+GhouLingo [#1 Ghost writer] it makes sense, i just started so when im adding to the beat i can mentally "hear" what i want it to do, but then i have trouble making the computer produce the exact sounds i want.
+GhouLingo [#1 Ghost writer] If there's nothing inside your head then you probably wouldn't want to be making music in the first place. If you genuinely want to make music then there will be melody in your head.
ta ta ta....tata tata ta....taaaaaa...ta.ta.taaa.... ta ta ta.... ta.ta.ta....and the music goes on. :) remember me in your mind if you make a superhit out of this.
I found that using computers to write tunes is a lot less convenient than using a small recorder or phone and singing into it. It's far more spontaneous and you don't lose your ideas by getting distracted and sidetracked with computers. Once the idea is recorded then you can sit at the computer to finalise the structure and shape of the music.
This is fantastic. You have an awesome way of teaching music. I love your method of working where it feels like the music is already written but you're just revealing it.
Watched a lot of videos on music production and I must say, that out of everyone your stuff is super easy to follow. Your analogy's are also on point as well. Keep up the great teaching.
"You're honestly the best guy on TH-cam when it comes to teaching music!" I agree, there is such a focus to your videos where anyone can follow along and can follow every step you make without being lost. thanks man
I don't know if there is anyone who does this better than you, the way you teach and encourage for own development and takes on things is truly amazing, I am promoting your channel everywhere
I love how your channel covers such a wide variety. Are you going to be doing anymore videos on how to mix a track by the way? Those videos really gave my production a huge boost.
I just wanna say, Im a design instructor/designer/artist, illustrator painter, I understand it all very well. So the way you explain music and focused on its anatomy in numerical and philosophical terms really helped me understand the way music operates and why, “theoretically”. Always about Patterns and harmony/ contrast and of course hierarchy. You’re a great instructor, thank you!! Ive watched about 7 videos so far tbh LOL
A theme consists of short melodic phrases and what music theory calls endpoints. A short melodic phrase is usually 2-4 measures in length, but they can be 3 measures in length but those would be considered asymmetrical phrase lengths vs symmetrical phrase lengths. A endpoint is one long note value. It comes after a shorter note value and it is usually placed on the strong beats of the measure or in your case, it can be tied over from the prior measure. So an endpoint indicates the ending to a short melodic phrase or theme. A theme has many features.
You're the REAL FL STUDIO GURU!! man iv learned allot from just watching your channel alone. iv gone to school for recording and music technology with some of the best mixers and producers in the world (literally) and i STILL learn something every time i watch one of your videos. dosent even matter what the video is about. lol
I spent 10 years using the pencil tool... just finally got a MIDI keyboard. now I am learning something new again, makes me feel younger haha. my original instruments were guitar and trumpet. Piano defenately takes real talent, I am eager to learn though. Also I just learned guitar tabs, really never learned Music Theory.. thank you for your videos!!! whenever I meet a new bedroom producer I always refer them to your site ;)
I've learned so much from watching these videos. I definitely feel like I've improved. So thank you. Thank you so much for these videos. They're a godsend. :)
the reason it sounds strange, is because its not proper vibrato, this is more of a trill real vibrato goes above and below the note (not just above), and its not sudden, the note has to glide up and down smoothly, not jumping from one pitch to another something else that's important to mention is that vibrato RARELY ever goes from one note to another. Very natural vibrato will not even be one of the 12 notes, it will hover in and out of intonation. This 'vibrato' sounds very contrived and robotic.
When I have more time I will very likely follow some courses on your website, you really know what you are doing, its awesome! I learn allot from your free lessons on youtube.
This has really helped me a lot I would like to learn as much as I can from you.....so I plan on watching every video you have made to enlighten myself much more.The easiest fl teaching by far
This is a new method I haven't used before, for vibrato. I find it sounds better to use subtle pitch LFO's. In 3xOsc you go to the pitch tab and very subtly increase the amount. Pressing the tempo button to sync sounds nice, and to have that delayed effect you wanted you increase the delay and attack time.
Thank you for your tutorials. You have a new subscriber! I find your teachings easy to follow and the analogies definitely help as well. Keep up the good work!
this is a good video. wow. you're really good at this and you explain well even for not so musically inclined people. I'm trying to teach myself to compose and you have wonderful advice. you earned yourself a subscriber!
Thanks bro. Love the explanation on how to design melody in emotional aspect, but not only picking notes around a scale. More of this would be helpful for me as a producer who wanna make OST which tells story.
Really neat stuff! I like the ghost template too as it guides melody note selection to be harmonious with chord note family. btw the acorn midi keyboard 49 I use is inexpensive and works nicely. A really nice philosophy based lesson. Thank you. mike
I kept seeing this channel recommended on my page but I thought the titles made things sound too simple. Figured it was poor information. Silly me! Great work! Subscribed.
Gonna get hooked up with your theory mixing and efxing lessons to patch in the small holes I have left in my knowledge next check. Awesome video as always. Please keep them as non one DAW specific teaching as possible. I bring all this into ableton which I find much quicker and more powerful.
Thanks a lot! I'm trying to start making music out of FL Studio, and it was challenging, because I'm not used to. But this video helps me to find out what to do and I'm gonna watch whole videos you uploaded. I'm kind of into dubstep like James Blake and Jamie xx, any recommendations?
You say in this vid that it's easiest to come up with the chord progression first, and then fit the melody into it. However, when I have ideas for new projects, I'll first come up with a melody...that I sing to myself kinda thing. So my question is - how do I find the chord progressions that go with the melody? Forgive me if you've already done a video for this. I don't play guitar or piano... Thanks! Loving the vids :)
VVerTTeXX In general all the old racing games n that :/ I dunno why but even though I hardly ever played gran turismo I get massive nostalgia when thinking about it lol, absolutely loved total immersion racing theme songs, forza 3/4 had good menu music too, and pgr2 soundtrack was amazing! they were all those early 2000s bass and synth sounds which was so awesome lol
Do you know of any good tutorials for equivalent ableton projects? I use your music theory ideas transversally, and I thank you for that knowledge. I was just wondering for the sake of learning ableton, as well with your teaching style. Or close to it. Thank you !
Great video as usual! Busyworksbeats I have a question about your website. Is there a forum section for premium members on your website? I'm lookin to sign up soon.
busy works - "just do what ever you hear in your head"

