@senjychannel Hi, bandlab does not support plugins but on computer you can use plugins with bandlab's other free DAW, Cakewalk (how to install coming soon) 😀👍
@statdefender54 Hi, chords are made up of 2 parts... The Root note and the harmony notes. E in your example is the Root note. The harmony notes are set by the chord type... One type is the chord Major, so for example E major (normally just written as E). A major chord has two harmony notes... One 4 semitones higher than the root note and one 7 semitones higher than the root note. So E major is E, Ab and B. Another chord is Minor (E minor is normally written as Em). A minor chord has two harmony notes... One 3 semitones higher than the root note and one 7 semitones higher than the root note. So E minor is E, G and B. As a guitar has 6 strings usually some of these notes are played on more than one strings... Over the next few months I will be adding quick tip videos for each guitar chord.
@@IbandUK Thank you so much! So how do I determine which key on the midi keyboard the root goes on? Also, in the video the first chord you put in does not only have notes 4 and 7 semitones above the root. Does that have to do with the notes being played on more than one string?
@statdefender54 Hi, in my video the first chord is C major... So the root is C and the harmony notes are E and G. A guitar is normally tuned so the open strings are E, A, D, G, B and E... So right away we can see we have two E and one G harmony notes... So we just need to work out the other 3 strings. We only have four fingers so we can't transpose any string higher than 4 semitones (and they can't be transposed to a lower note). The B string can be transposed to C with just 1 semitone and the A string can transposed to C with 3 semitones. The D string can be transposed to E with 2 semitones. So E, A, D, G, B, E (guitar open strings) become E, C, E, G, C, E (C major chord on guitar). As the root note is C, the lowest C is the root note. Any note below the root note is optional, so a guitarist doesn't always play the bottom E note. Sorry, it sounds complicated but basically, you work out the notes of the chord and then you work out which note can be played on which string. Keep in mind that lower strings can be left off if all chord notes can be played on higher strings and the order of the notes does not matter (the root note does not have to be the lowest note).
Thanks. I got up until the last two points on my own. Velocity and Note length, who would have thought it!? Then again I'm a pianist and EDM producer not a guitarist. Edit: I know they (Velocity and note length) also apply to the piano and music in general but it was the nuance of the instrument itself that I missed.
Hi i wanted to know ,can plugin like vst (like musiclab realstrat) work with bandlab ?

How do you figure out which keys a chord are? (like how you selected e2 and the other keys)
