btw the beat so fire so bright

[@AvaleriaRecords]

Great!

[@jermainedimitri]

Good video fam

[@jahcica]

yo i gotta question, how much time do you take in between cuts to form those melodies? like you say what you're gonna make and what it should sound like and then it cuts to you recording the chords, i was wondering how long thinking of the progressions takes for you? love the vid btw

[@puggie1000]

That boi 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@xTombou]

can you make a video on sound selection?

[@sihlembita4203]

You need xp for that. You can’t teach it.

[@jahcica]

@@sihlembita4203 you can get xp from being taught lmao

[@costinvaly1]

@@jahcica you cannot. You get knowledge from being taught, the XP comes from actually doing it. The knowledge only aids your way towards higher XP, but it won't replace it.

[@ArnaudKenfack]

@Tombou Actually sound selection is much like casting in the film industry. No matter how good your script is, the movie would probably be "meh" if you choose bad actors. Kind of a wasted potential. So get yourself an instrument range chart, so you can learn the place of each instrument on the frequency spectrum and the role of different frequency ranges. It's basically like in cinema, you cannot have 2 main characters in the same movie, it would be confusing. So, Some frequency ranges for example : 📳Sub-bass (31-63 Hz) = rumble/weight/thump/floor/chest (heavy 808s, noise inside a flying plane, acoustic pressure, hum, etc.) ~ C1 to B1🎹 🎸🌡️Bass (63-250 Hz) = punch/energy/warmth/boominess (bass guitar "meat", kick, 808's tone, etc.) ~ C2 to B3🎹 🚿Low medium frequencies (250-500 Hz) = fullness/room/box/ambience/muddiness (pads, chords, wet reverb signal, snare "meat", etc.) ~ C4 to B4🎹 📞📻Medium frequencies (500-2000 Hz) = honk/radio-ish sound/metallic sound (telephone effect, snare whack, chimes, melody, countermelody, nose, vowels, etc.) ~ C5 to B6🎹 ⚡High medium frequencies (2-8 KHz) = crunch/bite/edge/attack/spike/ssssssibilance/definition/presence/harshness (shakers, snare bite, cymbals and hihats, consonants, treble, etc) ~ C7 to B8🎹 ☀️🌬️High frequencies (8-20 KHz) = Pierce/air/hiss/treble/definition/sssssibilance/harshness/brightness (sweet background noise for Lori and chillout, etc.) ~ C9 to B10🎹 Please, feel free to correct me where I might be wrong.

[@Prod5D]

Guys calm down, every bit of education you get helps

[@YeetoHead69420]

The start sounds like a freestyle lol

[@nikou9999]

I have a question.when organizing the counter melodys when would be a good time for the counter melodys to come in?I been just adding it in the hook and then in the verse no counter melody. It sounds good to me.

[@cliffordmilemba3639]

Dope....

[@leochen1349]

how did you fixed the notes fast and properly after recording your keyboard? or did you just do it one by one?

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

Dang I thought this would be for edm production, but it's for rap beats. Still really useful info; I think any EDM producer should learn how to make a trap beat.

[@adrie8779]

Hi how did you make it so the notes played show up as short quarter notes or sixteenth notes?

[@STTOS]

Really detailed video, help a lot thx Maybe sound selection next?

[@shariquenguyen4945]

Do you have a shortcut video out? I see you pasting notes then hittting something to make them real thin but idk how to do that.

[@Humblegrind710___]

I got a question bro . When you bought fl did you buy the producer bundle and if you did do it come with synths like the one you used in the beginning or did you have to download that separate ? Iv been using logic for about 4 yrs now but I wanna transfer to FL

[@sirpro8219]

I think it has a sakura demo along with fl keys, sytrus, morphine and a couple others or so u can still pretty much use Sakura just Edison your melody once you make it (do this for gross beat demo as well lmao)

[@sonodaplugprod.9931]

Crisp melodies 🎶🙌🏾

how do you create chords?

@@envyral damn didn’t know u could connect a mic to iPhone 🤯

[@sb848]

Chords are harmony.

[@juvnchy]

how long it take u to learn the keys bro?

[@theshinningpearl6755]

Bro Is it allowed in music theory to put note out of scale?...coz i see you doing that

[@envyral]

music theory is just guidelines not rules. You can do anything that sounds good

[@JM-lv9kq]

It says how but you just doin it can you explain HOw LOL please !?!

[@mightbetoad6786]

I'm kinda confused.. How do you know what sounds. notes, rhythm etc. to play for ear candy? I'm sorry but it wasn't exactly explained in the video..

[@ramizdzhavadov1415]

What headset you using?

[@gritgreen123]

Could you do a dark uk drill sample tutorial pleaaaseeee

[@gritgreen123]

[@shariquenguyen4945]

Were you pressing all of those keys at the same time on a key board how the hell 😂

[@tempestional]

kindergartners on smarties type beat

[@eyeveebeats]

what do you mean when you say ear candy? what is it?

[@envyral]

subtle background layers

[@eyeveebeats]

@@envyral thanks man🙏 your videos very helpful

[@tacoman4536]

For a minute I thought this was internet money

[@trashtuber6021]

Wouldn’t really call that marimba layer ear candy, that sounds more like the main melody / chorus melody

[@jupiter901]

Great beat. I hope you will not be affended but the volume of your voice in your videos is low, the music is the correct volume it needs to match, I hope that was helpful. I think your videos are great and look forward to the next one.

[@jermainedimitri]

Fam I can hear him loud and clear

[@bluezy1]

Jermaine D same voice is fine

[@Waverunnerskateco]

The beat is nice and all but this didn't really teach anything though...

[@festy111]

"If I would've had this when I was maybe 20 , I'd be a millionaire right now". Nah that truth is If you work really hard & really care about perfecting your craft you will make it

[@switterbeet]

You didnt quantize those chords on purpose?😂

[@catointros3622]

I really really like your melodies!!! but the drums not that fire, i think you should improove your drums a lot

[@CHANGOxbeats]

how does he know wat chords to play because no one just walks up to a piano and knows wat to play how does one make better melodies all these fl vids just have good click bait but never any good tips "like yea i layed a chord progression like so and blah blah." no hate but i just Tryna learn tbh.

[@hhhhj5831]

You gotta learn music theory And it takes weeks 😭😭😭😭😭

[@chriskaosmusic]

This kids lingo is making me cringe. 😬
