This was actually really helpful. Gives you a good conceptual understanding of intervals. Well played sir.

You can do whatever you like! Styles of music are typically defined by their chord progressions, so you might end up with something that sounds eastern (western music typically doesn't move from the V to IV) or alien. If it sounds good, use it! Some common Chord pro: I-iii-IV-V rock ; ii-V-I jazz ; I-VI7-II7-V7 ragtime

Two comments: 1) There is such a thing a B#, it's simply a C. 2) You should've played through the whole scale of intervals that you drew. A good lesson.

Great stuff! Nice, clear narration and friendly style. I will be checking out all your vids.

Just press the arrow at the top left of the piano roll window.. bring down menu there and you'll find a set of options labeled "helpers." The 3 or 4 items you see under that set are the helpers. They detect what scale you're working in and provide a guide on the piano roll grid to working in that scale.

Mr. AcePincter, I like your videos a lot, so much in fact that you're the reason I bought FL Studio. So, I'm not just trying to be a doucher when I say that this video is wrong. In music theory, an interval is the distance between any two notes, not the chord's number in a harmonized series. The major chord, for instance, has the intervals of a major third (in between the first and second note) and a minor third (in between the middle and last). I wish I could say more, but I'm out of spac

So am I. If you're using FL7, the shortcut is (while using the pencil or brush) to hold SHIFT and click where there is no note (if you click on the note, the function becomes a copy). When you hold down the mouse button on empty space while holding SHIFT, you'll see the cursor change to the slicer tool. Then, simply drag the cursor to the note.

Nice video I am learning new things every day.

Pretty much always in a major scale (with no accidentals) I, IV, and V are major triads, and ii, iii, vi are minor triads and Vii is mo (Diminished Minor).

Oh, well, I agree with that. I pick and choose from his vids for stuff that's technically or theoretically interesting (there has got to be a better way to word that sentence). However, I'm with you on the composition thing. A lot of it seems to be a bit geared for the musically uninspired, but if you take a look at which musicians make the most money, you'll see that that makes up a very large percentage of the population.

it depends what scale you are in. i have come across a situation where C is shown as B#, this is because in that particular scale, another note has taken the slot C has. therefore, to show a C, you have to give it as B#

slice tool you use by holding shift and clicking on empty space. Then drag!

A unit of musical distance between notes of a scale.

Thank you very much! This is great. :)

Can you explain what you would have liked to see/hear with regards to #2?

@Thoorvault Yes Ace Pincter has done a good job lightening my bulb.

nice one Ace. You rock my toob sox.... ok no, thatwas going to far on my part. ANYWAYS, good work on the tut, taught me a bit about the randomness of music.

thanks for posting

thanks mate... intersting!

very helpful!!

you need to make a video on how to make Guitar Licks!

thx you very much

This feature of FL Studio looks great, with the helpers! Is there anything similar on Reason or Logic? I am on a mac.

Tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone-tone-semitone (major scale) How many times have i heard this?

As usual, greqat tut ace :) what i'd like to ask is can i change the interval? say instead of I IV I V I i'd input I V IV I I?

Get em together Ace; u whats up!!!

nice!!

u may not now but u could change those numbers in to chords. Like A# or such by pressing somthing in the piano pannel. i cant remember how thoes il get back 2 us to tell u.

@AcePincter donde estas?, no subiste mas vídeos :(

excuse me man, may you tell me how to make it appears scale or nota with only a click, and I've heard about to do an arpegiator with only a click

1:48 my jaw dropped.... and to think that i'm still working with that fucking Ableton Live.. :facepalm:

How do you turn on the helper?

i love fruitloops.

arent those called arpegios or something

Your voice sounds a lot like Brad Pitt. :)

Accident!

(bow)

Lmao twinkle twinkle :P

That's not a very wise statement. Everything about FL helps one learn about music, from simple to advanced music theory. The problem comes with the difference between live and automated playing. I am MUCH more concise and sophisticated on FL. However, I can human-like subtlety into something as simple as a single melody far quicker on piano, there's the hands-on experience and the ability to change melodies easier. My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap, so to speak.

Wow....you two ↕ really need to stop watching Brad Pitt so much....people will start to question you.
