man David, that was an incredible video. I'm with Jean P (although I'm not from the Netherlands). I genuinely admire you and I am proud to call myself your ninja. Thanks a lot for all the help you've given and I wish you all the best.
Hi David, Thanks for your honesty! And thanks for showing people that you don't have to have a college certificates to make it! I studied @ SAE - a waste of lots money. You do learn, but nothing you cant pick up on youtube or "ask video" today :) One thing: I am amazed about the depth you know logic. I cant even look at that program anymore.. it breaks my head!!! You make it look so easy.. Ableton and even Protools are much easier to me - imagine, i never thought i´d say this about PT :)
Very inspiring! Really liked your take on going to music schools vs. just being passionate (OCD) about your art and doing it. "Did I say record store"??!! Awesome! Laughed hard at that one. Thanks for all your vids David. Please keep making them.
WOW Mr. Earl. FANTASTIC. I'm currently studying HND in Music Production, Degree in the same subject next year, in Manchester, UK.
You're an inspiration!!! What's so insane for me, is being able to do this because my Mother passed away 2 years ago and I was left with money for Mac, Logic etc.
This is 3rd time lucky for me and I'm 40 in 2 months!
1st - 1992 drop out of Uni.
2nd - 2004 Retail Management career ends as car crash puts me in coma.
Im watching this video and going, "yes, yes yes" all those things are related to me in many ways/shapes/forms! Thank you for your videos and thoughtful words. Its a great feeling to be able to relate to someone on a higher level than you and know what they are saying is truth.
I'm also from The Netherlands, now 16 years old, i've been producing electronic music for like 2,5 years now. All that time with Fruity Loops, believe me, you can do more with it than most people now haha, and learned a tiny bit of Reason cause a friend of mine is using it.
My mom just bought a Macbook pro and that's why i wanted to test out Logic cause there's a great chance i'm going to use this more than FL.
Just wanted to say that your videos are really inspirational, thanks.
I'm a 20 year old DJ, I play at the biggest clubs in the Netherlands, been DJ'ing for about 6 years now, and I've been producing for about 2 years thanks to you. I'm growing every day, doin my best
I have alot of respect for you, for making these videos, and even making this video.
It's al very true what you're saying.
Call me a wuss or whatever, but I cried at the end of your video, because of what you said.
@SouthSideProRider Congratulations on your success, Jean! How awesome that you are getting such cool gigs and you are sooooo young. Thanks for your kind words, and keep in touch. I ain't gonna call you a wuss, either. That's one hell of a compliment to be so moved by some half-assed off-the-cuff video I posted years ago. It's very touching. Hope to maybe grab a beer with you in the Netherlands! *bows*
Wow, thanks so much for posting this, I was wondering the same thing.
I dropped out of college because I hated it. So now I work jobs to pay the bills (student loans-bleh) and to support my music and photography. I gotta find people to hang out with who are doing awesome things and not strung out on drugs. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is my history. I am from a village in Guatemala with a population of 130, I use to work in a farm, then dad ask me to came to the US. So I did at 18 Los angeles, work at a restaurant, save some money, then I wanted to move to Boston where I discover my passion "Music" I spend my savings in dj gear and DAWs. get my GED. and here I am! in your tip #30 learning at every minute I have free, I still working in restaurants but, when I'm not working I'm in the web learning. Thanks.
Dave U rock man !!! i am in mexico city , and i really apreciatte your videos u are teaching a lot of people and thats really cool ... dude ... by the way ... i have a question , is it possible to match a song to the timeline ? i mean without moving the beat mapping tempo track ?? i understood the tutorials about beat mapping and tempo track but i want to have the same tempo ...the whole song and sync the real audio song .... for remixes Regards Another of your logic ninjas in mexico city LOL
Yo SFLogicNinja. You're preaching my kind of gospel and it's incredibly encouraging. I'm in Australia and really going for it after so many years not nurturing my one true love of music. It's hard, but you are an integral and inspiring part of my music community (I have good people on the ground here too) and it's amazing. THANK YOU for your like mind and generosity of spirit, time and knowledge.
thanks brother , i am going thru the same amazing story you have just said !
now i am 34 year old and working on a revolutionary plugin.
the world need more people like yourself .
i appreciate your kindness you have forgot to say on your video that you have really reach to satisfaction because you have the appreciation for other talents and open minded to listen to other peoples creations
I guess there are more of us working ants trying to find ways around in the business than there are million dollar celebrities.
I can relate to much of what you're talking about and find great inspiration in your words.
"Makin' it big time" wouldn't be too bad i guess, still getting to the point where you're quite content with what you're doing - and are able to pay bills as well, might be a goal most of us should focus more on.
Emergeing / making yourself visible is SO important!
great words good man... i'm 33 and busting my ass to learn logic 8. i've been playing in bands and dj'ing my whole life. there were times i was making good cash playing drums, and living like a king from dj'ing... now? i'm typing this with paint all over my thrashed hands. hard labour man. sometimes thats how it goes. no big deal. i know the money will come back... til then, i work my sack off in the day, and check your tutorials every night with logic open on my lcd. thanks so much..
Its so good to be able to hear people such as yourself.
I live in a town in the UK where many girls my age of 21 (most of my old girl-friends) have kids and are now tied down with trying to pay for them and their previous ideas of going to college/university or having a career that they enjoyed has been put on hold for a very very long time (and probably won't be achieved unfortunately).
There are so many opportunities and if you have enough drive and enthusiasm you can grab them!!
Totally agree with your words, especially when you speak about talent, talent is so overrated, that people quit to do something with the excuse: " i don't have talent". Like the great Tom Jobim said: "Music is 10% inspiration, and 90% perspiration".
good words dude. just like me, I don't really believe in pure talent, its all about being to an extent obsessive over a subject matter to truly excel in it!
