Music Theory & Chords TUTORiAL

for Beatmakers and Producers
This course stresses on the importance of being a beatmaker behind music theory knowledge When you’re a beatmaker, all you want to do is create amazing beats. But in your early years the main thing holding you back is your comprehension of chords, scales, and basic music theory fundamentals. In over my 10 years, I have not only discovered how chords and scales work, but I’ve found a really easy way to explain it, too. Put it this way, on your piano, you have 12 notes available to you, which repeat on each octave, right? Well, just because you have your 12 notes available, doesn’t mean you’re actually allowed to play all of those notes. This is where the key and scale come into play. My promise to you with this course is after watching it, you will gain such a concrete basis for understanding the notes available for you to play, how to count beats, and comprehend the major and minor chords to be creative with.

Why Do We Producers Use Audio Compresion

FANTASTiC | 19 Oct 2018 | 2.63 GB

I guarantee you, compression will be the last audio plugin you learn in-depth. However, it’s the audio plugin which will exponentially improve your sound and creativity. It first requires an understanding of how audio compression and dynamics work, and secondly, requires a trained ear to hear the benefits and negative artifacts you are applying to your audio signal. In addition, there are many myths (white lies) on YouTube in regards to compression when it comes to the threshold, ratio, and your output value. In this course, you will come out with a solid understanding of how to actually use a compressor creatively AS A PRODUCER!
