"Fight off your perfectionism." What a good thing to remember.

[caioaugusto]

I'm 27, play guitar for 15 years, but just got tired of playing covers and having to deal with band shenanigans, and the lack of people to play with where I live, so took out the Ableton minilab mk2 I got gathering dust for years and am starting to write, and what fun it's being. Just the part of the frustration, and the joy of getting something I was struggling to be like I want is being amazing, and this is being a very helpful video, thank you

[bplain]

The real key here is to make sure you know how to play an instrument. I bought all this stuff then realized I couldn't play a single note hahahaha

[kmstirpitz]

I think it is great that people are beginning to make music with what they have. A lot of people get pushed away from even trying to make music in the first place because they feel like they need expensive gear that they can't afford though these days, it is far from true.

Just a quick line from a grateful parent for this fantastic video, especially the explanation at the end about the relative order in which to acquire equipment. We are a music family through and through...but analog! My son on the other hand is hugely interested in digital music production, and you gave me what I needed to help him get started.

[karenraedoll]

I'm 62 years old, and I have an MPK Mini. Had it for 2 years now tried playing it several times, became so frustrated with it. But your vids are extremely easy to understand. I'm going to try again today. Thank you so much for inspiring me.

[andrewpareo]

One thing I have to say is don't always rush forward just because you have or got higher end equipment. Like when i got my MIDI controller (which happen to be an Arturia Minilab 3) it also came with higher end software like Ableton Live. But when I ended up actually trying to make a full track i gave up and went back to BandLab cause it was easier and didnt have to use as many externals.

I started out and am still operating cheap. I use my iPhone 13 with GarageBand, headphones and a korg nano keys 2. Only cost me about $80 for the korg, headphones, and usb adapter. I love your philosophy of getting your music out there and not letting the pursuit of perfection kill it. Keep up the great videos.

8:55 Make sure you get EarPods and not AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones. Bluetooth headphones won’t work well for monitoring while overdubbing parts due to latency.

[dhsiren]

This video was extremely helpful, especially since I wasn't sure what to purchase for my setup as far as what was essential and what wasn't. This really explained what everything is meant for and how to build your setup based on how you produce. Since I won't be using any live instruments yet, I can build my gear accordingly.

Thanks a ton for your tutorials and for this information!!

I loved your comment 'fight off the perfectionism' which put it so succintly for me! I started off with music production about 2 years ago with a windows laptop, akai mpk mini 3 and audio technica ath m30x headphones. I didn't start to record guitar and vox til later. Taetro, I don't much like listening to 'lofi' music, but I like making to it. You are awe-inspiring.

[MrTurnerNVA]

Dude, your vids are not only very informative and relatable, but you seem like a truly genuine person. That's very rare in these times. So, cheers to you, my man. Peace and love from VA.

I love this! I have been holding off getting back into writing music for so many reasons (Dad of 2 boys, executive corporate job, insert other excuses here). I wrote music at a time when everything was analog - guitar, piano, cassette - just gave away my age right there. While I am versed with today's tech (PS5, ipad pros) i didn't know where to start - until today. I have an ipad pro, i have a kawaii digital grand piano, but will get a midi controller (eyeing akai based off of this video) and will just ket the music flow. Thank you!

I am not a musician and just came here out of curiosity. But I enjoyed that video and now I am discovering the world of sound devices. :)

[shnflzrd]

Video's good. If there's one thing I'd tell myself when I was just starting out is 'it's okay to be frustrated, if you don't get the sound you like. Just start with whatever you can, but practicing everyday would really get you far. I promise. Stick with what you're familiar with. Always fix the issue with what's feels like lacking, improve it day by day and then BAM, you wono't realize you're already there. I stand by using iPad but please, if you can- choose a software and master it.

[kaywoodparsons]

great starter and also a great daily recording setup mate. really thats all you need if your not producing for bands etc... One addition I would add there is a powered USB hub. Also will fix that midi keyboard from stopping.

[nickperez]

This was an excellent video! My son asked for the Akai MPK mini and I was like “I’m sure you need more than that to get started”. This video was a lot of help. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video!

[MrBrandonLau]

Logic Pro on iPad is pretty amazing I recommend this setup too

[kentjensen]

Talented musician, talented teacher. Happy to see this channel doing so well. It's fully earned.

[liamkennedy]

btw guys u don't need any music experience for production whatsoever. just get a free trial from FL studio and start drawing in melodies and watching tutorial videos, i don't know chords at all yet i still make great beats (to me at least) the main thing for me i've found is simply using sounds i like. easy. . .
