In Fl Studio, you can hum or whistle in edison and it will translate the notes to the piano roll - you just have to be clear when you use the mic. You might have to tweak it a bit but it works if you don't have a keyboard handy or don't know how to paint the notes exactly how it is in your head. Takes some getting used to but it's super handy.
Probably the best music production tutorial I’ve seen. You speak clearly, the things you say make sense because you’ve actually practiced and made use of music theory. Beautiful video, I can’t wait to see more tutorials.
Love your videos man, just the fact that you are helping people understand how to translate ideas to the program makes me have hope for the next generation of music
Thanks man! For a guy like me who's only learning music as a hobby and not really looking at investing in a music degree, you're a God-send. Appreciate you sharing your talent and knowledge. You just earned a subscriber and another member of your notification squad.
no he knows what hes talking about. dont know why you dont think so but this stuff is extremly helpful and sums up how basically all good melodys/chord progressions are made. if you dont think so u probably dont make good music then.
That melody at the end blew my mind, you did so fast and easy but it sounds x1000 better than anything I could make! I need to continue watching your videos!
Toaster i never have this. im just makin it all from scratch. sometimes i hit my keyboard and im makin a nice melody by accident but im not chillin somewhere and makin melodys in my head lmao
everyones creative influence is different, maybe youre best not starting off with a melody, start with drums, texture, whatever you like till your own vision channels onto the screen, its art remember there are no rules only guidelines find what works for you, and eventually the more you practice youll start to hear melodies while youre making breakfast, at work, whatever it is, becomes habitual like any other ability
BUSY WORK BEATS, i watched one of your hour long videos years ago on how to make a trap/rap beat. I completed the whole project, then went to work on my own stuff... now im very skilled in almost all aspects on FL studio and i want to say it started off with you man thanks for the help to jump start me into this game, now im in a record label and shits getting lit
And here, I was thinking that my beats were fire! I've learned so much from just a few of your videos. Thanks for the knowledge and time you spend teaching!
just remember that a good song does not have to be complex, in fact a lot of great music is simple, don't feel pressured into complicating your melody if it doesn't need to, focus more on production quality, this video is good information for the people who need it.
I started FL studio about a month ago and the experiments were not going well and I was going to give up but when you said that you used to make music at 2 am that really gave me a jolt of inspiration and I'm going to try to continue. Than you.
I love how clear, eloquently and to the point you explain things, even when you are explaining something bigger and using musical terms you define what they mean without being condescending or patronizing. You are a great educator. I wish you every success with this channel.
I never understood the theory of making good melodies before, I would just put random notes until it sounded ok. This video alone has opened my eyes to a new world of actually learning music. Thank you.
I love down-to-Earth, straight foward education. You know what we want and need before we do. Anticipating the needs of the young producers, knowing what we are going through, identifying and relating the knowledge you know we need. That's awesome. Some people are going to wish they had seen a tutorial like this years ago. Great work, Please keep it coming. I rarely find tutorials that I will add to my favorites. Another thing about this tutorial, it is timeless information. It will help you in 'any' production situation, environment, software, etc.
For the past year I was honestly looking at making music all wrong, I'd look at how to make a such n such beat and it never explained the music theory. These kinda videos truly help summarise and make things a whole lot easier to learn so big thanks man
I am someone that has a every minimal understanding of music but listening to the way you explain it is phenomenal. I thank you and your team for your hard work. I look forward to working with all you blessings
I have some problem where I lose interest in what I'm making, can't stand listening to it anymore, or hear it as bad even though it sounded or will sound great later. I also feel like I'm being unoriginal or ripping off something else when I make the melody like I feel it comes naturally.
Neonsix "those who try not to imitate anything produce nothing." It's not original, but it had a good meaning so I decided to share it. Probably wasn't too helpful though. Good luck anyway
This is really normal. Trying listening to as wide a variety of music as you can, and just keep doing stuff, even if you don’t feel inspired or energetic. The more you think about it, the more intuitive it will seem
I do this to but I compare like what I am working on now to my best beat and if the one I'm working on becomes better I think about jus scrapping my former best beat. But if it doesn't come close I restart.
I did this and that's why I started learning music theory. You just don't get used to nice, wholesome sound with little bit of theory behind it. And that Dali reference up there is big factssssssh
This only proves i have a very long road ahead of me if i want to make it in the industry, I'm not worried about being on top or even the best. I just know music can and will help me be somebody, thankful to have people willing to take a lot of their time upload videos and teach people who really wants it as bad as i do. Thank you so much man, your tutorials are helping me approve as an artist and its changing my life so positively! I hope you dont ever stop
Anyone who hates on this your father is the Devil! How can you NOT SEE that this as simple as it seems shines a big light! Good work! Been using FL for years and you still taught me something! Thanks Bro!
DAMN, I was lookin for this tips almost my entire life! This is really complicated to people who doesnt even know about what "Musical Notation" is. God bless you. liked subbed
