Thank you for joining me in this wild journey - I cannot express how much I enjoyed making this video for you. If you are not subscribed - then you should do that :) Episode 2 comes out Monday 9am CST January 15!
I must of subscribed a while ago but sort of lost touch with the creative stream and space .. felt like some deeper work within me had to take place .. prep work ? Lol … anyways .. felt randomly drawn to click on the notification and see where your coming from - less than two minutes in and I’m stoked to bear witness with your SOURCE of passion and the intimate posture your setting your sails in ! Feel like theres an incredible shift taking place and a deeper calling for us to step-in ..beyond the hustle and bustle and anxious realm of “ life as we’ve known it “ and to really tend to the deeper cry of our heart .. and to truly express from a newfound awe and wonder ! Healing and restoration is the wavelength our nation and the world needs - doom and gloom and the shallow survival mode will fall away and be exposed as dynamic heavenly expression RISE UP ! Releasing from the kingdom that’s dwelling within ! … now we get to learn how to TUNE-IN and draw from that deeper well - a place of restful power , a place of true delight .. expression that breaks the mould and releases paradoxical reality that shines beyond any temporal limitation ! We’re already seated on the heavenly side of any perceived contradiction - may we be more expectant and available than we’ve ever been .. for such a time as this ! God bless you bro - you’ve got my attention 🙏🏼📣
Mate, next time you feel bored editing music 😴 remember me as I do a 12hr night shift in a factory making medical filters 😂 Come sit on the production line with me.. I'll show you boring 😂 Fortunately I have content like yours to keep me sane teaching me loads!!! Ace videos man!! I'm learning loads!! Very grateful for all your efforts. Thank you 🙏
Your tutorial on making midi strings sound real with Native Instruments helped me write and produce an original song for me and my wife-to-be’s first dance ❤. I’m here for the journey brother
Hey Nathan, just wanted to say thanks for posting this. Its so real, no bs. I feel like the process of makig music nowadays has been sugar coated by tiktok in terms of 30 second clips that never really show the hard, boring but necessary stuff needed to make hit records. Excited to see where this series goes :)
hey! I love the raw, authentic feel of this video. you’re showing everything about the process, which not only makes it valuable in itself but also serves as a great guide for others trying to do what you do! keep paving the way.
this series is so important for noobies like me, I'm learning a lot just to watch you working. I'm a songwriter and a producer in progress trying to break the loop on mix tutorials thanks to you.
You're an amazing producer bro! Your string arrangements are just so beautiful and cinematic. What your doing is already helping me and I'm taking notes! Can't wait for week two, and for the album drop!!!
Aw man thanks so much!! Appreciate it!! String writing is my ABSOLUTE fave. Week 2 is gonna be insane... the work today is already 10x more fun than all of last week combined.
Love the backstories on the Doxology album. Nice to see how melodic patterns are thematically implemented throughout. That’s really clever - and emotionally connected.
Bought the producer accelerator course and been slowing making my way through, back in the day I actually made a video every week for a year too! Way different material at the time, but I respect how ambitious of an undertaking you're taking on. Super stoked to follow your progress and see how the series develops and evolves, I've definitely learned a lot from your course and all your videos. Cheers!
I love how you put in all these little personal bits. Makes this feel like a video journal and more real. It brings us into the mind of a full-time producer. Looking forward to next week!
I think its cool your mainly doing this for your babies My granddaughter comes over and says paw paw lets make a song, and though im nowhere near the songwriter , producer or engineer, basically ground level its fun to just create. She teaches me to just have fun with it and shes only 6. Our first song was called sleepover cause she was having her first sleepover with her friend. I let her make the choices and i tried to arange it the best i could. No matter it was fun and time well spent. Thx for doing this 👍😎
I wanted to let you know because you said this in the beginning of the video that you aren’t sure that anyone will watch this and I can’t describe the amount of excitement I had when I got the email saying you were doing this. I hope this changes my LIFE and my path cuz I’m so tired of struggling. I lost my uncle he was a producer/ musician and his music was never heard by me or really anyone besides family passively listening and I can’t let this continue in my family and 11 year old me will thank me when I get to where I’m going. I don’t want to pass without people hearing what I’ve made. It’s unfair to start this that people would love to witness and just throw it away. So thank you for this video series I’m REALLY PUMPED!
