Servida Music damn bro.. Simon servida is supporting you now.. You've come so far in these last 2 months bro keep it up!! 💯💯
ALL CAPS NO NAPS GET BACK TO YOUR CHAMBER AND MAKE MORE VIDEOS
Hey I’m subbed to you
I make a lot of dark melodies. Here is my tip. Pick a note. Go up a few notes and play 2 notes that are right next to each other. The semi tone switches creates a dark vibe.
good tip!
Not always does it sound dark doe
Infidel Productionz aw yeah
So mean play a sustained chord arp?
Damous X Nah, by 2 notes next to each other I think he meant they are one semitone apart.
Damn, the first tutorial for a long time where it's not like "Yeah this is a beginners tutorial so I'll create this basic melody real quick" *opens omnisphere*
On bro that shit be blowing me
@@Theunderwrldreloaded on bro bro
I think the same thing all the time. Here’s a beginners melody on a 500 dollar plug-in😂 like got damn bro
Jakob Zl 😂😂😂😂
Is there any vst that has some good sounds like omnisphere? Lol
Lmaooo!

lmfaoooo hell yeah
Agreed
bruh how are you the only one that can explain it so it sounds so easy
also thundershock
hahahaha I get how hard it is to learn this shit. I just don't want other ppl to struggle like I did. I know what would've been helpful then,so that's what I wanna give yall now ❤
and thank you so much for watching ❤
@@ChuTheCreator the commitment you put in to help others... respect
facts
tip for finding chords:
- select a scale (melodic minor, aeolian)
- put the scale in a sampler for about 3-4 octaves
- the ghost notes can help you stay in scale and find the sound you are looking for
tip for edison:
- put your pattern with your melodies on the playlist.
- select record on play in edison
- let it record the loop 2 times and take the second loop because there usually is some delay in the beginning of the first loop
- you will have markers that tell you when the song "jumps" so you can easily see where the loop begins and ends
nice tip!
Nice thanks
Damn broski, thanks!
I thought I was the only person on Earth who used "on play" I tried to tell people about it but they insist on doing it the manual way jeez
You don't have to draw silent midi to see the scale you want to write chords or melodies in, just go to the highlight settings (click the arrow in the top left corner of the piano roll) and you'll find several scales from major to more unconventional ones, the lighter stripes are the scale notes and darker ones are ones that you may avoid but you can use them to create some interesting progressions of course.
the song u played while talking kept making me think i got a snapchat notification
😂😂😂😂
Kryton facts
Where can I find the track you made in this video? I've been looking for it on your channel
Big facts😂
K E O V O same
The only trap producer who is very positive full support!!
*Simon Servida will remember that*
If you were awake when I uploaded this, you're a REAL one
When you recording vocals how do you get that annoying echo to stop, when I play back I don’t here it tho, can you make a vid on that?
@@JaySain69 yes!!! I can definitely try!
Timezone squad
@@zyl- ❤❤❤❤
Damn it. I was sleeping. But not too late tho 👌
when making melodies if you select all then press alt+r you can assign the notes random velocities to give it a more realistic sound if you plan on going for that approach
thank you!
That Random Kid damn this shit helpful thanks bro
Didn't kno
You can also do that for the hihats but that’s a secret🤫🤫
Holy shitttt as soon as those 808s came😱🔥🔥
thank you bro!!!!
Can u explain what 808s are?
@@kilian8596 if i answer that i'll get an r/whooosh but i can't really tell you..BASSically it's a sound specifically found in trap/hip hop
@@kilian8596 The Bass
@@kilian8596 its the name for the bass in rap and hiphop songs, the name comes from the roland drum machine called TR-808, which was considered to be bad at the time of release but grew big in underground rap and hiphop in the 90s because it was cheap. this is why the 808 is so big in rap music now too.
It's 2024 and I keep coming back to this video whenever I'm feeling beat blocked and it helps EVERY SINGLE TIME. Chu will forever be 🐐ed in my book.
@chu I don’t say this lightly, I’ve watched hundreds of hours worth of beat tutorials, but I have to say, this is the BEST tutorial I’ve watched on TH-cam! 💯 the way you explained everything made the concept easy to understand and I respect and appreciate that man. Keep up the great work💪🏾🔥🔥 #subbed
that's the goal my friend. I just want to make content that is consumable for producers. I love you guys so much. thank you for watching, i appreciate you tuning in #dopecontentONLY
**Nintendo wants to know your location**
NO SNITCHING
Those 808's really roar!
Another fire beat by chu!
do you know how it roar so much? lmao is it like a distortion effect or just the 808 sample itself
Gabriel Denis just watch chus 808 tutorial
This new internet community of producers are the most supportive group of people I’ve ever met online, I love this community.
+regreting Thank you so much! It seems like you're really enjoying the content!
Genuinely the most helpful melody tutorial I’ve ever seen I’m only at 2:47 and I’ve already learned more here than all the internet money tutorials. You aren’t just making a beat and having us watch. Your ACTUALLY teaching tricks to use. You just earned yourself a new sub
Every single one of your tutorials has been very helpful to me. You deserve more recognition in my opinion
thank you bro! haha yall are giving me all the recognition I need❤❤
Challenge for you: try to make a melody only using PIKACHU
When i start the video :
« Yeah another basic melody video »
At the end :
« Wooow bro that’s so fire ! »
Big support from france 🙏🏽
thank you so much homie!! much love, stay safe. the support means everything!!
of all the melody tutorials i’ve watched...
this one actually helped me! thank you!