There is a specific rule for large leaps in melodies, it goes: “Not more than one consecutive leap of more than a 4th” and that “leaps of a fifth or greater must be followed by contrary motion.” I could be wrong about the specific interval, but you get the point. Edit: Having thought about this I am wrong. Two consecutive intervals of a 4th make a 7th, which isn’t very nice (unless you like jazz), so it’s actually not more than one consecutive leap of more than a third. Of course, you may like to know that, along with two consecutive perfect 4ths making an apparent 7th, two consecutive perfect fifths make a 9th, which is the most jarring of all the intervals. It’s a slightly nicer way to approach such an interval, which can be useful to know depending on the type of melody you are trying to write.
Omgeee i absolutely love your channel and all of your lessons I'm so addicted, I've used FL studio in the past and have made quite a few beats, but i never read any tutorials or took any classes, i just love music and making beats, and i can play by ear and make the exact beat as to what I'm hearing in my head, however I'd like to learn all concepts of studio production and theory and I'd like to learn how to properly use FL studio to all of it's potential so that's why I'm here as i don't have the time to take classes per say. I'm very happy that i found you sir
A couple other good pointers: *Learn your tendency tones (just google "music theory tendency tones" if you don't know what that means) and how certain notes almost always resolve in most music (example: 7th scale degree always resolves up to the root after a V7 chord while the 4th scale degree in V7s resolves down to the 3rd, stuff like that) *Learn the pentatonic scale and begin to think of the 4th scale degree and the 7th scale degree in your normal major scale (which exist outside of the pentatonic scale) as separate tones with different feels to them than the rest of the pentatonic. *if you want to start getting fancy, start learning about accidentals like your tritone (note inbetween 4/5th scale degree, good for blues), flat 2, sharp 6, etc, and where they fit in well. Melody should flow. Like he said don't make big jumps too often unless you're trying to do something specific. That's pretty important.
I LOVE what you say abou using the same note back to back! I do that A LOT, and not just with the melody, it really give certain instruments some pop, depending on your beat.
"this is what I used to do when i was a young producer sitting at my computer desk... I would whistle, like, at 12 AM, 2 AM..." 0_0 that is literally me right now at my age. its like 1 am rn and trying to make music and I havent really learned music theory. I literally do everything in music by ear and/or watching someone else play.
It's been 2 years man. U still doing music. I'm trying to start writing music rn lol. I saw this comment from 2 years ago and just wondering where u are now
That sort of implied tip of 'working in your head' is a good one too. I get hit by inspiration when I'm usually not in front of the keyboard, so it pays to build the ability to focus your thoughts, build stuff in your head and then translate it to the daw. Recording stuff on your phone is a great way to preserve the inspiration.
I had to laugh so hard when you talked about the whistlin’ part... hahah cause I’m still doing it like this and my mom probably thinks I’m gettin’ crazy or she might think I’m doing like a spiritual lol
Thank you for your vids like these, i've been producing for years but some of your vids really help me with things i've missed by learning everything from just playing around with FL
Been watching your tutorials for the longest time ... big bad & heavy delivery so user friendly and at a level to fully understand regardless how much musical knowledge we have .. bigup bwb 👏❤💯
Very good advice. "Good" melodies are not easy. I'll try this out today. Thanks. - P.S. What's with the 83 down thumbs??? I don't understand. What's not to like? Even if this info is well known to you it's not necessary to dislike. I think people don't understand what the dislike button is for. Also, this advice is good, useful AND free! Why would anyone dislike? Maybe I am ignorant of how the internet works. Anyway, I appreciate this channel.
I know one thing I disliked is that he makes a point about "closing the gap" between notes, which goes against one of the main ideas of writing music, which is to give your notes and melodies "space." You do not need to fill the entire piece with notes and the masterful composers are the ones that know how to effectively use silence(space). Plus, the whole staying within one octave for the melody. Maybe a good tip for a complete beginner, but a very limiting rule to anyone that is slightly adept at the skill.
That's it. Auto transfer function button is a great present to me ;) Really Thank you. I'm a foreigner. I can read and understand this video. I really appreciate it I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had the same problem. Try learn a little music theory, what is scales and such. Learn minor scale, thats the most popular rn, and make melodies only in that scale. They always gonna be melodic, because they are in scale (In FL its very easy press stamp button in piano roll and choose minor natural. Also analyzing great solo pieces really helps
I think there aren't rules in music and you must do whatever you want and like. If you like to make note 1 high and note 2 very low, than you must do it.
I used to keep all my melodies in the same octave until one day I lowered some notes and raised a few and it sounded something similar to diary of a mad man by Ozzy. For newbies keep it in the same octave until you increase you theory knowledge.
wow actually thank you so much, this helped me more than you think! i owe you for this one man, one of the best and understanding videos thank you so much for this tutorial
Really helpful tips man. Especially the second tip about translating the music in our head into FL rather than the other way around. I think I was working backwards and having a hard time. Thanks again! -Joe
thanks alot man ur a huge inspiration i want to be an expert on the piano AND producing&engineering where should I start? is it worth paying for a coach? Currently im using FL studio 12 and MPX16 Akai Professional, im a real beginner but my love for the artistic form of musical creation is real as well
Yeah I aint paying 2000$ for some in-depth lessons - when im in this early stage of mastering the art! I realized that chords and notes are the keys, no pun intended - to learning more about the piano. Music theory etc. Thanks for the tip.
I hope every producer who reads this gets famous

