- PART 2 - REVISITED : • FL Studio 12: Realisti...
Falling back into the good ol' habits of recording at least one video a week, I struggle to show you how to effectively make piano melodies. As you can tell, I'm very rusty with the whole "talking" thing... maybe i'm always rusty - who knows.
Sorry about the sound quality of the piano, don't really know what happened to be honest, it just recorded with a slight decimation filter? lol Yeah.

I do realize that I'm watching this video 8 years later, and you may be in another stage of life, but I just wanted to encourage you:
This is an amazing tutorial. You did not talk to much at all! The difference between talking too much and not talking too much is relevancy. Everything that you explained was perfectly relevant; you explained everything in detail, and they were useful details, which is what matters. Like the old adage "there's a place for everything and everything has its place." This was brilliantly done Sir.
(I mean, eight years later and you taught me something new and useful about using Pitcher!)
Thank You, Well Done.
Beautiful. Not everyone can come up with nice little melodies like this. Huge respect.
Also, I find just raw piano much better than any banging dance tracks I hear by far any day.
Of course anyone can just randomly enter notes in the piano roll following the scale. I've studied music theory. But I disagree with you, getting the feel right, I.E. - knowing when to play piano or forte, legato etc etc. does take talent. Otherwise we would all be Beetoven.
Yh true: he just makes it look easy
Resort HUB IT TAKES TIME PRACTICE AND DEDICATION. DONT QUIT BECAUSE ON YOUR FIRST TRY U DIDN'T GET IT. THAT IS WHY U MUST LEARN WHAT BARS ARE AS WELL AS , SCALES, CHORD PROGRESSIONS WHICH NOTES ARE IN A SCALE, MUSIC THEORY ETC. OUNCE U UNDERSTAND THAT THEN ITS UP TO U TO COME UP WITH UR MELODIES, CHORD PROGRESSIONS BASICALLY YOUR BEAT/INSTRUMENTAL. ONE BIG POINT HE MADE IN THIS TUTORIAL HE MAKES MELODIES ETC. DEPENDING ON HOW HE FEELS/MOOD HE IS IN. MUSIC AND I MEAN ALL MUSIC GENRES ARE BASED ON EMOTIONS. IF YOU ARE HAPPY U WILL MAKE HAPPY MUSIC, IF YOU ARE MAD ETC. U WILL MAKE MUSIC ON HOW YOU FEEL FOR THE DAY OR WEEK. OTHERS CAN CREATE MOODS OF MUSIC NO MATTER HOW THEY FEEL. FOR EXAMPLE U COULD HAVE A BAD DAY OR WEEK BUT OUNCE YOU GET IN FRONT OF YOUR STUDIO YOU ESCAPE THE WORLD AND CREATE HAPPY MUSIC JUST TO FORGET THE B/S YOU WENT THRU THAT DAY OR WEEK. OR U CAN CREATE REBELLIOUS MUSIC BECAUSE TAKING OUT UR FRUSTRATION MUSICALLY MAKES IT EASIER INSTEAD OF PUNCHING YOUR MANAGER IN THE FACE FOR BEING AN ASSHOLE. MAKING MUSIC IS LIKE THOSE WHO WRITE BOOKS AND CREATE MOVIES OF A WORLD THEY SEE OR INTERPRET LIKE THE MATRIX.
Yh. It's true. Chris progression as well as knowing scales is important
casually creating one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard
For Practice & Twisting Up. Well Spoken Though!
same thought
Its amazing how people can make melodies how they want them to be, to make an emotion or to carry energy, my melodies are whatever I can make that sounds good and I just stick to that before I loose it in the hour it takes to create one
your melody you make here and the things you taught are the sole reason i decided to learn music theory and to start making music. It is an amazing melody that sounds beautiful no matter how many times i listen to it. thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
These vids teach me more about notes/general musical theory than music class ever could back in school, without even focusing on it...
him: *plays 4 notes
me: *Gives up on life
Same Same TvT
Mood
**says it's horrible** **moves thousands of people**
RIGHT?!?! It's like, I try to make something this beautiful and it comes out like a constipated man trying have a shit. Then this guy gives a 25 minute tutorial of like 16 bars of one of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time! I need to start practicing more! xD
wwerdo4 Im trying to learn how to make music...I've been binge watching fl studio tutorials XD. And I hope you get better btw.
wwerdo4 hey... forget it
***** How did you even find my stuff it's not even on my youtube channel :/ you would have to look on soundcloud for "Technobatic Pistols" I dont think I have ever mentioned it anywhere but here XD
Beautiful just beautiful !!! 111
I like using the soft piano when i make melodies. It adds that relaxed feel to the song
"Because the kind of look like ostriches"
That made my day. Thank you.