I love this weekly series. I love this weekly series. I love this weekly series. I love this weekly series. I love this weekly series. I love this weekly series. Thank you Nathan
at first i make music to share to people how great music can be but this episode made me changed my view of making music, tell people who i am and help them express their thoughts through mine. Thank you Nathan. You influenced me a lot.
Also can I let you know that Jesus is a healer and we can even believe for and respect healing today! The doctors told me I wouldn't even be born, and yet I am here by the grace of God. I hope you'll believe in that same healing power for your daughter :)
Hey Nathan! I knew when I saw your last video talking about doing this every week that you were gonna knock it out of the park and here we are! End of last year I'd already decided to keep pushing forward writing, recording, and most importantly releasing music this year and you've already given me more inspiration to do it. I'm happy you are getting to finally do what you should be doing with your TH-cam channel and just like PA it's going to help a lot of songwriters. I hope everything went great with your daughters surgery today my friend. 🙏
with this video, I can clearly see how next level you are. how advanced musically and all the theory. wow, just wow. thank you for the video. this is truly what I need to move forward.
This is the greatest idea. Like watching a customized movie to my favorite topic. Documentary of daily life of music producer. I would not mind watching this for 10 hours. Easy! Thank you so much! Amazing stuff!
Wow. This is definitely the most honest and personal video about music production. You’re such a great musician. Thank you for sharing your workflow and giving your valuable time to produce this video!
I am so excited for this series. I've been getting into production seriously over the last year (really just a guitar player for a few years prior to this). This kind of in depth, long form content that shows all of the steps and what I'm actually getting into is incredibly valuable. Thank you!
This is awesome. I will be watching all of these. Seriously though I am trying to get better at production and am a logic user so this is very helpful!
I’m loving this content. Thankful to see more behind the scenes and for your vulnerability. See you in the PA community! I’ve been a lurking member lacking in drive to get started. Seeing this is really motivating and inspiring. Thanks NJL!
Wow - stoked to hear more of your heart and resonate ! really feeling the Lord highlighting “ the key of David” and the blessing of heart sensitivity but also the bold focus of a warrior ! This is the realm that I believe men need to witness today ! I feel like for generations in our culture .. those who are sensitive hearted have been made to believe they have to suppress their genuine heart expression and have struggled to see the honor and passion we’re wired for as men . “ sensitivity “ has been made out to be a weakness , but there’s a wholeness and terms of security that runs far deeper than surface appeal . Feel like the Lord has been raising up a massive army that’s been largely hidden , and a changing of the guard taking place ! - elevating those to hold positions based on their honor , and the value system of their heart. ⬆️🔑
Thanks for sharing your journey. This is a wonderful milestone to experience and be a part of. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the unfoldment. Keep being amazing brother!
Hi Nathan, this video was so cool, and I'm super excited for all that's to come with this docu project. I'm working solo on a big project and I have to fight fears that I can't do it, and it's too big for me - you often help to give me encouragement, and ideas and tips/ techniques to help me along, so thank you, I very much appreciate it. We will remember Ruby in our prayers tomorrow xx
Dude, for those of us who are struggling or newer to the production side of songwriting, I think your content is going to be invaluable. Thank you for your willingness to share all of this!
dude I've been watching your videos for last 2 years (maybe more) and I really enjoyed them always, but I just wanted to say that if it's fun to you to sing, sing some songs. your voice is actually pretty cool. ❤
Off to a good start, Nathan. Fascinating and inspiring to follow your journey throughout this year. I bet this series will become an invaluable document in the long run... Marathon pun intended :-)
@NathanJamesLarsen I have been lurking around in the background...listening and following along. Been back to live gigs and writing new music. Loving the new stuff you are putting out there. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Love your work so much, you are inspiring me a lot to make my own songs and motivate me to get better at what i am doing. Really appreciate this series and to have the privilege to see that detailed into the life of a professional producer. Keep it up and i wish you all the best for 2024 ❤️💪

