This is very good for such a short tutorial. I also appreciate how you explain tonal centers, which was a musical concept that bugged me for a while. I could definitely see this helping out people who are beginners with music theory

[@rat_soup360]

This is the first music theory video that really resonated with me and I just realized why. Every single tutorial always tries to teach using sheet music or an actual instrument, whereas you utilized the piano roll. I can read sheet music and play piano decently, but 99% of the time I compose while using the piano roll so this visualization clicked. Great job!

[@JASPERTUTORIALS]

Thanks! Glad it was useful!

It is 0.001 percent of what you need to know about music theory if you wanna be a musician, but the videos goal is to do a brief introduction to music theory and how important it is. For that, this video is great

[@agrand743]

Music theory is one of the most important things you'll ever learn as a producer. I get that you don't need it much for rap beats since they're quite simple but if you wanna do more complex stuff then it's absolutely necessary. Even if you don't venture outside of rap beats, it's still useful as an added skill

[@ashcreekAER]

If you want to make good or original beats, you need basic music theory.

[@agrand743]

@@ashcreekAER I agree but the requirements are a lot lower since the beats are designed with vocals in mind. It also allows you to expand your portfolio when you try producing more complex stuff

[@manuelmakesartz]

I think you can still gain a lot from music theory knowledge even for genres like rap. Music theory is not only about harmony and melodies, but also rhythm. Genres that are based on very consistent quantized rhythms (like rap) can make full use of music theory. And if we consider that many rap songs are vocal based, it becomes apparent that the vocalist should have some proper understanding of notes, rhythm, or both.

[@lexx.wangmusic]

I'd say that music theory isn't important for production. Music Production Focused Music Theory is. I doubt you need to know figured bass, secondary dominance, SATB voice leading, french, German, or latin music terms. A producer's theory book should contain: Understanding tonal relationships Mixing techniques Structure Ear training. This is the theory we need as producers, not this 18th century theory that amounts to nothing really

[@paulolugo7447]

@@lexx.wangmusicvoice leading is pretty useful for chord progressions, especially in genres derived from jazz/blues like R&B

[@kartambient]

I'm an ambient music producer and believe music theory is important. First i didn't care about it and did it all by ear. When you know the theory you can build melodies quicker. If you learn what notes go together and what kind of emotion/atmosphere it creates, you can plan and produce better tracks.

[@manuelmakesartz]

That's interesting, though I'd like to add a bit more to what you described in your video (out of respect for your efforts; the 60 second limit sucks, I know): • The minor scale is a mode of the major scale. Modes are scales that we have reprioritized their tonal center. For example, if in the C Major scale we start from the second note (D), we then have the D Dorian scale. So the tonic note becomes D instead of C, and the tonic chord is D Minor instead of C Major. It goes as follows: Major (C) > Dorian (D) > Phrygian (E) > Lydian (F) > Mixolydian (G) > Minor (A) > Locrian (B) You can do this with any major scale. • Whether a song sounds "happy" or "sad" is not determined by it being major or minor. It's all about context. A more accurate way to describe scales is by how bright or dark they are. For example, there are scales that sound very dark and unstable (Locrian), scales that sound very bright and ethereal (Lydian), scales that are more average in terms of brightness and darkness (Major and Minor) and scales that are in-between (Mixolydian, Dorian, Phrygian). Still, context matters. So don't mark my words.

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

You can't really use Locrian for diatonic functional harmony. It cannot resolve. It's probably why God "rested" on the 7th day because Locrian is Loko and it has a flat flated 5th which is the Tritone also called the Devils interval.

[@johnvermintide]

Finally a producer who teaches music theory

[@jimmi3839]

Reliance on music theory varies wildly from person to person, but the more you know the more time you save. You can, in theory, produce a song with zero music theory knowledge. However, the amount of time it would take to find notes that work with the chords, melody, and bass would be incredibly unrealistic for most people. When producers say you don't need music theory knowledge, they mainly mean you don't need to know which chords sound good together or why. You still should have at least a basic understanding of major and minor keys and scale degrees in order to begin producing. However, while learning this is the biggest jump you will see in your producing from music theory, the more you know the better, and the less time you spend figuring out what sounds good the more time you can spend actually making things that sound good.

