    I love that advice! "If I think it sounds good, then it's correct - even if I did it 'wrong'." Don't let other people's opinions keep you from making music!
  • @thisismisero
    Omnisphere sounds great, but to be honest: Whenever I open that thing I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of sounds. The paradox of choice I guess.
  • @adityapadode
    This is such a killer advice. It reminded me of the advice from ira glass for creative people and how important it is to stick to your taste.
  • @BrandonShere
    Glad he talked about Omnisphere! I remember I was scrolling through sounds in Omni awhile back and stumbled across the exact synth from his song "The 90's"!
  • "If it sounds good, it's good!" I heard that advice in the first studio I ever entered. The producer was working on a song that sounded killer and his kick drum was a literally a trash can he had recorded with his iphone. He had also just turned down the opportunity to borrow a $10k mic from his label to continue using his $700 Rhode mic he was familiar with. He kept saying "if it sounds good, it's good. If it sounds good, it's good!"
  • @TeddyLeppard
    He's right. In terms of art where everything is subjective, having a point of view is your biggest asset.
  • @Bgoods
    a lot of times when I see good artists speaking on craft, it becomes pretty clear why they became successful. Finneas always just seems super clear-headed.
  • He is surprisingly very down to earth and humble. And these tips are so critical even though its so intuitive.
  • @cwestmont
    He and Billie are wise beyond their years. Warms my heart.
  • @rayb3000
    I needed to hear that actually. Thanks!
  • Brilliant advice--heeding one's own personal taste and running with it, despite any potential naysayers. This has served him well, which makes his point even more wonderful. Thank you for this.
  • @onetwo3088
    You have a great podcast! Can you make full video version on YouTube? My English is not really good, but I can understand a lot more with subtitles! Appreciate your work!
  • @GUiTERtUbE
    I’m so respect to this man especially on his solo work even more than Billlie’s production. He has the sense to arrange and communicate even beyond the native English listeners
