different from plug, it could do a good video series :) cheers from france :)

I know it is a bit random but where should hi hats and cymbals be in the stereo field?
Hey Zen, what´s the outro song? Shazam doens´t get it
Rudelies Falling Remix/Reboot
If they aren't hitting with the kick you can pan them and make them a bit wide.
Thank You! :)

VZ Matthews Exactly.
KSHMR knows ✌
Everything you said has nothing to do with finding your own sound 😄
Brahhh... U made me rethink my production life choices lol
you don't find your sound
your sound finds you
Deep...
in soviet russia only
Sweet old meme lol
dats deep..
In mother russia dragon does not breath fire, fire breaths dragon.
I found my sound, it was hidden behind the couch.
I know brother we had difficulty with that.
😂😂On point 😂😂
It was hiding in clutter... Well, you gotta rearrange things up and find it out...
Always the fucking couch
Was it a fart?

awesome story. Mines was Darude Sandstorm and cumbers jaja
Sandstorm = TUNE!!!!! :-)
wow you put my story to shame :(
Sweet old meme same stuff with me I started out listening to death metal but make future bass so I can have a very unique variety of sounds
i love every genre and this puts me in a shitty situation as a producer :/
This !!!!
Facts
ShuffleZombie13 i have an idea; make every album one specific genre.
Take all the up thumbs

Love you dude! Your advice always gets me motivated to produce in the mornings.
Nice! You clarified this out really well
*Has been listening to hardstyle since fifth grade* Go back to listening to the music you listened to in high school.
My mom played Richie Blackmore when I was in the womb and when I was born. He's my favorite

progressive house to deep house, well thats essentially future house.

why are your videos so damn good
bass house was made in the uk and it was called bassline in the early 2000s
I have an issue with this subject because I'm into every music genre. My main thing is that my music will have lyrics, not just instrumental. But that's it. I listen to house, rap, pop, indie, country, rap.... idek what i want to make, it's overwehlming to commit to one.
"Go back to what you listened to in highschool" Thats was during the dubstep boom haha!
i wanna know how to get personally mentored by Zen?????
"Listen to what you listened at high school"

Having fun is a good point but difficult to achieve as a new producer if not many people listen to your music.
love this vid :) thank you
I'm just confused on what to make because I like a lot
Same lol Like ever genre! What I have been doing is just picking a genre and then producing and producing until I feel I have nailed it
