@guam111 I don't want the dude to make shit for me ... I just want a more detailed to what, why, and how the chord progression works ... not just click til it sounds good
@checkoutthewindow3938 exactly lmaooo ... Harmony is what sets these beats apart, but no one explains how to compose it or the music theory behind it ...
@@MafiaPyro One of the chords he made, the B-F-A#-D# is a chord I personally don't see often. It's a Maj7b5. Kinda has a dominant sound to it and feels like it's the "tension" chord. He made it by, making a BMaj7, and then moving the 5th, (the F#) down a half-step and moving the D# up to give it a more open sound. But none of that is what really matters in the grand scheme. Your not gonna typically think, "oh I need a Maj7b5" when making music. But I agree, it was and still is annoying with how little you can learn from producers at a certain point. Half of them can't explain it anyway, because they don't know why it works. They just use their ears. At the end of the day it really is just "Use your ears". The theory will train your ears, internalize what you learn, help you navigate, breakdown other peoples music. Build good habits. But it's not a replacement for practice and an experienced ear. Look at this genre ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HDy4khFK6BI.html All of this is done mostly by ear. Just jamming around on a piano or piano roll until you get good is a must, with or without theory. Theory helps you identify what other people are doing, like I did here. But it's hard to make music creatively from scratch if you start with theory constantly in mind. My best stuff is made from improv on the piano, and from experimentation and grinding the piano roll. But my best breakthroughs getting there are through learning and experimenting. I've been making beats for 8 years and I'm at a level that I like for the most part, but I want to make more than just beats now. The inspiration moved for sure. Mike Dean was like, my idol. Now I'm inspired by people like Yoko Kanno, Kevin Penkins etc. Never stop learning. Never stop experimenting. But remember, at some point you gotta earn your skill and grind. It's rare that you get someone who has done enough of both. Also, if you got any questions then ask away.
