Bro, I don't say this often but this tutorial is 10/10. Thats the kind of detail I'm looking for when I look up a melody tutorial. Keep it up man your in your own lane as far as I'm concerned.
12:30 What I try to do is, adjust the velocities manually first. I emphasize the one's I specifically want and then I randomize that to give them a more human feel. Usually, that prevents having velocities that are too out of place.
after watching other tutorials i just come back here..no one else teaches because they love to teach not to fish to sell a pack or course. thank you man. you dont hold back anything
Bro u are so sweaty about this topic. Like most producers are like “just get a feel for it” and you’d like well u need to go up a half a semi tone down by the third but no less than the 5th. And I love it. Ur amazing
The names of the scales come from the places in Anatolia (currently Turkey). All the scales are based on the music that people played in certain areas of Anatolia. For example, the phyrigian scale is from Phyrgia.
they call these types of scales "modes". There are 7 different modes and in the key of C major, every note up the scale is a new mode. C to C is Ionian, D to D is Dorian, etc. Little facts like this change the game but aren't needed to be successful
AYE-OH-LEE-IN (mode) (diatonic) literally a natural minor scale. All those Weird names are subsets of scales (modifications) which means alternate note groupings that sound good together.
I have been producing for close to 4 years, I've dabbled in making my own melodies but they usually don't sound that good. So I sticked to using loops. This tutorial is really good, I've just made my first actual decent sounding melody with it. I hope I can keep it up!
You should do a whole video on how to add bass, following the root-notes of the melody, without the bass becoming muddy. If you should stretch, what stretch to use, envelope all of that, and how not to muddy them up. You went over it in like the 4th or 5th of part of the video, but it was kind of hard to understand lol. Good video bruh...!!
aeolian is the 6th mode of a scale. Modes are just scales based off of a regular key (like E-flat) but they don't start on the root note. When you have a major scale but start on the 6th note, you end up with a minor scale. Basically, if you learn your major scales, you will automatically learn the minor scales.
“I don’t know why they do that” Nice tip bro (Btw its music theory. It’s when you have a scale (in this case the a variation of the c scale) but you start on a different note (but still keeping the same intervals)
3:30 u can also use the scale highlighting setting and choose the scale u wanna work in. This applies to the current version of FL, idk if the old version has this feature
Aeolian is a mode! Since every major scale is as well a minor scale if you start on a specific different key. So A minor is also C major the difference is you started the scale on A instead of C and did the same pattern. Notice the change in emotion? as well your tonic note or chord will change which is the chord that gives you the most resolve or impact in that scale. So the tonic of the scale of C major is “C” and the tonic of A minor is “a”. “Modes” are the starting position in a major scale. Depending where you start will determine what mode you are in. But that is advanced music theory. That and “ the Circle of 5ths” are advanced. Master the basics of scales then chords the chord progressions and Then you can move on to modes and the circle of 5ths. Out of the 16 plus years I have been making beats. Music Theory was by far what gave me the biggest leap in the sound of my music. I wish I studied it earlier. It opens up everything and makes you understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. As well you can pick up any instrument and once you can play a note. You will learn it so fast it’s crazy. That’s why Price could play so many. He knew music theory!!!!!
It may not be as fun as making a beat. But it’s like Goku in the hyperbolic time chamber. You will be a stronger more talented musician. Just take your time and learn it slowly. Play the scale over and over but first learn what keys are what on your keyboard. You should know them with out a map. Look at the black keys and you will see the pattern. Most keyboards start on C unless it’s a large keyboard. The white keys are basically normal letters “A-G” then it starts again. The Black keys are sharps and flats it depends which direction you are playing. The best way to remember is when you lay back your “flat” so backwards is “Flat”
This is so wrong wtf? First off A minor isnt "also" C major, if you played the notes in a C scale starting from A thats not magically A minor you need the g#. God knows what you mean in the bit after that. Modes are not starting positions of a major scale at all they are just another type of scales.
