100%. I agree that i dont master MOST of the functions of anything i have. Our phone's. Our cars. I mean, these are things we use daily and we dont know what they are capable of.
Great video!! I agree with all the bad habits aswell... Another bad habit is starting to many projects instead of finishing one.. this one is very hard for me
Definitely another problem I go through. I try to keep personal projects to one at a time and I try not to commit to large projects with clients, rather one-off projects (ie. producing a single vs an entire album)
Elaborating on gear, I think that also goes for plugins. I can't tell you how many producer friends have "plug in paralysis" because of having too many plugins.
In college everyone used to pass around thumb drives with hundreds of cracked plugins and everyone felt like a pro. The only ones that actually went on to be pros were the ones that stuck with the stock plugins and the few they could afford as broke college kids. Coincidence? You be the judge.
great insight, stuff i definitely have been thinking about and needed to internalize but this video helped me wrap my brain around some of these bad habits I know I indulge in. happy 2024 everyone
