No joke man, I simply decided to just forget everything I thought I knew and take every bit of advice you give. As a result entire horizons are opening up in front of me as far as creativity, workflow, and inspiration. The confidence level has substantially improved along with my mixes. The changes I see in my work as a result of the instruction from these videos are a game changer no doubt.

Here's something that may help when finding a sound/melody that you want to save for later in Ableton: Create a new folder ("Midi Ideas" is mine) and add it to your Places in the browser. Drag the Midi of the sound you like from the Timeline or Loop View into this (Midi Ideas) folder and name the Midi. When you open a new project, drag the midi file into the empty space in either view. Tempo, Instrument Preset, and all your Effects will all generate automatically in the new session. It's allowed me to quickly save great ideas without the extra hassle of deleting tracks, moving projects to new folders, or saving effects chains separately. You may need to save the VST instrument preset before this process, if you have made preset tweaks, for this to work properly. Love your content as always, and cheers!

Hi Will, I cannot thank you enough for the videos, they are excellent. They are so practical and absolutely relevant and there is so much value in them. On one hand, I am so glad that someone created a channel focused on such a niche stuff as EDM production. On the other hand, it is a bit scary that there is 200+K people doing it already:-))) Regarding the content, I find so reassuring that the techniques and problems you mention are exactly what I (and other EDM producers) had/have to face. It is like not being alone in all of this - I mean doing weird stuff other people do not understand at all....hahaha. I think in some way, a person needs to be obsessed with this because otherwise it is very difficult to produce reasonably good quality. But it is such a great feeling to produce something literally from nothing, to give something to the world. To create and not to consume, to contribute in this amazing way. Regards, Adam

As always Will, thank you so much for all the free value you’re providing us with. I’m so glad to be part of the EDM Tips academy!

Hi Will, earlier I watched one of your videos from two years ago it’s amazing how far how the production of your videos has evolved and how slick they are now love it ❤

Really pro this guy has solved the whole problem of YouTuber producers who teach mixing and mastering this is what I also experienced and learned in 13 years production and I use this teqnique and ❤🎉 always works for me

Hi will, i wanted to just say mate within the past 2-3 weeks I have been watching your channel, there's sooooo much stuff you have helped me with I'm actually flabbergasted because I didn't think most of these tips would work for me until I tried them. Before then my music sounded absolutely shit, I'm not kidding but since i started listening to you, within 2 weeks my tracks have been changing and getting better every single track just gets better and better i can properly hear them, i don't hear any flat, muddy, or just annoying frequencies in my mix (as much) but i know when and how to fix them. just wanted to say big thank you mate! you genuinely have helped me soo much and I'm only going to get better and faster at making music, and its all thanks to you mate!!!

This guy is the real deal, feels refreshing to actually hear a PRO instead of these selfclaimed PROS lmao

I'm so grateful to you for this amazing video. I guess my beatmaking life will never be the same after comprehending your content. ❤❤❤

You explain very well all the things!!!Thanks to share and teach a lot 🥳🥳🥳🔥

Recently found this channel. Absolute gane changer. Been seriously struggling with getting consistently coherent mixes.

I tend to create a sound, make a loop/riff/hook/melody depending on the sound itself and then create the track... the genre pretty much writes itself

This is great advice! Every day I have fun just improvising for about an hour or so. I play around with sound design or if I'm lazy, with the various presets and virtual instruments in my DAW. It's the improvising that stimulates the creative juices. Combining your suggestions with my goofing off sounds like a match made in musical heaven! Thanks!

Thanks for the kick samples, they sound great. I am really enjoying your videos and learning a lot.

thanks for the tips! one thing that helped me with decision fatigue was writing everything in midi with live instruments. it helped me figure out what kind of sounds i like and what im actually trying to say in my music and i can write without caring about sounds.. then i sound design when i feel like it on separate projects and hot swap in the sounds ive made over time :)

Thank you so much for the time & effort you put into these videos.

Probably mentioned somewhere in the comments but listening to music in general can be dumb to mention but it is the basic after all. There’s so much out there, past, present, future. If you are not up to date with the artists surrounding your style / genre you will always be a few steps away from breakthrough.

Thanks for the kicks, Hugely appreciated. And i do need to reorder my samples library so that'll be my task for the day. Cheers Will. ❤

So a more fundamental issue is recognizing genre. The subgenrefication of EDM seems to have become too granular to be useful. I've found them to be overlapping, inconsistent, and sometime even contradictory depending on whom you're talking to. Perhaps in a future video that gives some genre clarification would be helpful?
