Harmonies can make a boring song good, and a good song great. One of the reasons why No Villains has been a favorite fnf song for me is because of all the intertwining melodies that play throughout almost the entire song, it's all so fun to listen to
I really appreciate you teaching music theory through the ideas of friday night funkin, helps me concentrate on the subject being autistic and having a special interest on FnF at the moment.
I’ve always been a huge fan of composing and am recently composing my pice for my music final this year. I really appreciate such simplification that really helps with our lives. As a fan of classical composing, I’m fascinated by how a composer and explain without using any terminologies that to me might be necessary in order to explain something. Great work putting these in to words and conveying to a wider audience that one can enjoy without even knowing any basic music theory at all whatsoever. Keep your longest solo ever ringing, as it’ll truly be the long I’ve ever heard. 😉
This is definitely useful for Ableton. I do need a tutorial on how to make FNF chromatic notes on Ableton slide using the 'Note Expression' button which can make the notes slide to different pitches, most of time for trying to slide it wouldn't work, or the sliding sounding off. All of the previous tutorials on it were either using an older Ableton (like Ableton 10) or just weren't very clear.
Excellent tutorial! It's flexible enough to be useful, while skipping over a ton of material to keep it a nice consumable length. I'm a big fan of "do straight thirds and nudge it if it's wrong", it's easy enough to do on-the-spot when singing too!
This is definitely helpful for music I'm making currently! I have one question though, are there any other intervals that work well at least most of the time like fifths or sixths?
Yes! 6ths are just 3rds after displacing them by an octave (the BF harmony at the end is a 6th) 4ths and 5ths can work *very* sparingly. They give kind of a robotic effect
So 4ths are just octave-displaced 5ths, and vice versa. Parallel 4ths (two notes in 4th harmony in a row) is a little more palatable than parallel 5ths. Also, you can get away with closer intervals in higher octaves than lower octaves. 3rds don’t really work in the bass range, but in really high ranges you can even make 2nds work in the right context
@@longestsoloever that makes total sense. My “Advanced 18th-19th Century Western Music Theory” class made sure that I created a habit of avoiding parallel fifths like the devil (or as my theory teacher would say, “like the tritone”)
am I mistaken or is the “basic melody” happy birthday in French ( I speak French I think I’d know ) ( I don’t think it is I might be stupid I haven’t heard it in a while ) ( but I feel like I know it’s a French song or something I’m probably stupid )
people typically use a boyfriend soundfont. a soundfont is a file that containd a bunch of samples assigned to keys on the piano roll. Load it up in a soundfont player like sforzando and it should work
I wouldn't recommend mentioning anything DAW specific like you did with hiding notes not in the scale, A lot of people are coming to these videos new to production and it could confuse them
Hey Dean, about you take down of my video was Hex Detected of your metal version song. i am truly sorry for copyrighted because. i forgot to credit your name and didn't realized that's the copyrighted of video. so maybe i can use the screenshot instead and Dean. i have a reason why. check in a gmail i message you. and i promise i won't do that again.

While I'm not a musician myself (yet?), this is definetly helpful. 👍🏻

@@longestsoloever Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.
These tutorials are very useful because I know little about music theory
Even if Dean doesn't try he still make the best inst
Adding this to my collection of knowledge...
Great video, but like, could you cover Sink from the “Below the Depths” fnf mod? It’ led a great song
It will be good to know how to apply Voice Effects to the vocals
Nice
tbh i thought they do the same melody so thats what i did but now i know
Interestingly enough, I'm working on a mod with Mommy Mearest's Vocals and I uploaded a wip recently
Hey Dean, can you make a tutorial of how to use a compressor in FL studio.
I have one in my Music Production Lessons playlist on this channel
@@longestsoloever ok tysm

This feels like a Blues Clues lesson
I wish fl had the features albelton has
Interesting
WoW
I have no interest at making music but your tutorial is amazing
Yoo so thats why my vocal harmonies sucks! Thanks a lot. I am are not newbie and know music theory. But doesn't think about that..
That instrumental is awesome what is the song name

K any way how is your day going

@@longestsoloever looool
@@longestsoloever that is good to hear

Can you make a vid on how to make a custom menu/ menu theme
Yup
At 14:30 you say octaves don’t effect harmony, in most cases. What cases would it effect harmonies in?
So 4ths are just octave-displaced 5ths, and vice versa. Parallel 4ths (two notes in 4th harmony in a row) is a little more palatable than parallel 5ths.
Also, you can get away with closer intervals in higher octaves than lower octaves. 3rds don’t really work in the bass range, but in really high ranges you can even make 2nds work in the right context

“Frere Jacques”, you’re right on the French part.

Can I use the audio of your songs/covers of fnf songs
Can you turn what you just taught us song? I really like how it goes
So you're telling me that a TH-cam Channel called "Longestsoloever" just made a video about DUETS!?
I have a question, where did you get Bf chromatic scales, i have been trying to find one a long time but can't
the official fnf song stems folder on google drive has a chromatic scale for bf readily available (amongst a few other basegame characters)
@@_stardustcolors Yo dude thanks, you helped me out a ton, hope you have a great rest of your day
