Жыл бұрын

I have a paid course for those of you who want to take this whole "making music" thing to the next level. Here's a free sample of the course if you're interested: www.completeproducerpro.com/r...
These are 3 steps/tools I use in my own life to get my motivation back whenever I'm at a low point. I hope they help some of you out as much as they help me.
Feel free to comment with any questions or feedback as I read all the comments!
Thanks so much for watching, cheers!

This has really helped me! im a videogame music arranger and composer. i have autism and i've also been dealing with severe stress and social anxiety all my life that have gotten the best of me and has made it hard for me to continue composing and just showcasing the music in general but this has motivated me to open up about things and get stuff off of my chest to the dev team and continue making music and genuinely enjoying the experience instead of just stressing about it every time.

Great editing. Not sure how you have less than 2k subs but I'm glad I saw this video, and it's all up from here.

This is a great video! Tons of really solid advice here, and believe me, I know that burnout thing well...and yet, I keep giving myself stupid lofty goals...eh, the artist dilemma I suppose!

@CompleteProducer Жыл бұрын

Yeah there's definitely a balance because you do want to keep improving and you don't want to live below your potential. But you don't want to set goals that are so lofty that they prevent you from moving forward at all. Sounds like you're really aware and in a good place, keep going!!

@CompleteProducer Жыл бұрын

Thank you!! I believe it's the Rode VideoMic Pro+. It's the one that turns on when you turn the camera on so you don't forget and miss your audio. I put it on the end of a mic stand and mounted it above my head pointed at my chest. Hope this helps!

I am old and not even good looking do you think I still have a chance to make it in the music industry?

@CompleteProducer Жыл бұрын

I don't think it matter how old you are or what you look like. If you're able to make music that people listen to and enjoy then you have a chance. There are tons of successful artists who have a career and no one knows what they look like at all! There are also older artists who aren't known for being good looking who have careers too. It's more about the music than anything else, and sometimes your looks and age can add to the story and can actually be a plus instead of something you feel is holding you back, it's all about how you frame it. Don't let appearance or age stop you from trying to make the best music you can and put yourself out there. If it doesn't work out at least you tried, which is a lot better than always wondering.

Yeah i think you need to lower the stakes and start small. Just try to come up with a chord progression you like. Set out to work for 10 minutes today or tomorrow and see how that goes!

@@CompleteProducer coming up with an idea is easy for me. hardest part is getting myself to make music (and if i do, enjoy it cause its getting pretty quick to "im so bad, this sounds awful" or "ok this sounds decent, but i dont know what to do now with this loop or idea or segment" i know.. I'll try or maybe after the 18th cause Ive got an important test which I need to pass to get the apprenticeship... I dont know if u care but I'll hope to remember and try this and state how it worked out thx. Sry if my english is hard to read.
