awesome but the music in the background is distracting

[@djcontour]

I’m sorry my friend. I didn’t want it to be just raw dialogue the whole time so I out that backing track really low. I’ll Keep that in mind for the next video to try and make it more viewer friendly! I appreciate your input!

[@cesarbarbosa4109]

Same, i rather just listen to the raw tutorials.

[@djcontour]

@@cesarbarbosa4109 thanks for your input as well! I’ll definitely considering this while making tutorials in the future!

[@robertodagostino9203]

Same. The background music is really annoying

[@djcontour]

@@robertodagostino9203 thank for your input. Per everyone mentioning this, I stopped putting background music on the types of tutorials like this one.

Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it!! We’re you able to find what you were looking for in this video?

[@gioba4912]

@@djcontour Yes, I found "freedom of expression". While I'm learning music theory, I could be playing/enjoying it by using your method.

[@djcontour]

@@gioba4912 I’m glad to hear that! I hope you can progress quickly and enjoy the process!

[@erikrivera5946]

just finished music theory 1 in college. this'll be extremely useful for me

[@djcontour]

I’m glad you found it helpful. A little tip, if you have an iPad, you can now get this plug-in on it in the App Store as a standalone app. I love it for browsing chords or finding progessions when I’m away from the studio! Are you going to school for music production?

[@ShoNakanoVtube]

really simple but very useful video. I just started with music composing so this helps a lot.

[@djcontour]

I’m glad you found it beneficial! Thanks for the support! I’m actually currently filming a video on the numbers system for building chords so I hope that will help as well! What DAW did you decide to start with?

[@ShoNakanoVtube]

I'm using FL Studio@@djcontour

[@simplicityd8703]

When i read the title i expected not to be taught music theory 😤😤😤 Jokes aside great tutorial :D

Thank you for the support! I’m really glad you were able to benefit from it!

[@mathiasandersson2195]

Very helpful and well made/explained! Good job!

[@djcontour]

Thank you for the support! I’m glad you found this video useful! Fell few to let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see in a video!

[@cosmin1803]

Amazing video, it's really helpful! Also, I like how you explained everything. Hope you'll grow as a youtuber because you deserve it! Thank you so much for your work, I am so thankful that you appeared in my recommendations.

[@djcontour]

Wow thank you very much for the kind words! I’m glad it as helpful! Are there any other topics you’d like to see covered? Also I have a how to Lofi melody tutorial coming very soon if that’s something that interests you! I really appreciate the support and hope I can continue to help your music journey!

[@cosmin1803]

For now I am just trying to find my style of producing, anything is really helpful. I'll be sure to watch your next video, for now I am just going through your old videos and trying to practice.

[@djcontour]

@@cosmin1803 I really appreciate that! I’ll have a lot more content coming now that I’m back at this! One thing that helped me a lot is to learn your daw inside and out. When I was starting out, I would try so hard but I didn’t even know how to use the tools I had. If there are books on your daw, I highly recommend getting one. That changed everything for me. Next I would focus hard on the kinds of music you want to produce. When you’re listening to those types of music, do it very critically. Try to hear all the components and understand the role of each sound or instrument. Let your favorite music and artists influence your flow. Also, don’t sweat it. Just do your thing. If you have a bad studio session, it’s ok. We all do. Stay positive and keep trying. Don’t focus on perfection, focus more on consistent improvement. If every track or beat is better than the last one, that’s growth at its finest! Do you have a specific genre in mind? I’m sure I can give you tons of tips!

[@djcontour]

@@rezypeace I can definitely do that! If you’ll bear with me, I have a few videos that I need to finalize before New Year’s Day. But I can definitely after that! I’m actually planning a whole Ableton course that I plan on uploading all at once as well. I’m hopeful that series may interest you too! I’ll be releasing some free packs and a paid producer bundle of preset racks to accompany that!

[@orrinbynum5978]

Hi. There seem to be some very interesting information in this video but, the music in the background was not a very good idea when you trying to make a beginner learn how to make chords. That very thing made this video a bad idea for someone to try to save if they were trying to learn something important. I am not trying to be negative but, the background music defeated the purpose of making this video. If you take out the background music, this might not be a bad video.

[@djcontour]

I appreciate your input. Numerous people have mentioned this so I’ve decided to not be putting background music in my future videos. Thank you for helping me make better videos for everyone!

[@Jonas_luz]

Woww amazing video! Thanks, help me a lot 👍

[@djcontour]

You’re welcome! I glad it helped! Thank you so much for the support!
