Memphy! I recently just subscribed to your channel, as I've been trying to dabble in EDM production--and this video was awesome! I know a little bit of music theory but this was great to see how different changes in chord voicing can change the whole vibe of a song! Thank you :) you are awesome!!!
I'd 100% say Pro chords to start with a lead filling in and adding the variation, then using the Expert for round two after the first drop with a second lead or harmony lead in addition to the first! Actually though, even though I know some music theory and been playing instruments and singing for years however, "just add notes where it sounds good" is the best advice for digital production that will be sticking with me lolol
It depends on the intention how you want to treat your chords. If I make chords to put it really far in the background, they will sound noob. But if the chords are really in front of you, they will sound like pro or expert.
Thank you man, I've been stuck at noob stage despite knowing some of music theory. It's just still quite gray for me on how to implement it, but your video make it easier for me to do so. Thank you
I love you so much bro Thank you for all your useful tutorials, I have learned a lot from it and I feel proud to have known and seen your channel grow. I really appreciated your tutorials bro
no everyone is melodically accustomed. my good friend is a rhythm wizz but cant hear a 3rd from a 4th. me on the other hand my sense of rhythm is borderline non existent but my pitch identification is on point. its all brain at the end of the day
Yo memphy you good? I haven’t seen you in 11 months. If you’re busy with university or work I understand but we have no idea what’s going on right now.
Yoooo, I'm good thanks for reaching out! :) Been making an EP, focusing on my course etc, released video today with a quick update on what I've been up to!
Najs I feel like I’m in between noob and pro cuz I use 7ths and 9ths sometimes, but half the time it’s just a triad + the root note up an octave Video suggestion: how to drum and bass in 3 minutes/420 seconds
@@Memphy Well I swear to god you had a Melodicstep version of the "how to make" videos with the end song previewing probably a video of seven lions on stage as you show off the end result like usual. I went through all your videos and didn't find it but you were the first to come to mind.
Hm, there are at least 2 levels above expert, reaching full flavoured 5-part counterpoint harmony with divisi at the top. You just have to listen to classical orchestral filmmusic like John Williams.
Fr I’m trying to make unique chord progressions (around hacker level lol) and then there’s people at the first level with the same progressions as everyone else getting millions of plays 😭 this industry’s fucked
@@rvrb_ chords aren't the only essential part of the song tho, you need the right sounds/instruments, the right drums, the right bass for it, and some genre don't even require any harmony so they might not even need those basic chords in their songs.
Idk if you remember, but would it be possible for me to use the pro melody and chord progression for a song I'm want to make? It's a non-profit song, I will credit you and will not post it anywhere.
Chord progression and melodies aren't affected by any legal stuff, basically you can copy anything you want :) (every big artist is doing the same thing)
The root note is in every chord already. Maybe you mistake it for the tonic note? I do mention the tonic note in the last level & why I didn't add it. Thx for watching!
a real "pro" learns to play an instrument and does not hack notes in a piano roll, lol. But nevertheless, have fun. I like how you made the video, in part. the hacker-part. Very funny.
The pro chords are simply one of the most beautiful chord progressions ever in my opinion
The Noob one is kinda Best I've got 😅
Ikr the noob is like the best sounding version of the 4
No way, the noob one was boring af
Then are tech house producers like me that doesn’t even use a single chord in a track haha
All you need. People have built entire careers on three chords.
@@TheCray100 Knowing extension is not because you NEED them. It's just fun to have more options to work with.
The fact that the “Hacker” level is harder to do than ACTUALLY making chords yourself 💀
and it sounds bad
@@vvvroverIt does lol
@@vvvrover it wasn't all that bad

I recently just unsubscribed from you sorry
NO NOT MUSIC THEORY!!! UGH! *proceeds to finish the video*
Ugh I know super annoying *subscribe*
tbh regardless of the level, the overall production still makes it sound lit
Yo, the examples at the end were probably the coolest thing I’ve ever heard 🔥🔥🔥
I am enlightened finally.
Epic vid! Some great advice to reinforce what I've learned over the years :D

Man how i'd kill to have more full songs from this man. Oceans and Stay we're already awesome. Would love to see what he could cook up nowadays!
very informative! good video
The most uncomplicated tutorial I have ever came across that has the best info for noobs to become experts really good music theory flick

You deserve more subs. These are amazing tutorials!
Man you are the best. Thanks for sharing your skills
When Memphy Uploads, you know its gonna be gud
Hey Memphy ! Keep it up bro ✌🏻
I love how you edit your video about music theory, its funny and keeps me ingaged!!
Thank you man, I've been stuck at noob stage despite knowing some of music theory. It's just still quite gray for me on how to implement it, but your video make it easier for me to do so. Thank you
Bought your course and so far im learning so much 🔥
I love you so much bro Thank you for all your useful tutorials, I have learned a lot from it and I feel proud to have known and seen your channel grow. I really appreciated your tutorials bro
the conclusion is : JUST USE YOUR EARS .

