Folks on CZcams doing what you “should do” to be successful on CZcams is what has led to 90% of CZcamsrs looking/sounding the same and frankly annoying the crap out of me. I appreciate that you focus on quality and being Jon. Despite what the “experts” say, many of us (viewers) don’t enjoy being spoken down to by an “authority”, told to “smash the subscribe button” and getting hit with obnoxious jump cuts every .5 seconds of the video. Keep doing you! We appreciate it.
P.S. I think this is the most times I’ve ever used “quotations” in a CZcams comment.
Love your channel so much - just discovered it a few weeks ago, as I enter the realm of realizing how much I *don't know* about production / recording myself / etc etc, as I move beyond the world of only doing acoustic guitar stuff. So excited I have so much of your back catalog to catch up with. Thanks and keep it up!
Hey, Jon. I found you in a CZcams search. Yours was a "you also may be interested in" offering. Truthfully, I don't remember the topic of that first video. What I do remember is subscribing inside the 2-minute mark (I've never done that, I'm a very judicious subscription guy). Then, after having watched another half-dozen or so videos on your channel, I compelled my wife to watch a couple with me. Afterwards I told her that I want to be you when I grow up. Now, to be clear, I'm well beyond any pretense of a mid-life crisis. Mine is a crisis of transitioning from a career into retirement. It's still a couple years out, but I've already begun to dust off long-dormant passions and I'm spending much more time with things I enjoy. Things that make me smile and feel that the world really is a safer, kinder place. Please keep doing what you do, just as you're doing it. Couldn't ask for more. Oh, except maybe another album available on Spotify. We listen to Paper Trail almost every night as part of our relaxing routine. Good stuff. Thank you for being there. And, thank you for being real.
Congrats on the 25K! I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. I’m so glad you discovered this form of self-expression.
Thanks for paving the way, David. I've taken plenty of inspiration from you and your videos.
Fantastic video Jon! Congrats on the new camera. The shots are amazing in this one.
Hi Jon. Congratulations on reaching 25,000 subs.
I'm a 65 year old guitarist living in the county of Cheshire, UK. I've been playing guitar since 1973 but although I've played many a paying gig, It's never been my main job.
The only reason I'm saying anything about my background is to maybe give you some idea of the real reach of your channel. Please don't change anything and keep up the varied work
Well done, Jon! It's important for everybody to ask yourself: How do I want to spent my lifetime? What does really matter for me? Most people don't think about the fact, that their lives are limited. Something bad can happen to you and suddenly your life is gone. Therefore, we should do all the things we really love, and making music, dealing with music production, sampling etc. makes so much fun! For you and me and thousands around the globe this is the way we go.
Yes, yes, and yes. Raised my hand during many of these points pastor. “I see that hand…”
You took the words right out of my mouth 😊 500 subs here and counting. Way too many things on my list!
Jon ... don't remember how I found your channel ... but I can tell you ... there's non better for substance, production quality, and incredible music talent than you share with us ... this video hit me exactly with the message you shared ... you are on a different level of both talent and insight in understanding the essence of music ... if you ever need encouragement, know there's a musician in SC that receives energy and experience from you videos ... watching you I am MORE aware of possibilities because you in your journey make them a reality ... you are a treasure ... thank you for taking the time to share the "real" person and music pursuit you brave ... I'm very thankful!!
Jon, I probably found your channel scrolling through CZcams looking for music studio setups. And a lot of what you say in this video hits me pretty hard. I've been able to make a living from CZcams for the past 4 years, but I suffer in a similar way in that I have tons of interests and I get itchy to do something different. CZcams doesn't like that, so I've seen the growth of my channel slow to a crawl. I'm back to making regular videos but I still want to find a way to change the narrative. I think I'm a few year older than you, but it sounds like our backgrounds have a lot of similarities. In a lot of ways, what you're doing with music is the road not taken for me. I went from being in a band making records and trying to get over the hump to make a living at it, to grad school for creative writing, teaching creative writing, and somehow...CZcams. Didn't think CZcams would be the thing, but here I am. I realized once I went full time that I had to find some way to make what I was doing sustainable and that's been a challenge. I want to bring music into it more but that's hard, too. I don't know exactly how far to go and not lose everyone who signed up for simething different. What you're doing, sharing your experiences and thoughts on what you do and how you do it, is very attractive to me and I hope I can find a way toward doing something similar in the future.
All this is to say, "Thanks for the video." A lot of the time watching your videos feels like I'm talking to someone I've know for a long time and that's a rare experience here. Congrats on the success of the channel!
I susbcribed to this channel... Because There are so many common things that you talk about that I'm either going through or have been thinking about. So many similarities that i've found in the way that you are and think and your approach to music... and your heartfelt expression of how you are moving through this world as composer, I found that to be so profund. Thank you Jon FOr your COntribution. you rock fam!
