Amazing how much more “alive” riff b felt in that first example. Good chord selection helps create interesting melodies all on its own, which can really help to escalate the main melodic line

@SugarpillProd

@@Mafon2 Everyone's going to have a different tastes. There's no right or wrong. I personally find Riff A quite boring, but at the same time, I usually just prefer anything with a little dissonance over something that's a bit more major key sounding It's just personal preference at the end of the day.

I was gonna say, sometimes I come up with a riff but start second guessing myself after recording. Once thrown into a mix though it sounds quite nice! I guess the lesson is to not second guess yourself and just follow through with your ideas.

@mrextremophile
@mrextremophile 3 месяца назад
Great, thanks. On the riff, I get progressions using chords in a key, but do you then write a riff using a certain scale in that key?Like major or minor pentatonic? Or just more by ear?
@SugarpillProd
@SugarpillProd 3 месяца назад
You can do, there's really no rules. I'd say that isn't something I do - at least not on a conscious level, unless I'm really struggling to come up with anything that sounds good over a progression. I think the downside of *only* relying on scales is that you can quite easily box yourself in, and you may end up being scared to venture outside of these set patterns the more you do this. That's why I predominately write by ear, because if it sounds good, then I'll go with it, even if it's not "technically" correct.

@the_wolffe1427
@the_wolffe1427 3 месяца назад
How much music theory do you know/apply to your writing? Do you specifically play in a set key and use a determined scale for coming up with the melody, or is it just a mix of noodling and/or playing by ear until you find something nice?
@SugarpillProd
@SugarpillProd 3 месяца назад
Very little. I'd say I almost always go by ear whenever I write something. The only time I'm ever really using theory is if I'm working out some different chord voicing for another guitar part - I often like to play different voiceings in the left and right rhythm guitars, so for that I'll use some basic theory just to come up with the additional part, or again, just use my ear for this too. Hope that helps!

It comes stock with Reason - not sure if you're able to buy / download it by itself, though Reason does also double up as a plugin, along with being a standalone DAW.

@adriatic.vineyards Месяц назад
what's the word for the drum technique you used as the intro for your song (3:42)??
@SugarpillProd
@SugarpillProd Месяц назад
It's basically just a snare roll with the kicks playing on each quarter note. Not sure if there's a specific name for that or not though, I usually just refer to them as "build-ups".
@adriatic.vineyards
@adriatic.vineyards Месяц назад
@@SugarpillProd thanks! are the snare hits played on every 1/16th note?
@SugarpillProd
@SugarpillProd Месяц назад
Sure thing! Yeah they're all 16th notes, and it helps if you accent certain parts when programming that sound - so in this case I was accenting all the quarter notes on the snare as well.