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AGREE
Agreed
Glad to see you again
nice video man!! That voicing technique is good bro! 🔥🔥
This opened a Door for me. tHANK YOU SO MUCH!
Honestly when u make a drop that sick...it makes it difficult to choose ...they fit in soooo perfect 😅
Or just use Pilot Chords Epic Plugins and hit the complexity button few times to have it done for you. Then adjust as needed.
This is sick man thanks for this tutorial 🙏🙏❤️
Yo memphy you good? I haven’t seen you in 11 months. If you’re busy with university or work I understand but we have no idea what’s going on right now.

@@Memphy glad to see you back
The song you tried out for the chords should have a full version cuz you cooked so good in that one!
Oh my god this video is sooo funny! Thank you for finally convincing me to take an interest in music theory lol
Harmony is the most fun part about music IMO.
Hey hey! mmm😢that was fire 🔥 ...nice works Pro...
Thanks memphy this is gonna definitely make my chords improve 😅😅
Actually i enjoyed all of them on the track but the expert level one is from another world it sound so complete thanks man
Insane ❤❤❤
Fun fact: I accidentally made an expert level chord progression I guess.... and only once.
First like, then watch
Seriously, after watching that hacker technique. I was like "what the hell was even that" 😂. After 2 sec that meme man came 😂😂....
Duroooo🔥, tiene sentido, cuantas más notas llenes los acordes más armónicos vas a crear, por lo tanto mejor va a sonar
All levels are different in their own way, but for me the favorite is the "EXPERT" difficulty 🔥🔥
My teacher of music memphy

Imo they all sounded great
FCKING LOVE THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro bringing back old minecraft legendary video
Damn love the vocals and the drop🤧😢💯😭
bro deleted the Melodicstep video and the end result was one of the best ones.
I haven't deleted any videos, not sure which video you mean?

you make it look so damn easy and when u try to do this im stuck with empty project
Nice videoo!!❤
the video editing was a masterpiece😂
Hack 😱🔥 Nice Sound
Can you make a video on how you made the drop
Memphy where are you 8 months 😢 miss you
Yoooo, missed you guys too! Been making an EP, focusing on my course etc. I released a video today with a quick update on what I've been up to! :)
@Memphy 😭😭😭😭😭😭you are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is fun to watch
hacker level sounds cool in this drop !
so.......... where did memphygod go? its been 11months
Yoooo, been making an EP, focusing on my course etc. I released a video today with a quick update on what I've been up to! :)
2:29 That’s the same piano intro from Sky full of stars, only up a few notes.
Please what daw do you use 🥺🥺🙏🙏
He uses FL studio 😅
I heard Esus2 and Esus4 many time in drill music like Big Drip
Hey viewers, if you are new to this music production world, I have a small tip for u. JUST PLAY ALONG THOSE SOUND YOU HAVE. Have a nice day...
Best advice
🔥 bro, ty
Hm, there are at least 2 levels above expert, reaching full flavoured 5-part counterpoint harmony with divisi at the top. You just have to listen to classical orchestral filmmusic like John Williams.
it easier to count spaces between notes, so 2 between the bottom and middle, and 3 at the top or opposite depending
Nice one next melody 😢
People need to stop using this same set of chords in all the songs

The “Hacker” hit hardest 💥
Yh other video 👏
man that hacker one was dreamy
You probably should have also talked about inversions
HOLY SHIIITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
amo el humor de este men
Can you show how you did the track 17 sound please
what instrument are you using to make that epic sound giving "cyber punk" vibes (idk how to ask properly what i'm looking for)
So glad I'm not a hacker even in music cheating is not always rewarding.
How do you guy strum guiter in Fl studio
Idk if you remember, but would it be possible for me to use the pro melody and chord progression for a song I'm want to make? It's a non-profit song, I will credit you and will not post it anywhere.
Chord progression and melodies aren't affected by any legal stuff, basically you can copy anything you want :) (every big artist is doing the same thing)
3:02 when the music changed😂
So I’m actually an expert 😁
It's been 1 year Memphy😑
Yoooo, uploaded new video today with an update on what I've been up to! :)
0:44 minecraft ahh
now those are some "PRO LEVEL CHORDS"
Can someone please tell me the name of the technique he used in the drop to make the chords pulse or fluctuate, and where can I get that beautiful pad
Wow that's cool
Oi m8y good job.
Omg, in the production, noob chords sound better!
You forgot the root note that can play the same note to give it more emotion and life,but i learnt some stuff from the vid keep it up bro
The root note is in every chord already. Maybe you mistake it for the tonic note? I do mention the tonic note in the last level & why I didn't add it. Thx for watching!
@Memphy oh yeah the tonic note,you could change the octave of the note randomly but make it fit in with the chord too so it doesn't get too boring
a real "pro" learns to play an instrument and does not hack notes in a piano roll, lol. But nevertheless, have fun. I like how you made the video, in part. the hacker-part. Very funny.
How do you do those automations on the drop 😭 insane.
Yow the mix and layering on pro. Is different from the others levels✌🏽
It's not, just the chords are different so naturally it sounds different.
either 2 or 4. i probably lean 2 in this mix tho!
I never learnt music theory
What’s the tune that plays here? 4:03
"If you're an advanced noob"
I've never felt so offended in my whole life😂...
May i know what DAW your using pls? Thanks.
Liked the hacker's voicing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
