Thank you, that was really informative. Amazing that by just moving the chord notes around you can produce such a fantastic sound. I have learnt a lot - now to put it into practice. Thanks again.
I tend to do plain boring chords following say a 1-5-4 or 1-4-6 pattern. I also tend to have an Arpeggio as my main melody. Starting off very simple and I don't tend to waiver too much from what I know. Templates do help get the ideas and workflow going, music theory and such helps as well. Very good
Happy New Year Demis! Long time DJ here but completely new into music production and I have to say these tutorials from you are absolutely gems !!! A shame that you have "only" about 5000 subs... Have to be at least 10 times more for sure ! I'm working very hard to get into all this stuff and its a lot of input for a newbie but you helped me a lot so far ! Thank you very much for your effort doing these tutorials !
Wow, I found another channel making tutorials with Cubase! 👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ I think I only know of one other channel that does exactly this with Cubase! So, cheers! You've got another subscriber! ❤️❤️❤️
This is the tutorial I definitely need. Always struggling with building chord progressions. You make it look easy but when I look at my daw it becomes confusing.
Persistence and passion will make it stick dude. Write down the octaves played in on the original and then you have a reference with out having to go back and forth. Some daws like Cubase let you see notes from all midi clips you select. 💪🏽😎
The root is the core of your sound just like planet root is the core of its growth. You can understand chords more at www.scales-chords.com their are a lot of tools to help you there.
The most trance tunes have only 4 main chords progression often with inversions in its repetition with 4/4 meter. It's a very primitive musical construction.
It does depend on the trance listened to. We could say all music is primitive because we use the same chords. It’s our interpretation through sound design that gives those chords a new flavour.
@@demishellen i myself have about 15 uplifting trance releases, wrote long chord progressions base, but main popular hits like tracks of Kandi, Armin, Tyas are very short in its chords.
To be frank, you change the progression so much it's not really recognizable anymore from what you started with. What you describe as "vanilla" I describe as "better," in a lot of cases. I don't understand what makes a chord vanilla or not, to me its either pleasing or not pleasing. A lot of the times I feel like you opt for a less pleasing chord because the pleasing chord is "vanilla."

Thank you, appreciate the love for the video :)
Good God, man! Your sounds are so good, and your explanations are really great! This track is hella moving so far!
Excellent video Demis. Just what I currently need for my tune which is using some of your Vital presets. All the best mate.
This sort of tutorial is so good to me. Thank you very much, respectable Demis.

Personally, I think/feel suspended chords is what makes melodies and harmonies feel "trance-y"; makes them feel less cheesy and more ethereal
Thank you for your videos! These are very inspirational!
Thank you so much for these videos man, truly helpful and to the point
Appreciate that 😎🎛 keep on producing

Everyone has their own way to approach chords :)
Great tutorial, thanks Demis!

I’m hearin what you sayin… but I couldn’t repeat back at this stage 😆🙏 however, I can feel myself stretch watching your content 😉 thankyou
So in summary you choose some chords in their basic interval structures and then transform them by using inversions?
Brilliant tutorial !t thank you
Thank you Trevor, appreaicte the comment :)

Hello~~Can I creat a chords which root is different from bass？I can't play them Harmony...
The root is the core of your sound just like planet root is the core of its growth. You can understand chords more at www.scales-chords.com their are a lot of tools to help you there.
@@demishellen Thank you very much for your reply！It's really helped me a lot~
Yes you can, if you know what you are doing. All the great classical music composers did this.
Thanks! This is a very helpful tutorial. cheers :)
😎💪🏽 thanks Gianluca.
Can you not just use a synth piano or sampler machine to create this in real time and record?

I agree however those artists are accounting for a more mainstream audience.
@@demishellen yes, thats why this kind of music is mostly for legs, but not for head
it somehow bugs me that you completely skipped the rhythmic part, that little trill you added goes a long way for example.
