Watch Decap video every day improved my productivity. that’s my tip for yall
Yes couldnt agree more with u sir
Mamang kesbour!?
Fax!
Ada mardial bgst wkwkw
Is this the new slogan?? “make it, mix it, move on” 🔥🔥
Decap's intro absolutely wrecks my speakers man
And it wakes up my dog every single time and that thing just barks and barks when it wakes up. Let's vote for changing the intro. I'll pay money for the change.
Amazing video! A few more tips I picked up along the way that have improved my production a lot.
1: if you find you’ve only been able to make 8 bar loops rather than full songs download an Accapella to help in arrangement
2: recreate entire beats (preferably your favourite beats) to see how the pros do it and what exactly in the beat is grabbing your attention
3: ACTIVELY listen to a new album everyday. Sit and digest an album of any genre and take in what you like and don’t like
4: technique I have I call Frankensteining. I will take drums from one track (lets say Burial) then a melody from one track (lets say flume) then an accapella from another (Katy perry). You come up with this weird mash of styles and I find I’ve found my particular style of production taking things from multiple places and seeing how they sound.
very cool advice thank you :)
I mostly produce trap and drill and just found myself making a whole pop record with live instruments for a friend. Stepping out of your comfort zone it’s a great practice
Back in the early 2000s I’ve got my foot in the music business, it was tough and nothing came easy to me. Because of someone else failure to deliver a job, no one available and my persistence I got my chance. The challenge was (and this came from the A&R of the label ...himself !!) “ daniel write me the hit” ... omg !
I stayed all night writing and producing the demo, sent the track later over those old internet boxes and praying I was in. Finally I was accepted and the song even title the album.
Once they accepted me in the team the new challenge was: “Daniel I see you EVERY DAY at 6pm with a new song” that was the best school I ever had in my career, to work hard, deliver and challenge myself, my talent and also my uninspired days to create and produce like a pro. Today my daughter is following my steps and I hope she uses my story to make hers more pleasurable and productive
This advice is so spot on!! I think everyone needs to remember that their songs won't progress linearly either. Think of a jagged graph going up.. You're going to have bangers and you're going to have subpar beats, but each one is teaching you something!
Making a track every day was literally my new year’s resolution for 2021 but then guess what - life happened. I do make music every week though. Every day is a really tough call when you have a day job.
I think that’s the single best advice I’ve heard. Personally that’s what I do is make a beat every day. I just find a drum break to chop, then on the spot dig through samples and make the rest of the beat, and then post it on Instagram. As I go through the older posts I can see my progression. It’s fun.
Keeping tabs on our progress is key. Every beat I finish goes on my SoundCloud even if I don’t like it. Can scroll back and see how things are progressing
Make it, Mix it down, Move on!! 🔥🔥
Somehow when he says it, I believe him. Subscribed.
Decap, you are a constant source of inspiration to me. I feel like you are my internet-mentor for producing. Thank you buddy.
Honestly these kind of videos are enough for me to get me motivated. Just the fact that this beast of a producer is willing to share his knowledge with us is kinda touching.
That's really helpful! Thank you!
1. Make it
2. Mix it down
3. Move on
that's dope lol the three Ms
Man this channel is a straight gem!!! 💎🙏🏼💚
Decap is the producer of the people bro. goated.
Waiting for Decap country album!
💯💯 always grateful for your content 🙏🏽
I went from dancing to your beats and in 2016 to actually making beats in ‘17..Still today. One of the producers that inspired me
Needed to hear this today.
I recently just finished my first 100 days in a row since you mentioned something similar to this back in December. I grew and learned SO much and now I am at a point where starting a song is so automatic. Ideas flow out so quickly and I'm able to throw the sounds I want from my head to my DAW. And now I've been editing videos going through the process and throwing them out there! There are so many tracks that I want to go back to and finish up. This project as a whole yields so much in regards to the amount content/ideas that you can use, but the growth that you experience both as a producer and person is even more incredible. Thank you for your wisdom!
"Creativity is infinite" Facts...I'll add that consistency is 🔑.
Real Wisdom 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks so much Decap, I’ll do this. I NEED to do this!
thank you, just thank you. You are huge
Never heard something more motivational
first tip is so good i have been doing it for weeks and i can feel the improvement
I went through a phase of something similar before I found your channel. Recording live Techno/ Experimental with a bit of eurorack, synth drum machine, efx, used to record around 30 min jams, just noodling about, but recorded everything. My circumstances then changed I had to take a job working 10-12hrs a day, lost the routine of recording, but now, with the limited time, I’m going through 40hrs or so of jams from that period and doing nothing else but sorting, mixing down, saving tracks and loops. Just ‘getting on with it’ works, for sure. Great words Decap, respect.
Half way through the video... but co-signing 💯 so far.
I’ve been doing this technique for the past 2 months and change. Creating the best music I’ve ever done. Finally happy with my beats.
Wrapping them up and then on with the next.
The 3Ms is a great label for this philosophy.
This technique of doing dailies was made famous by Beeple (Mike Winkleman, a 3D artist). That dude is the most consistent creator of our generation, and his work just sold for 70 million. Which to me shows that quantity will always defeat quality....because quality generally rises over more releases.
Great video
I got some tips to add .. if you ever do a part 2 ..when I get in a jam and can't make melodies .. I instantly forget about making a full track and I just do sound design.. ill pull open a soft synth and start layering synth sounds then export for one shots.. also if you just lay down one not on the 1 beat ..sometimes I'll just have it go every new bar sometimes just 16th notes .. and build a drum rhythm around something that simple..
