I make a lot of dark melodies. Here is my tip. Pick a note. Go up a few notes and play 2 notes that are right next to each other. The semi tone switches creates a dark vibe.

Damn, the first tutorial for a long time where it's not like "Yeah this is a beginners tutorial so I'll create this basic melody real quick" *opens omnisphere*

I BREEZED THROUGH THIS BECAUSE I ALREADY KNEW IT

Lmaooo! "We dont want that soft shit around here" - The Goat

The only trap producer who is very positive full support!!

bruh how are you the only one that can explain it so it sounds so easy

tip for finding chords: - select a scale (melodic minor, aeolian) - put the scale in a sampler for about 3-4 octaves - the ghost notes can help you stay in scale and find the sound you are looking for tip for edison: - put your pattern with your melodies on the playlist. - select record on play in edison - let it record the loop 2 times and take the second loop because there usually is some delay in the beginning of the first loop - you will have markers that tell you when the song "jumps" so you can easily see where the loop begins and ends

when making melodies if you select all then press alt+r you can assign the notes random velocities to give it a more realistic sound if you plan on going for that approach

Holy shitttt as soon as those 808s came😱🔥🔥

the song u played while talking kept making me think i got a snapchat notification

@chu I don’t say this lightly, I’ve watched hundreds of hours worth of beat tutorials, but I have to say, this is the BEST tutorial I’ve watched on KZfaq! 💯 the way you explained everything made the concept easy to understand and I respect and appreciate that man. Keep up the great work💪🏾🔥🔥 #subbed

of all the melody tutorials i’ve watched... this one actually helped me! thank you!

Genuinely the most helpful melody tutorial I’ve ever seen I’m only at 2:47 and I’ve already learned more here than all the internet money tutorials. You aren’t just making a beat and having us watch. Your ACTUALLY teaching tricks to use. You just earned yourself a new sub

Those 808's really roar! Another fire beat by chu!

This new internet community of producers are the most supportive group of people I’ve ever met online, I love this community.

Every single one of your tutorials has been very helpful to me. You deserve more recognition in my opinion

When i start the video : « Yeah another basic melody video » At the end : « Wooow bro that’s so fire ! » Big support from france 🙏🏽

Why aren't you famous yet you really deserve more subs. You helped me a lot getting knowledge in producing, keep up the good work!

It's 2024 and I keep coming back to this video whenever I'm feeling beat blocked and it helps EVERY SINGLE TIME. Chu will forever be 🐐ed in my book.

I have to admit, this is by far the best video regarding Trap music while also incorporating theory on one of the easiest levels possible.

"we don't want that soft shit around here". u a legend mate

If you guys want to throw some sauce on the melodies use something like a vinyl crackling before record it to a sample,after throw some detune effect, izotope vinyl and unstable are free and good choices,dont forget to make a lot of experiences using this technique and create your own sauce, have good time producing !.

Simplicity is key, well explained my man. Thunderschock⚡⚡

5:22 you can also self sample by right clicking your pattern and and selecting render as audio clip

As a starting producer and a near expert piano player I began producing beats waaay to complicated for vocals. While the track sounded amazing I needed to tone down my melodies. This video aided me not in the notes and musical terms but it simplifying my tracks and starting to gain many more fans because of it Keep it the amazing work Much love.

Tip for rendering you melodies: you can also go to patter on the top left side and select quick render as an audio clip so you can skip the Edison step

Wow I literally just stumbled on to this channel from my feed. I've been making beats for years and still have trouble with certain things when making beats but everyday I try to keep learning something new. I have to say I learned alot you got a new subscribe bro! Keep the tuts coming!

Thunder shock. This has made me wanna sample myself more now 💫💭. Fire 🖤

I needed a video like this. I know music theory and how to play multiple instruments but I don't know how to work the software. This helped a lot. Thank you man. I subscribed to your channel.

