The energy in your voice is higher than any track ive ever produced 😂

[RoppongiTV]

This track is a banger, it deserves to be finished and released! Thanks for the knowledge too!

[jdubbz_uk]

Brilliant tutorial @Bthelick I think i'm gonna have to watch this back a few dozen more times til it sinks in properly😂😂

[BenCaesar]

Wow what a great find this channel is! Just a question when you say extend down does that also mean like an inversion ?

[deanchester]

That was really educational. Could you carry on and explain how this then fits with the arps and the rest of the track.

[jonzfilms]

Thank you. I would love you do another video on this. However, speaking in terms of actual notes. Within the relationship to bass. Possibly explore triads as a video itself. Thank you sir.

This is yet another amazing video and exactly what i needed today:) been struggling with this stuff recently and Im having to relearn everything after having an accident thats caused a brain injury and these videos are even perfectly explained for someone like myself haha! so thank you ! how do we get to join in with your track feedback and community ? :)

[MPXVM]

Can you make a video please on how do You record voices or explain the flow on working together with Tasia Sky on tracks? :D

[Rifson.wav]

Top notch video as always! Wich ai midi program did you use?

[Tyvm-mopj]

Hey Bthelick great video once again! I’m wondering if you know if it’s possible to do the trick you used to make the F sharp minor appear like an A minor in Logic Pro?

[bassyjay]

excellent mate! i did wanna ask tho Bthelick when you transpose the instrument afterwards using the pitch shift, will that always be accurate? with all notes? sorry if i sound dumb, im a noob 😂

[Fjordmondeo]

The best to do it as always!! Thanks so much. I was trying to find the best suited video of yours to ask this questions and this perhaps may be the closest but the opposite way around (vocals for a chord progression / mode)

I was deconstructing a midi trance lead to work out the chords and found it to be in F Lydian (progression was I, vii, iii, II). How would I approach finding a vocal sample to suit a progression in this mode as Lydian isn't typical on say Splice for example. As F Lydian is a mode of the C Major Scale, would the closest vocal sample be best suited in C Major? I was confused because the tonal centre would be F, and if I chose C major the vocal sample would be C. Or am I looking at this all the wrong way!? Modes are confusing me! I like this progression in my track but want to make sure i'm using the best suited vocal sample.

Thank you!!

Hey Bthelick! I did not really understand how you choose the main notes of the vocal. How to you know which one to choose for building the chords? Also How is there a chord progression I should choose over the other? I know that there are certian progression that have different moods. Thanks!

[vanderloo]

Should vocals always be mono? Meaning, should they only be recorded in mono?

Also, in your opinion do you have a favourite vocoder? I have Vocalisynth 2. It’s horrible.

[karllagerfeld]

Hey this might be a dumb question but as you mentioned in another video basically every chord (could) contains all of the scale‘s notes, why does the chord choice even matter? Wouldn’t it fit to choose any chord of the scale/key? Or has this something to do with the fact that the note we want to pronounce is part of the „main triad“ of a certain chord of the key/scale?

And why is the 2nd chord a bad option for minor?

Anyway thank you so much!

[Jackson-qqvl]

What AI do you used to find the notes of vocals?

[mrmick]

Do you know any good way to write a melody line for a woman vocal? I have a problem with this and i can always change key later, but usually idea/song becomes worse. I always think through the prism of my voice and I don't know how to change it.

[ironfistentertainmentptylt]

When you say 'reverse extensions, ' do you mean inversions?

[yoryoryoryor]

Why do you move the notes to A and then move them back down again with the midi control. Couldn't you just scale lock and then delete the out-of-scale notes? (I assume that's what you're trying to do?)
