- Yes... I realize the melody wasn't the greatest, but the principles of the video are what I wanted to showcase. I show you a technique for how to make melodies using the Brush Tool and Scale Quantize Tool. Making melodies can be difficult for beginners or when you're feeling uninspired and this is a surefire way to help get over that. The Brush Tool and Scale Quantize Tool are some of the many powerful options you have when making beats in Logic Pro X, I highly suggest taking advantage of them and learning to use them within your workflow when making beats. Enjoy!

This is super helpful, 'ppreciate you bud.
Appreciate you homie!
YOOO the beginning of this is too accurate
The footage is real 😂😂
Facts the beginning
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you. Not knowing much music theory has been killing me. This had the answers sway!!!
Thank you! Glad you found the content helpful. Really appreciate your comment 🙌
Just started learning logic yesterday, this helps a LOT. I barely know what a Key is as I can't play any insruments so it really is learning from scatch right now. Thanks for your videos dude
Thanks for watching! Really happy the content is useful for you
This is a hard concept to grasp if you have no prior knowledge. I played guitar so I kinda know my way around theory but even then logic is confusing. My suggestion is looking up some piano courses online first. I know this was long ago I hope your still making music. I just started logic last week and my head is spinning but it’s so much fun. Good luck my friend.
@@Kevin12321 yeah, still making music and progressing (slowly :D) Good luck to you aswell!

Thanks for watching Iain 👍 appreciate the comment
You just unlocked some new things for me with this one
Love hearing that, thanks for the comment!
No doubt man I've been using logic for about 6 mos now and am going to school for this and I remember being frustrated because I just want to create the music that's in my head and heart and I came across your video where you was making a club type Drake beat and was totally LOST and was like damn this is complicated but this dude knows his shi* I appreciate you !
@@iam_pbq Thats amazing man, best part of making the content is hearing people are finding it helpful.

Super!
🦸♂️
Great tutorial and tips. I have been wondering how to use that function in Logic Pro X. I know a fair amount of music theory but rarely use it in the song creation process. Meaning I don’t consciously make an effort to make things work out according to the rules. My process begin with using my ears first but it can never hurt to learn how to make it make sense on paper when the ears are not helping me work through writers block.
After thinking a little more about my original comment it dawned on me that I have never really learned how to compose and/or create using theory. So that is more than likely where my bias comes from.
One of the reasons that I love music is that there really are no rules (or very few). I typically make most of my songs like you, using my ear. But that being said every now and then I do have to consult my theory knowledge to get that chord that sounds right or add extra voicings.
My advice would be to compose as you usually do... when you get stuck with something, explore the key you’re in. See where that takes you, it’s almost like a reference you can refer back to when you need it. Thanks for watching homie! 🙌
thanks a lot
Thanks for watching!
I had to sub to your TH-cam. Gr8 content. 👍
Thank you! Appreciate you watching 👍 glad you found the content helpful
Thanks
Thank you for watching!
Hella appreciate you Brodie 💯💯 keep up the vids 🙌 jus maybe add a de-esser to ur vox cuz it’s lowkey ear piercing
Thanks for the shout! Yes no doubt, the older videos have bad sibilance. Check out my newer ones and let me know if it’s better 🙌
@@itstonyholiday Yee new ones on point 💯🙌 all your vids fye tho Frr. Thank u for the knowledge 💯
@@oddbromden8786 thanks for watching and the kind words!
Not my style but I can say I've learnt something, I always underrated the brush tool, I know you could use it for quick an easy note lengths but didn't know it worked for scales n chords too
Thanks for your comment, everyone has different styles and ways of doing things. It's about finding the best way that works for you.
Cheers!
@@itstonyholiday Keep the style of video making you got too, A lot of people do things too slowly, Much better when it's fast paced.
@@ProdByUnhingedClipsYes, I figure if you need to learn slower you can always re-watch it. Thanks for showing the love and support!
Nice Nice!
