Which of these myths have you guys found yourselves believing?

I would just add one thing: when you feel stuck or your track is finished and you can't figure out what's wrong, leave it. Don't listen to it for at least a week, preferably two weeks or even a month. Then listen and you'll know immediately what changes you can make. Then you'll improve. Work on something else in the mean time.

This vid can be a life changing lesson to some people. I mean the topic he's talking about is applied to most of our lives, including school, business, working out, and whatever. The contents are definitely solid to swallow, but he's telling the truths. Thank you for the enlightenment, Navie.

There's this layer between a beginner and their DAW. They don't actually hear what they are doing. This was such a big problem for me, I actually thought I had something wrong in my render settings and FL was the one messing stuff up. I broke down that layer a lot by listening back to the renders, sending in links for critiques, and just practicing in general. Active listening while you are making your beat is definitely learned. Your brain can make you hear something different from what you made.

The work ethic is important, talking about forcing yourself to at least be in the DAW to practice, only to find a sample you get excited about really resonated with me! I want more of these types of videos

I’ve sold beats, recorded songs in my bedroom and worked with several local artists and I still find myself watching videos and learning new things so I can improve because I know that palace and nick mira have years of experience and knowledge over myself

I've had a big issue with self-motivation and "feeling my shit," thank you for posting this video. Definitely inspired me to work hard at this shit everyday whether or not im inspired or in the right environment mentally. Gotta keep pushing and chasing my limits to close that "gap." I know I'm great at what I do, my confidence is what sets me back. Thanks for the boost Navie!!

Navie you are totally right, I agree with you 100% I just make my YT channel to share my “work files” to find people like me, share experiences and feedback. and I know it’s a long journey on front of me. I start make music a year ago, and i felt in love. I try improved my skills and push my self even I don’t have mood and energy after 8 or 10h in my job. But always I try to find time sit and try create sometimes I have a lot of fun from the joy and sometimes is “pain” but end of the day I feel I do something to be better at. Sorry for my grammar but I hope you get me. And all of the people reading this comment, don’t think you are the smartest or the greatest in making music because always out there someone is “better” then you just be happy that you can learn and improve everyday wish y’all the best ✌🏻

I feel like I've overcome the first two, but like you said, that last one lingers. I started putting my stuff out with an IDGAF mindset, but the truth is I still care what people think. Thank you for all your videos. I've learned a ton.

Navie i really appreciate this real talk. Im battling myself lately. I drag myself into it until it works.

Excellent video, Navie! Your passion to teach & coach is a great thing. Thank you for these encouraging words of wisdom 💯

I’m glad you put these helpful videos out there for the masses to watch and hopefully learn from! Always packed full of great advice and not even just for beat making honestly a ton of what you say can be applied to many things in life! Today’s biggest lesson was in my opinion for producers to do something unheard of “lose that ego” for a minute and actually learn something in the process 💪😎🆙💯🤜🤛

I love watching Navie's videos! You can tell that Navie actually cares about the producer community and wants to see beginners grow, and it helps me tons! thanks Navie!

I love this style of video, it’s so personal and feels like we just chilling at the crib having a conversation. Much respect and keep up the hard work!

Making music is a dream since childhood, I'm inspired EVERYTIME I get my hands on the gear. I spent so much time dreaming about having gear for music production (parents could not afford to buy me gear) that to this day I get excited just looking at a DAW or my hardware. Just thought I'd share my story. Awesome advise as usual! I absolutely love your content. Old school vinyl DJ who has a long way to go to become a real producer checking in!

Thank you for this amazing video!!! The trashy sound issue happened with me all the time. Here is what I am doing for that, I am not expecting much out of it especially if it is day 1, then day 2 I try to fix the issues, and so on.

Naive D keeps it real with you but is still encouraging af. Love the message you put out bro 🖤🤝

Thanks for making this video man! Absolutely love your channel Keep it up

Those triceps are popping! 💪 Honestly, I've been guilty of all three. But you are absolutely right, I just need to buckle down and get through these insecurities. The book "The Art of War" has been on my to-read list for a long time, it has now jumped on my priority list to the number one spot, thanks for the recommendation Navie.

Love your channel man. So many new producers are looking for tips, tricks & techniques, but fail to absorb the philosophy of an artist. It is as important as all the rest.

Thank you dude! I really appreciate it and i work everything single day on my beats and in the night i watching your videos to get better the next day💪

I believed in the second myth enough to buy fl studio to upgrade from GarageBand and iMpcPro 2. But its was like when I learned guitar as a teen, the more I played the better I got. Thank you again for the videos bro!!

This is so true at the start we ALL thought the best equipment would somehow take our beats to the next level lol. Time and sticking with it levels us up. Yea get the latest software, plugins, etc to have current and fresh sounds BUT put the time in! A fresh pair of Air Jordans does not make us jump any higher lol! Great vid

I put in millions of hours watching tutorials on like every audio related topic, endless trial & error etc... only way to improve. But its not that exhausting, if you really love the craft tho :)

Navie D. Not only a great teacher also a great motivator 🙏♥️

Thank you for this lesson. Ysterday I started watching your videos on TRshow and I found yours are so helpful and informative. I really appreciate that you are running your TRshow channel. Please Keep up the good work.

A wise man once said "If you need good software to make a good beat, then you don't deserve it."

I am not a producer, but the advice that you gave here is so relevant to everyday life.

Fantastic. You nailed the primary blocks and fears I've experienced. Also loved Pressfield. Great book. Need to remember that last one right now.

Great advice Navie, Harder truths. I've been guilty of those myths in other areas of my life too in the past. I stopped downloading boatloads of free plugins/ or salivating on expensive ones top producers have, I now instead focus on getting better using what I have.

