[@skummelkatt]

I already have Scaler2 and it is amazing. It doesn’t matter if you are new to music theory or if you already are fluent in it. Scaler2 is like having a producer side kick in the studio.

[@lyricalload4295]

This was SO AMAZING and I hope you're loved, cherished, and celebrated for it!!! 😁🙌🏾✨

[@jimmydekeersmaeker6921]

Looks like a really helpful tool when you need some inspiration. I'd like to try it to make ambient and cinematic pieces.

[@kaiisensee4892]

I had piano lessons decades ago. I absolutly need this tool for creating chords because I forgot nearly everything about music theory and today copy + paste is my special discipline. Your result is sweet mus, LNA.

[@StuttsyDC]

Wouldn’t have thought I’d use something like this but this video changed my mind. I compose a mix of ambient and post-rock and this would be helpful.

[@pacowonderful]

Thank you for this nice presentation

[@patriciaquartet5725]

Great video! I have scaler 1 but I would love to upgrade to 2! This has everything I wish 1 did. I’m going to enter all of these giveaways. Keep up the good work!

[@TANYA-ss6ch]

This plugin is awesome! This is something I knew since the first time I saw it's ad. I would love to use it to create beautiful chill pop tracks ❤️

[@B-a_s-H]

This is one of those tools you never knew you needed. I make classical trance remixes now and then and always struggle with the chord progressions. If I don't win this soft, Ill definitely buy it.

[@djterhinator]

This seems like a fun and easy way to make melodies. I would definitely use it to create some beautiful trance tracks. Hope to be lucky enough to win! 🤩🎶

[@DrWasabiBeats]

great song!...love the vibes!!!

[@ceylon7845]

First of all I don’t know how I’ve made it this far without acknowledging the incredible headbands lol. 👏👏👏 Thank you for showcasing this product as I have it in my library but don’t use much of its capabilities. Great to see what it is able to achieve!

[@alexgess7265]

The Chord progression reminds me of Lana Del Rey's Video Games!!!! I would like to win Scaler 2 as my music theory isn't good and I currently compose everything by ear, but struggled to make chords... I would want to make Hyperpop (A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, Charli XCX) and Ethereal / synthy stuff (like Grimes). Love your vids!

[@mark35mi]

I really enjoyed this. I smiled. 😁learning about Scaler AND Ableton. loved it. THANKS! May 2022 be one of your best years yet!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RodMarconi]

🎼 making House music with Scaler 2 will surly give impression, feeling and great melody’s to my future tracks 🎼

[@Bumper210]

I've quite often struggle with Creators block when trying to start with chords. Love that pattern option which allows to check few ideas quickly! I mainly produce Indie Pop, Nu Disco and Future Bounce!

[@elgaot5]

There are so many music theory vids out there and having this visual cue for each scale would help so much! I'm thinking I'd try to get down with some crunchy blues riffs

[@Studio_musician]

Gorgeous

[@coreymumper2208]

Howdy! I absolutely love this plugin. Honestly jumped to one of my favorites a few days after getting it. I use it for really any vibe im feeling. Its a master tool for progressions and they are doing some insane updates in the future. So even if people dont win they should pick this up. I already have it so if i win im going to give it to my homie. Tis the season and i hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday. Happy Holidays all!!!!!

[@Ronenlahat]

Love it, can’t find enough music theory software, symbol manipulation daws

[@simomzx]

I really need this one, my productions will benefit greatly, the quality pays off

[@imgn8sn]

Love the idea of this plug-in! I own ChordJam which is similar but I don't feel very intuitive and what Scaler 2 looks to provide is so much more of an idea generator and I would look almost excited as you 😄 after building out a base progression and melody to work with! I would use for House, Deep House, Trance genres. Nicely done in 10 minutes and, of course, very lovely new hat style in this one!

[@AkaTengu]

I would be really interested in exploring how I could add more classical elements into my compositions with Scaler 2

[@jamelabanderson4474]

Even though I have an extensive music theory background, this plugin would be great for suggesting new ideas and keep me from getting in a rut of the same chords I always use. Scaler 2 has been on my wishlist for a while. I would use it to make pop because pop rocks!

[@BAD_LUX]

Making my own custom chord progressions with scaler 2 and importing into my Mpc one would be amazing. I would definitely use this for rnb neo soul vibes

[@Carleencoulter]

I think I could have some fun with this. My theory skills are OK and I enjoy coming up with my own progressions, but this seems like it could be good for jump starting some ideas.

