Hey guys, I just wanted to clear some things up. I re-uploaded the video because the tutorial and my sponsor (Melodics) kind of contradicted each other. So I removed to the ad because I didn't want to confuse anyone. Mybadmybad
Was wondering why It disappeared when I came back to unpause the vid. I was like NOOO when it said you deleted, but so glad you were just fixing something 😂
A music theory type video for bass lines would be awesome. Bass lines seem to be what I struggle with the most when making a beat. Thank you for everything you do! ❤️
@@ServidaMusic I literally love how you just take care of each and every one of your subscribers. You like and heart ALL the comments on ALL of your videos, you give us the content we ask for and help us do things we struggle with. You're like, the most perfect youtuber. There should be more people like you in the world also you're *_t h i c c_* af so...
@@theR0ck3tsumm3r that's, in my opinion, a bad way to balance a mix. Try k-14 metering, track references. Use the kick as a main element and set everything around that, also do your mix in mono. :)
SlayerDarkRaver I always use that as a starting point! & yes, I mix in mono. :) any extra volume I want from certain elements after I level & eq I’ll use off of parallel compression on my kick & snare
I'm not trying to sound like the entire comment section when I say I am astonished with how you make melodies that I would scrap instantly, sound amazing. It discourages when I realize how much better you and the rest of UA-cam are; then I realize this is my first month of being a producer and that I still have a long road ahead of me. I know you all are gonna hear my name some day because I'm gonna be the best out there. I don't care how long it takes me to get there.
Two useful facts, you can enable your typing keyboard to work as a Midi keyboard alongside a standard keyboard. Also, if you have Android 7.1 and up you can use your cell phone as a generic Midi controller. You can do it in Android 7.0, but it's an experimental feature in Developer mode.
Dude I gotta be honest, I've been watching a lot of videos recently trying to understand these type of things (really new in the music department) and your explanation is the best one I've heard. Really clear and you put it in a way so easy to follow. Suscribed, liked, and will probably watch a lot more of your videos :)
7:05 you actually can. You just gotta use the "g" string fourth fret, that just makes you unable to play any notes on the "g" string if you're not able to hit them on the "b/h" string. Sorry if this message was confusing.
I am just starting with FL Studio and making music. This video is one of the most helpful to me. Everyone I see has an MIDI controller and it felt hopeless for me without one. Thank you for inspiring and teaching.
Hey Servida, I've been producing music literally without a keyboard and just the mouse and my brain for the last whole decade and it's like this video was made for me. Thanks a lot brotha, very helpful !
Been binge watching you and honestly amazing content, some fire advanced stuff and also concise useful tips for people new to FL or producing in general - genuinely love it keep it up man
@@ServidaMusic Hey i checked out orange tree but there is bunch of different names like evolution strawberry evolution acoustic which one is it specifically
Thank you Simon! I really like to work with synths and make it siund kind of "futuristic" in a way, the "robotic sound" can sound really good when doing that. But when I'm making a beat with "real" instruments such as string instruments or piano's, this could really help me. I learn everyday from producers like you! So thankm s for that.
Damn i was searching for how to make a realistic guitar sound in fl studio 12 for atleast 6 months and u showed me how to do it. You are awesome. I love the way You explain things its so easy and in depth. Great jobs keep it up. Edit: some spelling mistakes
Mannnn.. You are Awesome.. This the second video I'm watching.. the first one was how to line chords with Melody.. Everything is perfectly explained.. and I didn't even know what velocity meant.. Thank you so much..
Hey man, great video! In your video, starting around 2:46 (when you are saying "kinda just to have them sustain the entire note length"), after you selected the top melody notes, you can just press Ctrl+L. It will do the same thing automatically for you. I hope this helps. Have a great day!
What also seems to be working for me regarding the piano part is to highlight the melody velocity wise. Basically being intentional with what you're doing. Because if you highlight the melody line for example you can add harmonics on top with a lower velocity (or below the melody line for that matter) Maybe a tad more complicated, but sure fun to toy around with. I.e. I love this little melody line (4/4); G - G - Gb - Gb - Eb - Eb - D - D Kind of an uneasy/spooky feeling You can harmonize it by adding the following notes on top; D - D - Db - Db - Bb - Bb - A - A For the hardcore readers that actually want to do something with this lots of possible chord progressions. Chords change as soon as the note changes. Some ideas; Gm - Gm diminished - Ebm - D Gm - Gb Diminished - Ebm - D/F#
I just subscribed! Your videos are pretty cool. I downloaded FL Studio yesterday, and I really want to learn how to make music. It would be cool if you made a full tutorial for beginners (like me.)
Video idea: workflow tutorial? I find myself making beats and it takes time based on how I’m used to working. You seem to be flying through things, like how you change all the velocities at once, keyboard shortcuts and stuff? Great vid again :)
Thank you, man! I'm kinda newbie in DAW, so it's really useful lesson for me. Especially cuz I work on piano and guitar tracks right now (haven't MIDI in 1st case and it's way too hard to me to play it by myself in 2nd) . So yeah, my thanks! P.S. like your outro so much XD
You are such a great teacher. I was wondering if you could maybe create a video where you go more into the limitation of different instruments as this has always worried me when creating music
A midi control is my biggest habit cuz I like the feel of touching a note kinda like a guitar and not just clicking it into the daw so I can get a feel of the music
Yo I'm blown away by how fast you managed to make such a great melody. I feel the need to leave this comment already even though I'm only one minute in...
Really great tutorial. Something I've been doing for a while. Especially on midi drums. nobody wants to listen to a computer do a perfect performance lol. Might as well make it sound as human as you can.
Thx for another deep tutorial - I kinda expected these advices like velocity change and its randomness etc., but what makes a difference is the fact, that in your tutorials, you actually tell the people WHY. :D I mean no offense to other YT channels focusing on these issues, but in comparison to other channels, I feel like Busyworksbeats is like an elementary school for total beginners, Internet money / Chuki beats / Kyle beats etc. are like high school stuff when it comes to actual practice level, but when it comes to the knowledge and deeper understanding, your channel is like a college for all the additional music theory and thorough explanation of the tips and facts) I hope that in the future, you will do also tutorials about deeper automatization of the track, mixing techniques, specific plugin tutorials or your personal tips on different effects like Love Philter or Harmor or also other tutorials concerning theory behind different hip hop subgenres like "the specifics of aggresive, southstyle trap" / "specifics of grime" and so on :) Anyway thank you one more time, its always valuable to watch your content)
@@ServidaMusic I´m glad you actually read through all of these comments and find time to answer man :D :) By the way, I just forgot to mention one idea for I believe I am definitely not the first one who is trying the grab the wider context of this aspect - mid / side processing) I found a channel called "Masque music" and this guy is describing it quite deeply as well, but I will be very happy if one of your future tutorials would be on this particular aspect of mixing as well (no pressure, just an idea) :D :)
Yo thank you for all of these videos. I've been playing guitar since 8 and been producing since i was 16. These videos still ALWAYS have something for me to learn.
Hey bro have you ever thought about releasing a music theory course? You seem to be one of the only producers on UA-cam that really has theory on lock. Great video btw!
5:12 what button did you press there, I have to what you did manually... Also Alt+r for velocities, thanks a bunch for that one, again, been doing things manually. I'm also assuming mouse wheel for changing the velocities without double clicking into the note group?