[@ProdChunkkz]

here’s a quote from me. “music theory is important because it is made to be broken” what this means is that u should use music theory all you can but if you feel your artistic self breaking theory to make something sound better and more unique to you, then do it. a prime example for this is hanzimmers oogways theme. zimmer used the pentatonic scale throughout the song because it’s what the Chinese used in their cultural music under a different name. but for 2 of the notes, he breaks the pentatonic scale by playing notes outside of the scale. he did this because it just sounded better melodically 🤷🏻

[@JASPERTUTORIALS]

Yes, but you have to know the theory in the first place in order to break it.

[@ProdChunkkz]

@@JASPERTUTORIALS exactly. music theory isn’t too hard to learn really. it’s only like learning the basics to a new language but even easier

[@paulolugo7447]

That’s still theory though, there’s reasons why they still sound good even if you go out of the scale, that’s where modal interchanges come from where you temporarily move to another scale in the same progression.

I wouldn’t personally describe major and minor as happy/sad, but they are commonly used for those tones in a lot of music contextually.

[@Enderblade18]

See I don't get the people what say music theory isn't important. My compositions are literally me putting down notes to see if it sounds like i want it to, but music theory still comes into play, such as chord formation and general keys for the feel. It is absolutely important.

[@JASPERTUTORIALS]

The people who say it isn't important are the ones who don't know it/ can't be bothered to learn it. Everyone who knows theory knows how important is it

For all the people saying staying in the key is enough (I take it as using diatonic stuff only) are missing out on making great music, just look up some of the chords on your favorite songs and use them in different keys that will teach you way more and open up your vision, of course this is a very simplified nice explanation but there is a whole wide world if you decide to explore theory

[@FirstnameLastname-jd4uq]

Major isn’t (necessarily) happy, minor isn’t (necessarily) sad. It depends on so many different things.

[@ksheisty]

This is great advice, I will add though, that in some daws you can set the scale in the piano roll, which will highlight all the notes of the scale you choose. I use Ableton, not sure if FL has that feature as well. I know a bit of music theory through learning sax and piano, but I still find myself locking the scale in to have a better visualizer and improve workflow. Scroll through the options and experiment with ones you’ve never used before, that’s my favorite use of it.

[@nahnvm8493]

Very quick revision, pretty solid

[@ElloGovnaHipHop]

Tbh I think they say that when they make sample-based music. All you need to know is that the key and bpm of the samples needs to be the same. I sample music and it sounds pretty good, not much music theory needed. The hard part is have a good ear for samples and finding creative ways to use them yeah

Musician here! The reason we say it's not important is because you will naturally learn it as you go along. Learning it early on might make people feel like they have to follow it all the time like hard rules. And that's pretty limiting

[@user-do5bu8qz9d]

well but those are "basics" if you don't learn how to draw circle, you aint no ever drawing a face bruh. same here, if you want to go outside of the theory, you need to know the theory first.

Just...don't look at the result of someones input, look at their progress and what they have gone through to get there

Sure, you'll make decent music, there is no doubt about that. But I'd encourage every single musician to eventually break out of it once they grasp the basics and work with them for a while. Staying only in key of a diatonic scale is very limiting in the long term. Imagine not learning how to utilize something so simple yet so powerful as a secondary dominant because it's not in key! I think producers would just miss out on so many ways to spice up and personalize their compositions.