If you guys want to throw some sauce on the melodies use something like a vinyl crackling before record it to a sample,after throw some detune effect, izotope vinyl and unstable are free and good choices,dont forget to make a lot of experiences using this technique and create your own sauce, have good time producing !.
really good tip!! thank you!
Wow I literally just stumbled on to this channel from my feed. I've been making beats for years and still have trouble with certain things when making beats but everyday I try to keep learning something new. I have to say I learned alot you got a new subscribe bro! Keep the tuts coming!
The best channel i ever found on youtube . Most of the TH-camrs just make a beat and upload it showing us the making and doesn’t tell anything .. i learn aa looottt from this channel ❤️
Why aren't you famous yet you really deserve more subs.
You helped me a lot getting knowledge in producing, keep up the good work!
haha we dont care about fame here man. we just wanna be dope
"we don't want that soft shit around here".
u a legend mate
😂😂😂⚡❤ #dopecontentONLY
You are a freaking beast bro I went through multiple tutorials on yt but no one explained in a proper manner thanks a lot I need more of these please lots of love ❤️
I’m so happy i found your channel! You made this so simple to follow and understand. This is the first video I’ve come across that hasn’t confused me lol I’m a complete beginner with intermediate musical knowledge and i think other youtubers sometimes forget to reach a beginner level type of audience so thank you for being thorough!
Simplicity is key, well explained my man.
Thunderschock⚡⚡
that is the goal my g!! ⚡⚡
Why use thundetshock when thunder is so obviously better, the lesser accuracy is completely overshadowed by the extreme increase in damage
5:22
you can also self sample by right clicking your pattern and and selecting render as audio clip
I was looking for this comment. Good job!
I have to admit, this is by far the best video regarding Trap music while also incorporating theory on one of the easiest levels possible.
this was the MOST useful beginner tutorial video about trap music i have ever seen. thanks a lot!
I needed a video like this. I know music theory and how to play multiple instruments but I don't know how to work the software. This helped a lot. Thank you man. I subscribed to your channel.
Bro this beat 🔥🔥🔥 🔥...That 808 was sizzle 🏌️🏌️🏌️🏌️
thank you bro!!!
Dope Tutorial. I been making beats for 15+ years and still dig for new ideas and methods with tutorials. 🔨🔊💎
this was an extremly helpful video. i started a dark beat but didnt really know what to do and after watching a couple of videos i was as smart as before but now i now what to do. you really explain every step and for beginners its perfect
You had me crack up a couple of times throughout this! Great content. I'll be back for more Keep it rolling
Ur 808 video increased my 808 efficiency by 150%. Now, its melodies. Subbed and staying tuned for the rest of this series. THUNDERSHOCK ⚡⚡⚡
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Best vid on dark melodies. I love your explenations for the different plugins, makes me understand so much more
Great channel man! First video I’m watching of yours & I am learning a lot already thanks chu
Tip for rendering you melodies: you can also go to patter on the top left side and select quick render as an audio clip so you can skip the Edison step
GREAT PRO TIP! I believe this is new to fl20. I exclusively use fl11 and only use fl20 to record these tutorials, so that Edison step is required for me. but, if any one wants to skip it, this is how! thank!⚡⚡⚡
Chu another quick way is to route the melody you want to render to a mixer channel, then click on the enable record button on the mixer channel and then top left click on the dropdown menu and select arm disk recording and render it directly to your clipboard in wav mode (u can enable or disable channel FX and so on)
Super helpful tweak for daily use bro ;)
or just bounce it in place if you use Logic, way easier
HES DONE IT BOISSSSSS HE HAS DONE IT
😂😂 love you man
@@ChuTheCreator i hope this series does not stop, im still new and its hard to keep going as most melodies i make i dislike. Keep it up chu!
I just started watching your ideas but I couldn’t be more greatful for the gems you be dropping
Meaningful comment. Glad I could help
Dem 808s CRANKIN' !
SHEESH!
Def watchin' more tutorials !
Better than Busy Works Beats
haha naaah man he is the OG, you gotta respect him!! thank you for watching!!
Dot com
Just watch his stuff at 1.25x and he's pretty entertaining.
@@goldgrain Busy Works Beats?, He knows alot about Music Theory and a bunch of other stuff, respect him, he prolly knows more than you
@Chu respect I subbed to your channel for that response alone. Keep doing your thang. I learned something. 💯
Thunder shock. This has made me wanna sample myself more now 💫💭. Fire 🖤
hell yeah!
As a starting producer and a near expert piano player I began producing beats waaay to complicated for vocals. While the track sounded amazing I needed to tone down my melodies. This video aided me not in the notes and musical terms but it simplifying my tracks and starting to gain many more fans because of it
Keep it the amazing work
Much love.
Dope Chu! Just discovered your channel. I'm a rapper from Holland and started producing my own beats about 9 months ago. I'm pretty average now. I always like to see beginner tutorials. Why? I always learn something new. Happy to be a part of your channel.
This is dope and informative. I like the way you explain complicated stuff in a simple manner. Big ups bro, keep these tutorials coming!
#Dopecontentonly