I am checking out this tour:smart book now, and i'm wondering whether you might be able to also recommend a resource like this for the process of dealing with labels/ signing/etc... ?
I'm 19 year old high school student who will finish it with exams that I took whoch should be related to audio engineering notably physics, IT.
I was pushed around with music a bit. First it was piano then a clarinet and before that I was in choir. From what I've been told I have absolute hearing. Can name a heard song in a second. Wanted to do something related to sound engineering because I though I can't make songs due to similarity to every other I heard.
WOW... GOD bless you for being YOU!!! you are truly a blessing to so many of us... you're my "twin" in so many ways... i have no degree and i got a really big break by posting videos on youtube!!!
thanks a million - you've convinced me to purchase logic 8!!!
Great advice. I am 37, have been playing in independent metal and rock bands without major success (though I did tour Europe for a month last year with one band and have had radio airplay with several) and I totally agree with the advice given here. I work part time 3 days a week, write as often as I can in between and over the last few years I have taught myself Garageband, then Logic and now Reason in my spare time. Turn off that TV, look at a few tutorials, and start writing.
Thank you so much, David. I've just finished my audio engineering program in December, and I've been trying to start my own audio post company. Slow going, but still... it's going. This is quite inspiring.
Thanks for the inspiration...I played the violin for 9 years and quit to go to art school(overpriced art school!). I'm now realizing that music is my real passion, so I'm fighting the urge to settle for doing motion graphics and I'm working on becoming a DNB DJ and producer.
I'm finding that as I do music more, I learn a lot more about myself than when I do art. I'm kicking myself for not just going to music school in the first place; RISD costs as much as Berklee!
Ok, I respect that. In no way was I suggesting that one can be too old to make good music, I was just interested because you mentioned age in your video.
I'm far from procrastinating with my music at the moment, and I do make music to develop my own soul/reach my musical goals, not just for money.
But yes, it is easy to make excuses, so I'll stop making them - apart from one that's impossible to avoid: the girlfriend.
Just out of interest, what do you consider 'old'? I'm 28, and I feel old, but no way am I throwing in the towel as I feel I'm getting better a.s.I.t.y.p.e. @rickhoekman: weren't the Rolling Stones popular from a young age?
interesting, learned so much more about you, time is precious these days but you're right, if I've got time to listen to you say record store, lol, then I got a few minutes to open up my laptop and play a little
yea i still think you're the most inspiring person on youtube from the 'details' you had told me such a long time ago in emails man... you have more motivation than anyone i've ever ha dthe pleasure to talk with.
I've been thinking about this a lot myself recently. I worked really hard at college and uni to learn about music, and landed a bit of a studio job and doing some music workshops etc.I thought the hard part was over, lately i realise it is just beginning.many of my friends are in this situation, the internet generation sometimes expects to get anything quickly and we often think this applies to life and it can be difficult to remember that it doesn't.Thanks for the vid, keep up the good work.
totally. the age of information addiction and instant gratification leads so many of us to search for instantly pleasing results, and so we are easily and happily diverted by so much irrelevant information. making music involves effort, facing up to oneself, patience and ultimately being responsible and accountable for our output. no wonder we sit around and make excuses for not doing anything when we are expecting an instant fix to quell our impatience and distract us from anything with meaning
Thanks for this video. It totally inspired me. I got into music in my 30's and always felt like I started late. I find it a bit challenging for me because of my age, but I'm passionate about music. I started djing now I'm on the path of producing. I'm doing it. I feel like I could be doing more, but none the less I am doing it. Again thanks for your passion and this video.
i subscribe to a buncha music magazines and i'd never gotten this much inspiration from any of them .. is there music life for a 35 y/o dude? .. sometimes i think i'm already too old.
as we all know, those thoughts of being "too old" will NOT serve you well. Cut them out like a cancer. If your music is good, it's good. The challenge is fighting to get heard. The fight isn't any easier for 20 year olds.
One thing I'll add, is that the biggest time-killer in a lot of peoples' life is TV.
You'd be amazed at how much you can accomplish if you eliminate or drastically reduce it from your life.
The irony is when I run into people who tell me that they are frustrated and feel uninspired to learn new things, yet they know the latest standings of American Idol or Big Brother.
i agree wholeheartedly. i think my favourite way to address this is a quote from BT: ''From an anthropological standpoint imagine when we do a critical cultural analysis of this time period...." Timmy, once upon a time people used to plug a box into the wall and sit and look at it. During this time we also powered our vehicles with fossil fuels and to become a starlet all you had to do was hug some nuts and get caught on camera. " Those were the days.
man David, that was an incredible video. I'm with Jean P (although I'm not from the Netherlands). I genuinely admire you and I am proud to call myself your ninja. Thanks a lot for all the help you've given and I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
John

If you think you are too old, you are just procrastinating.
You are making excuses.
Stop making excuses. I will not tell you what I think is 'old' because I'm not going to feed any belief system you have in place around age and music.
You should want to do this even if you weren't going to get paid.

The irony is when I run into people who tell me that they are frustrated and feel uninspired to learn new things, yet they know the latest standings of American Idol or Big Brother.

i agree wholeheartedly. i think my favourite way to address this is a quote from BT: ''From an anthropological standpoint imagine when we do a critical cultural analysis of this time period...." Timmy, once upon a time people used to plug a box into the wall and sit and look at it. During this time we also powered our vehicles with fossil fuels and to become a starlet all you had to do was hug some nuts and get caught on camera. " Those were the days.

very inspiring. great job. I couldn't agree more about the concept of making time. I'm surrounding by people who... "just don't have the time".