Everything you said I've been doing, crazy how your video confirms what I've been doing...Subed because of the kindred spirit...like minds👍🏾
Just what I needed to hear this morning 🙏😊
Love this so much. Well said bro 💯
Love this advice
Thanks Decap. Needed this.
Thanks men. Awesome words. Good vibes 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hell yeah. I'm gonna do this with my MPK mini in MPC beats for the next month at least. Only 4-8 bars a day, anything else is a bonus. I'm still a beginner so I quite like the comfort of a 'limited' DAW and find I'm less overwhelmed by choice.
There are no lies detected in this video.
This is really really good advice, this is exactly what I’m trying to do, switching things up.
Boi. Solid advice.
thanks for this
Needed to hear this. Thank you for the value you providing. 🙏❤️
Great stuff
thank you
This helped me kill beat block. This just make stuff everyday and don’t worry about being perfect or making a “banger” everytime
Wow this is seriously good advice. decap you are so underrated how do you only have 43k subs?
was doing this a few weeks ago, really helped me getting a little better writing chords.
That was so helpful. I'll try and inform to people. Thank you DECAP !🙏
I love this guy, super inspirational man!!!
Great!
Stop judging, start creating! Awesome advice
I have to much love for this man
Thank you brother 👊🏾💥💚🏆I was actually wondering this🤔#Thanks
Word 🔥
I get like that a lot get beat block and just stare at the mpc . And then I do this advice yes it’s true I don’t feel it I just do anything but then I notice too my beat gets better. So I agree
This is true with the MMM ... i get beat block ... i do the MMM for 3 days and i now have a full beat i like .... decap i subs good stuff
Decap bro, man you dope 💯
That’s something I have been doing for quite sometimes now and I’m probably close to having about 500 or more songs
Thx preacher I needed that one
Needed to hear this more than u know brother!
Salute to you bro. Inspiring as always. Hoping we can collab in the future. 🙌🏾
Been in a rut for months now, gonna try making something tomorrow and not immediately deleting it
You are amazing brother
MMM= Michael Myers Mask of success.
Decap would be the perfect guy to start a music production podcast
Great advice, is what i'm starting trying to do.
THIS IS IT
keep revisiting your videos. As I subbed, liked, and went to comment, you referenced MMM FOOD. I was like HAIL Ya! Great vids and advice!
@Decap Can u give some tips for Mixing beats correctly to prepare for mastering
If I get blocked, I start with a drone. But usually if I start with a drum loop, then play the bass or 808, then the floodgates open. Then, I’ll go back and change the drums.
The struggle of doing sound design and making the sounds that fit my track. Also trying to find that main sound or bass that the whole song revolves around. That’s the hard part in my eyes.
incredible!
I can't understand how it can be difficult for people to start a new idea. Although they might say the same about me because I struggle to finish them haha. Is that because I've practiced (starting songs) so many times that it's extremely easy for me now to start a pretty decent idea? Is it because I haven't finished 80% of them that I struggle with finishing them the most? If it works like a muscle you train.. that'd make sense... Ok this is something to think about...and the ableton project is loaded, so, see you later. thanks for the video! Gonna train myself to finish songs :). Gotta focus on that.
Not finishing projects is a common thing among all artists of all sorts
Just don't drool on it too much
Just make stuff mix and move on.
@@Phoenix-xm7fn That's the spirit.I guess I have to train my brain and overcome the stupid idea that all the songs I make have to be absolutely great songs or I should just discard them otherwise...Even the best artist have mediocre songs and even bad songs.
MMM sick
Oh man your putting new life back into old heads (me I'm old heads) return of the old heads mmm
👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
I cook up beats like Mmm yummy, Make it,mix it down, Move on
🙌🙌🙌MMM
Great advice! I'm trying to finish all ideas I start which takes time. But maybe this skill of expressing your thoughts into a musical idea is what I need atm. Should the idea consist of break and drop only or it should be also arranged? (like a full song)
How do you get better at sound design?
Thanks for the food though
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Mmm beats
Like the saying goes “You are your biggest critic”
Mmmmmm... this video tasty💪🏻💎
M.M.M... aka DeCap
Mmm Technic
am i wasting time though if i spend hours synthesising sounds every day often similar sounds? im relatively experienced been producing for aroudn 3 years now, just curious about this because i feel like i often make alot of tracks but feel like im wasting time with probably around 400 unfinished projects and like an 808 i spent 2-3 hours synthesising mixing and writing lines for ect;
Dude as long as you're saving the files, you're good. It will fit somewhere at some point lol
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Does “make music every day” mean complete a full song every day? Or just a loop/drop/etc?
Whatever you come up with is okay
yessir
can u give us a tip to get onto SPLICE faster. been producing for over a dozen years n these mf wont respond to my emails about getting packs on the platform lol halp fam.
Make it, mix it, then move on as in put it out or just throw it away
Triple m technique
Yo decap what is your discord link? The one in your description is expired!
it worked for me 🤷♂️
Wow 0 dislikes 😮
is it only me or every new video has more distorted and saturated intro track?
Nothing new what he’s saying. In order to get better at anything you must practice. It’s science. I have a video on my TH-cam about the 4 levels of mastery and how to master any skill.
I actually have a daily beatmaking reminder set. What he’s saying isn’t new, but hopefully if you’re new, you will listen to his foundational “wisdom” and just make it happen.
I would also add, if you’re stuck, go back to why you are making music. For me, it’s not about klout. It’s about being able to make a living, even during a pandemic. And I have been able to... why? Because practice makes better and my why for doing music is to do it until I die because music is like breathing for me.
Good success to you in your music journey! Just play. Quantity over quality when you’re starting is okay because eventually, if you are consistent, you will start to have the quality and understand how to be more efficient in your workflow. :)
