To keep focus on the color or emotion and not get lost on effects. We can keep adding effects all day but as long as the message, emotion or color is communicated you're done.

I'm not a musician but I am an artist (drawing, painting, digital) and your list idea is actually very similar to how I finish works. Near the end of the painting I'll usually (in the case of digital) make a layer and just circle in red every little thing I can find that needs fixing. Makes it way easier to gauge what's left to do and to work through it one spot at a time.

Andrew Huang isn't always my cup of tea, but this is a great piece of information. I think every early EDM bedroom producer gets stuck in this pattern of not knowing how to break out of the loop and structure a complete song (at least I did/do). Appreciate you Andrew!

That tracking is more stable than my financial life.

So what I've gathered from this is that getting a few more (well-trained) ears on your tracks is always a good idea. Collaboration is super underrated!

There's an old saying about creative endeavors- the first 90% is easy, the second 90% is the hard part.

There’s this old, well known song called “stand by me”, the rendition everyone has heard is by Ben E. King. It’s a very well known song, everyone has heard it. It’s the same 4 chords the whole song over and over again. The melody changes in the chorus, the song raises its emotional level in the chorus and then reels it back in the verse, but when you play the song, you realize that it’s the same thing the whole way through. Songs don’t need to be complex, and often times complexity creates polarizing reactions for whatever reasons. It seems like the best songs are always simple like row, row, row your boat. 🤷‍♂️ I didn’t create this world I just live here.

"My kind has observed humans since long before there were such a thing as 'English' " Oh my god that is such a good explanation for English speaking aliens I'm surprised it wasn't used often.

The way he says "pieces" 💔 @10:32

This video is like an 8 minute speed-run through the first week in his Monthly class. If this was inspiring to you, consider looking for signups next time they're around--assuming it's still going?

i used to make beats 10years ago . . i had potential but lacked focus. I hear music all the time in my head all my life, but though the melodies exist i never had focus to fully dive in and learn everything, (get distracted easily "bored")tho lately i have been lookin to get back into it . . ive been recently diagnosed with A.D.D and so a lot of my shortcomings became clear. Losing inspo and not finishing things. this is the most inspirational video i have ever seen, your music is amazing and the logical steps and process really really helps me to see a clear path through the fog.. thanks so much for making it brother !!!!

Thank you for being vulnerable and showing us so much of your process. It's much appreciated!

KZread should sponsor this space thing, it's super cool.

Send simone to the space 💛 Yeah!

Having just found your Chanel Im really pleased that all the thing I doubted I was doing in production are the things I just need to keep working on. You explain things so clearly and make them fun for me to understand. Kudos and blessings

Great video! I'm lost in loop land on a couple of productions. This really helped to shake some ideas loose.

Great video. I have a similar work flow where I start making a 2 to 4 bar loop that is killer. The hardest part for me has always been breaking that up in a way others will love. Since as composers, if we like it, we can probably listen to the loop on repeat for 12 hours haha.

Those tips about, workflow, creativity and most important, a perspective about the dynamic of the full process you can't find it everywhere. You rock this one

This series is the most incredible thing I've seen in music in a while. Super cool and this particular video inspired me in a way I didn't expect it would. I now have a roadmap for how to get to the finish line for a few lingering projects. Thank you!

LOVE the cinematography, beautiful shots. And a big thanks for sharing your workflow from start to finish!

Not sure how i've missed this little gem but thanks so much for sharing your personal workflow. I am, without a doubt, the loop master and over the past 20 years, i've only ever finished about a dozen tracks (i've had many issues in between but still, that's pretty lame lol) You're such an inspiring musician, friend. You make the whole process feel much more relatable for those that are a little stuck; unlike some producers that make videos, that are, quite honesly, more interested in showing off how good they are to their fans, rather than actually be helpful, productive or inspiring. You've made one hell of a difference in my production and work flow over the years, just by explaining things in a personable way, backed with a good portion of knowledge. Kudos and much love to you 😉👊

Getting to structure as soon as possible is SO key. The songs of mine I like the most usually also come together the fastest because I've created at least A and B sections to work around

This guy must have a lot of fun doing this. Love the music, love his vibe. Respect. Im so glad that he just IS. Thanks!

Super helpful. totally agree with not getting bogged down in the detail until the end. Definitely helps to share and at least get someone else's reaction. Thank you.

Wonderful editing and wonderful paces, video effects, scriptbook Just everything. I love it ❤️

I make sure to watch this tutorial before every session, helps me maintain the general broad sence of the vibe and structure I need to maintain for the track. You're the best Andrew 🤗

Thanks for talking about how you reach out and ask other producers for help on your tracks. I think this is something that’s not always so easy to cultivate with lots of us working in a very isolated way.

Really needed this video! I've been doing these 1-minute synth jam videos on my channel and they just sit in my DAW unfinished. Now, I'm on a mission to turn them all into full songs!

Thanks for showing us your process. Good tips. I appreciate your openness and sharing the "embarrassing" parts we all go through turning a cool idea into a song.

Wonderful as always. Two things I thought of which would complete the list for me: 1. Referencing and 2. Don't be afraid to quickly move through the steps, back and forth, back and forth. It can be for different parts, as you hear something, or where your interest takes you. You needn't work solely on the macro until it's perfect before diving into the micro. It is difficult to get the pacing of this right and to see it all through by the end, but it's a pattern of working I've seen in all artistic expression. My two cents ;) Thanks Andrew!

I loved the series! I knew right away it was fiction, but I was really impressed with the quality of the production. I did think the meme-y bits did maybe take away from the narrative, however I also recognized that it was just your own humor shining through, so I went with it. Liftoff is my favorite track of the series 👏

Love the song! Great spacey lyrics as well! Great work Andrew, Dana and Pusher! 👍🚀

Thank you for providing detailed guidance as I am a beginner and currently stuck in making loops.

Been needing this working on a loop/track rn

You are so dope. I just wanted to say that. And thank you for sharing all your music production insight. 🙌

This is exactly what I've been struggling with, thanks Andrew.

This is such a cool series Andrew! Incredibly out of the box and super creative.

I find the finishing touches of the song to be my favorite part. I just struggle to get there because I struggle to structure my songs in the first place. Coming up with melodies that work together to create a cohesive mood is typically where I struggle. I can do the loop but I find that the loop usually doesn't translate into a song very easily. I'll definitely try to create structure way earlier in the process so it doesn't become an issue down the road.

You put together amazingly structured content

Just what i needed! Thanks andrew!

This work is just amazing!

Andrew man sometimes you pop up just at the right time. Thanks dude 😁

Oh thank you a lot for this video! It’s much more personal when I listened to the song like 50 times😂. You are fabulous Andrew!!

Every song I make i start with a loop and build like 5 or 6 tracks over the loop and then I practice muting sections and build a different vibe with the loop and then I try piecing it around with the others by unmuting and muting others. Just reducing your work to make room for creativity is a great practice. Sometimes too much can crowd it up and doesn’t leave room for your brain to wander.
