I've been producing for years, and I found this video has still been helpful.

[@Beardqt]

you're the hero we wanted *and* needed, thank you

[@ErikPelyukhno]

You’re one of the few channels I have the notification bell turned on for, since you always provide great information and inspiration!

[@iben1195]

Thanks for reminding me. Let me go smash that bell icon

[@NefariousNigel]

ur such a blessing

[@CG-hj1cu]

I concur

[@athomeinthedark]

Hey man, thank you, I am just trying to get started producing/ composing music, I’ve got a good ear for music, but I never actually learned music somehow. I’ve tried to watch other ‘theory’ videos only to be either bored to death or unable to be on the person’s level- I understood this lesson 100% and I feel excited about being able to learn more with this basis. So, thank you Quick question- would you ever consider doing some of your lessons in logic? I really like your videos and your teaching style, I’m sure I’m not the only logic user that would like to see it. Either way, thanks!

Oscar ..... the gift that keeps on giving. Legend, man of the people

[@setharnold9764]

13:27 thanks for the notation here at the end, if you don't know it, it's hard to even know what to look for. This answered a question I've had for years!

[@aliaksandrilyushenka5597]

Thank you, king 😊🖤

[@Bangers_mostly]

another Gem!

[@straightforwardAcidTechno]

thanks! 💯🎩

[@PabloRodriguezwhyCharlieWhy]

Ableton has something similar for a long time!!!... to teach you how to do basic things on the DAW

[@iben1195]

For the first time this music theory thing sinks in.

[@ArielAfk]

Oscar video idea, now that ableton scaler allows for accidentals that might be a good video explaining what accidentals are and how to blue note, hope You are good, love

[@xavierbakall]

Oscar, isn't the red considered the chromatic scale. Why would that be bad? (Jazz /Techno)

[@KayVilleRecords]

I looked it up, its true, the concept of a scale and intervals dates back to ancient Greece! But modern Chromatic scale is only a few hundred year old, from the renaissance era.

[@DielectricFailure]

The thing is I studied music theory form years on my own but this way is far easier to understand.

[@LuigiElettrico]

That ending... xD

A great side to learn the basics if there's a need for. IMO it's AI, but great stuff And showing this in a video was really funny :-) Thanks

[@diegod1177]

perfect timing

@@BelgianBilly Awesome! Thank you sir

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

The name of the notes at the end is wrong. Only western countries name the notes in this way. Do ray me fa lo ....... Are the original name because of the sound they make and depending on where you're from that can change as well, for example the C should rely be Si

[@Andrew-rz7qt]

In Germany they have a H chord ❤ I think it was the Greek's that first came you with the music scale or at least as it's been written but who knows how far back is started.

[@b00ts4ndc4ts]

@@Andrew-rz7qt is that true? We used to joke about going on a journey to find the hidden H chord. 🤘😁

[@shapedblue]

It’s interesting you only Focus on major scales because most electronic music is made in minor 👀 Not dragging you, love your content 💦💦

[@karinegrandvoinet2038]

Hi gentle Oscar :) we have new Rapides songs ;)