Bih just pay me tf 😤
Yes Sir!

Casper plug thanks man you too
I always find a great melody, then I forget it within three seconds ;-;
Exactly!!
Do you think recording while you play around on your keyboard and experiment so that you can remember better might work?
Yeah i make a melody when iam outside but when i go home to make it i forget it.😁

His music theory info is legit. I'd recommend it to anyone.
His "music theory" videos are a joke honestly
George Meadway Helped me out a lot. The music theory in a day course is also helpful.
I'm sure it's helpful for some, but the guy knows very little about actual music theory

True but it also has to be interesting so the audience will never be bored of it the band primus is a great example
Me too bro me too.....

A couple other good pointers:
*Learn your tendency tones (just google "music theory tendency tones" if you don't know what that means) and how certain notes almost always resolve in most music (example: 7th scale degree always resolves up to the root after a V7 chord while the 4th scale degree in V7s resolves down to the 3rd, stuff like that)
*Learn the pentatonic scale and begin to think of the 4th scale degree and the 7th scale degree in your normal major scale (which exist outside of the pentatonic scale) as separate tones with different feels to them than the rest of the pentatonic.
*if you want to start getting fancy, start learning about accidentals like your tritone (note inbetween 4/5th scale degree, good for blues), flat 2, sharp 6, etc, and where they fit in well.
Melody should flow. Like he said don't make big jumps too often unless you're trying to do something specific. That's pretty important.
Whuuuut??
This is fire, today i saw something different on internet because everybody in their tutorials is doing pretty much the same thing over and over.

I think there aren't rules in music and you must do whatever you want and like. If you like to make note 1 high and note 2 very low, than you must do it.
Yeah, but doing it you may can't get the plessure of making a song and think: "oh god, i created Beethoven's 5th synphony "
But the rules can help a it out Too
I used to keep all my melodies in the same octave until one day I lowered some notes and raised a few and it sounded something similar to diary of a mad man by Ozzy. For newbies keep it in the same octave until you increase you theory knowledge.
wow actually thank you so much, this helped me more than you think! i owe you for this one man, one of the best and understanding videos thank you so much for this tutorial
7:43 You spin me round XD
Hey you have a way of teaching better than most. I'm usually a quick learner but the way you explain things is great, easily understood. Thank you.
Very instructive
Really helpful tips man. Especially the second tip about translating the music in our head into FL rather than the other way around. I think I was working backwards and having a hard time. Thanks again! -Joe
Ahh it feels weird

You feel like you getting spit in your ear too?
My father has been using "froot loops" or FL studio for YEARS and im just learning, Thanks!!
thanks alot man ur a huge inspiration
i want to be an expert on the piano AND producing&engineering
where should I start? is it worth paying for a coach?
Currently im using FL studio 12 and MPX16 Akai Professional, im a real beginner but my love for the artistic form of musical creation is real as well
The Truth nah don't get a coach just use TH-cam lol that's how I learned,I'm not a master but everything I learned is from TH-cam
Yeah I aint paying 2000$ for some in-depth lessons - when im in this early stage of mastering the art! I realized that chords and notes are the keys, no pun intended - to learning more about the piano. Music theory etc.
Thanks for the tip.
Didn't expect the beatboxing. Fire af