I’m so happy i found your channel! You made this so simple to follow and understand. This is the first video I’ve come across that hasn’t confused me lol I’m a complete beginner with intermediate musical knowledge and i think other youtubers sometimes forget to reach a beginner level type of audience so thank you for being thorough!

HES DONE IT BOISSSSSS HE HAS DONE IT

Chutorials on point! Keep the dank content coming, haha.

**Nintendo wants to know your location**

Challenge for you: try to make a melody only using PIKACHU

Been producing for a while and this is just something to put under my belt for other producers in my studio that are struggling to find their niche 💯💯🔥🔥 appreciate this man 🧨🧨🧨

this is what we've been waiting for after 808's

when you sample yourself do "record on play" rather than on input and it marks when the pattern loops (also make sure your on pattern mode)

This is dope and informative. I like the way you explain complicated stuff in a simple manner. Big ups bro, keep these tutorials coming! #Dopecontentonly

I find beauty in contrasting melodies. I love makin 2 or 3 melodies at least, and having them all in the same vibe with open spaces in each melody, so that the melodies when together all fill in their spaces with contrasting notes. I dont know if im alone with that or if anyone thinks like that too, but great video G. I hope everyone walks away with knowledge and understandings that once werent accquired. Stay blessed killa💪🙏

Bro....my phone isn't made to be this bass heavy! LMBO. Dope tutorial

Really helpful for someone starting out, like me

so glad I stayed up for this yessss

Yes boi Chu back again with the tutorials #Thundershock⚡️⚡️

at 7:10 save as in edison in a folder where you can easily access your homemade loops for later use. name them with a cool name, their bpm, amount of bars and the key they're in for organization. save yourself the trouble and do it then, especially if you collab often. also, you can spend an entire session making like 50 hot loops this way and then send them out for collabs later. drums can be an entirely new session on a different day as well, so it will be like collabing with yourself.

You are a freaking beast bro I went through multiple tutorials on yt but no one explained in a proper manner thanks a lot I need more of these please lots of love ❤️

keep these tutorials coming man , you're too helpful , the kick and 808 tutorial helped me alot a beat structuring tutorial explaining how to add minor changes to make the beat sound more interesting ?

You had me crack up a couple of times throughout this! Great content. I'll be back for more Keep it rolling

Better than Busy Works Beats

great tutorial.i always check your channel when im having writers block for some quick inspiration. I just wanted to add this, when setting up your melody and chords, you can enable the scale helpers to highlight which ever scale you want to work in and then after you pick your bass notes, just skip a scale note in between and it makes an easy minor chord

My first time seeing your tutorials, dope stuff Chu, I'm subscribed now keep em coming!

Duuuude im already in makin music but this video will get me waaaay further into the stuff im on to🔥this is fire🤘 Thanks for that bruv

Shit this the best melody tutorial on the mfn tube hands down bra straight up

that 808 is GROSS!!! edit: THUNDERSHOCK

this was the MOST useful beginner tutorial video about trap music i have ever seen. thanks a lot!

Ive been making music for over 20yrs, but Im a total noob when it comes to FL Studio. Just trying to get my head around its workflow, thanks for the tips.

man u teach so well! So easy to understand what ur doing. Congrats. +1 sub

Thank you for this tutorial 🔥😅it was pretty helpful

Dope tutorial, Chu 🔥🔥

Dope Tutorial. I been making beats for 15+ years and still dig for new ideas and methods with tutorials. 🔨🔊💎

The best channel i ever found on youtube . Most of the KZfaqrs just make a beat and upload it showing us the making and doesn’t tell anything .. i learn aa looottt from this channel ❤️

yo thanks so much for this tutorial really helpful and I definitely subbed

I thought I was getting loads of notifications on my phone but it was just the beat in the background 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

If you were awake when I uploaded this, you're a REAL one

Somehow I haven't seen this video before but you fr are a TEACHER! 99% of youtubers just fill you with the same basic crap. I do know most of this but I still watch cause you have a lot to teach and I learn more with each of your videos. Amazing work and content all the way through!