[@alexn.1075]

An irreplaceable thing for creating harmonies, I have been planning to buy it for a long time. I'm sure Scaler will help me a lot in the process of writing music.

[@Colinski]

Scaler seems like a really fun tool for quick messing around :D awesome tune as always!

[@Bronwyn031]

No, not just for quick messing around. Once you've mastered it, you will find out just how insanely powerful it is and how it will force you to learn music theory and proper chord progression.

[@jimmydoyle8771]

Seems like a cool tool. I’d use this to try my hand at ambient music. Sooo maybe cinematic genre? Either way it would so useful to come up with chord progressions that I otherwise would t have conceived. Happy Christmas everyone

[@georgefenning4844]

Do you ( or anyone else ) recommend getting the PC version. I’m contemplating getting the iPad version but envisage nightmares getting midi data into my ableton live 11 on pc . Any thoughts or experience?

[@BoyMeetsSound]

Had a demo of Scaler. Such a great plugin. One would luv it.

[@perrymathebula5939]

I don't know what genre I will explore first with the plugin but I am ready to explore all of them using Scaler 2 since it offers a variety of genres to peep at. Anything is possible.

[@MonkeyPuppet]

Noice! edit: I actually started dancing along to, nice quick beat

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Hah thanks!

[@INDAmedia]

Love the beat! Seems like a fun tool to fool around! I'm riding on a Trip-Hop wave lately but I can't think of any reason why I should win this ;) have a nice and peaceful christmas time, peace & love, renato

[@blackman2128]

I've always wanted to have scaler because I think it can open new doors to your creativity, I'd love to have it. I would use it to make some hip hop most of the time

[@djn4391]

Hi! not only a bit of help! it's a great tool!!! love it and would LOVE to win it!!

[@CO-kd6sd]

I think this would help me learn more about scales and chords, which could really help me try different things with my ambient/IDM tracks.

[@AtomikSoup]

I would love to use Scaler 2 to create some high-energy music to kick-start 2022!

[@djmixamatoesis9956]

Hi Lina - Glad to see you are having lots of fun with all these! I'd love to have this for my DAW as some of my tracks are getting pretty furred up - oh, sorry. that's a DE Scaler... Sorry!

[@gh0stransist0r]

Must have tool for every producer!

[@silversulu]

I learned more in this few minutes about how to get up and running in Scaler than the entire SOS workflow vids :)

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

wow thanks!

[@Limpberg]

I started producing music last year in Ableton and after seen this video I think Scaler 2 would be a great tool for me to come forward in my production. It always take so long time for me to find chords that works together and to have this plugin would be fantastic to learn more about music theory. I don´t have a special genre that I do. For the most of the time I find a plugin, or a thing that I want to learn in Ableton, for example to manipulate audio or how the vocoder works etc etc. And then It becomes a random genre track haha. God Jul och Gott nytt år!

[@nikolasgomesf]

music theory is never enough!!

[@BartekEVH]

I need use chords in one key. Scaler is the best for it. Love it!! My music will be rock pop and cinematic. :)

[@thomkoss]

because i need it!

[@jakobus977]

I would love scaler 2 because one thing I always struggle with in sound making is knowing what notes go into which scale. I’ll end up spending 20 minutes trying to figure out what version of what key my song is going for and by then I’ve lost all inspiration to actually make a song. This tool would help me get over that part of song making and allow me to just make the music I want to make. I’m very inspired by the work Animal Collective creates and would love to try and create music similar to them. They’re pretty hard to genre-ize but the closest I could think would be psychedelia/avant-pop/freak folk. Love all the work you do! You inspire me to launch up ableton everyday

[@donit.]

im making trance, so scaler would be really cool for some interesting progressions

[@PabloRodriguezwhyCharlieWhy]

you made me to get it... today..... Thanks!!

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Have fun!

[@trapking5206]

Hi Lna, I have a question. How will you choose the winners of each draw?

[@savx591]

Wow! This could save a lot of time normally spent on puzzling pieces together in composition. I am no theory elf, so some help could be useful!! The genre would be lo-fi, I love making that ❤️

[@arionezbonglet]

Wow I really want this🤩, I've been put Scaler into my whistlist since 4 years ago and not been able to buy it untill now, due to the "tight budget situation" (having kids & wife to feeds)🙂. I love making musics like pop, future bass, trap, etc. Scaler will be very helpfull since I can't play piano (I play guitar a little bit). If I win, this Christmas will be fantastic🎉🎉🎉😇

[@patperez5921]

one of the best plugin for those who can't play instrument definitely needed 😊

[@adrian3098]

But even for intermediates it can be real helpful. Definitely is in my toolbox.