If uou have been making beats for 16 years and you dont know this im worried for your sanity. Also what on earth, learning music theory does not equal knowing how to play any instrument. If i picked up a trombone yes i would be able to know the note im playing but i wouldnt be able to form a melody. Not because i dont know the theory to do so, its because i cant play a trombone.
@@drum877 also the last comment about sharps and flats... flats are flats because they are a flattened version or lowered version of a note by one semitone. Sharps are the inverse.
Aeolian is the 6th mode of a major scale. If you play a major scale but start on the 6th note, you will have played a minor scale. C major = A minor for example. Same key signature (same amount of sharps and flats) but just starting on a different not in the key. A major scale is also known as the ionian mode.
@Chris Engle The analogy would make more sense if the doctor had a grid that highlighted where he should cut etc. That's what the scale helper does. It just shows you which notes are in what scales, why memorize it when you can just chose what scale you want and have it right there for you?
@Chris Engle no it’s very tedious and not needed anyway, its a minor thing and it only takes 2 seconds to Look up and it won’t affect your musical skills. Comparing it to being a doctor is very dumb due to the sheer amount of knowledge and precision a doctor needs to have and all you’re doing is working on music, you aren’t trying to improve/ save a human life
Real shit your the best tutorial channel for beats. Got my shit sounding so much better, and explain things a lot better than most. Worth the wait for the uploads, keep grinding 🙏
Fire video(as usual) 🔥🔥🔥 But I wanted to add that you can humanize your melodies even more by pressing Alt+S - This would open Stumizer, where you can change the start and the end of selected notes by a little bit. This gives us an even more human-ish melody since people can't press keys with perfect timings.
Holy shit this was amazing. I've been spending alot of hours learning all by myself from a scratch and this has by far been the most helpful and clean tutorial I've seen.
Dude, I am liking your vids even before watching them! You opened my mind, my chakras and all that good stuff! 🤯 Thank you for your help! You following that rule of ‘give more than you receive’ and in the end, you’ll have it all man! 🤟🏽💪🏽 best of luck to you and anyone reading this!
Your videos are great at helping me understand music melodies! I am starting to use the information you give me, but the road seems long and hard! (anyone else just getting started?) Thank you for the content you build!
Ur videos are amazingly informative and straight to the point and capture so many details other tutorials don’t. Would love to see a series detailing how to use certain common plugins like RC-20, Serum, Grossbeat, etc, and a tutorial on common patterns in drum programming
a good tip I’ve learn to make your drums hit harder is to mix them in mono and your melodies in stereo. You can do it with that little thing on the mixer tracks, you should mention this in a video
10:38 i don't understand why so many producers are doing this. 1. the lowest note in a chord isn't always the most "dominant" 2. imagine the baseline in a rocksong would just follow the chords, that would be boring as hell
This video worth a million subscribers because it gonna help so many producers especially the new generation and also for those who been making beats from past couple of year... 💯💯💯💯💯

Nick Mira usually starts with his top melodies, some people might wanna consider this. great video btw
Same, ive learnt it that way, building the top melody gives more room for creativeness in my opinion
Its nice to realize that most if not all of these tips I already practice. Makes me believe I'm on the right track! Great video
AYE-OH-LEE-IN (mode) (diatonic) literally a natural minor scale. All those Weird names are subsets of scales (modifications) which means alternate note groupings that sound good together.
One of the best tutorials in my opinion for melodies.
We must protect Finna at all costs.
I'm only in the half of the tutorial , and so far is the best tutorial in the internet . Thank you.

that outro melody/beat is beautiful 🔮 wanna hear more of that

can you do how industry producers mix vocals in the future?
You dont have to remember scales on FL, you can just use the scale helper and chose the scale you want.
Yeah memorization with a daw isn’t needed

Aeolian is the original name of the scale. It became the "minor" scale after scholars dubbed it that way back when, due to its dark nature
interesting

1. the lowest note in a chord isn't always the most "dominant"
2. imagine the baseline in a rocksong would just follow the chords, that would be boring as hell
