I recently started a song using Orb producer suite. I tried working with it quite a bit. I think I like Captain Epic more. It seems more powerful and easier to use. For me, compared to Orb and Scaler 2, this is the clear winner. Great job guys, please keep updating. Thank you 🎹
Great Tutorial. But I have two questions. When I apply a rhythm to a section or a whole chord progression, made by captain chords, the rhythm change lifts all the notes one or two octaves up. Is this a feature? This happens independent of which rhythm I choose. And the second question is about loosing notes when applying rhythm changes. In your video, the base notes get lost. Why is this?. Both problems together are pushing down my workflow. Are these features, that I just do not understand? Something new happend. When I change the rhythm settings in the lower bar and change the section width, the notes of that section also sometimes jump up 2 ocatves. Why is that? Investigation goes on. When applying rhythm, the chords always jumps to Octave 4. No matter, where I started the process. When I apply rhythms on notes in Octave 4, it stays in Octave 4. That could not be a feature!?
Muito legal. Não sou músico. Gosto de música e aprendi alguns conceitos do software nessas dicas. Mais uma vez, muito obrigado pela tradução português Brasil. Abraço.
I need a video to show the order of getting started and building a tune....like, do you start in Captain chords first?...then add the drums and bass? I noticed that you've already got some drums backing you up here?
That is up to you, sometimes I start with drums, sometimes I have an idea for a chords/melody - start there and build the drums around that. Having the drums going makes it kinda easier to hear what should be coming next, but doing the drums first is also kind of limiting for that exact reason. You need to try and fail till you find your own way, there is no how do I do this, you just start doing something and find what works for you.
hey, you can still add Swing on Captain Plugins Epic 7. After making a selection on some chord notes, you will see an icon to open the Humanization options, one of the options is for Swing. You will see all the Swing presets there :)
It doesn't change them automatically at the moment, so the best way is to export the MIDI to your DAW and arrange them as you would like them to be played in your project 🙂
Tenho o Captain cordões 5. Mas este é muito mais poderoso. Só que prá comprar agora vai demorar um pouco. Moro no Brasil e não está fácil por aqui. Mas é muito boa está versão.
Entendo bem como é. A situação do câmbio tá complicada pra comprar os produtos em dólar. De vez em quando temos algumas promoções boas, como no Black Friday. Vai ser uma ótima oportunidade pra você comprar os plugins 🙂
Eu comprei esse software e não tem vídeos em português para aprender o mesmo. Agradeceria muito se vcs, pelo menos, colocassem legendas que fossem possível a tradução para português Brasil. Obrigado.
Vamos colocar até amanhã. Estamos colocando em quase todos vídeos que a gente vem publicando aqui no TH-cam. Só não tivemos tempo de adicionar a este último ainda. Mas vamos sim disponibilizar até amanhã 🙂
If you open another instance of Captain Chords Epic, you will need to apply the changes to that instance as well. It doesn't happen automatically. But, it's a cool idea to have an option to link them together, so when you make a change to one instance, it changes the other instance as well. We will definitely consider developing something for Arpeggios :)
@@mixedinkey Take your time and get it done. Looking forward to these. Also, I hope the order of the names in the rhythm is correct, now it looks messy to the naked eye, and the numbers are messed up.
Definitely need STANDALONE functionality to use outside of a DAW (for songwriting/practising purposes). This would only require you to add a metronome/tempo control. Scaler 2 fails at standalone functionality because there is no way to adjust the tempo of the chord progression when used outside of a DAW.
Cool. Thanks for the info. I will share it with our developers today and they will take a look into this tomorrow when they are online. If I had to guess, it’s something to do with OS Ventura, which hasn’t been fully tested yet. I will let you know what they say 🙂
maybe you can add english subtitles to your videos, but unfortunately i only understand half of what he says 😢 strange pronunciation.. my main language is not english.. sorry that i have to say that, but i really don’t understand what he is saying
it shouldn't be doing that. Can you please shoot us an email at contact@mixedinkey.com and refer to this? We will make sure to troubleshoot it from there and figure out what's going on
Man what's happened to generate chord progression? I was so good, but now it only generates 1/3 good and 2/3 bad, and never a full progression that is good, only like half and then I must do the rest, its like theory just went out the window and its just mashing random chords from the chosen scale. Two fist chords are usually good, the third of fourth will have some kind of fuck up, chord that doesnt work or it will slice only the last chord, invert it way higher or lower than rest. It starting to sound like A.I. generated stuff from three years ago, not good. Whats going on?
Thanks for the tips Andy!! The Captain has been busy! Keep em coming!!
You bet! Already working on the next tutorial 🙂
I want the Rhythm Tap function to come back, it was simple!
Yes plz!!!!
Omg they're gone?
Nice one Andy! Enlightening. I Just bought Captain Chords Epic and have yet to use it, so I'll be back soon!
Fantastic video and tips Andy, especially the rhythm option to split chords to different patterns for that block. Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️ we have more videos similar to this one being worked on as well :)
Please! More of this stuff Andy!
More to come! 🔥
Great tips Andy. I look forward to your next tut!
Coming soon! 🔥🚀
This is incredibly useful, Andy.You've helped shorten my learning curve tremendously!
Excellent ❤️

