Learn music theory for writing melodies in 20 minutes

[@Alice-Efe]

Which theory video do you want to see next? and did you turn on your notifications? 😊

[@gurito4374]

What about exploring different genres, like dnb, since making “natural” drum loops is very difficult to get right. For beginners getting the drums right is difficult, for example the track poor Leno has a strangely organic hihat loop. Edit: Specifically drum loop theory, and the different types of drum loops, the difference between a Felipe Gordon type drum loop and something like a poor Leno type organic-but-still-sampled type loop.

[@chickenmadness1732]

Seconded on DnB and percussion in general. How to find the right sounds and maybe edit a drum/kick sound to fit a track etc.

[@nebroskitheraut6705]

I would like a video on Chords and Chord Progressions! A series even, if you are comfortable making it.

[@RahulMehra0361]

How to write solid basslines. please

[@odderik88]

I would love a video on getting the right groove and swing in your track, like for different genre's like techno, melodic techno, hightech minimal etc.

[@AKAtAGG]

I'll continue saying it until everyone listens: hands down the best music production channel on this or any other platform. Doesn't matter if you make techno, house, hip hop, ambient, noise, dub, whatever your thing is - you WILL learn a LOT by watching this guy. Another fantastic, easy to understand lesson for newbies or seasoned pros. 22 minutes you will both enjoy and learn from. Love it. edit: remember when writing melodies, the silence between notes is as important as the notes themselves. EDIT2: please tell me you're releasing the preset at 17:40 or giving a sound design tutorial for that one specific sound. please.

[@Alice-Efe]

Thanks a million! 💖

[@AKAtAGG]

@@Alice-Efe seriously i want that preset tho

[@Alice-Efe]

@@AKAtAGG haha you can find that preset here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpaQfJujq9GIqKc n the cyberpunk example.

[@AKAtAGG]

@@Alice-Efe thanks man you're a legend

[@Alice-Efe]

@@AKAtAGG Glad to help

[@andrewg4740]

This is like Sesame Street for music producers, unbelievable stuff Yalcin!

[@Alice-Efe]

Haha cheers Andrew!

[@DIGITALDISTRICTEvents]

Yes! Really good stuff!

[@Hridayam1031]

This video helped explain what’s been confusing to me for quite some time. Thank you Yalcin! 🙌♥️

[@pixelpsychologist]

As a classic piano player for over 20 years and only now beginning to learn the ropes of how digital music production comes together, can I just say how much I'm enjoying your content? It's such a welcome refresher and you bring it across with such dedication and passion, making musical theory seem like complete novelty. :D Thank you, Alice!

[@acoustically9201]

Hearing you break all this down, it is apparent just how pivotal Depeche Mode were from 1981 onwards. It became more dance orientated but boy did they kickstart a whole range of sounds that are still around today.

[@iagher]

I can tell you put a lot of effort in making these videos. Top notch quality in every aspect. Thanks.

[@Alice-Efe]

I appreciate that! It indeed takes quite a bit of time preparing, recording and editing these videos lately. But makes me happy to see that people enjoying them 😊

[@juliana.2120]

its stupid how good these videos are .literally the best quality you can find on YT. some people should stop paying for expensive music schools and just buy tons of popcorn to watch all your videos 😄

[@deneface7194]

alice, I love your videos, they are so easy to watch and the animations are soo smooth! never stop doing what you doing. even tho i dont consider myself in the same genre as you, i always find things to learn and handy tipps! thank you!

[@barron4755]

Hands down the best EDM Educational Channel on KZbin. Absolutely Brilliant.

[@teogorqui7061]

"Don't worry about scale because THIS IS TECHNO" 😂😂😂😂 Amazing video I was able to learn so much more about melodies👏👏 best teacher💣

[@rosierose8643]

Absolutely love "We don't care about the scale because this is techno." 💖 Coming from a classical music background, this is so freeing and fun to hear.

[@runkle8106]

Man, I enjoy reading the comment section dude😂 you deserve all this positivity 🙌

[@betterfinances-UK]

I've been with production for about 18, months. I've been catching up with your videos. I would say I've learned more in a few weeks, than probably, 6 months. I flirt with different genres and some of the tricks I've learned watching your channel I've used to play with different genres and sounds.