Dope Chu! Just discovered your channel. I'm a rapper from Holland and started producing my own beats about 9 months ago. I'm pretty average now. I always like to see beginner tutorials. Why? I always learn something new. Happy to be a part of your channel.

Byzantium Double Harmonic Major is the darkest scale btw :)

First of all, I think this was a great melody tutorial, one of the best i've seen so far, keep it going :D And also I have a question to your drumkits. I recently downloaded the BLACKEST NIGHT kit but I can't change the pitch of any of the samples, for example I can't really use the 808's because they are always in the same pitch. Do you know how I can fix this? That would be great :D

Dope channel!! I joined the fam. 🔥🔥🔥🔥fantastic tutorial too!

Thanks alot bro , I learned so much 💪💪💛🙏

the background beat is actually one of the most fire beats I've heard like OMFG! Also I just Subbed

dude you helped me lot. thx for the vid :)

And youtube recommends this to me after 1 year

You can change the title to Travis Scott in 20 min

this is the video that taught me how to make the type of melodies i like. My FIRST beat ever. ill forever be grateful thank you so much for fueling my passions. I hope you reach all your goals BigG

Dem 808s CRANKIN' ! SHEESH! Def watchin' more tutorials !

Who else thought they kept getting snaps 😂😂

Dorschgang 🔥

6:56 Or you could simply export the single pattern as an MP3 and spare yourself the time trying to adjust stuff on a spectogram.

I just started watching your ideas but I couldn’t be more greatful for the gems you be dropping

this was an extremly helpful video. i started a dark beat but didnt really know what to do and after watching a couple of videos i was as smart as before but now i now what to do. you really explain every step and for beginners its perfect

Yo I'm completely new to FL Studio and music all together. Only started yesterday. At 11:55 how does the beat change from one beat to the cloned one thats an octave higher if its all in one pattern?

How did you pitch up an octave on fruity slicer? If i ctrl + Up it takes it off the slice range

This guy's producer tag line better be produced-bychu in Pikachu's voice

I appreciate the help man. This tutorial is actually helping me improving my dark melodic music

That first part about starting the melody was amazing for me a total beginner who was struggling with melodies. I tried that trick and made the best dark piano melody I have done yet . Ty big like here

Take a minor chord and transpose the triad down one half step, that’s what makes that dark and somewhat sad sounding Travis Scott sound.

I need help. I did pretty much everything that you did and the sample is loud and I can barely hear my 808's or anything. any advice?

heres some positive knowledge: WHEN YOU PRNOUNCE S'S IN THIS VIDEO IT HURTS MY EARS maybe wanna cut some highs or something in the vocal recording

If you're recording in edison the best thing to do is to loop in the playlist or pattern and then select "on play" rather than on input before you hit record, that way it won't record until you've begun to play the pattern and removing excess parts is much more easy and accurate

OMG!!! I FINALLY found someone who explains things intuitively, thinks about the people watching the videos and doesnt skip over a bunch of shit assuming everyone knows those parts... awesome! I think you're my favorite "tutorializerer"... sub/likes all day errrry bideo!!!

Does someone understand how chu makes beats that are harder than a rock I don’t

Put centerfold on spotify so i can listen to it

Thundershock

just came back to check it out cuz the beat is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dude!!! Chudaman!!!!! Been looking for an all around tutorial where the person wasn’t corny, weird voice, long winded and more! You are perfect more me so I tapped subscribe!!! Thank you!!!

14:17 some secret sauce

I’ve got a cool melody: Du de duuu de ba du du du de buuuu de bah buh bah Du de duuu de ba du du du de buuuu de bah buh bah Du de duuu de ba du du du de buuuu de bah buh bah Du de duuu de ba du du du de buuuu de bah buh bah, sounds sick DOESENT it?!

its funny how we catagorize beats when were trying to describe what we hear on the radio but we really just want metro boomin beats

Awesome description of everything and it’s uses ❤️

Thank you for keeping beginners in mind. You're the man.