This really really reached down and grabbed me. Love your candor and authentic approach. More of this man. More of this.
Congrats on 25k subscribers, doing great work, being real, and continuing to earn a living in the ever-changing landscape of the music biz.
The variety of your videos is what makes your channel work for me. Please stay as you are now and continue with the broad variety of videos you create! Thanks, Jon!!
Thank you for bringing us into your world.
Love this video. So inspiring! I started regularly creating videos about a month ago! And I’m loving it. Get inspired by watching videos like yours.
Congrats on 25K HUGE! Love the thoughts, we can all relate~
What can I say. We feel ya. I appreciate what you do.
Great introspection, Jon!!! 🙌🎶✨️
Congrats on the 25k Jon - very well deserved
Thanks for all you thoughts. Your timing is immaculate! Just as an idea/question starts to form in my mind, you seem to give a relevant insight. Again thanks for that.
Congrats on 25K, Jon! We love what you do. I'm so thankful for this channel and what it's brought me.
Beautiful video Jon, congratulations on the 25k. I come to your channel mostly for your outlook on everything, although I do learn a lot.
Individual Video hits on a subject is one thing, but I think people subscribe to get your take on things and to feel a connection. I think you've got the mix just right.
No te rindas sigue luchando 💪
Perfect
Keep on going Jon, thnx for all your stuff I really love it and you DO inspire me!! grtz from the Netherlands
0:55 -- I'd really encourage you to keep making videos on topics as they appeal to you and not feel pressured to focus on one topic; the diversity of this channel is one of my favorite things about it. I know what you mean about the pressure, though. I teach at Georgia Tech, and wound up becoming an accidental CZcams as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Most of my classes are on analog electronics (like my Guitar Amplification and Effects class, and my Analog Circuits and Music Synthesis class), so CZcams has a model of my audience associated with that. This summer I'm teaching my GPU Programming for Video Games class (which I love teaching), and each time I post a lecture for that I lose subscribers. :(
Hey Jon, I Discovered your channel at The start of COVID. I love all of your content and all of your topics. your video’s are deeply inspring. And i never want to mis one of your story’s. We even Watch The same youtube Chanels. I am an graphic design teacher in highschool in Belgium. And a hobby musician. And your content got me to making and producent music again. Keep up The good Work!
I really appreciate you sharing. Means more than you know.
As someone who just started putting out videos, I really resonated with this. I recently quit my band and sold all of my live gear to invest in a camera and lighting. Love seeing your influences from Venus theory to Danny Geviritz. We share more than a few in common :) you have a unique voice on this platform and it’s incredibly inspiring. I’m looking forward to whatever content you make moving forward! No matter what it is, you’ve proven it’s going to be quality.
Love what you're doing, Jon. Continue doing what makes you happy! Congrats on reaching 25k! Here's to 50k. Also, that new camera, combined with the smoke and your impeccable lighting, looks absolutely tasty!
Your vids are awesome...keep em coming please.
Beautiful and inspiring video, made even more touching by the beautiful soundtrack. I came across your channel while watching a video that mentioned your softdrum. Your performance playing the instrument in the video was entertaining and fun to watch. I started following your channel and have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. Keep up the great work; I wish you all the best!
Great video as always. You hit the nail on the head with "Lots of us out there with similar issues" and thats exactly why i think youtube is by far my most frequented channel for consuming media. I lear a lot, and i feel more connected to "Friends" whether they know i'm here or not. Congrats on the 25k subs man, you deserve it!
I like your video not only because it's a great video with an awesome soundtrack and image quality but also because it's the first time that a great video fits perfectly in my ultrawide screen ! Great video and perfect ratio ! 👍
Ha! I went for it this week. I have the same screen dimensions!
This was a lovely video man. I'd really recommend two artists called Last Days & Hammock. Your music really gives me their kinda vibes.
Congrats to you on hitting 25K, that's no small feat! What I love about your channel is the strong sense of sincerity in everything you do and say. It's such a simple word, but the qualities that make up true sincerity (being authentic, transparent, generous, and staying true to who "you" are) are becoming more and more in short supply these days, it seems.
The idea of being spread too thin is very close to my own mind these days, and it can often be a real struggle, but it's comforting to know I'm not the only one.
So many other familiar faces in that montage, too - other folks that I also follow on CZcams - and lots of unfamiliar ones that I'm sure will cross my radar at some point in the future when the time is right.
Anyway, thanks for all you do, keep up the great work, and above all have fun doing it. All the best to you from here in Memphis TN 🙂
Thank you so much, Nigel. The non-musical faces in the video are from the filmmaking side of CZcams. Danny Gevirtz, Peter Mckinnon, & Jake Frew were the ones I featured.
