Hey hey InsomniaSG, lovely to see you again! That's the best strategy for depression, and I use it too :) It's tough out there and can be even tougher on the inside. It reminds me of this quote from the book, The Once and Future King by T.H. White: ""The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”" Thanks again for being a part of the Hack Music Theory community, InsomniaSG, and until next time, take care and learn lots :) Kate

I like to mess around with bass notes & see if I come up with something cool. In my current song, I was dragging a bass note all over the place & discovered an A chord sounds so neat with an F# bass. It doesn't linger too long, as my bass notes are kinda mobile in this song... plus the chords don't sustain very long. In my chorus, most of the measures have 4 chords. My advice is to experiment with bass notes & you'll soon discover more hidden gems, like my A/F#. :)

Take care, and we hope to see you again soon for more theory hacks :)
I'm having trouble understanding what it means to be in the key of something, say the key of c. It has to start in C and end in C? What is "it"? How come can start a note on A and still be in C? What does this actually mean? This feels overwhelming I just would like to produce music similar to Hucci 😭😭😭

Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community! What kind of music do you make? To answer your question. Yes, all the instruments/voices in your section (eg. chorus) should be in the same mode/scale. However, different sections of your song can (and should) be in different modes/scales, otherwise your song will get boring.

Can you do a video on drill 808 glides?
That looks like Ritan Park in Beijing, the final Tai Chi video at the end. I used to work very close to there when I lived in Beijing. Glad to see you guys back, been meaning to get working more on the Apprenticeship Course as I have been put into hotel quarantine in Shanghai, but got sidetracked with other issues. Will get working through it soon when I need to go through quarantine again when I am back in UK in just over a week.
Hi Comic Book Cretin, how lovely to hear from you again, especially now that you're in the Apprentice family! That's awesome that you'll be putting your quarantine time to very good use ;) We like knowing that we're keeping you company! Where abouts in the UK are you based?

West coast melody please 🙏
You can use any of our hacks in any genre, so give this one a try when making bass lines for your West Coast music! However you can also watch this video where we teach a hack from Ice Cube's "Arrest the President": th-cam.com/video/3gBSRph3SU8/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps Jashan :)
Your tutorials are really interesting to me - thank you very much for it! I also wonder if you have released some music / whole songs? And if, where can I find it?
Aww thanks so much Bernard, and a very warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community! What kind of music do you make? How kind of you to ask about our music! Yes, you will find us on most streaming platforms under "Ray Harmony" and "Kate Harmony". Take care, Bernard and have a lovely week :)

I listened to your music. Both of your voices are sounding very good and the production is great! "Down with the drama" is one of my favorites :-)
I hope to see and hear more in the future, keep up the good work!
Thanks for listening, Bernard, we really appreciate your kind words! Down with the Drama is awesome :) We actually did a whole series of hacks unfolding how we made it which you can find here, if you're interested: th-cam.com/play/PLgYcaQlDpHN63jnHQaWD6M3-zuhtMjyMm.html Have a great week!!

Hey gus u're awesome i love ur productions and tutorials . Can u add Polish Language on ur films ? I think a lot of people from PL do watching our films ^^
Aww thanks so much for your kind words, Aroo Rzf, and a warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community! What kind of music do you make? We're thrilled to hear from our Polish audience, it's so incredible how we can all be so connected even when we're half a world away! We'd love to be able to offer subtitles in other languages, however, because it's just the two of us doing Hack Music Theory our time is limited. We do have a suggestion though! We add the written steps for each hack in the description below each video, so you can copy and paste that text into your favourite translator and hopefully that will help! Take care, and we hope to see you again soon for more theory hacks :)
I'm having trouble understanding what it means to be in the key of something, say the key of c. It has to start in C and end in C? What is "it"? How come can start a note on A and still be in C? What does this actually mean? This feels overwhelming I just would like to produce music similar to Hucci 😭😭😭
Hi Kevin, thanks for stopping by, and a warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community, we really appreciate you being here! We're so sorry to hear that you're feeling overwhelmed though, that's horrible. But, we can definitely help you, and it won't cost you any money!

Hello my friends! What is up?
I missed music making, as it's a long time I haven't made any new material. And good news, I got my first dose of covid vaccine!
Hi Muhammadreza, so happy to hear from you!! How's your business going these days? When you're busy building a business it can be easy for music making to slip to the side, but it will always be there for you when you need it!
We are good, thank you for asking. We are planning to move again soon, so things are a little chaotic, but all will be well :)
Thank you so much for coming to say hi, Muhammadreza, we love hearing from you. Take care and talk soon, Kate :)
i hope that the developers of music won't notice and patch this so we can exploit it more :D
also, are you writing music yourselves? i would love to listen to some of the masters' work!

How do you guys get your reaper piano roll to look like that? Seriously cant figure it out lol
Hey Cody, thanks for stopping by and connecting, and a warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community! Regarding the piano roll. What in specific are you referring to?
Thanks again!!!! How does the chosen mode for the bass line relate to the mode/scale of the main melody/harmony? Does it have to be the same? Both major or minor?
I was going to ask the same. The whole song should be in Frigian mode? I like this sound, reminds me of NIN 😎
Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the Hack Music Theory community! What kind of music do you make?
To answer your question. Yes, all the instruments/voices in your section (eg. chorus) should be in the same mode/scale. However, different sections of your song can (and should) be in different modes/scales, otherwise your song will get boring. Here's a video we did on this topic: th-cam.com/video/Hv2Fgck_F5I/w-d-xo.html Take care, and we hope to see you again soon for more theory hacks :)