Appreciate you!!
hey I got a question I just got Logic Pro (very exited) but I was wondering if I need any other plugins like omisphere or can I still make good beats with just the stock plugins on logic great vid thanks
You don't need any of em. Alchemy is Logic's stock soft synth that has some awesome sounds and all of their stock audio effects are pretty great too. Personally I don't buy plugins unless I specifically need them.
Have fun producing!
Game changer
So much faster!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate you!! 🙌
😂😂😂 omg me af. Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Happens to the best of us. Thank you for watching + the comment!
show how you did the melody of the outro track please
Let me see if I can find the project file 👍 thanks for watching!
When I used ultra beat, and I chose from the sample list, how can you make it be the same tempo as the piano chords I had recorded before
If the piano is audio it’s going to be recorded at that tempo, you’ll have to stretch it to make it fit the grid. If it’s midi, it will play at the tempo that you change your project to 👍
Can you do tutorials for FL Studio
Unfortunately I don’t know it as well as I know Logic. Luckily it’s probably the most popular DAW for TH-cam tutorials so you’ll find some really good content. Good luck 👍
How do I use the Quantize ?
Do I need Omnisphere to pick the certain pianos necessary for trap beats ?
No there's lots of great ones in Alchemy
Are you using an interface just to make your melody? Or is that not needed for this ?
You don’t need one to make a melody like this but I likely did in this video.
Thanks for watching
Tony take me somewhere
😏
Any idea why trap doubles the tempo marking and makes everything longer, such that a full measure of 4/4 now become a single beat in a trap bar? I'm assuming it is because beat based music was born from producers who maybe didn't read standard sheet music, but wondered if there was another reason. When I attempt a trap beat, I always have the tempo marking to something like 70, so my context of a 4/4 bar, 8ths and 16ths, etc... remains intact
Scott Morwitz good question for sure, I don’t know the actual answer. I’ve heard the theory that when dance music (128bpm) was at its peak, people were experimenting with synths and electronic sounds and then speeding it up to 140-160bpm and putting on jazz drum loops which could explain it.
Trap characteristically has a lot of fast arpeggios and quick hi hat/snare rolls as well which you couldn’t achieve with 70bpm (vs 140) unless you were using a 1/32 grid which is pretty fast.
Tony Holiday cool, thanks. Though the 1/32 grid is only as fast as the tempo, I guess doubling the BPM gives you 1/64 options too.
Yea exactly. Keep in mind this is just my thoughts based on no knowledge of how it came to be
Dude you need to apply DeEsser in the mix!!
It’s been said
@@itstonyholiday My bad, only just stumbled across this video, I didn't mean any disrespect. Good tutorial though helped me a lot!
Ha no it’s all good... honestly been trying to fix the issue. Glad the video helped, thanks for watching 🙌🙌
What if you're a progressive house producer like I am? Is the technique the same or do I have to rely on a different technique?
It's been awhile since I've seen this video, but music theory is the same across most genres. Just need to find the specific scales and chord structure.
Thanks Tony, I will take that as advice!
@@DJMoonlightKonamare Thanks for watching Ivan, consider joining the discord server so you can ask more questions and get answers from other producers as well!

Hello what is the shortcut for 3.09 ?
Hello, CMD + R
Well, there were no subtitles this time. So the quality of the video is much better! 👍🏻
Great! Thanks for checking it out 👍
I tend to see everyone do that now a day don’t get me wrong,you good at what you do just stop rushing I wanna see everything you doing in logic pro x
This is an old vid. How bout checking the new ones, I tend to see people commenting on old videos nowadays without checking the latest ones.
for some reason when I press T for the tools the brush tool isn't available any advice?
oh wait never mind XD I was pressing T in the wrong spot
😂
How do you do a half time?
It's your lucky day th-cam.com/video/55i_5-cqVmM/w-d-xo.html
Guys just to let you know, to open up the Key Commands it's **OPTION** + K ... not command or control. Happy producing! :)
I really appreciate this... thank you. I had a bit of a moment when making this video and just screwed up completely. Thanks for the fix!
@@itstonyholiday No sweat bro :)
Coolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Does omnisphere come with logic x?
No
what if my command K is to pull up the midi keyboard
Can you teach us mixing too?
