#musicformedia
The real work of composing music for media takes place long before the first note is recorded. I’ve written close to 1000 production music tracks. Along the way I’ve developed a 5 step formula that fills my brain full of ideas to fight off the dreaded writers block.

Great advice. It’s very helpful to hear you discuss the nuts and bolts of music production. It can be so difficult to talk about art and why something is successful, especially when we as artists have our own tastes and interpretations of what we find to be “good” or “effective.” These tips you are giving are fundamental to the process, and help to build a foundation where the artist can then find expression on top of those pillars.
These are so useful to me Jon. It's a mindset that doesn't come naturally to me but putting myself in the position of the editor really helps.
Good discussion, tips and well presented .
This is really exciting advice! Also, I can't wait for all those shirts to drop in your merch store…
Some really good tips in here. Thank you. Love that effected piano… Almost sounds like a hammered dulcimer.
Nice and systematic! 🎶👊😎
Awesome stuff!!!! Lookin forward to seeing you at the conference!!!
Man, I love you
Excellent video, per usual. Thanks for all that you do Jon!
I can write the music, that's not the issue. I have trouble with mixing. Would be great if you done livestreams mixing one of your tracks for commercials or made a part series about it.
Hey y'all great video! Love the way that flute ties it together. Thank you!
Do you make all the music you use in your videos?
I cant believe there are so few tracks in a piece that feels so full…I usually get stuck adding 20 more tracks than I need to. Very inspiring…
Nice!
