I’ve been producing for over 20 years and it’s almost shameful that I just started music c theory learning 🤦🏾‍♂️. Been making Melodie’s off ear alone and struggling with chords till now! Thanks to guys like you Max and the rest of the community!

FANTASTIC. Absolutely blew me away. Please do more music theory like playing piano by ear and improvising. Or music hacks and secrets.

I love the short but solid methods that
you can use to build adding your imagination.... and the great dance at the end.

This video helped me realize how my workflow was limiting my creativity. I don't know any music theory so I defaulted to an overly simplistic workflow that produced lackluster results. I often found that I would use effects to try and cover-up that my chords were boring because I didn't know better and it was less stressful that way. Now that I have a bit more experience, I'm less afraid to do something "wrong" and I think I can put your suggestions to good use.

Very very cool.
For all my orchestral composition I always get the melody first in any of my sketches. Nice to know that we can do the same even for electronic music!