[@ob1quixote]

Gotta say, I have a least three "music theory" plug-ins, so I gave Scaler a miss when it came out. But after seeing this, they all have their good points, but Scaler looks the best for composing.

[@Darqice]

I've read they improved it massively from previous versions. I only started using it recently. It's wonderful for giving you hints on how to modulate to a new key/mode...

[@fireballfireball7573]

Think I'm in love with scaler

[@zpekuloozlysergik9977]

Hell-o ! I would win it for lazy days (and creativity expansion !)

[@tylersteiger4405]

Wouldn't mind winning this because I got 3 kids and need the workflow productivity boost haha. Nice vid!

[@TannerDavies]

I am terrible with theory so this would massively help me make my lofi music!

[@alex_noumi]

Scaler 2 would help me with my poor knowledge of music theory. It's great that there are so many musical genres in it, I think I would try most if not all. It has been on my plugin wishlist for a long time now!

[@howzee]

As a beginner I’d find this plug-in incredibly useful. It’d help my workflow and creativity, while also guiding me through music theory. If I was lucky enough to win, I’d create a nu-disco track. My new year resolution is to make 1 track a month so I can monitor my progress throughout 2022. Thanks for the tutorial, you’ve made Scaler 2 seem like a really useful device.

[@LNADoesAudioStuff]

Congratulations Howzee! I am so glad to tell you that you are the winner of this giveaway! Please email me on [e-mail] ❤️ I will be sorting out all the prizes in the beginning of January. Happy Christmas and Happy New Years!

[@samuelnicolay6460]

I really like this plugin. I would use it to create chords on the guitar in pop/rock songs. That would be great to create a minimalistic song to help the singer.

[@yasminet859]

I would love to receive Scaler 2. I am an aspiring film scorer and this plug-in would undoubtedly help me throughout my journey. I couldn't afford to buy expensive plug-ins since I am just a student who's just starting out. Would be great to compose film music using scaler 2! The song you made in under 10 mins is fire! I literally danced and vibed with you upon hearing the final song!

[@goldmachinemusic]

With scaler I´ve got the big hope to break my harmony-routines and I would try to compose more jazzy stuff. That´s the genre I prefer.

[@rockyAQ04]

Without really knowing music theory it's a pain trying to get the chords in my head into my daw. This would be a huge help. This would be great for so many genres, but I think trance would be at the top for me... or neo soul. I don't know it's just really good!

[@caldrenfitzpatrick3308]

I'd like to try making some soundtrack type pieces - cinematic/classical.

[@BillboardSha]

Scaler 2 is a plugin that I have on my wishlist. I would use this plugin to assist me with chords and counter melodies and at the same time assisting me with staying in Key. I would apply Scaler 2 when making R&B a Hip Hop Tracks.

[@vento99]

I would love to win Scaler 2 because it would give me a lot of inspiration when attempting to harmonise against a melody line. I love the idea of taking one melodic line and reharmonising it, having different chord combinations underneath at different parts of a song to keep the interest high. It's difficult to do manually, and this plugin looks perfect! I'd aim to make prog-style songs with it, might even get the guitar involved... :)

[@youjaelee]

There aint many plugins about chord progressions and stuff, plugins like scaler would help my chord games up! would love to make some rnb musics with that!

[@tervaskantofs]

I need help creating my own Melodys for metal composing.

[@jkaspers76]

Ho ho ho! Love the video and thanks again for all bidden opportunaties I already iwn scaler So if I am one of the lucky onces Than id rather winn something else haha

[@albaeyra]

I'd love this tool. My keyboard skills often limit what I want to play - which means I don't write the song I hear in my head. This looks like the ultimate solution for me. Please!

[@jm6734]

I wanna make music out of all those little stems of ideas that’s just sits idle on my phone. Scaler seems like the perfect tool.

[@jadef1531]

If I had scaler 2 it would help me to improve myself in music theory in a fun way! Transposing songs can be really useful for remixes or set lives as well! 😸

[@elnidogaming]

Hey LNA Does Audio Stuff. Noob question: Can Scaler 2.5 be programmed to make piano music to the likes of the KZbinr "Relaxdaily"? Thanks!

