Music Theory

HERE IS A .SNG FILE WITH A SHORT CHILLOUT IDEA IN IT https://www.mediafire.com/download/dbvjymvbqt3xr7u/Chilled_song_for_you_guys_to_get_ideas_from.sng HERE IS A .SNG FOR A DNB DRUM BEAT https://www.mediafire.com/download/6d61bs9aclzkbn9/DnB_beat.sng It has come to my attention that many people on soundation don't have a basic understanding of music theory and subsequently some of them find it hard to make there own loops, stay in a key and make nice sounding melodies. I intend to change that by helping those people get to grips with the basics, I will also be giving a few tips targeted at those who already have a good understanding and have to help really improve there musical depth, such as some really neat key changes (Key changes are barely used on soundation), chromaticism, blues notes, extended chords, countermelodies and many more, NEW!!!!: KRackEd EkHo had the idea of having a communal account so people can see the ideas of music theory for themselves as well as getting useful ideas. the user name is 'DusksMusicTheoryProgram@gmail.com' and the password is 'duskmusicuk' feel free to add new projects and test your ideas for others to see, I'll be putting a few things up for others to use and get ideas from. the only things you cannot do is delete projects, change the password or do anything on the community with this account, this account is purely for use in the studio. if anyone does otherwise the account will be shut down, so please obey by the rules. The Basics: there are 12 notes on the key board A, A-sharp/B-flat, B, C, C-sharp/D-flat, D, D-sharp/E-flat, E, F, F-sharp/G-flat, G, G-sharp/A-flat, check the link to see how these relate to the piano roll https://www.ehowtoplaypiano.com/piano-lessons/piano-notes-for-songs/ ...but you only use 7 at a time because there are only seven in each key, e.g. C,D,E,F,G,A,B,(C) an octave is C1 to C2 as C2 is the 8th note from C1 (as there are seven in the scale) The gap between to note directly adjacent to each other (e.g. B and C or D and D-sharp) is called a semitone, 2 semitones are called a tone (e.g. the gap between C and D is a tone, check the piano roll or link to see for yourself) Major Keys: the pattern of these tones and semitones for a major scale is T,T,S,T,T,T,S (e.g. C,D,E,F,G,A,B,(C) for C major or F,G,A,B-flat,C,D,E, for F major you simply pick a major key and to work out the scale for that key you use the pattern T,T,S,T,T,T,S to find all the notes. Minor Keys: For a natural minor Key the pattern is T,S,T,T,S,T,T but for a harmonic minor the pattern is T,S,T,T,S,T+S,S (mess around and see which you prefer), so an A (natural) minor scale would be A,B,C,D,E,F,G,(A) an A (harmonic) minor would be A,B,C,D,E,F,G-sharp,(A). check this site for more https://www.loopblog.net/tutorials/music-theory-tutorials/understanding-basic-scales-more-loop-fun/ or https://www.music-tutors-uk.com/Theory/scales.html Basic chords: the most common chord is a triad, it has 3 notes and the have intervals of thirds (in others words they have one note in between them (from the scale of the key), e.g. in C major the notes of the scale are C,D,E,F,G,A,B so a third would be C to E or D to F) in this clip, the chord C major is played first, the first note is C, the next note is E as it is a third away (one note in between), then a G is the next as it is a third away from E this gives you C,E,G and this is how you make triads. check this clip and my comments at the beginning for a proper lesson on chords https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/the-basics-of-chords also check these clips for more on scales and chord sequences (more to come) https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/simple-chord-sequence-in-c-major-sequence-i-v-vi-iv-1-5-6-4 https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/harmonic-minor-scales-a-minor-to-d-minor-pattern-t-s-t-t-t-s-s https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/major-scales-c-major-to-f-major-pattern-t-t-s-t-t-t-s

Elements of Music

*In partnership with angel the hedgehog* Come one come all, music makers of any kind can join. From the "Nature" type to the "City" type. The main goal of this group is to have fun and be yourself, the more originality the better!