@@JonMeyer Great, thanks, I'll keep on eye out for those folks, too. Also, big thanks for the program you did over at 52 Cues on sampling with Kontakt etc. I really enjoyed it, and found it inspiring and helpful 🙂
Jon, thanks for everything you do. Your channel is an inspiration to so many of us. Congrats on 25k well deserved. Keep it up and thanks again!
Definitely. Bellisima.
This video hit home for me like no other. All the feelings of being a music producer you're describing I deal with as well. The long hours.. The obsessions.. Striving for perfection.. The countless rabit holes.. The endless youtube journey and often "distraction".. The self-discipline it takes to get going every day again while navigating all the self-talk.. Etc. Etc. What I truly love about your videos and particularly this one is your authentic spoken voice / message combined with the very nice cinematic feel. I just subbed to your channel. Keep it up and thanks for inspiring others!
Thank you for the kind words, Rick!
Let me just throw out there that Soft Drums are how I found you and they are a lifesaver for me. Very much enjoy your content. Thank you.
Jon I find your channel to be entertaining and inspiring. I actually live not far from you. I’m one of those that want desperately to create a channel that connects with people. Unfortunately, I am also one of those that feels like my personality doesn’t match my skill levels. I’ve put off creating a channel for many of the normal reasons…mostly that music/tech is so saturated and that I am not the best presenter on camera. However, those reasons haven’t stopped my desire. Been in the tech business for 30yrs while in the music and photography side hustle for even longer. I have a mixing/mastering home studio space that I spend entirely too much time in and want to do more. To be honest, I’m just rambling here which is basically the story of my life at this point. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your channel and wish you well. Perhaps we’ll cross paths one day. Take care!
Thanks, Andrew. I certainly understand the part about being stuck in the studio. It takes effort to see daylight!
What a beautiful video and an even better message! Which yes the struggle of being a content creator is real but it's so worth it even for what it pays. Like it allows me to contribute to our human society in a way I could not on my own. Which I found your channel though your what makes music amateurish video and you have crafted a nice experience and community here something that no number ganintees so thank you and your most welcome!
Congrats on the subs Jon, very well deserved. Nice track behind this video, I'm inspired to try something similar myself. Super grading on this video too by the way - and I really like the fog machine.
Glad I found you, John. The diverse subjects are largely the reason I subscribe to you channel, stick with it. Here's to the next 25K!
Dammit, got something in my eye. Thank you for this, and all the other stuff.
Congratulations on 25k!
I have watched almost every video you have made and have been inspired, informed, and motivated to continue to grow in my music.
Recently, I have been diving back to my roots to look for different perspectives on what I already know.
This resonates so hard with me. So glad I’ve found your channel. Your production is 👌🏻 on all levels. Wishing you continued success and satisfaction. Thanks for the inspiration and comfort.
Thank you, Stephen!
I’m new to your channel and I have to say you come over most of all as honest, sincere and modest. I really like what I’ve seen and think I can learn a lot. Like asking a friend.
Congratulations! Great video. Definitely understand where you're coming from!
Congrats on 25k! Yes, that is absolutely the feeling you give me with your videos. They are super inspiring and motivating.
You make the videos I wish I had the time, equipment, knowledge, and skills to make. You have one of those channels that when I discovered it, it was that moment of “oh man! He’s doing what I feel called to do, he beat me to it” if that makes sense. Not at all in a negative way, but a very inspiring way. I’ve had that same feeling with certain artists, composers, and producers I’ve discovered. Absolutely love your style of videos. I love the intimacy, the honesty, and most of all the cinematic story telling. Absolutely love it, thank you for what you do.
Congrats on the 25k! I love your channel, always informative and entertaining. I feel like your video work has become just as good as your music which is an extraordinary accomplishment.
I'm learning a lot from your video's but the best I get out of them is inspiration from you as a person. Please keep making these little gems. They make me want to work on my own creations :)
Hi Jon. I think you need to get out and be around people in the real world as a natural part of your work life. I am in a job alone most of the time and it is not healthy if you are a social person. I am currently planning to move office to be a part of an office collective somewhere. To me it sounds like loneliness in your job situation is causing burnout symptoms which can certainly feel like a crisis in one form or the other. It is dangerous though if not addressed. Love your honesty and your channel. Best wishes.
Hey man I'm sorry to bother I just wanted to say thanks. For taking the time to teach us today on 52. For your instruments (which I use constantly now). For your your videos which I have gleaned so much from. This isn't proper sentence structure but I had a long day. :) Thank you.
You are so welcome. Enjoyed chatting with the 52 Cues community. Dave is a great guy and I'm glad to call him a friend.
