Using this technique for sometime, simple and effective. Every time I am short of ideas, i go for chords and then make melody with these ARP techniques.
I just thought of something that might help to remember which chords are minor or major when just looking at them. When you look at the note spaces, the space between the notes on a major chord is larger at the bottom than the space between the notes on a minor chord. So, to put it more simply, if the space between the bottom notes is major then it's a major chord and if the space between is minor it's .... well you get it lol Also, thank you for sharing these tips with us. Free content like this is super helpful stuff
Just a note for those who might be running into BlueARP issues like me connecting 3rd party VST to BlueARP. If you follow the same steps and notice it doesn't automatically move the notes, just open bluearp piano roll and check any note to see if the sound comes through if it does you're set. Cut/copy and paste the notes from your tool (mine was also Nexus 3) into BlueARP. And you should be able to proceed fine from there. I have vocals from a friend and trying to create a melody around it but I find it so difficult because the lyrics are more on the "sad" side. Can't quite figure out a sound not just a melody but the actual sound that would suit the vocals. blehhhh....BUT....this video helps point me in the right direction to get started.
I thought that this is actually kinda same than in game developing u can make a game as a total noob at making game without understanding anything about coding rly.. i tried that and learnt a little coding.. i mean, everything is almost ready and it works, but u still cant make the game/melody unique as u see/hear it in your head.. i quitted making games after few months, music is easier because i can hear what works and how i can make it as i want.. I do think that without that "musical talent" u can make sick bangers but maybe they might miss a story and emotions then.. idk...
Watch youtube videos on how to structure and make different types of melody, well, watch music theory, search for everything. Don't let youtube videos that say "don't do this, do this instead" control you. It all depends on how they want the song and also if it is necessary. Use your creativity and create quality music. good luck to everyone.
Hey Arcade..first, I always learn something from your videos, So thanks for that. Second, I'm trying to figure out how I can use sample pack loop instruments to write my own music, instead of using their loops, I just want to use their instruments. Hope that makes sense. Hope you could help. Peace
Hey arcade I have request to you Can you make tutorial for mixing and mastering like Martin Garrix, I have searched in internet but most of the tutorials only showing pop genre music mixing but I need EDMs and progressive house tutorials Martin Garrix makes his track loud like crazy but still it sounds great Hope you will accept my request And explain my question about loudness 🙏🙏