Cheapskates (free users unite!)

Think you need a premium account to make good music on here? Nah that's rubbish, I am a free users and think soundation is great without any of the paid stuff. So if you want to show off what you can do with a free account join now and post your stuff. Have fun and share your music! Edit: Soundation are making it harder and harder for new users, from restricting the number of instrument tracks in each project to removing automation. This is really unfortunate. All I can suggest for those who miss these features but do not want to pay a premium for them is that you give audiotool a try.

Soundation Addicts

Welcome! Take a tour, and if you feel like sticking around press that 'Join Group' button! It's a privilege to be apart of this group. Here, you can be apart of a community. You can make friends, get feedback on your music, or seek help if you need it. It is a privilege, do not abuse that privilege or it will be taken from you. There aren't many rules so I am asking you to please obey them. Please do not bully. If you are commenting on someone's track, don't be nasty, be fair. Please respect each other. Please do not troll or spam. You are allowed to promote your tracks and groups of course- but please don't get excessive. ANNOUNCEMENTS (8/7/2014): Hey everyone, it's me. I know that many of you were very frustrated with me because of my long absence- there were no winners of the Halloween contest I was hosting last year because of this. I know that was really upsetting and disappointing- you guys put a lot of effort into the tracks that you entered and I thought they were all wonderful. I don't know how to describe how sorry I feel. I've been gone so long, I've basically just disappeared and let this group die. And I know that I've been gone many times before, and I know that I've made excuses over and over but I promise you that if it weren't absolutely necessary to take a break- then I wouldn't have. The reason for my long absences is personal so I would prefer not to share but I promise you guys- I really am back and I'm going to be as active as I possibly can be. I am terribly sorry- I hope you guys can forgive me.

Knarled Synthesizers

There is a change in the group feature system! From now on, there will be a new artist every week we will feature. If there is a song produced during that week, they may request to have it featured in place of a previously featured track. So, PM me if you think you, or someone you know, deserves a week dedicated to them! Thanks guys, you're really making this group grow. Hello, welcome to Knarled Synthesizers! We're a small, relatively active group of music producers. Some of us are veterans, with experience in the field, while some are but beginners. I appreciate you looking at our page! I'm still new to the whole group administrator thing, but I'm learning with time. I'm very surprised at how fast we've grown! I know it's only a little more than ten, but that's still around one a day. You see so many groups die immediately. This is already more than I had anticipated, and I thank everyone for that! Anyways, uhm, group goal and things. In my opinion, I think we should just do whatever! The feedback I've received from the members here has driven my motivation, and inspiration, through the roof! I think that if you like making, listening to, or talking about music, you should join! I haven't had a problem with any rude, discourteous people yet, and I don't think I will anytime soon. Now, I don't think we're even close to the point of hosting contests and things, so I'll leave that for another time. I will change my featured tracks whenever the time feels right to change them, usually that's when someone posts an awesome track. I will never have more than one of my own tracks featured at once, as it feels selfish and rude to all of the others that have made music deserving of the position as well! Thanks for reading, and join up if you want to talk to me, or anything of that nature! Oh, and there is no genre specific track requirements. Although, I would prefer it be made without library samples. -NEW- ~Be on the Look-Out List~ I sort of stole this idea from BASS4ROG, but, there are a few people in my group with no where near the amount of exposure they deserve. This is just a list of up-and-comers. 1. Xephyr - This kid is talented and highly active on Soundation. He has around twenty tracks, and most of them are either really amazing, or have a lot of potential. Check him out, and make sure to tell him what you think. https://soundation.com/user/Xephyr 2. dApl8ya - He's been a part of the site longer than I have. He took a little break, but he's back. He's always given me feedback, and all of his songs are sweet. Check dude out, and let him know what you think. https://soundation.com/user/lit97 LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT YOU BELIEVE DESERVES A SHOUTOUT WITH A PM OR COMMENT. SEND ME ONE OF THEIR SONGS, AND I'LL CHECK THEM OUT. THANKS.
