from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for watching :)

Jon Makes A Good Point. We need more music on YouTube, we need more musicians sharing technique, it's not a competition it's a community.

I gave up on creating music and showing it publicly. I went back to hiding in my room and making stuff I didn't know what to do with. I don't really like uploading anymore and now I'm struggling to even create anything at all. However, I suppose giving it another shot wouldn't hurt. I have nothing left to lose especially now. Thank you for the encouragement, your music still helps me a lot.

sitting here scared thinking Jons speaking to me specifically 💀

"It may not feel like it at the moment, but we all stand to benefit from you breaking your personal ground"

I'm happy I watched until the end because I needed to hear that

[NoahBility]

This is a just a wholesome ass video
A call to action that feels more like a kind nudge rather than a violent shove

[BananaSplitBrain]

I like you as a human.

It felt like you directly spoke to a problem on my mind, no one else knows it exists.

For some reason the algorithm knew that.

I read a book a while ago on Buddhism (cant remember exactly what its called) but my main take away was the saying "Follow up 1 hour of study with 7 hours of practice." That hit hard because I am one who just takes in all of the talking and all of the theory and technique without trying to explore or put anything into practice myself which I would like to improve on. Thanks for putting so much out there.

I've always been drawn to Andrew Huang because he's an amalgamation of every kind of music youtube channel ive seen. He talks gear, he talks VSTs, he shows creation processes for certain tracks, he gives advice on how to approach this online music industry, he has weird tracks made with weird items, and he collaborates with many other music channels big or small. It's probably why he's one of the bigger music content creators I've seen on this platform. I'm still waiting on a Jon x Andrew video...

It's crazy how right you are about "telling" getting more traction than showing. I started out watching Busyworksbeats because I loved his 1 hour + videos that actually showed his failed ideas and the problem solving that goes into making videos. Now, all my suggestions are 15 minute videos that only show the "right" thing to do. The thing is, I often try to follow the "right" path and hit a roadblock when that oath conflicts with my abilities or style. It's so much more valuable to me to see the mistakes and actually understand what inspired various choices and that's exactly what I want my youtube channel to be.

I've been making beats seriously since 2017 and I've gone through so much imposter syndrome and doubt because my beats don't sound mainstream. Now, when I listen to those old beats I used to cringe at, I'm amazed at how abstract and inspired some of them are and I'm clamboring to figure out how to recapture that essence. Life has been rough these past couple of years and I keep on putting music on the back burner but, I'm continuously getting signs that my contributions could provide some value to folks.


Let me know if there are any beats you'd like to see a breakdown for and that'll give me some direction for my first few videos.

Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate your support when I get this channel up an running. Thanks for the inspiration Jon. In this video alone, you've done more for my producer journey than 100's of hours of tutorials. I hope to follow your footsteps toward my own version of success.

Loved the message in this video!

As a fellow music content creator, I constantly struggle with finding creative ways to present and showcase the process of making music in video form. Making music is already a "story" in and of itself but I find it often needs to have additional elements in order to be engaging enough to watch and be successful on YouTube.

When you think about where music storytelling was on YouTube just five years ago, it’s wild how much it has evolved. Like you said, I’m super excited to see where we’ll be in another five or ten years!

[calicookstunes]

I used to love watching beat making videos but it felt like the soul was lost. I found you and now you are the only one I watch. This video has sparked something inside of me man. I stopped making beats and just play the keys a lot these days but I feel inspired to record the process soon- whatever it might be. Thanks for sharing this man.

[totaled_camry]

there's something really infectious about the pacing and style of video that you and schnoodle have created, i'm always excited to watch a new JMB vid. a lot of this comes down to talent (and charisma close second), but schnoodle has done such a good job at making the pacing feel fast without skipping over the beautiful details of the process.

[contentdotcom]

the avant chop channel makes some really cool drum covers - and is still underrated imo

[CrimsonCandyMusic]

Agreed! I've been making music but also was thinking of putting out Youtube content since last year. But because of this very reason I thought it won't be worth it. But still, I started putting out YouTube content as well, with my music. Thanks for the inspiration!

I’m documenting the process of having new classical music written for me, applying for grants, preparing for recording (learning and then practicing), recording and all the tech set up with my engineer, and all the ins/outs of the process in hopes it might help my colleagues who want to do a big project and maybe some folks might appreciate the peak behind the curtain. Classical musicians are NOT used to or comfortable with not being 100% polished in public. I just launched my first youtube vlog in the series introducing myself and have a plan to capture all of this. Starting with talking head casual style but will try to make the rest of it real and interesting. I don’t know what is interesting to people who don’t do this though!

Thank you for putting this video up because I feel the same way about musicians under-valuing their process and the opportunities here on YouTube to show it. 100% open to ideating with everyone in all genres to make this a thing, cause i’m not sure either!

[jamesdesousa]

Spot on Jon. I click on your videos because I know they are quality, not because I get click-baited in. Keep up the good/honest work man.

[MaryHamerMusic]

0:22 seconds in, and you already deserve a like! 👍

[MegaMashuuCl]

Here comes my tangent on why my niche seems to be very specific...

Although Vocaloid is much bigger nowadays, you rarely see covers of those songs done on instruments, at least on winds or orchestral strings. Outside of Japan, this rarity increases a fair bit.

That is probably why I am a bit addicted to Vocaloid songs. I always think about playing those songs on my clarinet, and I also want others to know that the typical "band kid" may also join in on the fun.

It's always easier to talk about stuff than do the primary activity
It's like when people are presenting and they do a huuuuge preface about what the presentation is gonna be like instead of just embodying the qualities they value and getting on with it