Thank you, we appreciate your support ❤️
@@mixedinkey My pleasure. I’m gonna talk my drummer into buying it also to help expand his writing 🎹❤️.
Please please please add the rhythms that are included in captain deep! The clave bass patterns would be great for some dance piano!
Thanks for your suggestion. I will add it to our Wishlist for future updates :)

Andy, thanks for sharing these tips.
Any time! More to tips to come 🙂
Thanks for your reply. I will check it out under Humanize.
Cool, let me know how it goes :)
I love how fun ad quick I may make a song with captain
Thanks for the tips...cheers
Of course ❤️ more to come 🔥🚀

Hi, why are some presets don't work with sustain pedal, particularly some of the piano presets
Can you please tell me the names of some presets that are not working with sustained pedal? We will look into this for you :)
What did they do with the adjustable swing setting? It was in 5 but now it’s gone. They need to bring it back to Chords, Bass and Melody
hey, you can still add Swing on Captain Plugins Epic 7. After making a selection on some chord notes, you will see an icon to open the Humanization options, one of the options is for Swing. You will see all the Swing presets there :)
Great Plugin!! question though - how do you set when the different workspaces change during the song?
It doesn't change them automatically at the moment, so the best way is to export the MIDI to your DAW and arrange them as you would like them to be played in your project 🙂
A Huge help.
That's great 😃

Can i play workspace 1 and after this automatically the workspace 2 and after this the workspace 3 when i play back in my DAW?
We don't have this option yet, but it's definitely something we will consider adding on future versions :)
@@mixedinkeyTHANK YOU! And thank you for this inspiring piece of software!!

@@mixedinkey Muito obrigado
A legenda em Português já está disponível 🙂
@@mixedinkey Muito obrigado e desculpe a chateação... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@mixedinkey Obrigado, tenho certeza q as vendas irão aumentar com isso...
I feel that only one chord is not enough, can I change the chord together if I open another one? Or is it possible to add a CAPTAIN ARP EPIC? ? ?

sup with the logic midi drag bug that extends midi over 9 bars
Which Logic version and Mac OS version are you using? We will look into this ASAP. Are you dragging a 4 bar midi loop and it’s dropping a 9 bar loop?
Logic Pro 10.7.4 using Ventura OS. Yes everytime i create a 4 bar loop it turns to a 9 bar loop when i drag it into Logics track@@mixedinkey
Cool. Thanks for the info. I will share it with our developers today and they will take a look into this tomorrow when they are online. If I had to guess, it’s something to do with OS Ventura, which hasn’t been fully tested yet. I will let you know what they say 🙂
@@mixedinkey Thanks
i tried the coupon code and it's dosen't work?
Try using EPIC10 instead, that should work :)
i have shit software almost after it has Releases, Sinse Odessi. Time to Start
What do you mean?
maybe you can add english subtitles to your videos, but unfortunately i only understand half of what he says 😢 strange pronunciation.. my main language is not english.. sorry that i have to say that, but i really don’t understand what he is saying
done ✅ 🙂
England is rather DIVERSE with accents :) and no doubt people will say the UK and swear allegiance to Scotland :))
You are failing to explain each step of what you are doing.
you should check out our Captain Chords Epic Walkthrough tutorial. Let me know if it helps :) th-cam.com/video/uA5-C5cIIt4/w-d-xo.html
does anyone know my Captain Chords keeps on timing out????? you cannot keep playing around with any of the Captain Chords
it shouldn't be doing that. Can you please shoot us an email at contact@mixedinkey.com and refer to this? We will make sure to troubleshoot it from there and figure out what's going on
