I once heard practice doesn't make "perfect" but permanent. i feel like this exemplifies that well.
Jon was HELLA slept on as a rapper. I constantly have people ask “who is this!?” while I’m bumping his music in my car, or at work. Dropped some fire bars and now he’s dropping knowledge on everyone and putting us onto game. F’ing Legend.
That last point "Don't buy more gear" the amount of people that I talk to that say "if I just had (insert piece of gear) my set up will be perfect" is crazy. Learn what you have inside and out and you will get ideas from your head into the world faster.
very real. Great video man
Learning how to learn is something i wish more people talked about. Well done
I'm a composer, not a beat maker, but the points you describe here are such gold that really anyone wanting to get into music can take notes here
didnt click out of the vid as soon as he smashed my whole world view on greatness within the first 9 seconds. im now the best
I was jsut sitting down and having a terrible session today. Sometimes there are those days where nothing good is coming to mind and it can be really frustrating especially when you are working on a commission project. Watching this video definitly made me feel better and I think it's important to know that you can absolutely walk away and take a breath. The music isn't goin anywhere and sometimes we need a fresh brain before getting into a creative space . This is especially important for when you get home from a long day at work and you put a ton of pressure on yourself to use your time "valuably".
massively appreciate these videos clarence. youre really sparking my passion for making music again
Thank you for helping me. I find your words incredibly supportive and wise.
Looking up tutorials as you need them vs. trying to learn it all at once is very effective. It's learning by experience vs. memorizing steps.
These are the most important tips you can give a newbie.
Jon 4 President, heat advice dude - especially about being bad/not being afraid to make mistakes.
you're very wise and kind, glad to have found you
More of these mate. Agree with so much in this video.
Deep down I know a lot of this stuff already, but it's always great to hear it from someone who's got their sh*t together. As inspiring as it is with what you are doing already, this also made me laugh so keep 'em coming!
This is just what I needed, man. I remember the days when I had a shitty laptop, Reason with stock sounds, and a cheap midi keyboard. I was so much more productive and didn't have a care in the world. Now I just bounce around different hardware and DAW's, judging my creations and lack of productivity. Time to take a few steps back and get back to what's most important.
stoked to have sliced n served this very special episode of JMB, thanks for watching team!
Massive Jewel right here . Salute!!
