@@nowayintaiwan That is what I thought he was talking about at first so I started playing around with them and was pleasantly surprised with my results . I have been sleeping on the helpers for too long.

No makin corny faces, no overuse of wack slang, no talking to hear yourself talk, just easy to follow tips and explanations and quality music. Good stuff!
I like how he says "9 times outta 10 you're gonna make something garbage, at least in *YOUR* opinion, that's gonna be garbage" I've made so many beats that I thought were garbage (and still think they suck) but my friends ask if I actually made those beats. Ive learned that sometimes you need the right people to jump on your production to complete the sound. Some people might not carry the right vision but others will. Don't doubt yourself and keep creating ✌️
Been producing for 15 years, I know real when I see one. You are very good at this, congratulations brother hope its still going all right for you. Those tips with the 3rd and 5th to base the melody was the kind of thing I was looking for, thank you for helping
yo man i found this epic thing called audiation which is where you hear music in your head. like think of all stars and you can hear "somebody once told me" and the song in your head. i think that this is important skill for producers where maybe when they hear 808 pattern from a speaker, in their head they can hear like a beat and some melodies. producers should practice this and one way to practice this is trying to focus on it and then humming out or singing the melody. anyways love your work
@@prime974 well you dont need perfect pitch, what you could do is just record yourself humming, or maybe it is drums, you can tap onto a table or smth and record the audio and then just hit notes on the keyboard one by one trying to find melody. this is quite tedious tho, but in the beginning this helped me a lot. you can also practice ear training where when you hear 2 notes after one another you can find the interval of notes between them from which you can get the melody really quick. it's mostly just trial and error in the beginning, but definitely do practice ear training and i've linked this video by adam neely who is jazz bass player, you might find it useful th-cam.com/video/KMqOOokv4TM/w-d-xo.html
Or with the recording you have send it to your channel rack and open up the plugin wave candy. Adjust it to spectrum and slide the scale knob all the way up and it'll tell you with 100% accuracy what the notes in your sample is including each note in a chord progression. If you're just recording yourself humming you could also right click the menu button on your audio clip from your playlist and select edit in pitch editor and turn the variance down if you want to eliminate random unintentional notes but it's not mandatory then take the audio into edison hit the wrench icon and select convert and dump to piano roll to convert the audio directly to midi.
After the intro I thought this was going to be a b.s video and I ended up staying the whole time through, saving to my playlists and proceeding to sh*t my pants in awe when I heard the music you come up with.
This helped me, a newbie so much. I can’t find the fki cheesy one shot anywhere on splice though. Shoot. But anyways this has helped me in more ways than one can think! Solute!
There are so many more great techniques, like exploiting the two semitone intervals, closest 3rd/7th, suspending 3rds for tension, and pentatonics. To start, the best place to write hummable melodies? Definitely by starting with humming. No one is trying to keep it from you. The people that know what they're doing are telling everyone they can, they're just too old for anyone to want to listen.
Look. Listening to rules you didn't set for yourself is caging yourself. Listen to the beat on Vice City by Jay Rock, can you sing the melody? Naw. Why should you limit your chords? Use all the chords you want. It all comes down to who you make music for, yourself or other people. This isn't school, it's a free playground. Make the rules to your own game, unless you want to follow other people's rules.
This comment really works well if you have the musical intelligence of Jacob Collier, Mozart and the like. To everyone else, you're prescribing to wander aimlessly on their musical journey and discover their rules on their own. So what if someone was intuitively making their melodies simpler on their own and came across this video? Where the opportunity for a person to solidify what they felt into what they know could very well turn into them rejecting what they felt was right as the result of your comment. And its not like I completely disagree with what you're saying; In my opinion, you shouldn't take any point given to you and adhere to it like its the gospel for perfect music or what have you, rather it should expose you to something you didn't know or it should help you conceptualize/understand things you are familiar with but don't have a full grasp on. From there you can test it out and if it lines up with your musical direction you can adopt it, or toss it if it doesn't. Ultimately I perceive your statement as an encouragement to have an open mind in exploring musical direction, which I whole-heartedly agree with, but you state that while condemning the insight or "rules" of others and to partake in that knowledge will negatively affect a person's music, based off how you wrote your comment. I honestly believe what you wrote does more harm than help, considering the topic of the video and the audience it should reach, hence the lengthy response on my part. I could be wrong with what your intentions were in your comment, but if that's the case you've got the issue of disconnect between what you wanted to express versus how it's perceived. "Listening to rules you didn't set for yourself is NOT caging yourself, but it can if you let it, and even then isn't a bad thing if it helps. You make the rules to your own game."
@@rsxlancer Rules is cool but its facts it can lock you in a box that you don't want. Like for example a chord progression from the rule book would be 1-5-6-4 if i stuck to rules i would think thats the only one i can do in that order and if i stuck to rules all those chords would be diatonic chords etc
@@DETERMINOLOGY you miss the part in my comment where I said rules should be used to help explore/rationalize rather than to strictly adhere to? Yeah, you can grow beyond rules and be uncaged or whatever, that doesn't mean those rules won't build you up if you stick to them. I'm just saying rules are alot easier to step away from once you know what you're veering away from. Like you see 1465 as a golden pattern then sure beaten path but you are now also aware of the degrees in a scale and you can grow by changing the order or which degrees are used or the number of changes in a progression even. And once you hear the scale you've been using is diatonic you can infer that there must be other scales and go mess around with chromatic or some nonsense.

If you use FL Studio 20, don't need this.

After the intro I thought this was going to be a b.s video and I ended up staying the whole time through, saving to my playlists and proceeding to sh*t my pants in awe when I heard the music you come up with.
This was a mini music theory tutorial
That was a really dope beat though!!
Awesome video very helpful....THANKS!!!
I guess it's why I like Jazz so much, you can't hum it if and it's complex. But my brain doesn't fall asleep.
Best video I ever seen 'bout melodies
The up and down! Bruh!
Please do videos on song arrangement
Awesome video ! He explained this very well

13:25 it's a kitty.
My tip for chord progressions is making them on the website chordplayer and then export the midi
Great tips bro! Thanks.
Great dude 👍
Nice! Nice indeed!
Preciate you so much
You really know what your talking about.. would you mind being a mentor? I would like to learn with a top notch producer.
Thank u for this
4:20 it's similar to Shawn Mendes stitches
Great info
This is pretty obvious and genre specific
Such a humble and genuine dude!! I hope he gets everything he deserves❤❤❤
I think its best to just get a scaler or similar vst and learn chords that way
Very nice , Thanks ‼️
13:33 be a cat

BUT BROOOOO @11:50 SOMEONE WALKED BEHIND YOU!!!
WAS ANYONE ELSE IN YOOOO HOUSE???????
What gets me is that FL studio already has scale helpers but for someone who is colorblind(like me) it's super difficult to see.
What is the instrument of the forth melodie at the beginning pleeease ?
Yup, I agree he’s the Shizz
it since to get advice from someone who seems to actually know a bit of actual music theory
❤️❤️❤️🙏
