Hey there guys, I was wondering what channels you are watching-following in YouTube?
I personally feel all of them are kind of the same sh!t kind of mediocre videos and people trying to edit the videos nicely.

Do you think that many YouTube channels are for the newbies of music production? I feel like all of them are trying to learn stuff to people that are new and have no idea. What do you think ? and what do you think would be best for a You Tube channel?

Cheers

A random selection of some good channels I've seen:

Mike Verta - https://www.youtube.com/user/MikeVerta
The Unleashed livestreams are some of the most valuable material I've seen.

John Powell - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo00fLTBosL4EGGhi164cEQ
He's recently been releasing videos where he switches between his mockups (with midi on screen) and the final recording.

Michael Patti - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvKv40cbSS06Posoc73u2bw
In particular, a couple of gems on compositional techniques:



Jazz Duets - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqimxUbWsE26KSpx2_OcmmA
General music theory (with an emphasis on jazz/soul) and some great videos on ear training and how to improve your inner ear.

David Bruce Composer - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh-PyMficPzVAihCJkFJVAA
Various interesting composition related analysis and discussion.

FilmScoreAnalysis - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk_jzTmW2Fmfnm70c2kZHpQ
Transcribes and analyses film scores...especially those of John Williams.

Daniel James - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCelK8dBKY0Xs5oRI6sJf7aA
Goes in-depth trying out new libraries - when he covers one, you get a pretty good picture of what it can do.

Christian Henson - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXCXxhRVYvBOX45_gxr0iHA
Entertaining content on sample library production, the industry, etc.

Dan Worrall - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQnz5mUTDkGwKvIQ9uyqiXw

Well, since this is off-topic, some of my favorite videos to watch are by the Wynns and have nothing to do with music https://www.youtube.com/user/gonewiththewynns

The photography is wonderful and I just love the actual sailing videos, though the underwater stuff and drone shots are great as well. Very relaxing.

I do like a lot of the ones mentioned above. And Rick Beato. But much of the time I watch walk-throughs of things I've bought, trying to learn to use them.
 
I'm a huge fan of self-tuition of music on YouTube; there's so much information available now, we really live in a golden age for this. Here are my favorites, with my Top 10 highlighted (**):

**Ashton Gleckman (incredibly talented and knowledgable; gives detailed walkthroughs and often provides project files to his compositions)
**Mike Verta (extremely good; interesting and fun to watch; conveys a LOT of information, but his videos are long so you need plenty time)

Guy Rowland