[@jussiriissanen]

Whoop, that was 10 min of genuine suspense there! I honestly don't know why I should win any more than someone else, but if I won, I'd make a song in the key of f# a#∞

[@isadoranmartins]

This would be a great way to have new and different chord progressions ideas! I would make lofi brazilian music with it :)

[@pramodxb]

It will easy for me to make very lush sounding melodic house chords ✌️

[@narajanlive]

Okay, this is the craziest of them all. Amazing opportunity. As my music theory grounds aren't solid, this would improve my general compositions skills and camelot wheele would add to chord progression which would also expand my knowledge. Just amazing! Good luck everyone!

[@Bronwyn031]

Scaler 2 was on sale last week off od Plugin Boutique for some insane amount off. If you want to learn music theory and chord progression then definitely go pick it up. After learning how to use it you won't need it anymore to come up with your chord progressions.

[@narajanlive]

@@Bronwyn031 thx. will check it out asap! :)

[@Basimilus]

Would love to win Scaler 2! I make Dance-punk, angsty electronic music and dabbling in hyperpop.

[@kailas5990]

I think I should win Scaler 2 because we all need a little Christmas cheer with the state of the world right now :( also! It would be great to have this plugin because it would be like working with someone else when creating music. It would open up my production possibilities a lot, like having another head in the room! I'd be so fun to use this for moody bedroom pop 😎

[@pacowonderful]

This cool tool will help me to compose my tracks easily. I have no good bases for music theory and it will be helpfull for me. I will compose house, dance and ambient music if i will won this nice tool. Thank you in advance. Best regards. 😉😉😉😉

[@IanWaugh]

I always appreciate input and suggestions when composing music but my main creative partner, Rex The Wonderdog, is running short of ideas so Scaler 2 would make us both very happy. I would continue making music in my usual Ambient/Techno/Trance.Dubstep/Jazz/Chill/Metal style.

[@lorenzocol4135]

I need it to improve my productions, the quality of what they do is well known :)

[@louislabeur2222]

I'd love to win this to help me out making some liquid drum and bass

[@florisbos1119]

Would love to win because im really trying to learn a lot of music theory. I would make so much rnb with this!!

[@illusionalDemon]

I make hip hop beats & scaler 2 would help me to find chords , since I struggle with music theory.

[@pablohentschelfernandez5824]

I would use it to create a 6 hour long house downer, and that's reason enough for me to win

[@kian_jz]

I would use it to create chord out of it for ambient music!

[@Bronwyn031]

The beauty of Scaler 2 is that once you learn how to use it, you WON'T need it to create your chords. It will essentially teach you music theory and proper chord progressions. 😊

[@sebrilofi]

I want to win scaler 2! It makes life easier, findind chords and learning music theory wont be complicated any more.

[@adammcfadden8955]

I neeeed dat

[@roswithadusa8673]

merry christmas LNA. i like to win scaler 2 because i´m not really play keyboards good .this plugin make easy to create chords and it´s very inspirative to create any musicstyle.i prefer musicstyls edm and pop.

[@Tigga180]

I should win because I need inspiration & this could be my muse. I would make liquid drum & bass.

[@eonsfollower]

Effortlessly make chord progression for melodic techno, isn't it great?

[@JH-rg2ke]

How about a one minute song challenge next? Jk. I have a plugin called obelisk which allows me to play one note chords but I've wanted to get scaler 2 for awhile now to use as a teaching tool to gain a better understanding of music theory and the relationships between melodies and chord progressions. Also looks like it would help level up my bland basslines. I'd also like to try producing some different genres outside of the melodic hip hop i make. Perhaps a house track or a vikingsynthmetalfuturereggaevapordrillwave style song. Thanks for another great giveaway! Hauskaa joulua!!!

[@Darqice]

Lovely! You should do a more in-depth version of this. 10 mins hardly gives credit to all Scalar's features :D

[@JaguarPanda]

To be honest, what came out of scaler sounded like my cat walking on the keyboard

[@mistergratt]

I should win Scaler 2 because thaht would help when writer's block happens. Also I would use it to compose a chillhop song :)

[@MalikAmer87]

your track is beautiful and honestly it would Sound way better if you switch the 1st bass pattern 😜, actually I'm a Little bit good in music theory, chord progressions and melodies , if I win this scaler I'll use it to generate pop/edm chord patterns and for sure I will not use it for melodies 😅.

[@Daniel-mj7ok]

I want to win the scaler 2 because I’m a music student and will be amazing to have better plugging a to take my music to another level moreover I think would make indie pop and reggaeton with this pluggin

[@waynemee2606]

I would love to win this as anything that would help or assist in music theory and creativity would be deeply appreciated.