I love it when you get side-tracked because you reveal a nice little gem of info that I need.
That's a beautiful melody. I really like it!
I definitely have to say this has increased my ability to make great projects. You really did teach a lot in this video. In a very understanding way.
He starts out like hes surprised that hes making a video
*accidentally hits record * oh shit well guess i gotta make a random tutorial now
I have been stuck on what and how to do a piano melody for a week now on a track I'm working on and you've inspired me and love the little pointers and suggestions you gave. Thank you!
I love how you started with, "Oh, hey guys!" I half expected an "I didn't see ya there!"
My thought exactly ^^
In You tube why are their formally users with relative profile content that respond to each other? It's weird but it makes me laugh...The happy real laugh...not the sarcastic shix.
Oh, dunno ^^' this comment was the latest one when I watched the video, I swear I didn't pay attention to the avatar :p
Ibrahim Mohamed RUclips's a pretty hostile place unfortunately, which makes many people think twice about responding to people in fear of starting an argument. Having similar avatars or interests makes people more friendly to each other, consciously or not, and they're more open to respond.
Oh ok, Haha, i just watch Videos on the new youtube, It's too confined!
the way you just move stuff around and then I hear it how you imagine it is incredible
*Congratulations! You are now a level 2 composer.*
(+355 exp)
This sounds absolutely beautiful. hearing it by 16 min made my day.
Lots of people in the comments are flexin their theory knowledge lol
You really just whipped out that melody
It's so pretty omg
Beautiful song I'm inspired to do more
Oh my God, this melody is gorgeous..
so.. we can just use this melody?
It's nice to have fl tutorials from someone with music theory. Great job and looking forward to watching many of videos.
Oh, hey guys, i didn't see you there (That how it does sound :D)
Wow, I don't think you know what you're talking about. This is absolutely beautiful and I'm very picky when it comes to music. Keep up the amazing work!
i cried :'(
for a melody that was thrown together really fast, that was amazing.. very nice and chill melody.. i could legit see that melody in a movie!! haha well done sir :D
Real piano plugins are too expensive? But you're using nexus, right? :D
Might be a torrented version. Also, he said they're too large.
ThatGuy well, if HDD space is the only problem... ;-)
I just don't understand this nexus users, they start using nexus before they even know how to use it correctly. :-D
but how are you supposed to learn if you don't use it first ?
Bogdan Pescarus nexus is a great solution for layering, especially for pads is it awesome. But not as the only synth, it just sounds boring to hear it in hundreds of tracks.
***** ummm. Ever heard of demo? Btw, I'd never publish something I can't work with...
Jeez that melody makes me feel light headed, haha! Great tutorial, I've been struggling a bit with making piano melodies but this really has given me a lot of tips to make my compositions a lot better. Thanks!
Actually, I think your song is in the key of E flat. I believe that the D sharp major key only exists in theory. Because the key signature of D sharp major would consist of nine sharps. Meanwhile, the E flat major key only needs three flats while sounding the same. Think about how you would spell a D# major chord. You would do it like so : D# - F## - A#. Basically each note has a sharp or a double sharp. Now I'll spell an Eb major chord to compare : Eb - G - Bb. Fewer alterations in the Eb key makes it simpler to use.
Thanks for the info :), but its fl studio lol , any noob could play around and sound like bethoven , ya know ? , take care :)
He's completely right. The Circle of Fifths plays a huge role in what hes just told you. Check it out for more help on key signatures, relative minors etc.
The reason why most Musicians prefer composing in Eb Flat Major or Minor is because using D# Major or Minor spelling is a bit harsh on the eyes for sight readers.
However, if people want to accept the Challenge of composing in D# sharp madness... may their sanity remain intact LOL
AND SHE WILL BE LOVED! It sounds like those lyrics would fit it
Well done ... !!!
Dude...this is too amazing for my ears....it is really lovely
dat piano was so close to make me crying
Listen to uplifting trance if you want more similar melodies :D
Ewan Mclaughlin Yeah, people like Andy Blueman
Hugo Hakvoort
Oh yea Andy Blueman :) What a God :) Try Soundlift too
So glad you gave the download link. This was beautiful.
I think it sounds like build-mode in TheSims... C:
thank you for giving us an opportunity to watch you create this, i really liked it. im inspired from this
i have trouble with my keyboard, there is a bit of a delay when i press the keys, do you have a solution?
