It’s because it’s not a simple trick that you can use to create an original sound. People too lazy for this answer but ironically it’s the best way to go about it and it is common sense. I believe if we weren’t born in a world that dumbs down one’s thinking through things like TikTok and social expectations then everyone else would also make music like him. Its common sense to do it this way but then the outside world will get you thinking you gotta do it some other way.

Lately I feel so depressed and overhelmed, because I'm still not good enough at producing, but at the same time I have less and less time. These feelings have intensified in recent months to the point where I have become filled with an aversion to music. You reminded me of the beauty of it and pushed me to make music my life's passion again. Not my life as a slave to the music industry. Thank you

comparison is the thief of joy..also clout chasing..i know all the info and learning to speak the way you want to musically is slow, but its just what youre trying to get out of it. Enjoy the process and just make it a hobby and have other hobbies to compliment it if youre not getting results. Its your life, and the music is for you and an expression of you, no one else..

thank you man , i love you ... u sit there perhaps a million miles away and u solved my absolute beast of a struggle with just 2 of your transcending videos . U dont know me and i just got to know u this minute but fuck bro , i feel like im at the perfect path , at the perfect life in time and i feel that after a long long time . Ive shed tears listening to my idols (flume and skrill ) ive shed tears listening to my own stuff at times and thats the feeling i live for , those times when u know exactly what they or u did sounds so blissful to your soul that nothing in the world could replace the feeling . The times are crazy , Most just love what they have been fed for years , maybe one day as an artist you create insanity in its own shape , maybe no one understands what u were trying to portray but maybe give it some time and the future would sound exactly like what u made in the past . The concept of music is limitless and we dont need no NZT , just keep cookin some music .

Fiko you are a true genuine guy. Love it. I do music for me myself and I. I don't give a shit on how the Industrie works. I was a dj for almost 30 years and when I started spinning records we dj's aimed for originality. We learned to get the own style. And we rocked the crowed with our style with our flawour of music. Nowadays music or musicians have lost this credo... I produce music since 3 years now. I have one release. If I will have further releases? I don't give a shit on that. I got a passion and that's the important thing. For all out there... If you do music learn to get better in what you do and do it with gun and love and passion. Amen

I have sometimes heard "you need to cut the highs" or sonething. Later i realised that i actually love that highs and rather like to cut that high mids instead to remove harshness... i think it all depends what do you really love and not just copy because others say you this. You have tl find your taste first and this goes mostly with experimenting and being honest to yourself. Only because someone else doesnt like that highs in the sound does not mean that you also always have to cut them. Analyse your own sound and decide for yourself. And also by trying out diffrent things.. and later analysing your own tracks and see what and why do you like this slund and later remembering how and what you did. And later perfecting it as soon as you learn the details or also called sattle diffrences. And also of corse you have to know what type of style do you like and what kind of mood or vibe and how to create it. Also of corse the mood in the track is defined or created by how you feel. Its just a reflection of yourself how you think and feel.

About 5 years ago I really started to dedicate myself to music. Even tho I have been playing for a long time I had never really produced anything of my own. So, I asked a producer friend to help me with some plug-ins. I thought I needed a lot. Low and behold he given me free copies of all the Fab filter suite, all the other trendy plug-ins at the time, plus the full iZotope Ozone suite, Nectar, Serum, absolutely everything, legit and 100% free. After about a year I deleted ALL 500 plug-ins. Then, I started from scratch with "only" what's available in Logic Pro (hint : it's still a whole damn lot btw). Using simpler plug-ins, I really took the time to understand each aspect of synthesis and how they really worked instead of jumping from one to another expensive gadget looking for some magic pill. After 3 years my sound really started to get into a good direction. Then 6 months ago my Logic failed I lost all of my file path (and they make it over-complicated to retrieve it). There is additional content that you need to make it work properly however, I simply *cannot* for the life of me make it work, I tried well over 20 times and it just doesn't. So instead I started working with only what's available without the additional content, meaning most VSTs aren't available. Here's what I discovered : Modelling synthesis is absolutely *insane*; super simple sounds are immensely enjoyable (like a Mellotron with a single mono voice); You can use ridiculous chains of FX like sending an amp to pedals back to another amp, make a sound shift around 360 with a ringer and auto-wah (yes even only in stereo the illusion can be created on headphones!!), use a filter, delay and trem combination to make an arpeggiator... It reminds me of how people would devote years of their life to master maybe a dozen piece of gear top, like Prince only used Linn drums for years and some keyboard players or producers would swear by a single analogue synthetizer, and sound engineers would have that one console they mastered for a decade plus. The same way, if you have 7 projects at the same time you're never going to be successful at any. Don't listen to the "cool kids" who think they are successful because they are busy with many unimportant projects to make them feel good so they don't have to do any real effort. Now I may have an offer for a feature-film score and one of my band made some really high-level connection for potential serious, big record deal. Work in the shadows and people will not believe it.

Do you make music for yourself or bc you want to be successful? Both are possible, but what I’ve seen with people that do music for their own and don’t focus on other stuff like marketing etc. is that they won’t get successfull. So yea if you just care about making art then the numbers don’t matter. If you want to to make music your career you have to do stuff differently. Just passion for the art most of the time isn’t enough- as hard as it sounds.

That's so true, but your music is the core foundation of everything. I feel like the best way to approach this is, is to spend as much time as you can doing music for yourself and whenever you feel confident or you feel like your music is at a really good level then you should start moving towards the "successful" side : )
