Re: Music Theory I think this is an issue of definitions. As soon as you start applying patterns, you are in some sense using theory, so I don't see the point ignoring the most free resource you'll ever get. It doesn't matter if you call the major key chord the "squiggleblob finale" or something, you understand that there is such a thing as a resolution to a particular note and a particular chord with particular characteristics. As an addendum, if a person has a sincere interest in making music, I have to question that sincerity if they're not willing to be curious about the characteristics of their favourite music. The first thing I did when I got an electric guitar was to learn metal, and that immediately led me down a path of learning scale theory. Like, why wouldn't I? As much as theory is frequently framed as the opposite of emotive sincerity, I don't believe this is the case at all. A willingness towards theory is a willingness to better one's own knowledge. And, it minimum, it's really hard to communicate with people when they don't know the intervals of, like, the major scale.

@@ivansoto9723 in my opinion it depends on how mathbrained you are, and whether you want 2D or 3D. if you can manage linear algebra, geometry, and some basic trigonometry, learn a coding language. otherwise, try visual scripting or something less dependent on a coding language. if you want to learn coding while making a game, gamemaker and godot are wonderful choices. the most important thing, in my opinion, is to fully understand the code you're writing and why it works. the skills and concepts you learn with one coding language will transfer over to any other. however, if you're more concerned with making a game, and don't want to get bogged down by learning how to code, the visual scripting in unreal engine may be more up your alley. in the end it's far more about choosing an engine and language and sticking with it rather than there being one specific catchall. if you want me to tell you which one i think is best for beginners, godot is probably the best all-rounder engine that is 100% free and good to learn with.

The goal of making a melody is to make a pattern that people will remember your song for, or at least that's what I feel it is. A melody can be as fast as you'd like it to be, but make sure it's still slow enough for people to be able to hum in their head. This was a super awesome and informative video btw 😁

Saying music theory isn't required is like saying perspective, shape, and color theory isn't required in art. Technically it isn't required you can totally just compose and I think some people put too much emphasis on music theory sometimes, however, yes you can just compose or draw and you will eventually get better. However by getting better like this are you not just learning these concepts of theory by composing for example you are using chords aspects of harmony even bassline and melody all of these concepts are just music theory. Learning music theory is just a faster and more stable way of learning these concepts, you can kind of think about it like giving someone the tools for a specific task that greatly boosts efficiency while also giving you complete control and direction over your music, after all you can't control what you don't know.

I agree completely. My point wasn’t to negate the importance of music theory but simply approach music how I and many others approach certain mediums. When I was learning to draw my approach was “just pick up a pencil and mess around” which personally was more fun. Sometimes when you add technicalities to things it can make the experience boring. But it’s also about the person!

@@orithekidd As for approaching music yes then it is probably the best to maximize enjoyment and commitment rather than learning as much as possible however if you do end up loving the craft learning the craft more should not detract enjoyment or at least you should find greater returns in enjoyment after you have learned theory. It can differ from person to person though I do think at a certain level almost everyone will reach a plateau if they do not learn theory or have knowledge of it.

I've heard that the best method for learning Music Composition is to give yourself creative limits. They are like writing short stories for a writer; or lifting weights while exercising. Just look at the Zelda games, they had built up a suite of motifs over a long period. Or to quote the Art of Composition: "The fastest way to learn composition is to memorize small fragments of music, and then learn to change and combine those fragments in very specific ways. The process of changing it, actually forces you to understand it."

That’s honestly how I got started (since Toby Fox is the reason I wanted to learn music) I think when starting out it could be hard to come up with motifs or even anything because it just seems so new.

