I am here for 20% improvement on my music production

What I like about Alex Rome is he doesn't try and withhold all the information till the end, it's an easy pace all the way through with no gatekeeping. Authentically amazing!

As someone that takes notes when watching this type of video format, I greatly appreciate that you made a list for all the topics

The fact this dude just used Fmin as his first chord and made it the most upbeat shit is amazing

Literally just wedsday. I showed some people to see what they think, other producers more experienced than I. This is what they told me: You've got good progression. You know when your song needs to change and you do so. The sound design is great and so is the mix. The only problem is you have no emotion. This is what I've been needing to add to get more emotion. More expression. This is exactly what I needed thank you!

If you do want to use FL keys (plugin does exist for a reason). You can use convolutional reverb and use ANY sample and replace the default clicking sound. This will mutate or morph the FL keys sound with the sample you used in the convolutional reverb. Can create some interesting effects sometimes.

Man, you have so many chord tutorials on the channel, you must be a chord god. In all seriousness thank you, this is very nice of you to share your wisdom with us

Alex rome,you are a great person in everything,I love the way you express your safe musically,and every tutorial video that you post here is dope,am impressed and encouraged to start music production at 48. You are the best across the KZfaq village.

eventhough i do mostly orchestral compositions, your techniques go across the board thanks a ton for these videos

Reverb 2 is where it's at. I work in FL Studio mobile, and R2 goes into everything I write. I write a kind of experimental dream music style, it works absolutely perfect for it, especially when I add some modulation to it.

I think the best thing about your videos is that you show the best part about music production: the amazing feeling you get when you create something magical. Thank you for this!

F Phrygian chord progression. Simply stunning!

This has really helped me fight my way out of writer's block as it enables me to flow with my chords better, thank you

Just started to get into making music. Music is basically my addiction in life and your channel has helped me so much. Just wanted to say thanks

This video is so incredibly helpful! Inspired to give this a try and make something out of it. Your explanation is extremely clear and easy to follow. Thank you for the tips👊🏼

wow that was amazing watching step by step to create a beautiful chords, thanks!

"If you don't think that sound is prettier than FL Keys, ..music production probably isn't for you." I have officially wasted $300. Thank you, Alex Rome.

To add a seventh: what I call orchestration (inspired by what composers do with orchestras). Often, all your synths are playing all the notes of the chords. Rather, have multiple patches playing different lines from the chord. Have one synth playing just the top line, one just the middle line, one just the bottom line, a few more playing melodic lines by choosing notes from the chords differently (e.g. if your progression is C-Dm-Em-C, then one synth plays a high C-D-E-C, another plays e.g. C-D-E-G, another plays G-F-G-E, and so on, so you get interesting timbral changes as the choice of which synth plays which chord tone varies). This gets great results of you're playing with orchestral samples, but needn't be restricted to that. You can also include hints of 7ths by having some of the synths play e.g. C-F-E-B or something. Other synths still, can add passing tones (e.g. instead of C-D-E-G, you could add an F between the E and G). Basically get out of the box of playing the same chords on all of the synths. Imagine you are writing for an 'orchestra' of monosynths. And look at classical symphonies and concertos to see the kind of compositional tricks classical composers use when making use of a collection of instruments each capable of playing a different musical line, and often capable of only playing a single line at once.

you have so much opened my mind about that the base is the cords themselves!

Love your videos man - you and a few others inspired me to start uploading my own music and getting back into things recently since a long hiatus from my Audio school days. Your content super informative - keep it up bro!

Love the energy, man! Thanks :)

I think one thing to add to the checklist would be pickups to the new chords. Just a simple quarter note of the keys root usually works before the next chord

Those chords sound amazing! Great job explaining too

I am so happy because I can watch your tutorials with so much positive. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤

just 3 words. Love You Man !

Your whole channel has reinvigorated my creative spark. Thank you so much for these videos.

This changed my whole perspective on melody creation and I appreciate your videos man!

The way he says “that sounds good!” You can tell he wasn’t prepared to make a banger on camera making a tutorial. That was actually pretty fire!! Usually on tutorials they just make crap but this guy damn

Such an inspiration to create music! Thank you.

This is some quality advice here! Great breakdown and layout of the concepts. Keep em coming 🙏

This video is gold! Another one for my favorites list! Very interesting workflow with the chords, I'll try to put these tips into practice! 😃👍

Your channel is one of the reasons I still love KZfaq. Thank you

I started using ableton 1 year ago. you inspire me so much. Thanks alot

That`s just so heavenly beautiful!

It gets even more fun when you start automating parameters to bring the chords to life!

This video has really positive energy. I love a list and I have been infected by your enthusiasm!

this channel improves motivation I have with music production, because the perfectionist in me prevents me from even trying.

The biggest jump i've got since starting to learn music production, very helpful❤

Thank you for this 🫶🏻

THIS is helpful, unlike most of the musicians on here, that make everything so unnecessarily complex. big thank you 🙏🏽

I love how he used the same chords in different ways to add layers and textures. That's how I work many times 🎯😁

Love the song!

Fantastic sound

I was starting to think I’m acoustic but thanks to Alex I have gained many confidence 🙏

Genius on titling that synth sus pads, really changed my view on cats and dogs.

Inverions are a must, nice job Alex

Absolutely informative!!

Genial.. cambiaste por completo mi manera de pensar al componer

this was soo damn good, it really helped me!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!❤

Really enjoyed this post good inspiration.

you are great man

The King !!!!!! Yes man💪 thx.

here's the short version of this video. 1. Make the melody 2. Add 3-5 of the same chords with different octaves and with 1-3 other variants that harmonize with the melody. 3. Add a beat bass It's that easy. The great thing about it is that the artists revolutionized this method for easier song structures for everyone to enjoy. But now everyone is doing it so it's not as impressive anymore, and it's unnecessary filler when there are more creative ways to make your song sound awesome. Btw. all you're doing with that melody at 3:25 is adding the 2 7th chords of B'major 7 on the 2nd cord and the 4th chord is a F'Minor 7. The first and second chords are a minor 7th too. Why it plays into that factor of harmony is that it unresolved itself by alternating between major and minor 7ths from the chord progressions. Not "Adding voices". A little music theory lesson.

Guter Mann! Danke!

Hi Alex. I loved how you started this song off. I probable have listened to it now about 40 times. I have heard this enough that I am going to try this technic in my own style very soon. This video made me watch many of your other videos several times. I’ve saved 31 of your other video to try to duplicate some of your other ideas as well. The problem I see for my future is that you have given me plenty of ideas to give me very beautiful beginnings of songs but, I haven’t gotten to many examples of how to build the songs more to a climax and finish them. In your future songs can you give completed examples on how you build and finish your productions? If you already have finished production videos, will you please tell me where to find them? I wish very much to view as many of those videos as well. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us beginners and helping us. I am still wishing you continued success in everything you do in your music career. Have a wonderful day. I do hope that you will find time to answer a few of my questions in the very near future.

Nice video bro💯🔥

Excellent Brother.......

Those headies... they look very cool 😎

Wow man that's awesome

Appreciate this Bro.

For me - the best channel !!!

Nice Advice Thanks 🙏

Thank you bro

This tutorial is great! I'm curious, did you ever do a production live stream in the past and is it still online? I'd love to watch it and maybe learn a thing or 2 about creating a complete song

Alex is a genius