Yes, this ones been requested a lot. Trying to make a series for it 😉
@@itstonyholiday Thanks again sir! Hey, it's pretty surreal to know that the same Tony that's speaking on the vids is replying to me!
Haha the Internet is a crazy world! Appreciate you watching and the shout 🙌🤙
is there any way to use omnisphere without breaking into my savings
If you're a baller it might not.. unfortunately for the rest of us savings breaking it is.
yea look up free omnisphere one shots and then load them into logic's sampler
Logic gvng
what vst plugins do you use?
Mostly Serum + Alchemy
Tony Holiday thanks bro. keep up the awesome work🙏🏽
I appreciate you!! Thanks for watching
when I try to add melodies not in the scale it just puts it on the note below instead of nothing at all...any idea how to change that?
No just hold and drag to know what's in the scale, sorry.
@@itstonyholiday yeah that's how I've adapted. good stuff.
@@oshaymusicgroup Yea there's still some things Logic could do to make it a better workflow. Hopefully they read YT comments! Cheers
how much do u sell your beats for? I saw your website has none listed for sale
I haven’t sold them in awhile. You looking to buy? Or just curiosity?
@@itstonyholiday I do docs & could use them 'cause I'm still learning to produce..I like this beat & another where u sampled the Inclinations..
@@itstonyholiday I could hit u up thru email for a price quote ..thanks
Hit the email in my bio. And we can connect. Thanks!
@@itstonyholiday right on, bro!
I have logic pro x and there is no brush tool on my piano roll ! Does anyone know how to fix that ???
Make sure you're in a midi window
@@itstonyholiday Yes i am and there is no brush tool on my piano roll :/
@@alexmpines Advanced settings turned on?
@@itstonyholiday You mean on Preferences ? Yes, all the advanced tools are enable
@@alexmpines Then I am at a loss. Good luck with that one 👍
How do you get « bells and Vibes » ?
It’s a stock category in Omnisphere
What is omnisphere?
Bks Beats google is your friend here
Haha alright
these hotkeys shortcuts and methods are super helpful, but u need to work on sound selection
Appreciate that comment homie... I agree... the melody and sound selection was sub par for sure. I wanted to showcase the methods more than the beat, and the final product suffered for sure. Cheers for the feedback!
Tony Holiday fosho, i’d recommend staying away from free drum kits and try and join some reddit/discord communities that trade or giveaway higher quality drum samples
Roger that, any that you recommend?
Tony Holiday r/drumkits
Cheers bru 🙌
i pick a key but it i can still play on any note on the midi
Gotta pick the size of the note as well
@@itstonyholiday Thanks king
@@jessejunesworld Gotchu my guy, appreciate you watching!
HOW DID YOU COPY THE MELODY FOUR TIMES WITH A SHORT CUT
Likely cmd + R
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the beginning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha you think I’m joking 😂😂
A blank page really does suck
?
I be so frustrated 30 minutes later with three different beats 😂🤦🏾♀️
Story of my life. Just choose a route and move on... that's how you'll get better
😂😂😂 exactly
Omnisphere not keyscape
It’s the Keyscape library run through Omni but thanks so much for pointing that out
Whoever hit the dislike button got spanked as a kid :c
🤭
I don’t mean this in a rude way at all, your tutorials were awesome. But when you speak your “s’s are really painful. Haha
Hey Shawn! Thank you for the feedback... this is something that a few people have commented on so it's definitely something I want to make better. Thank you for the kind words regarding the tutorials, and I'm going to dial in the harsh tones in for sure. Cheers!
Tony Holiday
It could just be the microphone that’s picking everything up like crazy but overall man I love these videos!! Don’t want you to think I am bashing you at all
@@shawnlauderback Not at all man... feedback is important. I'm working on a better sound option as we speak. Thank you for the comment!
It's the microphone not being able to get those highs. With a different Microphone you'll abrely notice those s's
Just use a D-Esser or Waves Vox plugin so you can sound like a robot or Darth Vader
is 18 too late to try to start and launch a career in music production?
Try to slow down a bit, thanks.
Turn your video on 0.5 speed.