I’m pretty knowledgeable about advanced Music Theory. Here’s what I suggest producers knowing. Circle of fifths and fourths, and Intervals. You’ll be good to go

[@xtremezmc443]

what is that pls explain

[@ayeronical]

​@@xtremezmc443 circle of fifths and fourths teaches you about all the relative intervals and their respective tension and release in all 12 keys. Circle of fifths go like: C > G > D > A > E > B > F# > C# > G# > D# > A# > F > then back to C. This is because respective scales have the note next to them as the FIFTH. For example, the fifth note in C major is G (C D E F G), then fifth of G major is D (G A B C D) and so on. Fifths and the root (first note) have a definitive relationship of tension (fifth) and release (root). Meaning, a chore progression like G > C will always sound tense, then resolved. Because of this, fifths are often referred to as DOMINANTS. Circle of fourths is as important, as it is simply the circle of fifths if you read it backwards. C > F > Bb > Eb > Ab > Db > Gb > B > E > A > D > G > then back to C. Because coincidentally, those notes are all four notes away from their respective major scales. C major to F (C D E F) F major to Bb (F G A Bb). Because of this, they're referred to as SUBDOMINANTS. Because the fourth and root also sound tense and resolved, however much less aggressive as the fifth and root do, thus the name 'sub'dominant. so chord progressions like F > C also work. However, because it's called a SUB dominant, you can also do chord progressions like F > G > C. Making it subdominant, dominant, then resolve. Giving a bit of that good transition with the tension. That's not the only use case of the circle of fourth/fifths, though. There's a huge reason why it's shaped like a circle. Because notes that are the FARTHEST away from each other are the most dissonant when played together, with the ones being the most dissonant are the ones a straight line from each other (for example, C and F# are EXTREMELY dissonant, that combination is called a tritone!) these musical knowledge might seem trivial, but they might be interesting when you're trying to compose music with interesting dissonance. No combination of notes are bad with the correct context. Trust me, music is WAY MORE fun this way.

@@ayeronical Holy shit dawg I absolutely love you, I've been making basic chords, just triads and fifths without knowing what they do, this gon for sure help, I still can't believe you wrote all that for me🙏🏻. Btw what's a Bb note in fl studio, I don't see it

[@ayeronical]

@@xtremezmc443 a Bb is the same as an A# (B flat meets the black key next to A) (A# meets the black key next to B). Flat (b) means to lower one semitone, Sharp (#) means to higher one semitone. Intervals like C to D are called whole tones (or two semitones) while intervals like C to C# are called semitones. This also happens for E and F being semitones apart because in the piano, there is no E# black key, E# is just F. This is why F's fourth note is Bb instead of B, because in F major, it goes like F > G (whole) > A (whole) > Bb (semitone) just like C major goes like C > D (whole) > E (whole) > F (semitone).

I know there'll be some people who are angry you didn't use sheet music to explain this, so I'll just say it: you don't need to know sheet music to make great music.

as a FL Studio user who has no music theory knowledge yet created a track? oh boy.

[@cumeater288]

That's just inefficient and it's not gonna sound that great.

[@MotlatsoMakgamatha]

Right

[@Herl_Shevin101]

me asf using guess, trial n error and chromatic (i guess the keys, try them and not get them right and all is keyless) :

[@flavior0k]

These are not the full scales?

[@steveStonehedge]

Wish I could understand I’m just music illiterate I think 😅

[@sxcry-_-9514]

👍

[@DithanBeatz]

Producers don't say that music theory isn't important. 😂

[@JASPERTUTORIALS]

Search “how to make beats without music theory” and you’ll see a tonne of big producers say it

[@coleburns362]

You forgot the part where you pick notes at random based on how they sound and then spend 3 hours trying to figure out what scale it is before giving it up and calling it the "C# cool bullshit scale" in your head

[@TentacleTerrorMusic]

Modes: *am i a joke to you?*

[@kdahata]

[@cfFragZ]

[@yelimsnusm7551]

[@VexArmin]

[@DarkMusic110]

fl studio 24

[@phoness1941]

you can’t do music without knowing basic music theory at the very least

[@TheFrostyCow]

why would you ever say D# major/minor, like, just why?

[@gregorywilliams2962]

Producers these days, don't even know how to play instruments, let alone know the basic scales. Scales are the most basic fundamental elements to musci, that every so called producer should know.