[@DJSunnyParker]

best channel on youtube hands down for music production imo

[@iamdrommer]

I cannot describe the love I have for you enough. You are an absolute genius and consistently provide us all with some of the most informative music production videos. So much of my musical growth came from learning from you!

[@leetatana2679]

I've only just found this channel and my music making has improved tenfold ! Easy to understand , fast and efficient within the DAW and so creative ! Kudos to you Yalcin !! Awesome !

[@bugrabaran2808]

Yalçın your contents were always good, but now with this video editing and focusing on the main idea, I am either learning something or watching a creative music video. Thanks

[@Alice-Efe]

Thanks a ton Bugra!

[@mrsatchie]

Been into music for a very long time and am working with people who are learning and I feel your material will really help accelerate their learning.. Sharing to goodness..

[@sergiobacelar2733]

Master Alice, in your course, you teach this part of melodies and harmonies to create a track, congratulations, I thought the video/class was great

[@TheFY-cb6eb]

This is so selfless, so well packaged. Sensational 🤝🤝

[@volraevo]

Wow! Thanks! I have been enjoying your videos and your ambition to the music a lot. But this is the one that triggered an aha moment in my understanding of music theory. I can’t think of a better way to convey this in a such condensed and well-curated way. Much appreciated it! Cheers!

[@Alice-Efe]

Really great to hear that! And thanks a lot for the tip. ☺❤

[@uber1337miles]

[@cedservay]

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

I love that you used Stimming's remix of "Close These Curtains" as an example. God damn, those chords and bassline will never leave me.

Always fantastic videos. I just wish there were less adverts. "You want a beautiful melody? I got you!... Buy my unison MIDI pack!..."

[@ferez_]

this is one of the videos that helped me the most and got me to that "aha" moment ! I have played piano for a long time and mostly classical music so to make techno well it's different let's say :D Also I love how the editing of your videos is always getting better and better thank you so much for the work you put into every video, I am forever thankful ! ❤️

[@prcption8636]

Glad I found your channel!

[@erayseverge]

Great tutorial, bravo Yalçın👏

[@benjamin-philipproth5877]

The last melody on the video was the best, you should make more like that :)

[@jamalvinily575]

thats great bro keep it up .. can u do a tutoriel about ableton how to make our own king of music like techno and how to exporte your track as mp3

[@T-boyx]

Thank u for this :) it's my biggest problem to find a good melodie Pls. More from this :) 👍

[@sheepkillindog]

I like the advice of Mouse on Mars. You start with a loop, than play it. A lot. Play it in the background while doing dishes, taking a shower. Live inside the loop. Eventually you will hum or imagine melodies and notice all kinds of subtleties in your loop. Patience really helps. Sometimes I throw a bunch of notes into a sequencer then start removing notes. A melody of some sort will emerge. Have fun and remember there are no wrong notes in electronic music. Only varying degrees of popularity. 😁

[@T-boyx]

@@sheepkillindog thx that's great, I'll try :) 👍

[@NoHealerJustPain]

Great! Can you tell more on how use chords in TECHNO? I find sometimes a bit tricky to apply "classical music theory" (especially harmony) to dance music stuff.

[@PavanSibal]

Excellent tutorial!! Please do a track from scratch using some these.

[@chrisboyne5791]

Thank you!

[@octavianstamate1366]

Grande Yalcin!! Cant wait 4 remix Challenge ⚡

[@seasideman]

A nice clear explanation as always, thank you. But I do think the 2 melodies clash pretty badly when played together at around the 17 minute mark.

[@luigideff]

Really well approached and illustrated! Btw your video edit e filming got really great!!

[@Alice-Efe]

Thank you so much! Trying to improve my filming and editing scales for a while.

[@alexfr811]

Awesome channel, gotta say... Hey Yalcin, this a request, pls make a lesson on how to improvise techno like Joris Voorn... I'd most appreciate it... Thx
