600 music track later this is what I learned from my experience. These tracks are all published in production music libraries and hopefully my experience can help you with your success as well!
Thanks so much for these. Great perspectives! Curious how you think about organizing your works in progress in your filing system. For example, I’ve been thinking about organizing work in progress according to genre and or emotions.
Production music in a nutshell. Great video Andrew, thank you! If you are looking for video ideas I would be interested in if and how you use detection services like Tunesat or Trqk and how often you see detections per day/week/month.. Highly appreciate your insights!
Half an hour is what most people can really work concentrated for with music. If you try tuning a piano by ear, this will become painfully clear as the strings start to snap.
Thank you so much Andrew. This is superb advice. This helps me a lot. You made me think more about discipline, and the importance of setting time aside for composition, rather than letting other aspects of life time dictate this. My first viewing of your channel; I’m happy to have subscribed. Thank you again 🙏 🎶 💕
Interesting point about transcribing… I feel that I do not trust my ear enough right now. I find it especially difficult to hear the intervals in chords.
Very interesting video. I have well over 500 tracks with libraries. My methods vary slightly from yours in that I prefer one track at a time but I must finish it more or less the day I start. The following morning I will review, mix and print the final version and then move on. I've also been writing albums and for at least the past four years have completed one a month of about 50 – 60 minutes of music. Most of my work now is with hardware synths but I've also written a lot of orchestral stuff with sample libraries. It can be unbelievably exhausting and I'm not getting any younger – miles past retirement age now. Look forward to more of your videos.
Andrew, this is great information for all composers, weather we are pros or if we do it as a hobby as I do. Thank you so much.

Appreciate that you don't call any and all pieces of music "songs"!
"published in production music libraries" I'd be interested in hearing more on that and the pros and cons.
A very valuable and insightful video Thank you!
Lots of good advice! Btw where can we hear some of your music?
A lot of what you say aligns very much with Mike Monday's advice and methods. Are you aware of him?
Great to hear your process.
That was very insightful & useful! Thanlks, I've smashed all the smashers!
Salutations from grey and chilly Ireland! ☘☮🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮☘

Awesome advice to come back to, often
This is really helpful, thanks!

A rare example of a video without background music.
Thanks, great advice! Your 50 min cycle is like a doubled Pomodoro. I think that's the smart way to hack away at it. Cheers, J
This is sound advice. (No pun intended.)
