I’ve been watching, learning and studying sound design and music from Internet money and rio,Paryo and nick for a few months. Thank you guys for your knowledge and time

Thank you rio watching this a year later this has really helped me!

This is the best tutorial on music theory I have ever come acrosss,thank you so much you are a great teacher man 😀

would most definitely appreciate a part 2 brother! always a pleasure to get insight into other producers workflows & techniques. i would like to share 3 little tips for melodies that i've been using lately. (tip #1) doubling the bass or root, into an upper voice, then altering its rhythm, dynamic, adding passing notes, etc. this works because whatever the bass note or root of the chord is, they are the most stable notes in the scale. (tip #2) orchestration; create a chord or progression, then split the different parts into different instruments & across different octave/pitch ranges. this will allow the same chord to be heard, but across different instruments & you can solo/mute different ones whenever you need (tip #3) using the same melody motif or pattern, over different chord changes. this works by creating contrast, as the notes of the melody will function one way over the first chord & function differently over another chord. this creates various amounts of tension & color, while providing familiarity. God Bless! - Loh Pro

the background track goes with what you were making,. absolute fire brother

I have been getting back into this for the past two weeks and im starting to understand what you guys mean by if you understand a little bit of music theory thats all you need, and it really is, but if you want my advice from learning so far videos like this and music theory videos in general have made it WAY easier to watch and absorb the information from all of the other producer videos and follow along

Spot on! The only thing I would say is that the D resolves to G, as a V-I motion so it kinda workds regardless the distance, but it doesn't matter. lol

Ah, yes, I must say that I find Rio's pedagogical acumen to be quite impressive. His prowess as a producer is matched only by his ability to impart knowledge and wisdom upon his pupils. One might say that he is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the music production world - a sage mentor guiding his proteges to greatness. It is truly a delight to witness such an esteemed figure in action. Kudos to you, Rio, for being both a masterful producer and a brilliant educator. 🤓🤓🤓 💯💯💯 #danjelxgaldur2023