Try lowering buffer latency thing. It was an issue I had with EWQLSO,
"It all comes down to buffer sizes, and you should be able to adjust this. The more tweaked and pimped out your system is, the lower the latency you can achieve without causing pops and clicks. "
High buffer leads to delays between pressing keys and hearing the sounds on the computer, low buffer leads to annoying clicks, so just find out which settings suit you. I'm not at home so I can't really find out where to navigate to find these settings, but I'm sure you can find it. :3
Download ASIO4ALL. Install it and select it as your output method inside fl studio. Turn the out buffer to about 512mb, you should be fine
Lol I know wht your talking about..........
Just put the output sound to asio and it will be fast as hell
adjust the velocity curve of ur midi keyboard to fixed.. read ur midi keyboard instruction manual it's surely mentioned in that
your profile picture... I like it
Great video I've been using fl for a few years now and never realised I was missing some of the basics. This inspired me. We'll done to you sir.
IT feels like if u don't have sylenth 1 or nexus u can't produce shit :/....
+Carl Hillman true story
+Calyx Entertainment All about the master? Huh?
+Chen Boi if u cant mix for shit then u cant produce shit. i have never even heard of sylenth 1 and i dont have nexus but aye i do p good as for my soundcloud. mixing everything n then mastering can help a whole lot better. i dont even know what nexus does even so. yap.
+Elegantdzn you dont know what the practically most popular vst for fl studio is? ok then
lol idc about stupid plugins that makes it easier. there's ways i can get the same exact sound without plugins as i would with plugins, so why would i need to worry about them? i dont.
I'm at the half of the video and i actually already love the melody!!
from where can I get NEXUS plugin?
Do you have the plugin?
Breezy Zamal I do, from pirate bay
Can you please give me the link?

Buying (probably the best option, at least its what I did) :refx.com/products/nexus/summary/
i'm just learning how to use fl studio...I still can't add vocals yet, but i'm learning everything else pretty quickly. thank you so much for this, everyone else was teaching 'beats' with piano, I want a real sounding song.
Nanobii copied you 4:00, lmao. Nanobii - Rainbowroad

You have a real nice touch in the piano! Even though I play guitar, I've always respected the beauty of the piano! Great tutorial by the way!
What I think: Bah, this is easy!!!
Really: Damn, this is hard...
😂😂😂😂
That melody just touched my heart
It will sound way more realistic if you don't use a nexus piano
Why is that ?
lol , I think I am the only one that doesn't mind your ramblings in between tracking. I do the same stuff . It cracks me up . Love the tutorials , I forgot that I watched one of your tutorials a while back , but just found your user name .
Much love . - 1w15h (Jeremy)
Here's what i was able to produce using this piano melody
soundcloud.com/paradoxanomaly/hold-me-emotional-r-b-over , Thanks!
eq your kicks and sidechain that bass, it sounds like someone opening and closing the bathroom door at the club...i like it though :)
Thanks =D , I have to tweak the beat a little soon and lower the bass, I've noticed it too lol.
please tell me how can you make the effect sound at 0:08?
Sure, it was a pluck synth, it was not from nexus, I will give you a download link .
Ibrahim Mohamed Ok thank you so much :D :D
I love when there's a beginner and he doesn't known how to access anything and someone starts a video already with plugins loaded up instead of starting and showing where to find the plugins thats what I live for.
man fuck this shit. everybody is using that expensive shit. I'm just a kid trying do lit beats. is there a free alternative?
+Clay More More than enough Just look for free VST's
torrent you nerd
Jeffrey Garcia why nerd ?
+Young Cura its just silly that if he wants to do something for free he gets all butthurt without considering torrenting or using free stuff
+Clay More lol how old r u? bruh i got my fl studio 12 and sylenth for free. using google hax
Nice work...good to see pianos like this instead of looping chords like today
This is probably more helpful than any tutorial I’ve seen up until this point
Genius. Absolutely gorgeous.
the melody is so pretty
This melody you created is amazing. I gotta check out the .FLP you provided. Holy shot!
One of the most beautiful melodies I've heard in a long time :)
Beautiful piece you created. Love the sound of your melody.
I absolutely loved your tutorial and I thank you very much for your insights and skilful exposition. Instant favourite.
As to "realism" I just wanted to add that, like photography and the other visual arts, less is often more in my book. Sometimes things get too 'bling" and surreal (such as HDR). So it is with this stuff, and personally I preferred your "drier" treatment prior to the reverb and whatnot.