Hey Jon, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making your videos and sharing your thoughts, motivation, inspiration, question and everything. You've helped me to think about music differently and inspired different approaches. So thankyou for all you do 🙏
Thanks Jon, your vids are inspirational thanks.
Jon. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your vulnerability and being honest enough to say you don’t have all answers. That’s kind of refreshing these days. Means we can figure it out together in a shared collective way through this channel. Love your homespun folksy style again refreshing vs the glitzy overproduced style of many other channels. But what does come through is your dedication, passion and integrity. Thank you 🙏
Congrats, Jon!
thanks. i have watched it a few times now and it hits me in the right places.
Jon. Your channel and music are pure art. I respect your quality of content.
Keep it going
Jon - As a brand new subscriber, I only have seen your most recent productions. With that in mind, I think whatever you're doing right now is very resonating and reaching new people. Keep it up! By the way, this video was beautiful. And those cameras were clearly worth it!
Jon, you and your channel have really inspired me to really pursue my music even further in hopes of maybe some day doing what you do. So much so, that I just launched my own channel and released my first single. Thank you for all you do.
Jon, this really hits home for me. I just want to say that I really appreciate your videos and I love the cinematic feel u put into it. And congrats to the 25k sub. You deserved it!
Kudos on 25k, grateful for your push with my own efforts and also very happy to have had a few of you out here showing the frustrations of losing oneself down the CZcamsr "career" hole before I get too far down that path. Taking it very easy over here while also trying to do this in a pro way. I appreciate you and your work ethic on this stuff, the effort and investment is not lost on us and I know I'm not alone in this gratitude. Thanks, Jon!
Beautiful piano piece Jon!
Really appreciate you, your work & your honesty Jon
Yeah man you’re good at making videos! You’ve inspired me, taught me things, and provided interesting things to think about. You’re a positive force
Firstly, Congratulations on 25k subscribers. I know it’s taken a lot of hard work to get here. To the next 25k 🍾
Personally, I have always been more interested in the person, what makes them tick. I am always more interested in my friends health and welfare than them as musicians. A genuine interest, not just a polite how are you.
That said. I love the mixed bag I get from watching your channel. From making short films, using a drone, to compositions/scores. You are an extremely talented person and multi instrument, musician. I always feel inspired after watching your videos.
Thank you and regards from distant South Africa.
Congrats achieving 25k subs JM. I appreciate all the effort you go to. Here’s to the next milestone 🥂
Congrats getting to 25k, I've been steadily growing my channel and with my bachelor's degree finishing. I've been wondering about the direction to take it into. The way you do videos and explain stuff has really helped, especially production music as that was what brought me to the channel. I use your video 'you don't know what you need to know' as part of my dissertation, because you were able to convey something that I was going through, and a lot of artists go through. You inspire me to get better at using my gear and get better at making videos. So, onto the next milestone!
Beato works hard..but he has a team behind him. :) I notice many of the older Nashville cats.. they play a singular ...but professional role. That's maybe something that's wrong with the scene today - to make you spread so thin. I did that many times - but you should lock into a groove that enables you to shake off some of the unnecessary weight.. we all know a challenge feels great.. but we do have to be logical about what challenges to take on. Good on you for expressing that - looking forward to more content.
Love it!
1:10 Oh yeah.. I can relate. Trust me 😅
As a musician, I've felt that the requirement to spread too thin is a symptom of collaboration culture. Working in non-music on long-term projects with diversely talented teams showed me how powerful teams are...but I do not see this happening at the ground level of music. Established musicians may team up (or established CZcamsrs do collab videos), recognizing a win-win trade is available. But for musicians getting started it's like herding cats to get collaborations going. So when you can't count on anyone else?...you spread yourself thin to cover all bases.
This may be the most beautiful thing on the internet today. I watched it twice. the video and audio were great and edits seamless and flowing. Excellent top quality work. You definitely make we want to create so thank you for being an inspiration to me and so many others.
Hey Jon, I discovered your channel recently. I just want to say I really like your videos. I was drawn by the music production ones, but I haven't yet seen one I didn't like - so I happily subscribed. Your delivery is very engaging and you have some great info to pass on. Congratulations on your milestone, and I fully expect to see those numbers grow and grow...
thanks a lot man
You're welcome!
Keep up the good work! Endurance is a large part of what we all do, and need to do. Riding those times which are hard frees up a future.
I'm here for the music, you could easily get away with this format, showing you play some meditative americana stuff, and your reflections on top of it. I enjoy the styles you do. Try spend less time on the editing, image quality and stuff - that is not very important, so you can dial it back to the essentials, enabling you to create videos more spontaneous, imho. Congrats!
What’s the new camera??
Welcome to the human condition ;)