I love how he talks about his kids and cares for them you can tell he loves them a lot and wants them to be happy. 😁

Low key the most inspiring music production video on TH-cam! so real and relatable!
Aww man thank you so much

Love this comment - thank you!
this series is so important for noobies like me, I'm learning a lot just to watch you working. I'm a songwriter and a producer in progress trying to break the loop on mix tutorials thanks to you.
God level composition and true passion brought out those tears ❤🤍💙🦋🐦
Great job, lifting up Ruby in prayer for her procedure. 🙏
Thanks so much... means a lot. Tomorrow's going to be an emotional day.
You're an amazing producer bro! Your string arrangements are just so beautiful and cinematic. What your doing is already helping me and I'm taking notes! Can't wait for week two, and for the album drop!!!
Aw man thanks so much!! Appreciate it!! String writing is my ABSOLUTE fave. Week 2 is gonna be insane... the work today is already 10x more fun than all of last week combined.
You're a great musician and a great teacher, Nathan! Thanks!
Love the backstories on the Doxology album. Nice to see how melodic patterns are thematically implemented throughout. That’s really clever - and emotionally connected.
Thanks for sayin' so! I definitely like "giving things thought" on stuff like this so things are really "on purpose"
Love the hymn project idea. Reminds me of Mendelssohn's use of A Might Fortress woven through his Reformation Symphony
You're doing the right thing! Keep it up, we believe in you!
Love the journey…singing…overcome with emotion…then gotta fix the timing…frustration…then gotta try to finish task at hand…so real. I can relate!
That bass note bounce, flip, distortion and tremelo was SO GOOD!!! Awesome work Nathan - love learning from you in this new way!
I love these series, because as an artist who loves to be alone just with music and instruments, it feels better to showcase and open up ourselves
Back at it baby! Can’t wait to follow along on this journey with you 🎉
I love the aesthetic of your videos and I especially love your tutorials. keep up the good work!
Love the hymns Nathan!
really pleasurable to watch/listen to you work !
This series will go down as the best series on music production on TH-cam this year, at least to me personally.
I mean that'd be sick.
The change to epic sounding I'm, "It's time to fight", is really awesome.
Bought the producer accelerator course and been slowing making my way through, back in the day I actually made a video every week for a year too!

This sounds so interesting! I'm so anxious to see and learn more about your workflow!
Awesome. Thanks... Im writing a Musical and will be recording all my songs soon. Learning orchestral cinematic parts is my newest challenge.

As an aspiring composer myself, this start of your creative journey was very insightful. Thank you and can’t wait to see next week. Cheers!

Thank You

Love that - thanks so much for watching and I hope it'll be inspiring and helpful!
Great content, very nice to experience things that are less produced “shiny” videos that make things seem perfect and easy
This is literaly everything i always wanted.. like a studio and lofe diary :))
I can already tell I'm gonna like this series 😀
dude I've been watching your videos for last 2 years (maybe more) and I really enjoyed them always, but I just wanted to say that if it's fun to you to sing, sing some songs. your voice is actually pretty cool. ❤
At 40:37 when you started singing in frustration I felt that at a metaphysical level
Hahahaha
For someone trying to go full-time music this year, this kind of inspired me that it is possible. Thanks so much, loved the songs and the video!
Commitment and consistency wins.
900th Like! You're welcome & bravo!
As someone who can't put together a single track after years of trying--I'll have plenty of fun watching this every day at work haha great stuff!
I'll watch all weeks :) keep going, thank you!
What a great voice and composition. I enjoy this new journey. Thanks for sharing !
Going to stick to this series!!! I have the same mentality for what i want to accomplish in 2024!
hey man, i dont speak for eveyone but im gonna set a new years resolution to follow this journey as long as i practically can every week
Off to a good start, Nathan. Fascinating and inspiring to follow your journey throughout this year. I bet this series will become an invaluable document in the long run... Marathon pun intended :-)
Loving this, Nathan! Prayers for your daughter's surgery!
Good to see you Ray! Thanks a bunch - tomorrow is gonna be an emotional day.

Hip Hoppidie Snare Doodle
This was very inspiring 🔥 Will definitely tune in every week!
bro said hes not getting sentimental while the most sentimental music imaginable is playing haha
Good luck. I released 86 songs last year and some did ok some sank without a trace. I didn’t document it. Maybe I will this year.
