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.

❤️❤️ means a lot to hear that!
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.
Learned so much! I was always just following my feelings, but a more structured way of working with Arps works out perfectly to get some inspiration. The next step can be following your feelings again.
Sean, you're easily one of the best creators of music production tips out there. Another great video. Keep 'em coming!
I already love what this track is! Can’t wait to hear it.
Super helpful video for my next production, thank you so much Shane!
Dude, this was amazing. Especially the last example.
Love this vid, amazing detail and depth. Would be very helpful if you could please post the drum samples as well as the bass and pluck sounds!
Great stuff, thanks for that.
A great video, thanks man, from 2023 it still works👏👏
Good stuff! Thank you.
Your tutorials are sooo helpful! Would you ever to a full song from start to finish video?
Thank you so much. Good concepts.
Bro, you're good! This was really helpful
Thank you so much. Neat & structured explained, you could not have done better!

Great Lesson…💣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very cool video thank you 🙏
This was a really great tutorial and I learned something new, even though I thought I knew everything already.😊
Bro Sub straight away I usually pretty comfortable doing arpeggios as I use them a lot in my melodic techno productions but this has helped me understand more on what I’m doing.
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.
Thank you 😎
Dude I love you! I really like arps (arp-based melodies), but I'm still struggling, your video helped me a lot! Thank you a ton! ❤
Great lesson 😁
thx ... very helpful as a beginner... gate opener

Hell yeah, this was immensely helpful. I’ve been really into arps lately but prettt much been stuck using preset patterns. Now I can hit ‘em with some knowledge. Also, I’ve been using your Cthulhu vibes chord bank for a couple years, love them!

Hey Dex! Glad it helps. I’ve been into Arps a lot too lately, just something about them
Dope!
nice one!!
So good, I could hear the Lane 8 influences before you even mentioned him so I'd say you're pretty damn good as well.
Really nice work and clear explanation. Thanks ! How did you build that gated-pad/chord in the background, for instance at 10:40 ? Do you have a video about that ?
Nice one, Shane. I often struggle with arps, and this makes it much easier. So, are you back on Logic for good?

Thanks glad it helps! I go back and forth between logic and ableton. Probably 60/40. Logic is a little easier For the screen capture set up I have which is why it’s in tutorial vids more than ableton
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!

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.

You should offer a midi pack (for sale of course) of Arp patterns!!!
Is there a video explaining how you made the bass in this video? Thanks. Excellent tutorial, by the way.

Hi. I just checked your music out for the first time. I enjoyed this video. Will you please tell me where did you get this pluck sound from? And also where did you get your bass sound from too. I would appreciate it very much if you get back to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you. I wish you continued success with all of your music and I also wish you continued success financially as well.
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 👍

@@EchoSoundWorks thank you for such a speedy response. That was very thoughtful of you. I will continue to look for some more of your videos.
this preset come from which one of your packs?
Can you make a tutorial of that song you’re working on lol 😁😁
The pluck sound is so good, you could program any kind of arp with it. So, is it part of a pack?

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

What tempo are your arps at ? Says 124 but they sound much slower or maybe it’s just me 🙈

It’s 124. It’s the note value I was using. I didn’t want to use 16th note values because it would have made it a lil harder to talk over what was happening in real time.

Hello sir
what is a turnaround?
@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.
@1:48 let's make this as confusing as possible by confusing flat, sharp, and minor
The Hollow pattern contains an unclear part. At the end you make some changes, but actually the whole pattern completely changes and you don't mention this at all. Not a disaster of course but still rather confusing.
Arp = arpeggio

You can say sharp or flat haha that was really weird
