    Dude I've learned more from you than anyone else, and I think it's because you genuinely love music more than most other producers. Much love & respect.

    Love your videos! In the key of E, you are totally correct in calling those chords G#m and C#m. An example of where the G#m would be called an Abm would be if you were in the key of Gb.

    Thanks for the vid, as a guitarist trying to add music to more dance focused tracks this was really enlightening. Pretty easy to play arpeggios on the guitar, just have to find the best supporting melody/combo.... it's easy to add too much at once.

    Gem of a tutorial! It's a shame you don't dive deeper into the turn arounds, the video's on it out there are quite heavy on sheet music or quite hard to follow (read; very classical) for a simple DAW producer like me :D I don't have much experience playing a keyboard but you make it seem easy in the piano roll, thanks again!

  • @EchoSoundWorks

    Thanks! If you’re not a theory buff there’s no wrong way to do a turn around, as long as it’s in key and you like it. Here some types of turn arounds I’ve used that I thought were cool: 1.) adding in the third to the turn around if the chord so you don’t hear the minor major until the turn around and it’s very brief. 2.) take a snippet of the melody the vocalist is singing or maybe your lead synth from another part of the song to kinda prime the listeners ear.

    Hi. I just checked out your video for the first time and I was very impressed with your ideas in this video. You showed me a few things that I never thought about doing in making my own music. One question I have is this : how long or what is the duration for using these Arps in a song. You showed them as examples but, you didn’t show how you used these Arps in a completed song. As wonderful as they sound I was wondering about how much you should use these in a completed song. I didn’t want to use these as overkill in a song. Do you just primarily use these for introductions in the beginning of your songs or what? Can you use these Arps to build a climax in your music. I wish you have show us how you would use these Arps patterns more effectively in an entire song so I could get an idea of how to use them as they appear in a normal song or composition. If you could give me some feedback or give me some other videos to watch with suggestions or recommendations of videos that would show me more about how to use these Arp patterns in an entire song, I would appreciate it very much. I thank you for introducing me to some new ideas and I wish you continued success with all of your future videos and musical endeavors and I also wish you continued success financially as well. Have a wonderful day.

    I think you’d just want to make sure your arp doesn’t over stay it’s welcome. Some genres arps happen almost the whole song and others it’s used for verses or break downs. Just trust your ears and if you start to think the arp needs to be changed up to keep your listener engaged then do it 👍

    what are you using for the drums? I have a lot of trouble getting kicks to sound good in logic using the drum machine or even ultrabeat, but I hate using samples put directly into audio tracks. Also the snare you have slaps. Anyway, drums are my downfall in logic and your drums sound amazing. Would love to know what you do.

    Thanks Chase! It’s mainly sample selection. If I’m sequencing midi I usually use 3-5 quick samplers. One for the kick, snare, clap, and then maybe a drum machine designer for hats because choke is already enabled. That way everything is still midi but in individual tracks. I don’t usually edit the kick or snare outside of decay and pitch. Try putting phat fx on your snare or kick track and turn everting off except for the limiter section bottom right hand corner and select soft clip

  • @EchoSoundWorks

    @EchoSoundWorks

    5 ай бұрын

    The phrase originated in jazz music I believe. It’s been adopted into other genres. In jazz a turnaround is most often a 2-bar chord progression at the end of a verse, chorus, or bridge of a song that leads back to the beginning or opening chord. In other genres that use simpler chord progressions, it’s can be bar right before the chord progression or phrase repeats. That’s how I was using it in the video.
