idk how to make bassline i would like to get feedback on that

uncut yacht
#

if only we shared genres blus

#

i could be such an inspiration for you

steady drift
#

what

uncut yacht
#

i dont kno w how to write electronic music dude

steady drift
#

😭

uncut yacht
#

at all

#

barely know how to use a synthesizer 😂

steady drift
uncut yacht
#

my ass can NOT read piano roll

steady drift
#

💀

#

can D# fit in the Emaj chord

uncut yacht
#

yes it can but

#

can you send the audio

#

i happen to have a great ear for this type of question

steady drift
#

ok i will send without the fast arp so it's easier to hear

#

like flick idk

#

the second loop

#

my brain say it fits because if i put a D# in the chord it becomes 7th

#

so if the melody is just octave higher it should fits also

uncut yacht
#

yes it fits naturally

#

also

steady drift
#

yay

uncut yacht
#

Emaj7 is a diatonic chord in C#minor so using D# is nothing out the ordinary

steady drift
#

idk... what diatonic is 😭 i should go learn more music theory

uncut yacht
#

you should definitely learn how form basic triads of the major and minor scales yes

#

and also triad inversions

#

and also 7th and 9th chord extensions which arent that uncommon in edm

steady drift
#

wait i typed in this thing Emaj7 and it showed the chord with D# in it lets go skip the music theory 😃 👍

#

jk i will still learn

uncut yacht
#

#lol

steady drift
uncut yacht
#

without knowing sheet music

#

thats not like a joke comment like i really have no clue if the explanation make sense for a beginner

steady drift
#

i only understand the first 2 dots in the key takeaways lol

#

my god why do they use horn instead of piano

uncut yacht
#

how weird

steady drift
#

@uncut yacht if you dont make electronic music what do you do

#

like play in a band?

uncut yacht
#

wouldnt that be nice

#

no i am just a wannabe multi genre composer

#

but everything i write sounds like its from an indie video game

steady drift
#

:O

#

wait it's actually Emaj not Emaj7

uncut yacht
#

its definitely emaj7

#

that is actually what the little triangle represents

steady drift
#

but when i type in they are 1 note different

image.png
uncut yacht
#

theres only a one note difference in those two chords

#

yes

steady drift
#

but they still work the same?

uncut yacht
#

no they are two different chords with different notes

steady drift
#

🤔

uncut yacht
#

adding 7ths to a chord changes its sound a lot

#

well maybe it doesnt if you arent that familiar with how 7ths sound

steady drift
#

but does the Emaj chord (E, G#4, B) fit with a D#

#

im very slow at understanding stuff :/

#

let me watch a music theory video

uncut yacht
#

adding notes to a chord makes it a different chord

#

but yes

uncut yacht
#

sorry that explanation makes no sense lol

steady drift
#

now i understand it

uncut yacht
#

heres a better way to put it maybe

#

melodic lines are often part of a chords structure

#

like uh

#

melodic lines also contribute to a songs harmony

#

i mean melodic lines are made out of notes at the end of that day

#

and so are chords

#

chords are literally just notes stacked vertically

#

i mean its all notes at the end

steady drift
#

got it

uncut yacht
#

actually.. you dont even need chords to write a harmonic progression

#

melody can do that on its own

#

but thats a more advanced topic so i wont ramble about that

steady drift
#

@uncut yacht so i made the problematic chord have both G# and D# so the melody can go they both are good now but are the chords now still good (the melody loops twice with G# and D# at the chord thing)

image.png
uncut yacht
#

which chord is problematic

steady drift
#

the E triangle thing

#

now it has both G# and D# which my melody has when looped

uncut yacht
#

Emaj7 typically has G# in it yes

steady drift
#

um any other feedbacks also this is the new one

uncut yacht
#

melody writing is getting better

#

usage of more sustained notes is good

#

uhm..

#

im proud of you by the way @steady drift

steady drift
#

yay

frank dock
#

put piano on short plate reverb

#

and the strings, make em more stereo, in a wide room close up with little decay and lower its volume a bit

steady drift
