[@SheepUndefined]

A helpful bit of music theory that I kinda use a lot as a wannabe musician is like. Certain notes feel like they "want" to move into another note. This depends on the scale and it's super complex, but you can feel your way through this. If a note "feels" like it finishes the melody or just kind of like, rings out sorta, you can tease the listener by building up to that, and not playing a resolving note until a bit later. Going too long without resolving kinda feels like, crummy, but you can toy around with it a bit. It's kind of like getting a drink of water after you keep dropping the glass and have to go to the store and buy a new glass each time. Way better than if you had just drank it at the first possible chance! ...lot more glass in your feet, though.

As someone who's been writing music for nine years, I'm so glad you added that tip about analysing the music of others to see what you can learn from it. Aside from practicing writing music yourself, analysing others' music is the single best thing you can do to improve. Music theory, in essence, is just the organisation and formalisation of that process through the use of labels for the many different concepts you encounter for better communication and comprehension. Just be careful, because "music theory" is also often weaponised as a White supremacist dogwhistle to uphold centuries-old European music as the pinnacle of musical innovation that all other genres are inferior to, which is utter bullshit. It's good music, don't get me wrong, but so is all that other stuff. The idea is that the compositional practices of this old European music, as labelled and structured in music education systems, have an exclusive claim to the term "music theory" and all other genres are judged on their conformity to these conventions, which is bullshit. True music theory is as diverse as the cultures and genres it describes, and each has its own form of music theory that focuses on its strengths, priorities and traditions. And no one person can know it all. There's no point where someone "knows music theory" because there's always more out there. The best way to cultivate the theory knowledge that best supports your music making is to focus on analysing the music you like to listen to, as that's what leads you to make music you like to listen to. Don't entirely ignore all the other music, though. There's valuable shit to pick up on when you look outside the box.

[@DataPotato]

I.... agree. Thanks for taking the time to write such an insightful comment!

Adding on to the beepbox thing, you can add more channels. This goes for notes or melodies. You can also go into the preferences and turn on a bunch of different settings that give you things like octave scrolling, piano keys that let you see what note you're playing in like you have in the video, and channel muting. There's also different mods of beepbox like Ultrabox, Pandorasbox, and Jummbox that have more features like the ability to add a mod channel as well as a wider variety of instrumentals.

[@eek4382]

As a college student studying music theory, this is actually really informative!! I don’t know about beepbox, but the main limitations in chrome music lab are the lack of instrument variety and that it traps you on your scale. If you want to make something that sounds a little less classical, experimenting outside of the scale is sometimes helpful, because it sounds much more dissonant than even the most dissonant intervals you can get inside of a major or minor scale. But chrome music lab, in my opinion, is the best way to get into music production because of how simple it is for people to pick up and then quickly learn how to make things sound good!

[@DataPotato]

Well I made this video a month.5 ago so I probably won't respond to any comments that aren't questions. Wait, what is this then??? Ok, ok, while I'm here, I just wanna say thanks for saying my video was informative and for giving all those suggesitons! Yeah I agree that experimenting outside of the scale is helpful! And while dissonant stuff can be tricky to get right, it can sound really good! Good luck with your musical carrreeeerrrr and best of luck with your musical carrrreeeerrrr!

[@thatguynamedgeorge9218]

What do you mean Chrome Music Lab traps you on a scale? I'm pretty sure there is an option in the settings that allows you to include all notes (with their sharps and flats) between octaves, as well as an option to change the key it's in. You can also use the Inspect tool to hack it to give you more octaves pretty easily.

[@eek4382]

@@thatguynamedgeorge9218 I could be wrong, I never used it very much but as far as I was aware, you could only select Major/Minor scales and then use notes inside of them

[@thatguynamedgeorge9218]

@@eek4382 Well, there is a third option for Chromatic scale, in case you want the full range of notes. Chrome Music Lab's song maker is only really limited in: 1. The amount of measures you can use/length of the song _(can be expanded through Inspect tool, but is risky since you can't save it as a link and could lose all your progress if the tab is closed out)_ 2. The samples _(both notes and percussion)_ 3. Amount of tracks _(can only have one)_ -4. The range- _(Not actually a limitation, can be easily expanded through the Inspect tool under half a minute.)_ For a good example of how far Song Maker can be pushed, check out the video where someone recreated every Undertale track relatively well with it.

As a beepbox user I can confirm it is so much more powerful than it seems at first

[@Ecliptic-P]

as a beepbox (ultrabox) user you can genuinely make some AMAZING shit with beepbox with the correct skill and determination

[@DataPotato]

Alright, seems like ultrabox is the definitive best mod of beepbox

[@Ecliptic-P]

@@DataPotato you can import custom samples and stuff and it meshes together other mods its really nice

Beepbox is actually really good, thank you for showing me this And it takes midi! I can write the sheet music and then convert it into something with good sound fonts! It’s free, and actually good

Really good advice! Time to make my song "How sharp is a broken mirror"

Now I must hear it.

[@MythicBeanProductions]

The beepbox reveal made me genuinely happy

[@DataPotato]

Hehe me too! :)

I consider myself an intermediate musician but even so, i still consider beepbox/jummbox as being the best music making place

[@ghosthaunted1451]

I think u should also mention beepbox mods like jummbox or paandora’s box etc… Since beepbox let’s u use their source code with no problems, anyone can make their own beepbox mod

The most honest sponsor I've ever seen in my entire life

[@DataPotato]

I dunno, these companies just see me and are like: Wow, we want this dude to sponsor us

To clear up questions about beepbox mods: Ultrabox is essentially a combination of every other mod, with its main selling point being sample support. The other most popular mod, jummbox, has mod channels which I literally can’t survive without, but all of its features are included in Ultrabox.😊

[@DataPotato]

Oh thank you, and bonus points for having potato in your name ;)

I’ve been using beepbox for three and a half years, but because i’ve gone so deep into it I’ve barely touched the FL Studio copy I got from my friend lmao
