thanks for watching guys

[@nickillson]

You keep saying note.. but it's half-notes! ;)

[@rioleyva2002]

@@nickillson in the context of the piano roll i feel it’s easier explaining it like that. i’m not here to teach you music theory, just my process / way of thinking about things, and when i’m cooking up if i pitch something by one i think of it as being up one note, even if technically it’s a half step

[@nickillson]

@@rioleyva2002 I know bro, I like your explanation I was just teasing a bit. Keep it up!! 💯

[@VanityNotFound]

Thanks uncle Rio

[@rudolph1956]

I remeber everyone was clowning busywork beats for his chord codes but I see rio teaching us the same

[@lukasz4781]

Yee😂 next video about same shit and introduction into confusion this kids with „passing tones” which they are not

[@michaelcucchiara]

Yeah this a good tutorial otherwise but that chord code shit is ass, might as well learn music theory as the quality of chords matter a good deal imo

[@diaadrenaline187]

I love my melodies, rio really be putting me on game appreciate you rio and internet money !

[@JAYFULFILMZ]

This was one of the best tutorials I ever seen on FL Studio, Ever! 💯💪🏾

[@kylestrasser4882]

Wow this is awesome we needed this

[@LohPro]

would most definitely appreciate a part 2 brother! always a pleasure to get insight into other producers workflows & techniques. i would like to share 3 little tips for melodies that i've been using lately. (tip #1) doubling the bass or root, into an upper voice, then altering its rhythm, dynamic, adding passing notes, etc. this works because whatever the bass note or root of the chord is, they are the most stable notes in the scale. (tip #2) orchestration; create a chord or progression, then split the different parts into different instruments & across different octave/pitch ranges. this will allow the same chord to be heard, but across different instruments & you can solo/mute different ones whenever you need (tip #3) using the same melody motif or pattern, over different chord changes. this works by creating contrast, as the notes of the melody will function one way over the first chord & function differently over another chord. this creates various amounts of tension & color, while providing familiarity. God Bless! - Loh Pro

[@therealrickjames1983]

💪🏾Salute for this. You are truly for the culture sir. People have tried to explain this but not in such a simple way.

I have been getting back into this for the past two weeks and im starting to understand what you guys mean by if you understand a little bit of music theory thats all you need, and it really is, but if you want my advice from learning so far videos like this and music theory videos in general have made it WAY easier to watch and absorb the information from all of the other producer videos and follow along