When I click down a different midi not than I hear in my mind, my idea screws up C^=
ta ta ta....tata tata ta....taaaaaa...ta.ta.taaa.... ta ta ta.... ta.ta.ta....and the music goes on. :) remember me in your mind if you make a superhit out of this.

You're honestly the best guy on TH-cam when it comes to teaching music!
+Step0nyou Thank you again for subscribing and writing me
+Step0nyou Agreed! All is told in calm and logic reasoning
+NullCreativity It'd be really funny if he actually literally use Logic and Reason in the tutorial.
I agree 100%
Step0nyou true
You're going to heaven, man. You're the best guy on TH-cam. I couldn't believe you were doing all this stuff that simple to understand.
"you're going to heaven" 😂😂
Hello God!
Ever heard of internet money ?
I found that using computers to write tunes is a lot less convenient than using a small recorder or phone and singing into it. It's far more spontaneous and you don't lose your ideas by getting distracted and sidetracked with computers. Once the idea is recorded then you can sit at the computer to finalise the structure and shape of the music.
that's what I do :)
I would like to listing to one of your songs!!
canturgan yeaaaa
Some of my ideas come while using the computer.
That moment when your scrolling thru useless tutorials about chord progression and busy comes thru in the clutch on autoplay
This is fantastic. You have an awesome way of teaching music. I love your method of working where it feels like the music is already written but you're just revealing it.
Best teacher on TH-cam as far as music goes, you're number one.
ＥＸｃｅｌ－ＥＮＴ thank you so much for subscribing

19:20 way to inculcate values into music , man! I wish you were my music teacher at school..... Keep it up!! Love from India!
I love how your channel covers such a wide variety. Are you going to be doing anymore videos on how to mix a track by the way? Those videos really gave my production a huge boost.
Hugo L we will. Thank you for subscribing
Instead of copy and pasting, you could also to duplicate a selection! Really comprehensive stuff you have here my dude.
I just wanna say,

I've been using FLS for almost 15 years, and this is still a fantastic tool for me! Thank you, Busy Works!
Great tutorial! especially the part when you explain the energy in music !
This taught me more than any of the music theory i've studied so far. Unbelievably simple.
You're the REAL FL STUDIO GURU!!
man iv learned allot from just watching your channel alone. iv gone to school for recording and music technology with some of the best mixers and producers in the world (literally) and i STILL learn something every time i watch one of your videos. dosent even matter what the video is about. lol
What kind of schools would you suggest to someone who wants to study in music production?
any school that focuses recording and music technology.
i love it. Tears in my eyes beautiful.
Big ups again to Busy works on his grind, respectin the beats.
I spent 10 years using the pencil tool... just finally got a MIDI keyboard. now I am learning something new again, makes me feel younger haha. my original instruments were guitar and trumpet.

