Which theory video do you want to see next? and did you turn on your notifications? 😊

[andrewg]

This is like Sesame Street for music producers, unbelievable stuff Yalcin!

[AKAtAGG]

I'll continue saying it until everyone listens: hands down the best music production channel on this or any other platform. Doesn't matter if you make techno, house, hip hop, ambient, noise, dub, whatever your thing is - you WILL learn a LOT by watching this guy. Another fantastic, easy to understand lesson for newbies or seasoned pros. 22 minutes you will both enjoy and learn from. Love it.

edit: remember when writing melodies, the silence between notes is as important as the notes themselves. EDIT2: please tell me you're releasing the preset at 17:40 or giving a sound design tutorial for that one specific sound. please.

As a classic piano player for over 20 years and only now beginning to learn the ropes of how digital music production comes together, can I just say how much I'm enjoying your content? It's such a welcome refresher and you bring it across with such dedication and passion, making musical theory seem like complete novelty. :D Thank you, Alice! <3

[iagher]

I can tell you put a lot of effort in making these videos. Top notch quality in every aspect. Thanks.

[teogorqui]

"Don't worry about scale because THIS IS TECHNO" 😂😂😂😂 Amazing video I was able to learn so much more about melodies👏👏 best teacher💣

[juliana.]

its stupid how good these videos are .literally the best quality you can find on YT. some people should stop paying for expensive music schools and just buy tons of popcorn to watch all your videos 😄

[deneface]

alice, I love your videos, they are so easy to watch and the animations are soo smooth! never stop doing what you doing. even tho i dont consider myself in the same genre as you, i always find things to learn and handy tipps!
thank you!

[rosierose]

Absolutely love "We don't care about the scale because this is techno." 💖 Coming from a classical music background, this is so freeing and fun to hear.

[barron]

Hands down the best EDM Educational Channel on Youtube. Absolutely Brilliant.

[runkle]

Man, I enjoy reading the comment section dude😂 you deserve all this positivity 🙌

[iamdrommer]

I cannot describe the love I have for you enough. You are an absolute genius and consistently provide us all with some of the most informative music production videos. So much of my musical growth came from learning from you!

[anorderofimportance]

I've been with production for about 18, months. I've been catching up with your videos. I would say I've learned more in a few weeks, than probably, 6 months. I flirt with different genres and some of the tricks I've learned watching your channel I've used to play with different genres and sounds.

[StamikVibe]

Great channel everything is very high quality

[Stacity]

Thank you a very enjoyable video Yalcin

[volraevo]

Wow! Thanks! I have been enjoying your videos and your ambition to the music a lot. But this is the one that triggered an aha moment in my understanding of music theory. I can’t think of a better way to convey this in a such condensed and well-curated way. Much appreciated it! Cheers!

[myriaddsystems]

I have learnt so much from you Alice- and I have so much more to learn from you

[DJSunnyParker]

best channel on youtube hands down for music production imo

[leetatana]

I've only just found this channel and my music making has improved tenfold ! Easy to understand, fast and efficient within the DAW and so creative ! Kudos to you Yalcin !! Awesome !

[bugrabaran]

Yalçın your contents were always good, but now with this video editing and focusing on the main idea, I am either learning something or watching a creative music video. Thanks