Very best wishes.
Thanks for this tutorial! The setup of notes helps me a lot making these beautiful and warm melodies! Also a big thanks for letting me noticed of KarmaFx! Their plugins seems to be pretty damn good!
This melody is very touching. Agree?
Nice tutorial mate
on a serious note, only you could make something beautiful like that !
almost sounds like a choir singing to the end of the notes when all mixed up, great tutorial dude!
Beautiful, just beautiful. I want to go and learn this on my piano now!
This melody is beautiful! Good job!
Well, you are completely right! FL Studio is very difficult at the beginning. I did not understand anything at the very beginning. Now all I never tried, was to use external controls other than Keyboard and Mouse, which definitely is enough for someone making it just as hobby like me.
But back on topic: I'd love to have a plugin, creating realistic Piano sounds... I don't mean generate, I mean replay a recording, like a few Plugins do. That sounds better, but is uncommon and hard to find!
I really really loved watching this. Im not sure i can do what you do, but this was cool to watch.
I like that you dont loop just a couple bars.. Good stuff man. Subbed
lovely melody Im completely in love with it!
this sounds beautiful holy
This is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial, but mostly thanks for the beautiful music.
AN OFF BEAT IS BASICALLY THE 3rd BEAT IN A QUARTER NOTE. FOR EXAMPLE IF U SET UP UR GRID TO 1/16 NOTES AND 4/4 TIME, WHICH MOST PRODUCERS USE WHEN MAKING A BEAT, U WILL SEE 4 BOXES FROM LET SAY 1st BAR TO 2nd BAR MEANING 1 BAR. EACH OF THOSE BOXES REPRESENT A QUARTER NOTE WITHIN THOSE BOXES U WILL SEE 4 MORE SMALL BOXES WHICH REPRESENT BEATS AS IN STEPS AND HOW THEY DETERMINE THE TEMPO OF A SONG BPM, IF YOU ADD THOSE SMALLER BOXES THE SUM WILL BE 16 WHICH IS THE MEANING 1/16 AS FOR 1 BAR WITH 16 STEPS OR BEATS.
I really managed to absorb something from this video. Thanks so much for the awesome content! Greetings from Brazil!
I can never look at the velocity things the same again.... But GOOOD TUTORIAL (y)
a little tip, always the output sound coming from the vst should be low to overcome peaking, like at -14 db and the knoob on the left of the pattern should be always 100%... then mix the sound on the mixer to higher the frequencies and get a clear sound. I got this tip from a video of a sound engineer. SORRY MY ENGLISH IS NOT PERFECT..
Such a beautiful melody! Great video as well!
this is stunning
Pretty tune. Good tip about using "Pitcher" to see notes in a scale.
If you're doing it within piano roll, you select all of the notes by holding down ctrl and dragging your mouse over the notes you wish to copy, then pressing Ctrl + C for copy. To paste, you go into piano roll for the next instrument and press Ctrl + V. If you don't want to go into piano roll to do it because you wanna copy the whole thing, right click on the channel (in the pattern interface) > edit > Copy. Then follow the same steps to paste except you click "paste" on the other channel.
Not really sure why Germany is gettting so worked up on this piece, but personally I think it turned out quiet nice. Considering the fact this was done within less then half an hour. Really impressed mate.
I cannot describe the sheer amount of awe, envy, and jealousy I am experiencing right now. That pretty much makes you a badass seeing how that rarely happens to me.
this sounds lovely
Opened my eyes with this video!
"ohhhhhh hey guys"
such a lovely voice
I hope everyone learns something from this amazing fellow Thanks Chemstry :D.
Brings more interest to use FL all of the sudden. Well done dude! :D
Love the nice soft melody you made :D
i dont care how late i am, i think i just heard one of the most beautiful melodies ever!!!! and so i beg of you to make it into a full melodic trance with club kick drums to add a hint of power to really make you move I could definetly get lost in that melody. please and thanks ^__^
UGH WHY IS THIS SO GOOD!
That melody sounds very realistic man, good job.
"I don't know if this sounds good, well, I know it sounds pretty good" You're one of the only people on RUclips who can say that without me thinking they're cocky. :D
Oh my god...it's beautiful...
You have such a warm and soft voice!! :)
wow i love that melody very much . i wish i could make melody like that . its a heart touching melody .
Now that I've actually watched the entire video, great tutorial.
Wooow... Amazing melody! Man u are really good with dis stuff. I think I liked it more without d reverbs. Nice work man.
