Start to Finish songs type youtube channels:

Bound to Divide (Melodic House)
https://www.youtube.com/c/BoundtoDivide/videos

Dash Glitch (Psytrance)
https://www.youtube.com/c/DashGlitch/videos

I found them more useful than tips and tricks type tutorials.

 

Youtube is full of amateur shit. Better to watch stream videos from professional producers or engineers on twitch

 

There are only a hand full of channels I could recommend:

Michel White's "Mixing with Mike" channel for in-depth plugin reviews
Dan Worrals channel for more insight on technical aspects of digital audio
Reid Stefan's Channel – because he is the realest Puppet in the game!
Zozilla the great – I like his approach for testing plugins
Slynk – For production interesting techniques. He uses Ableton which I don't use, but he is skilled
Music Tech Help Guy. For Logic Users.

 

Over simplified... But good principles to implement... Just this video... Havent seen the whole channel

OLD Pensado's Place before his disgusting manager sucked him into being an endorsee/add whore.... Producer twitch streams, Youtube channels like Music Production Streams, Sol State, Musical Streams.....

 

Bound to Divide is from PML, as boring and amateur as Yalcin Efe. I would not suggest learning how to make electronic music with these amateur guys, bravesounds is right, better pay and get quality with proven successful producers.

In the pro world there's only one criteria: being a successful artist who already has top releases under their belt. Anything else is just noise, or attempt to steal your time/money with amateurish, sketchy contents.

 

You wanna learn the process or get entertained?

What the hell this even means? "Proven successful producers".. Do you think all the people who watched Deadmau5 Masterclass are successful producers now? it's not like you watch a high priced guaranteed success marketed fancy masterclass from the industry's top producer featuring most famous & numerous fancy looking plugins and going to learn everything..

Nobody knows what song is going to be a hit one. Nobody can teach you that.

 

Agree, There are youtubers who copies twitch streams into one youtube channel:

Musical Streams

Music Production Streams

Thank you @Ankit for your sentences and opinion.

Why then always number 1, the charts are in the hands of big industrialists and do not represent the real spectrum of music. Isn't it enough to produce a song that comes from the heart and moves something and that you have fun with. You can torture yourself for years and then end it with burnout.

The best thing is to learn something like a job. If you want to become a carpenter or car mechanic, YouTube videos are not enough, you have to learn and practice for 3 years to have. Then they are still not no masters. If you have a lot of talent and love what you do, you will surely be successful. In reality there is always little talent.

It doesn't get any better if you buy expensive equipment and use the latest A.I EQ. If you also have learning difficulties and difficulty concentrating, that won't be a career as a musician. For some people, music is a great hobby and for others it is the purpose of life.
Some questions in this forum: Which instrument and how did he do it, from minute 1:18 in a YouTube video.

That means that the musician is not able to come up with something himself, but he makes use of the creative power of other creative people. It is then a copy and not the original. You could say that many people are copies of other people. You can post the stolen piece, of course, and sell it as your own. This is just self-deception.

In search of likes and recognition, you burn yourself up, and what you get back is dissatisfaction and frustration.
Make sure you understand what the internet is and how it works and acquire media skills. If you can see through that, you too can become a content, happy person.

 

I like Greg Ondo. Very humble yet full of knowledge, answers any questions.

 

I had to look first - is he credible? Yes

He has worked with many high profile clients including Microsoft, NPR, Electronic Arts, Hans Zimmer, BT, Stevie Wonder, Peter Frampton, and Phil Ramone.

I don't listen to EDM and mainstream commercial music, so your references are irrelevant to me. Yes you will learn a lot more in your niche with the best from that niche, rather than from any random amateur guy on YouTube or some fancy "Deadmau5 Masterclass" indeed.

 

What premium tutorials you are talking about? Name some.

 

I'd like to recommend Paolo Di Nicolantonio aka. Synth Mania, he makes great videos about older stuff and playing techniques.
