Nice and detailed post. Sometimes, we beat ourselves too hard with too much expectations. Thanks for the post.
 
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lengthy, helpful post.
 
great article buddy! I started producing music one and half year ago and everyhting you written is on point. thanks for putting the effort into writing and sharing this article.
 
This article is nicely written and gets straight to the point, good information here. Everyone should read it night just relieve some unwanted stress when it comes to creating music.
 
I agree with the steal part. Everything is a remix. EVERYTHING. even the things you think are unique. Loved the read
 
Musicianship is honestly optinal, it's extreremly true how you mentioned that.
Beceause if you're not packing therory you'll eventually learn some things here and there about it, and really see what you're capible of.
 
There is a lot of honesty in this article - even though it was written in the past it still holds true today.
 
I would add that guilds run the industry at higher levels, so you better be connected.
 
This post motivated me and gave me a reasonable goal template. Thanks!

10. Everybody steals

So many people are so ****ing paranoid that they just sit there staring at their computer screen like me wandering aimlessly in a supermarket trying to put a meal together. My god, if I couldn’t steal recipes from people much more gifted in cooking than me, I’d be in even more trouble.The truth is, that all of the music you hear is inspired by another musician, artist, poet or some abstract thing someone recognized as having a beauty that others might not have seen from that perspective.That idea you are afraid to borrow was almost certainly inspired someone else, if not completely stolen. Picasso, John Lennon & Steve Jobs, all considered to be creative innovators all are famously quoted for nicking ideas pretty blatantly. You think Led Zeppelin were innovators? I did too & I still love them, but if you do some research, I’m sure you’ll be shocked.Stealing ideas is how artists constantly fuel their own creativity. Letting go of the fear of being completely original will actually set you free & make you more creative, not less. Use samples, presets, loops, quotes, or even steal from your own past ideas. Nothing you can steal will be put back together quite like the source you got it from.We are all human filters. This means that no matter what we borrow or steal, it still has to run through our unique set of parameters before it gets spit back out as our own art. Drop the fear & use everything around you when you create. It’s liberating.
