Create KILLER CHORD PROGRESSIONS with NO music theory or keyboard knowledge.

[@callumclarke4949]

Yes more in-depth would be great help me out and if you could go into the players as I know this adds to this

[@MrAliensix]

I second that :)

[@SoundFriendly]

Cubase is just the best DAW on the market. Period. Love it. Great video once again.

[@IroLidorikioti]

I think that knowing music theory can give you a lot of freedom when it comes to music creation but this is an excellent way for people that are not familiar with music theory to be creative as well! Well done Dom! Great presentation as always!

[@DomSigalas]

Iro! That's exactly the point! Learning music theory is always a great idea but if you don't you don't need to be limited when you want to create the music you have in your head :)

[@ipoponq]

@Aziri Alain I couldn't agree with your statement. You're might be limited to music theory as well and your head won't give you something very interesting if you have 0 creativity. Speaking of myself, I love composing without even thinking in what key I am, for instance. You may even come up with an idea, tone or melody in your head and then help yourself with the arrangement using theory or tools. Furthermore, when you don't feel that way but still have to make music required, then musical background as well as modern tools may help you out a lot. Sorry if I get you wrong. But of course just mindlessly dragging chords without a good sense or what so ever are doubtfully gonna lead you to something good.

[@ric88keys]

@@DomSigalas I think theory and 'head ideas' feed off each other, making the overall experience enriched.

[@ric88keys]

Definitely, the more theory I studied, the better my ideas became, the better my ideas became, the more I wanted to study. If taught or learnt in a practical way, theory doesn't have to be boring or difficult (I've heard others describe it as this). Instead it is like a door opening to a more fascinating musical dimension.

[@TheCubeMusic]

Yes would like to see you write a whole song with chord pads !

[@benhughes2355]

Yes please. More in depth, maybe touch on modulation. Also, the settings for the chord track, how to constrain the range of notes (some of my vst's require chord input within a certain range which the chord track regularly strays out of) , etc. 👍🏻

[@alainpatry]

I come here because not only will I learn something but I also know you will make me smile. I love how you don't take yourself too seriously! :)

[@TheLordGU]

One or a couple of in-depth videos on Chord Track (and Chord Pads) would be highly appreciated! As far as I am concerned, your point re getting creative and finding progressions one’s muscle memory wouldn’t let discover different, more interesting options is absolutely correct! And getting ideas for points to start using tools like that beyond the points one ends up just playing around with it would be both, helpful and inspiring. That said, yes, please share more on this (and your experience), thank you very much in advance!

[@rasolzamini8678]

Yes, please more in depth videos about chords

[@composingtips]

The Cubase Chord Track (and chord pads) is probably the one reason why I'd never switch to another DAW. It's stellar.

[@SwanSycorax]

I wish someone would explain how to use this in the way an absolute beginner can follow. This is the facility I most want to use but so far have totally failed to get the chord track to trigger an instrument selection. There must be something glaringly obvious that I just can't see!!! Any advice would be gratefully received.

[@der_vur]

@@SwanSycorax I don't know if you still need this as the comment was made 1 year ago, but basically under the name of the chord track you have three buttons and on their right a selection field. By default is at "Use monitored track". If you click there you will see all the other VST tracks you have on the project in this way you can select which track will have the chords triggered by the chord track. I hope this helpful if not to you anymore to somebody else passing by :)

[@patlecat]

This is an excellent in-depth look into those features in Cubase which you almost never find online. Give us more much more of that! :)

[@billb7823]

Been a jazz drummer and guitarist (ear player) all my life and at 55 yrs old am thoroughly enjoying FINALLY learning so many things for the first time simply by watching Dom's videos. So thankful!

[@ThomsenTower]

More on Chord Track is always welcome. For example, a focus on the many voicing settings that are available in Cubase, and not often explained. Thanks!

[@KMcGovern-x6z]

Thank you so, so, SO much for this segment. I'm a songwriter but not highly proficient in any instrument. I hear the complete chords in my head and spend hours on end finding them on the piano. I'm just about to join the modern world and buy Cubase and all the regalia-- and now I can't wait!!! I'm binge watching your tutorials because they're so well presented and your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you again!

[@whenwetalkpodcast1293]

You are saving people money with this one. I posed the question on Instagram about using the midi packs because it’s a flood of adds on KZbin about them. Grateful that you took the time to make this video. Writing a whole song with chord pads would be neat to see!! Thank you again!!!!

[@EnventProductions]

Really liked the video thanks! I never took music theory and for some reason there's not a great manual for cubase. You're helping me so much after years of stalling

[@markanderson9995]

Oh my gosh Dom....It's nearly 4am in the morning and I've only just found this !!!!. This is fantastic !!!!. LOVE that Vibrant EP plug in. Yes please to more in depth chord tutorials !!!!. Thanks again, Great work !!!!

[@thirukanesh4286]

Hi Dom your lesson is really amazing and the way you teaching is great to understand better!! please do continue as well... Thanks Dom

[@djjuno106]

Massive thanks Dom for this video..I’m having problems with my hands so can’t reach chords I used too do and was lost using chord assistance in cubase this had helped massively..

@@DomSigalas Thank You!