This Channel is amazing i like the analogy you used to explain us thank you.
I've learned so much from watching these videos. I definitely feel like I've improved. So thank you. Thank you so much for these videos. They're a godsend. :)
man your analogies are incredible and make so much sense
Personally, I think the vibrato effect you used makes the overall sound worse.
+Crystal true, i think it would have sounded better if he used it a bit more sparingly
the reason it sounds strange, is because its not proper vibrato, this is more of a trill
real vibrato goes above and below the note (not just above), and its not sudden, the note has to glide up and down smoothly, not jumping from one pitch to another
something else that's important to mention is that vibrato RARELY ever goes from one note to another. Very natural vibrato will not even be one of the 12 notes, it will hover in and out of intonation. This 'vibrato' sounds very contrived and robotic.
Crystal I like to automate the pitches in vibrato and imagine the differences I'd make as if I were playing a string Instrument
Personally I think it would have sounded better if they were placed a little earlier along the long notes.
think he's over used it just for demonstration purposes...but yeah it's a bit much
glad I came across your website, this is GOLD in this day and age!
These videos help me keep focused on production. Thank you for the inspiration
Busy Works Beats inspires me the most.
When I have more time I will very likely follow some courses on your website, you really know what you are doing, its awesome! I learn allot from your free lessons on youtube.
Thank you for your videos. I've been using FL studio for many years and because of you I've learned new things. Thank you!
You should really teach a seminar on music production. Like a conference type of deal.
***** ;)
Busy Works Beats .TV u a real 1 g.

You are quite an amazing teacher, and you have the sounds to back it up too!!
This has really helped me a lot I would like to learn as much as I can from you.....so I plan on watching every video you have made to enlighten myself much more.The easiest fl teaching by far

Thanks bro. Love the explanation on how to design melody in emotional aspect, but not only picking notes around a scale. More of this would be helpful for me as a producer who wanna make OST which tells story.
Thanks ...thanks to your video I upgrated from 0 to 100 ... My quality and in general better music ..
yo thank u so much man u make me feel like creating beats are way easier and im a beginner
Thanx Goat. Amazing content to improve this music journey. 🙌

you can do slides on your keyboard if you have a pitch modulator
B.W.B is too dope at this... really deserves more likes
Greetings the chords are so nice.....Melody Magic Am getting this 1
I truly appreciate you and your teachings
Really neat stuff! I like the ghost template too as it guides melody note selection to be harmonious with chord note family. btw the acorn midi keyboard 49 I use is inexpensive and works nicely. A really nice philosophy based lesson. Thank you. mike
I kept seeing this channel recommended on my page but I thought the titles made things sound too simple. Figured it was poor information. Silly me! Great work! Subscribed.
Jus Had Thank you for joining us. Glad to have you.
anyways we can use pitch LFOs too to emulate the vibrato imo it sounds more natural
Alright! I just keep finding Busy Works :D love it
thankx for sharing this..its very helpful.. i got answers for lots of questions...
Gonna get hooked up with your theory mixing and efxing lessons to patch in the small holes I have left in my knowledge next check. Awesome video as always. Please keep them as non one DAW specific teaching as possible. I bring all this into ableton which I find much quicker and more powerful.
Also raw wavs and midis instead of fl files
Matthew Fornear Ableton is the most confusing piece of shit I've ever used xD
***** I switched from FL to abelton. It is confusing at first but it's easier to me
love your videos fam....great help in transitioning from reason to fl studio

Thanks for your tutorials. Not that I'm past the beginner stage, they're helping to become more knowledgeable about the details lol. Themes!
Thanks a lot! I'm trying to start making music out of FL Studio, and it was challenging, because I'm not used to. But this video helps me to find out what to do and I'm gonna watch whole videos you uploaded. I'm kind of into dubstep like James Blake and Jamie xx, any recommendations?
That melody is soo Bollywood if made little happier! :D

WUT YOU ONLY HAVE 48K SUBS?! that means you're not considered a youtuber. But you're soo goooooooooooooddd.
Man u are really good at music theory.
You say in this vid that it's easiest to come up with the chord progression first, and then fit the melody into it. However, when I have ideas for new projects, I'll first come up with a melody...that I sing to myself kinda thing. So my question is - how do I find the chord progressions that go with the melody?

after a meaningful tutorial like this and leave without a comment, imma feel like im stealing. you are the best teacher
Its so cool to see the workflow!
Is it possible to make melodies without chords? And how to play guitar chors on piano roll?
+Achira Sanjana Yes, you don't need chords for melodies this is only one technique
You can learn more here busyworksbeats.com/melodymagic
Chords remind me of Gran Turismo 4
VVerTTeXX In general all the old racing games n that :/ I dunno why but even though I hardly ever played gran turismo I get massive nostalgia when thinking about it lol, absolutely loved total immersion racing theme songs, forza 3/4 had good menu music too, and pgr2 soundtrack was amazing! they were all those early 2000s bass and synth sounds which was so awesome lol
Me too
Xeniq me too
good work on all your videos bruh keep it up I learn a lot from watching them 👍☝👌
Pls make a tutorial on guitar plugins and chord progression...
Dude you're awesome! I love your stuff man
Are melodies always have to be a system or can you just make melodies that come out of your mind? P.s I'm new to this , can anyone answer this?
Game, you're a damn good instructor !
Do you know of any good tutorials for equivalent ableton projects? I use your music theory ideas transversally, and I thank you for that knowledge. I was just wondering for the sake of learning ableton, as well with your teaching style. Or close to it. Thank you !
Earned a new subscriber so damn quick , good vids
