this comes as i am struggling to put down 4 root notes in the piano roll W timing

[@rlyBeats]

glad we can have your back king 👑

[@kodobeatss]

@@rlyBeats ong thank you

[@cyberklutzondabeat6226]

0-3-7, 04-7 .. thats all you really need to know, but you gotta build your root notes first, and then figure out whether to go minor or major i never listen to them while i build, i usually think in my head.. depending where the first note is place, if i want to go happy or tense, i usually like to start happy on a minor scale and end with tension so it actually stays in the minor scale, then from there build the top melodies(this is where u shine) chords are the easiest part of a song , your soul and uniqueness will usually have to be on this section, and it's what sets apart the boys from men , good stuff man, youre def getting better at getting more unique

[@rlyBeats]

thanks king 👑

[@theunconciousmind7314]

😅 true but the scales bro xD

[@southsidemilly414]

Man u make it sound easy and I be wondering if a more numeric approach would help me memorize what go with what..I Def ain't got the hardware that make this shit as easy as it look on here, been trying teach myself best I can watching yt about music theory and chord progressions and what keys go together, n for all the time I've watched I still be lost lol. I'd say the "Root notes" like the first 4 I do be sounding good but when it come to layering and and then doing the lil shit like he does in the video, wit all them small ones n all that extra shit i be lost, but practice make perfect I guess. I was always just a rapper wit a ear for beats, but I've been trying teach myself how make my own shit using band lab for now, n have noticed a huge difference from the shit I had first made, to what I can put together these days, I could actually spit on sum this shit here n there, but I still be using them samples n shit n mixing my own shit into em, n I feel like that cheating, I wanna be able really create my own sound..it be frustrating not being able to translate the beats I have in my head into the Daw. I stopped writing like I should n recording because I been grinding try learn this producing n then mixing too..Engineers/producers Def don't get enough love lol. I be lost asf n going by ear most da time shit I wish I woulda took the time to really go school for the shit n learn all the technical shit but I was too caught up in the streets n the studio was just the spot til that shit fell apart n having a daughter I had stopped fw wit the music all together for 5 years atleast

[@BrainBeats420]

Good call. I usually start with that kind of progression with bass notes then place each note at a time with each moment of the song and tweak each note one by one until they all fall into place and make something interesting. Keep tweaking every not you don’t like listen back a bunch of times and do one note at a time and take your time. That’s what I do.

[@laner4195]

for an 8 min video this is gold. There are hours long tutorials that make this too complicated for no reason, just to flex. Love it, thanks!

Hey brother. I just found your channel, and I’m digging it. I’m an older rocker, but I can see some carry over between our styles. I’m more into real drums and sounds, but the melodies you chose here are very similar to the music I like to write. So I’ve subbed, liked and commented. I’m looking forward to hearing more of your stuff. Great video, man. Very instructional, I love it. All the best bro.

New to the channel and new to production. I love your videos. Is the tope-line the melody or the counter melody? What notes should I use in a counter melody? When I put my melody on a different instrument do I take any of the notes from the chord progression or keep them separate?

Was the background music necessary?

[@Jake_Drifter]

If you don't use background music, the video will feel quiet, try making a tutorial video, you'll understand.

[@2HavicMusic]

word this deff helps man! thank you! one question is, i saw on the 3rd bar it was a minor chord(atleast in the beginning) as 1,2 & 4 remained a major. how do you know when to do that? & is it bad not to do that?

[@rlyBeats]

i think you may be confused as the first and third chords are minor and the second and fourth chords are major. however, sometimes it can be good to go between minor and major chords, but theres really no rules to it, using your ears is what works best and seeing what chord would sound how you want after the first chord

Excellent video, I'm interested in your sauce essentials If I buy it, can I make any genre with it. I'm a beginner in learning to make beats and have been learning how to use fl studio Signature edition with the Arturia 49 key essentials. would this kit help me?

[@rlyBeats]

i wasnt the one who made that kit, however, it has some great stuff to learn from. some good drum sounds and some great midi files to use for drums and melodies. if youre looking for something more though, i am working on a big kit with presets, oneshots, drums, midi, and more. in general though the sauce essentials kit is more trap focused

@@irahamilton632 im aiming for early june, but for courses tbh i feel theyre a waste of money, all the info you need is free on the internet, theres a grind component that no one really highlights tho, cause you cant just learn without applying yk ? like you can learn the form to shoot a basketball and all the technicals, but you wont be good at it until you practice a bunch

Bro how to add filler note in chords that don't feel weirdo

[@Keta040]

i always feel like that if i add too much notes and variation to the chords and melody in general that the artists dont have enough room for singing/rapping, which is hindering me a lot rn... also for the past few days ive had a melody block, really frustrating

[@rlyBeats]

honestly space for the artist can always be carved out but usually chords wont impact that too heavily

[@Effortastic]

[@rlyBeats]

could you explain some of the things you struggle to find in fl ?

[@Elenasn]

@@rlyBeats hmm sometimes I feel like making the melody sound more kinda “under water” or more “flat”. If that makes sense. I also know that it’s possible to adjust the sound of singe note or chord with curves (or whatever it’s called in FL), but I have no idea where to even find that window. Basically, I would love to see more material of technical opportunities we have in FL. So if you are looking for more ideas for content (or for a video editor lol) - I’m always here with endless questions 🙃 I love your channel and your vibe, it’s gonna get huge💥