[@DEADLINETV]

This is just the tip of the iceberg! I just love when you have your chords down, how a instrument track can follow the chords or scale(s) and you can just solo away! Or easily transpose the midi that you get from the media bay (patterns and stuff) and how they easily transpose to you chordtrack. Even creating harmony voicings is a breeze using chord track! So yeah, do another video and talk about stuff like that and the stuff I haven't found or figured out yet!

[@TheDrumhead54]

This is awesome Dom, It opens the door to creativity! You can do more in-depth study of this that would be greatly aprecciated!!!

[@jocelynjosssheehy2970]

Would be interesting to make a video about Chords Track as it relate to a string ensemble arrangement (violins I, violins2, violas, cellos) or a string quartet. Dom, why don't you give a shot? That would be very useful.

[@annother3350]

It's possible but the most realistic way is to use divisi, where each part of a chord is played by a different instrument, as in real life

[@jbognap]

It would be nice to know more about the adaptive voicing of the chord pads and how to adjust it when it gets away from what you wanted.

[@ArshadNiaziArshad]

Don't know how long I was looking for this type of tutorial. Thank you very much, Ustad Ji. Stay blessed. Greetings from Pakistan.

[@jenshaberkorn7777]

And again: Your tutorials are so much better and more musical than the Cubase tutorials that I bought for a lot of money. Keep it up! The advertisement for midi loops was funny ... ;-)

[@maloycastillo3473]

Great video Dom. Yes I would very much appreciate a more in depth look into these features. Keep 'em coming.

[@KaseyChiu]

Please keep going deeper and deeper. There is rarely to see video about this topic! Thank you

[@lX-NDR]

what i think is very underated in cubase is the chorder midi plugin! when you play those preset chords also with one button of your midi controller and then train your ear with single notes too match those chords then you really make easy progress to understand these kind of stuff! good work dom!

[@ValeriaIsTheOne]

Thank you Dom!!! I’m learning a lot about Cubase thanks to you. I am very very veeery thankful as it is really hard to find good Cubase tutorials. KZbin is full of FL Studio and Ableton, but there’s not much about Cubase. Please keep doing this!! You are doing an amazing job.

[@Rich7714]

@12:04 Using "Assign Pad from MIDI Input" (by right-clicking on a pad) I've found that the chord pad feature can cope with basic, diatonic chords patterns, but it doesn't play back correctly when you try anything more complicated, which is a big shame. So, you input a chord, & it plays back correctly the 1st time, but then after playing a different pad, then returning to the original pad, it is now playing a completely different set of notes that it was outputting originally.

[@studiotime6671]

The best intro on KZbin!

[@sanjaycolaco]

Thanks Dom, for this easy to understand tutorial. I understood it 100% - because of your pace and your clarity.

[@LaughterOnWater]

Thanks for this explanation! Even if you do have a small amount of music theory under your belt, it really helps to have these tools to play with options!

[@AvikMukherjee]

Dom man you're amazing. My music theory got more enhanced and being a drummer with no keyboard background it was tough, but you made it really easy for me to compose now. Thanks a lot man.

[@AdrianEarnshawMusic]

Great video as always Dom. Always amazes me the bits of Cubase that I haven't fully explored. I consider myself quite adept at music theory (post graduate level) but I would certainly love you to do a more in depth tutorial 👍

[@LeChapeauMusic]

Yeah i loved this video. Cubase is the only one that comes with a chord plugin. I am currently using REAPER, where i work with Ripchord that is free.

[@gilax]

And the guy asking if we want more on the subject. We don’t want more we NEED more !! I think this the the 40th time I’m thinking to myself that I missing the point with this chord echosystem. Andy made some, Greg made some on this subject and Dom will do the very last work we need for feeling definitely fine on cubase chord track. Hey steinberg, don’t forget to double his salary

[@sirjabbers9437]

I've been trying to work on chord progressions and learning the circle of fifths for a while now, and this video just made it all click suddenly. Ive been using Bandlab, because when I first tried cubase I had almost no knowledge of what I was doing and it was super intimidating. But if you make more awesome tutorials like this, I may reconsider. It definitely seems like a more comprehensive and powerful tool for music composition.

[@yams900]

Great work my friend ! Happy New Year by the way. Please expand more in this subject. For example, use of Arpeggiator or if the chords can be rhythmically, like in my Yamaha PSR-SX950 keyboard/arranger. I think my arranger could trigger those chords in Cubase.

[@guitashmurtz4772]

Thank you very much, great video! I vote for a more in-depth video too, please! Many thanks again.

[@andrewbetinsky5596]

Don't forget that it will also tell what chords you are playing on the Keyboard. If you don't have music theory and you play a chord that you think " this sounds great" but don't know what it is, the chord assistant will tell you what chord you are playing.

[@KillaMahanie]

Thanks Dom! Another usefull video on the chord power of cubase. I now a bit of music theorie already but when it comes to the different scaled options like: ionic, doric, lydic. etc. Has cubase an option to integrate these different scales or only major and minor? Thanks again!

I've been vocal editing by ear and site with shift key and I would love to be able to snap to a grid that starts on 432hz. IS THERE HOPE FOR ME?? MANY THANKS

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

I hope it can also do passing chords & also replace regular chords to jazzy chords by analyzing the melody. Hope there is a plugin for that .