In terms of "art speaking for itself": I think it's a bit of a mixed bag. You need both good art and good marketing skills. How strong you need to lean into the "marketing" side depends on your industry and circumstances - but the former is certainly a harder prerequisite than the latter imo - it's just that they're _both_ prerequisites, and marketing is hell of a lot easier when your product is actually good. I guess what I'm saying is, don't let the legwork of marketing make you cynical. At the end of the day, even if you need the marketing, it's still all about the art.

Hey Navie if you ever wanted to change careers, you could be a motivational speaker. Thanks for this video. I think it will help your viewers deal with the fear of failure we all have at times. Take care and we hope to see more of your videos!

I still remember the first decent beat I made. Soooo many L’s before that (& many more after too). I’m glad you put this message out. There is no avoiding the work necessary to even become competent at this, let alone profitable or an all-timer. You’re serving up straight bars in this vid. 🔥

Thank you so much for sprouting a warrior inside me... This lesson made me realised that I am not alone struggling.

In my cases the day after feeling heavily inspired, I woke up and really couldn’t recall it, but my findings were that initially I’d made a dope track but upon hearing it again the after it proved to be gat damn genius!

What you said about your brain protecting you from having a negative experience is so true! 🙆🏽‍♂️ Thanks for pointing it out I thought I was the only one

Continue doing this work bro, you really motivate me when ever I get beat block

Thank you for the video! Just realized that I'm believing the same myths, but in Russian. So it's exactly the same words, examples and excuses, no matter where you live and what language you speak. That's incredible! Thank you for that inspiration.

Haha this is my life. Thanks man I needed this. You’re really engaged and have a lot of experience. Thanks for being a REAL mentor on here.

Thanks for the great advice! Definitely experienced some of these before

I’ve been guilty of all of these at some point 😂 I’m still at the start and my beats are trash. Now I’m being honest with myself I know where I need to improve. Your into and drop is key. I’m now working on improving this part of my beats as the first 10 seconds is important! Thanks for all the help navie D. Your one of the few that gives all of the sauce and helps pave the way for new producers such as myself. I have a video request - instrument selection. I struggled at the start with knowing where to use - flutes, leads, bells, brass etc. LVM

Navie's Couch is better than Casting Couch. There I've said it.

4 years of music production mixing, mastering and iam still using stock plugins 😂🙏

You are a legend my guy and the best resource I’ve found. Keep doing the good work 🔥

bro I felt everything you say, going through all this now..

So this is why I havent seen your channel before. But now Im binge watching. You have a shitton of great tips and tricks. And Ive been using FL since it was called Fruity loops.

I usually don't listen to youtube beatmakers because for me the feeling is just not there with the way they teach things. Here is the one I needed, you're just teaching the chill way and your advices are actually usefull. You earned a subscribe, keep up the good work Navie !

great motivation. just got started producing on fl studio can be frustrating at time but highly motivated

Thanks, this really came right in time cuz i was considering to give up and try something else. I downloaded fl studio in 2018 but i didn't have much time to learn cuz school was taking the most time from me, i kinda started using it in 2019 and i can say from there to now i improved a lot but lately i started struggling, i was never good at making melodies and my chords are pretty generic so i started using samples and again, at the beginning it was ok but then i started to suck at it, there is a channel called "Krptic Unknown" most of his musics are made from samples (anime, games...) so i wanted to use sample like him and then 2 weeks ago i found your video about "SliceX", it was a great help but i couldn't use sample the way he did so i started comparing myself with many youtubers, You, him, Kyle beats, Origami and others, so i started to give up and losing interest in making music Once again, Thank you, i kinda regain my motivation after watching this, not only for music production but in other stuffs i tried and gave up easily. Worth Subscribing... probably i won't start today lol i don't want to put myself on stress with it

great topics. literally every one is super on point. thanks for the reassurance man!

I really enjoy your insights. As every profession, music production demands try, error and a good amount of willingness. I'm begining to make some music (not real beats) and posting them here on my YT page as my part-time learning process expands. Would be awesome to have some feedback when you get the time.

Thanks Navie for the pep talk, I hit all of them. 😥 Especially the one about listening to a track the next day after I was so jacked about a beat... and said "Who wrote this steaming pile?, This isnt what I heard yesterday... sigh..' thanks again..

Bro that's what i am undergoing now this very experience you just explained now but not going back will stick and learn, thanks for the advice .

I promise to all the brand new producers out there watching this the shit hes saying is 100% accurate

Ever since i began my journey of self teaching through YT and other platforms I've been getting better and honestly if you'd started your Channel earlier I'd have been a subscriber from day 1 cause honestly your tutorials are way different from Servida or Curtis you always have exactly what I'm looking for in the most direct way possible, thank for helping us get better.

Good points, but I think there’s merit in tools. You need to know that tools don’t make you better, but you can use them to make better beats if you know how to use them. Samples and presets, for example, can make it easier to arrive at a good beat due to reduction in time worrying about things like the mix.

Two things I learned beatmaking. 1) The gear used is at the whim of the beatmaker’s talent. 2) It’s not what you can do, but what can you do with it. For example, you could make fire beats left and right, but if you can’t DO anything with them, they will die on your hard drive. On the other hand, you could make garbage beats, but if you have connections in the industry, you can DO something with them. Life sucks like that. Make beats for fun and hope for the best.

That "You're Not Special" part, is KEY!! Thanks for this video!

i'm a amateur producer/rapper from Brazil and I just discovered your channel, there is not too much quality content available for free in my country and I just want to thank you for making these videos, I'm learning a lot in every single video that i watch.

very true ...and i really dig the fl studio stock plugins tutorials they are quite handful if you can do more of those . Thank you so much for the inspiration