Hey 👋 love your vids and the melodics thing was kinda funny. You’re extremely talented tho, keep it up ❤️
I WAS GONNA COMMENT THAT
how do you bring down the velocity down with a keyboard
Nytr0us select the note, the hold alt and use the scroll on the mouse
A music theory type video for bass lines would be awesome. Bass lines seem to be what I struggle with the most when making a beat.

Agreed I can make a good melody but I seem to never be able to Match a good bass line to it
Wow! I’m glad you guys all feel the same way. Looking foreword to the bass lines video 😁
Don’t u hate how Simon just puts some random notes and chords down but it still sounds better then what I make lol
I don't mind
Literally lmao
Actually I’d say it isn’t random because he probably understands how music works (I might be wrong this is my first vid from him I’m watching)
You're like Mr.Crabs except instead of guarding your krabby patty formulur you're just handing it out to everyone for the very low cost of free!
Haha krabby patties are meant to be shared
ARE YOU FEELING IT NOW MR CRAB
@@MarcelAndrian funny did laugh
So the opposite?
A tutorial on leveling a mix.

Your tutorials are the bomb bro. Nice work young star, much respect.

I didn't know that you could slice that way. Thanks for sharing!
The only channel i get so many important informations for better production... ❤
This is GOLD Brother !!!!!
I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time, gotta start using those ears🤦🏾♂️😂
This has to be one of my favorite videos from you! I learned so much!! THANK YOU!

That guitar is heavenly

thanks man this is the only way ive ever used flstudio
That first melody was such a Boss Battle vibe
The Guitar part was really greaat. Salute to you.
If you ever need a midi controller you can download ILRemote on phone/tablet if you have FL Studio and both your phone and laptop on same WiFi
Raghu Nath completely understand... just threw that in there for worst case scenario
he is the OG of tutorials
Thanks. I needed to know how to randomize.
Yo I'm blown away by how fast you managed to make such a great melody.
I feel the need to leave this comment already even though I'm only one minute in...
Once you make enough melodies you know what works!
Thanks a lot man you always have great content and I’ve learned so much already 🙏🏽
Great video Simon! Some solid tips in here

Great Tutorial yet again! You got a pretty good looking guitar for not knowing too much about it lol 🤔
When you giving me lessons though
Lol I like the outro. Tbh, I kinda discovered this by myself just toying around, but it’s still a good video and I learned a little, so thanks.
