All language subtitles for 12-06 - Turning Melodies Into Arrangements - deadmau5 Teaches Electronic Music Production

When I'm creating things I usually just start with the

The basic routenote

Structure of it whether it's like just

Straight up octaves of the bass

Playing

A series of notes that result

And then and then I'll go back

And then layer it until the point where it's like

How much do you want to wear it do you want it to be some big Lush piece of berry

Very harmonious

Kind of coral

Kind of sound which

I like

So I tend to lean towards that a lot or

Don't want to take that whole big Corral that I've done

And then

Split it up into just I want a grinding bass doing that and then this

Mid part of the of the chorus

And invite course I don't mean affect courses in Multan

To the voices all playing different Harmony

Things like a Gregorian

Church choir would be as I want okay

You guys do this with this instrument and then you guys do this with this instrument or make the decisions they look just do it all at once

Call use with the semen

Kind of thing

It's all like

Style options

Dress up Barbie you got the

Cool outfit

Just got a mix-and-match it or

Her just give her a pair of shorts and sent her on her Merry way to the mall man

The bass note is is your

For me it's the lowest note in the in the chord structure right

It's this row

Bottom now

If that's that's your key or and now what do you want to follow that same flat no pattern in this case I do

Did but

If you want to

You know break it up and then repeat some notes and all that

That stuff honestly that's how I do bass it's it's it's the lowest common denominator root

For the rest of everything else

You can always experiment with going up a v or 1/7

So let's actually try that

So let's let's let's shut our progenitor off

Cuz sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

It doesn't work

Sometimes about

But I mean you don't know if you don't try

Right then that's kind of

Michael take on it

That's basically your base frequency where you're probably going to use another synth

To do that,

Anything in which case I tuned my kick drum to that route

Node and

Some of these other

Weird

Synchronize

And that's all the same core just being played in a different order

That the one thing you kind of do have to

Be considerate of his your drums

Because those are two

Conflicting frequencies they're in the same Realm

Especially your Kick Drum suit your Kick Drum in Your Bass note

Are going to have some kind of phase conflict

Somewhere in there so

Two ways around it are

You know spacing your basenotes out in such a way that you're not really going to have a kick and a bass note at the sea

Same time but if you absolutely must

You know make sure you're ducking the bass just

Sunopta

To avoid

The colliding frequencies that

That do phase cancellation

And stuff like that but that's like

Book

Could be written on how to avoid you know like phase cannons

So that those I know

Or my

Chords

Fallout 4 the whole thing base included and all that

So if I wanted a lead out of that

I mean I could arbitrarily go in I I just know this by you no experience and practice

CNN

Take

Maybe some of these mid notes and then

Or actually you know what

There

So I'm going to guess

That that shape is going to make a decent lead so I'm going to copy that

Duplicate

This channel

Clip there

Who's going to be the same sin

Outside

There

So there I have some kind of

Great

That's the same my ref

Happy birthday

Almost

Wow

Okay so now I would I could take a

Appreciation to land

Arpeggiator Sr like

The time it doesn't ever every Apple have one

What this is going to do is it's basically going to go through all the notes

So both of those two cords

And then I'll just doing as a stepping through the notes

In-wall in in

Way it's going up

So it's going to go down whatever the f***

Really it's up

Nnn the rate of appreciation is going to be your time

The duration of the note or you can go

Steps

And it's always fun to just try and go up at 7th every time her or sorry

I want one step and then instead of going a notch

Octave up I'm going to go

1/7

Aura V

7th or 5th arcane

An hour straight octave would just be

And then a fifth wheel might not work in this case

Now there's some things good about that something's bad about that

Because it went up at 7th and then in this is where I would do this kind of

Facts

This is a decision arpeggiator as well

This plug-in we developed

So this is an arpeggiator to but

This arpeggiator works in a cycle where I can pick

You know which note I wanted to play

So I know that it's just going to play that one Note 1

Kind of thing

Explain that one no

So I know that I'll let's say

Play every third note I want to go up a 7 so

Hiragana

Pads

And I'll go

That's a salmon

I know it's wrong but that's okay

So what all end up doing is just recording

No data so you can see the new update of being fed in here my big

Also wrong also wrong

I got to get enough

So now once I shut that input off than I have

My track back

It's not I don't even need narp

PGA Tour now because

Printed the

No data there so

Those are the actual notes being played

Now I can go ahead

S*** like that but then it's all about your pattern really just having

Don't play out like that isn't very interest

The second demonstration generate a lead out of that Melody just kind of by going

In here and then you know either picking the top line or

You know some of the middle guys are

Whatever I

Until I find some

The works

And

You know if if I were a keyboardist or pianist I would be saving a whole lot of time by you

Just being able to play it in or

Whatever in

Sometimes I'll try

Try that and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but I just find myself more

As a non-musician you know I find myself getting it done Easier by

Taking pieces of the

The whole bag

Like Coral

Cordova

Thing that I do in the

Just boring

Pieces out of that

Putting it into different process

Whether it's arpeggiator

Other sins are just leaving I'm a straight note

Sending using

Plugins

To handle that

Usually how you do

David doing

A leader an extra layer

Some

Funniest fight

Melody

And this is like a really good example of a Melody that you just

Here

Anywhere

And I like that

Does he like what the

I don't know what I'm going to call it

The working title is

She can see all my court structure here but it's all broken up and split on between

Instruments

But it was all derived from single

Chords sing with that leaves

And you can tell actually all these Cliffs are called F chord

Because I literally copied the exact same cord across the chart and then switched it up with different

Notes in different instruments

And then I had two very ate it and then very hateful

Lead but I of course had to go in manually and change a few notes but

So this is kind of a chorus

Tears of change

Random

Harp sample that I

I found on the internet

That I am

Dtoon tablet

Maki

And it's like part of the bells and whistles

Process but

Again miss this lead and in this base

And this synth

We're all derived from a series of cords so

If I were to go into

Descendants and then

See the middle for that

It's all been broken up and

I can guarantee you and I I think in this case

Fold the note so only display the keys that are showing

And if I win

Back

And

Basically

Sustain all the notes in this chord

I could tell you that

You know this was the cord I work with someone

And then it went

No te here

I mean that's it's all just arrived from sustained chord

Which is on

F****** music is

Girl chord structure

But you know Arrangement certain pattern

And then I took

The base of that

Denoting

Play it in through this and added some

Monkey faces to do I guess

That's not even a real base

Sounds like a bass

So I mean that's

Kind of how I derive melodic structure out of

Out-of-court