I think a good way to base your battle songs when starting out is on megalovania. It has the opening, the mid section, (or the “go” as I call it to get my brain in the right intensity for the song), and a bunch of different calmer parts in the middle. A memorable melody could be anything. In the case of Omori, there’s literally only three notes played in the white space theme. It can be anything from long sustained notes to literal 16th notes on a page. In the case of sellout, one of my songs for my game its main melody has no chill and blasts listeners with an extended version of the characters motif. Motifs/leitmotifs also good to use for game music purposes. If a recurring idea is present, you would use that ideas motif. There’s actually a musical motif called the Dies Irae that is featured in multiple songs pertaining to death. It appears a few times in Frank Ticheli’s Vesuvius, and if you really want to get technical, a good few hundred times in carol of the bells. Video game music comes easy to me for some reason. Somehow just casually made 3 full length songs in a single day just last week. But that’s mostly because I used motifs. So if you want to make a good battle song, it would help if you started with a motif, such as your game’s motif or a character’s motif and expand it from there. Undertale used motifs a lot, and a good example of this is in the battle theme for asgore, asgore, the motif from heartache appears and gets its own dedicated section of the song. If anyone reading this finds this confusing, sorry, but here’s the two main things you should look into: Motifs Memorable Melodies

First off I love the detailed comment so I will return the favor! When starting out I basically just tried to recreate Undertale songs from ear (and various other songs that I love) to try and emulate the sound. I honestly think copying (but obviously not taking credit) artist that you enjoy is the best way to learn because you get to work with something you love! As for Omori, I REALLY have been trying to emulate the way Pedro Silva makes music but oh man they are on another level that I think it would take me quite some time to get to. Omori has tons of simple but memorable melodies that have stuck with me well after I completed the game. On the point with letmotifs, I think it’s important to establish strong motifs because it could help you expand the world that your music sits in, but I also think for people who are just starting out it can be too much for them to focus on. An example, when I was first starting out I knew Toby Fox used lots of motifs so I made songs with the SPECIFIC intention to have a motif. But all it did was make the song writing process a nightmare. Anyways, that was a long comment, but I appreciate the detail you went into with this!

I'm a self taught composer and have made some awesome music over the past few months but still have no idea how piece together chords in a meaningful way. I have basic music theory knowledge (chords in a major scale as well as constructing major and minor triads) but I have no idea how you learn to combine different chords and make up new ones based on where you want your melody to go other than spending numerous hours with trial and error. If you have any advice or resource recommendations on how you learned how to use chords so beautifully like in this video, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!!!!

Honestly a lot of it comes from just trial and error. What I normally like to do is find songs that a want my song to sound like a study the progressions in those songs before trying to make my own version of that song (if that makes sense). So sometimes I’ll take a progression that I already know and just modify it to sound right with what I’m currently working on. Sometimes I also just take basic progressions (like 2-5-1) and just adjust them to the mood of the piece I’m currently working on. I find the best resource for learning how to make your own music is honestly KZbin because someone out there has made a song in a style you want to make. Sometimes I just look up “waltz piano tutorial” and study it if that’s the kind of song I’m making. I hope this helps even a little!

It’s a mixture of different soundfonts from video games I like to play! I mainly use the SGM sound font and a lot of my drums are either the cave story or sega sound font!

Ah this is a great question and really it comes down to “it depends” I personally leave my music to be open so that anyone and everyone can pick it apart and use it, but some people also go through publishers (like distrokid). Maybe I’ll make a video discussing that kind of stuff!

@@zloboslav_ Oh gotcha! Then my best advice I can give (at least through a comment lol) is make LOTS of music and put it SOMEWHERE. You can then use it as a timeline and portfolio of you musical work and then message game devs directly. I find that looking for people who are in game jams, searching through twitter, or messaging directly through discord is the best ways to make some money. It isn't easy, but it helps get your foot in the door. Bigger companies want to see you have experience so it's important to start small and use those experiences for a portfolio. Hope that helped a bit more!

On theory, do or don't. Don't half ass it, you dont need phd levels of theory, but you do need a fuller understanding to not get constrained by the few things you know, rather then actually understanding how it works and exactly how crazy you can go while still adhering to theory or "how to break the rules" cus i learnt a bit in school, but just enough to get bogged down by it and the meoldies and chord progressions i wrote during that time got very boring. whiles before that with my music knowlage being understanding the diffrence betwene a major and minor chord i made a lot of weird crap, but alsow much more interesting things.

That’s also how I learned animation! I put a lot of time into properly learning and didn’t half ass it and then did my own thing after words. I want to do the same with music but I only have so much time on my hands so I decided it’s best to just mess around in the beginning stages!
