    Man your reaction to your own chords at 2:57 was so honest and sincere that that by itself made me hit the subscribe button. I totally vibed with that instantanious kind of "look what I found in my creation" like you have something pre-existing inside yourself that only needs to be looked up, or found. Cool moment 🥰 Cherish these moments.

    Right after this video I twicked my current project with a new bassline synth. This is exactly the sound I've been loking for, thanks! The previous bass preset used the envelope mostly on the on the osc volume, but with the filter it works much better, leaving the base note sounding constantly in sub-bass range

    After spending a lot of time and money in courses, I think that this is something very difficult to explain. Or I am a bad student :) Anyway, I think that Rome tends to omit the why, and just shows the how. Maybe he just doesn't know, and he learnt by practice and intuition like, I suspect, most do. I think that Rome sometimes knows the why but he doesn't explain it, maybe because the videos would be too complex, boring and long, or just because he wants to save those tips for his paid students. But beware. As I said, I've paid some courses, and most of that money has been wasted. Now I don't pay anymore until I see proof that I will learn something useful.

    He tends to use minor scales a lot, plus it's something you can learn from his other tutorials on chord construction, after watching many of his videos I can say that I now make better chords with similar vibes to the ones he creates.

    Haha thanks! That’s a huge compliment. It’s a bit of everything you mentioned. There is some bit of trial and error you don’t see in preparation for each video. For example, sometimes I’ll write 5 to 10 melodies in search for a good melody to use in a video and it takes me multiple days to find one. Sometimes (like in the video above) I’ll write a single melody and get lucky. I should definitely make a video on this. It would be a fun video that I think would be creatively inspiring.

    Ducking is also called sidechaining. When you sidechain an instrument track to another track (usually the bass drum), the instrument will get quieter whenever the drum hits.
