Making EDM is one of my goals as a producer and you have helped me understand so much stuff and taught me valuable techniques! Thanks for helping the community 🙏 love ur content man 😄
Wow thanks man Tried this in FL and it did help me to make a small melody, just mostly following your steps since you're showin em and you want people to know bout this
Your vids are great! There not at all self involved, “just lovin to hear yourself talk or be on screen”. You can tell you’re really trying to share the knowledge and tricks in which you’ve learned or discovered, over what I’m sure has been a journey of many years of plug-in away at this. I’m glad you’ve decided to share what you’ve learned with us cause I’ve probably learned the most from your videos. Your videos are never terribly long they’re usually just long enough. Some people don’t realize that we don’t wanna watch 20 to 30 minute fucking videos. I watch the video on sidechaining the other day and when I was done I think I knew less than when I started this guy just was all over the place and I couldn’t tell what the hell he was talking about. I actually think I got dumber from watching that video.
I used to overuse and abuse C Major in every song i made/remixed, now however i kinda just randomly pick a scale and go with it, or change it if it sounds too dull or too bright for the particular idea.
i'm just learning production but i have known music theory for years.. i like to use the circle of fifths and Coltrane's method, he used sacred Geometry even to write it's pretty cool... the most basic used chord progression used all thru 90's til around 2006 ish was the Canon in D by Pachelbel.. that 4 note progression used over a thousand times. i find it sickening at this point lol... you have good vids tho bruh, keep teaching us the tricks.
@@AlexRome everything. haha. where do i start. I just installed Ableton 10 live Suite the other day. i really just need to learn how to use the program first. then start watching more people like yourself who teach how to use it. your boot camp thing sounds really cool. I follow a guy on twitch who does song reviews and stuff too. Online community is the way to go now. do you have a video to suggest for me to begin with. I am a bit familiar with using DAW, I used Cubase before but mostly messing around making recordings with guitars no real post production or anything like that.
Hey can anyone help me actually the thing is that when I'm bouncing the stems for mixing from the project automation is not printing with the stems which are automated in the project but when I'm playing that tracks in my project automation is working fine I'm not able to figure out what is the problem behind this help me.
A numerical sequence that works well in a major scale will also be good in a minor scale, but each chord will flip over and sound different. e.g. 1564 in C major is major-major-minor-major, but in C minor it would be minor-minor-major-minor. That is to say, in a major scale, 3 of the 4 most useful chords are majors (I, IV, V) and one is a minor (vi), but in a minor scale, you mostly use three minors (i, iv, v) and one major (VI). e.g. In C major you use a lot of C, F, G, Am, but in A minor you use a lot of Am, Dm, Em, F.
@@terrydemo Its not exactly the same though. Sure the used notes are identical, but as your root note is A instead of C, you start counting from A not from C. So you end up having different 1,4,5,6 chords in A minor, than in C major.
"select the most commonly used notes in music and create chords then randomize a melody till something sounds good" - you have now learned how to write music
In a minor key, the i, iv and v are minor chords, and the VI is a major chord. You could definitely use these chords to make something nice sounding, but if you want to create that 'classic pop loop' in a minor key, you would use essentially an inversion of this, viz: Start with A minor as your i chord, then your 3 other chords would be III (C) VI(F) and VII(G) To sum up, Major key I, IV, VI and vi are the same chords as III, VI, VII, and i in the relative minor key.
using Alex's idea, in minor it would be 1, 3 6, 7. if you use Aminor (the relative minor to CMaj), the chords will be exactly the same, A, C, F, G, because CMaj and Aminor have exactly the same chords.
helloo all, i want to buy some studio monitors for producing which one would you get? i was about to get krk rookit mytical but may not be best option... someone can helph me? which one would you get considering i want a good monitors, arround 300$ budget but if you recomend me something of 400 o 500 very hard i can too
Think you so much Alex. I think this is the best tutorial you've ever made. Also I teach game development and your teaching style has influenced me a lot. Your awesome [▪︎ •]♡
I've been DEEP in the rabbit hole with your videos. You got a spotify? These songs are too good.
Get them NFTS rolling

Thankyou bro🙏🏻♥️
I love it
i couldnt get the FREE Chord Building Blueprint Guide... anything wrong?\
i'm just learning production but i have known music theory for years.. i like to use the circle of fifths and Coltrane's method, he used sacred Geometry even to write it's pretty cool... the most basic used chord progression used all thru 90's til around 2006 ish was the Canon in D by Pachelbel.. that 4 note progression used over a thousand times. i find it sickening at this point lol... you have good vids tho bruh, keep teaching us the tricks.
Yea of course man. As a beginner, what would you like to see regarding tutorials?

Hey ALEX! Does this work with minor keys, too? 6, 5, 4? I wasn't really sure since the demonstration was in major. Thanks!
C major = A minor, so yes these chords in the major scale would be the most common A minor chords
A numerical sequence that works well in a major scale will also be good in a minor scale, but each chord will flip over and sound different. e.g. 1564 in C major is major-major-minor-major, but in C minor it would be minor-minor-major-minor.

"select the most commonly used notes in music and create chords then randomize a melody till something sounds good"
- you have now learned how to write music
U upset?
@@AlexRome you can literally use three ableton stock plugins and achieve the same result
You've learned to write music that already exists in abundance ;)
Does this apply to minor as well? The 1,4,5,6 that is? Thanks so much
In a minor key, the i, iv and v are minor chords, and the VI is a major chord. You could definitely use these chords to make something nice sounding, but if you want to create that 'classic pop loop' in a minor key, you would use essentially an inversion of this, viz:

I love the way your wearing your beanie HA ! Excellent channel !
Wow
today is 4 chords day,it seems ;-)
20% Gang
I see video title and read it like: I, V, VI, IV
probably most important chords in music history, not just EDM. 😅
I know, I’m just an edm guy lol.
Hi Robin Hood
Came here to say the exact same thing 🤣
Same here 😂😂
@@noahderr Same🤣
This video is brought to you by Carhartt
👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀
why my man look like hipster robin hood
At least edit the thumbnail, Its so triggering, unless you don't know what the problem is.. which is understandable 🤭
Guys is it me , or there is literally 0 money in edm these days. its like all they do is make packs and sound design
ofc, everyone, their mother, and me are doing it. saturated market
The trick is to make money everywhere possible in music, stamps, education, tracks , TH-cam etc
Musicians are always starving artists
What do you think is the best most respectable way to make money in EDM Mr. Dark?
@@VenterVisuals well I mean . Its as if 'Usain bolt' had to sell shoes and aerodynamic dressing packs to survive