That first part about starting the melody was amazing for me a total beginner who was struggling with melodies. I tried that trick and made the best dark piano melody I have done yet . Ty big like here
One of the best tutorials man
Yes boi Chu back again with the tutorials #Thundershock⚡️⚡️
⚡⚡⚡
I thought I was getting loads of notifications on my phone but it was just the beat in the background 🤦♂️🤦♂️
lmfaooo sorry my guy!!
Hahah same kept checking my notification bar . Shit was tripping me out
yeah same, if there's anything to NOT sample it's notification sounds lmfao
Same LMAO I thought it was my Snapchat
OMG!!! I FINALLY found someone who explains things intuitively, thinks about the people watching the videos and doesnt skip over a bunch of shit assuming everyone knows those parts... awesome! I think you're my favorite "tutorializerer"... sub/likes all day errrry bideo!!!
CHU.... Dope Content Only! I'm Diggin it 4-Realz!
Honestly best tutorial i've seen, you deserve way more subs imo
thank you bro!!!
when you sample yourself do "record on play" rather than on input and it marks when the pattern loops (also make sure your on pattern mode)
good tip!
Dude!!! Chudaman!!!!! Been looking for an all around tutorial where the person wasn’t corny, weird voice, long winded and more! You are perfect more me so I tapped subscribe!!! Thank you!!!
One of the best tutorial i saw 👌❤

Bro thankyou that helps alot... I know its bit too late for comments but... Its never too late to appreciate... Much love..
Love all the Chu stuff that you are doing bro !
Thank you so much homie!!

Thanks for that bruv
thats amazing!! its my pleasure homie. thank you for tuning in!!
man u teach so well! So easy to understand what ur doing. Congrats. +1 sub
Thanks man, I really appreciate it !
I find beauty in contrasting melodies. I love makin 2 or 3 melodies at least, and having them all in the same vibe with open spaces in each melody, so that the melodies when together all fill in their spaces with contrasting notes. I dont know if im alone with that or if anyone thinks like that too, but great video G. I hope everyone walks away with knowledge and understandings that once werent accquired. Stay blessed killa💪🙏
Thank you for being straightforward and not trying to hide stuff that really helps us. New Subscriber

First of all, I think this was a great melody tutorial, one of the best i've seen so far, keep it going :D
And also I have a question to your drumkits. I recently downloaded the BLACKEST NIGHT kit but I can't change the pitch of any of the samples, for example I can't really use the 808's because they are always in the same pitch. Do you know how I can fix this? That would be great :D
turn down the time dilation
This was a Insane Tutorial! Thanks for this man!
Best tutorial I ever watched!
