All language subtitles for How to find great chords by ear_ Electronic music production with Sundog (1080p_30fps_H264-128kbit_AAC).inglese

welcome to a new video on electronic

music production and songwriting this

time it's all about finding chords and

chord progressions by ear we will use

sunblock skate studio for that son Luke

is a specialized composition software

and it contains a lot of tools to find

great chords on any scale Sonic is

connected to the door why a MIDI when I

click here

ableton life will receive MIDI notes and

play them back it's really simple all

right let's start in the main interface

we click on chords what we can see here

is the courts page it contains the most

important cause of the current scale in

this case all chords of C major I can

simply click around here and listen

through the little pots

now I want to choose a different scale

up here

there are many scales included and I

pick C minor some work will recalculate

the page and display only chords of C

minor now

the courts and the upper part consists

of triads and you can see the notes down

here and in the lower part you can find

fallout chords it's also important to

know that all these columns share courts

with the same root node in this case see

and here we have everything with F

so from left to right the root note

simply go up the scale all right

now we can create a simple chord

progression just by testing some chords

on this timeline I can click on time

slots and fill them

let's listen to that

using the lock symbol we can protect the

timeline so if I click here I won't

change the chord progression anymore

okay so what can we do with that the

most simple thing is taking this MIDI

symbol and dragging it to the dog

as you can see here Ableton import of

the MIDI data quite nicely and now I can

do everything that I want to do as usual

for example I can trigger an arpeggio

inside sylenth1

so what else can I do with my claw

progression here comes one of the core

strengths of San dog I click on use

courts and now I can tell different

tracks to follow the court nodes

automatically I click on edit follow the

court notes and now this sequence keeps

going with the chords I can also do that

with an app head view

as you can see it's very easy to build a

base track with that and it's also quite

fast but let's get back to the cards

page so far I only showed you the most

basic features but you can do a lot more

so let's take a look at the advanced

stuff and no worries they are easy to

use as well you cannot only click on the

buttons but you can also use your

computer keyboard or your MIDI keyboard

when a press 0 I can play phone or

chords as well

and beside the center cords I can also

trigger other cords when I hold on

control also the add key

I can also play chords with my MIDI

keyboard and press a sharp to play final

chords

use f-sharp and g-sharp to do the same

stuff like it it with control and I

when I click on a chord I can use my

keyboard to try different inversions

just press up and down

another nice feature when I click on

choco attention here I can see which

quartz harmonic and which are more

dissonant the our mana cards have simple

plane backgrounds and the quartz with

more tension have strong stripes so this

one is very harmonic and this one has

more tension

it's very nice as you want to find her

money cards very quickly another nice

option you can turn on show chromatic

keyboard and courts view and now our

courts will be shown on a normal

keyboard

this way you can learn the chords if you

want to I will turn this off again

okay you can change the notes on the

keyboard here as well for example I can

add another note here or strengthen the

root note

when I click on keep I can store the

code on a special page but more about

that in a minute I create another court

press keep again and when I click on the

symbol now I get to another page where I

can find the court that I just played

and once again I can also play the

chords by using my keyboard

and I can also add other courts for

example this

these collections are very handy you can

also save them click on courts save on

courts or simply call it tests

and you can also load them of course

for example I thought some popular EDM

chords here

it's also possible to use them in the

timeline of course alright I go back to

the normal page now so called voicings

or caught variations are extremely

popular when you work with chords for

example you might want to under standard

C minor chord into an open chord

you can do this manually but there's

also faster way first I make a check at

Cod mods active in the settings and now

every button consists of three different

areas left right middle in the standard

configuration this will be the first

inversion down and this the second one

but we can also change that I click on

settings edit left Court mode here we

can configure how the court will be

transformed

we have a column for the first note the

second third and fourth note and here we

can decide whether the note should be

moved up or down for example I always

want to move the second note of the

chord one octave up

and I want to use it both for trades and

for not cause

these are all the changes that I have to

do and oppress okay this is a standard

and this is the changed version and it

works for all courts of course

now we want to change the right-field I

want to move the second note up again

and here can add additional court notes

for example I want to emphasize the root

note by adding it one octroi flow as

well

as you can see we got another node at

the low end a tree sound strong enough

and another variation I edit the middle

part here I can add additional nodes to

the court these nodes weren't present in

the coop before but I can add them now

at one would be the root node of the

court and each additional app will go up

the scale a certain amount of steps I

will demonstrate that with at nine

okay when I click here no this part

would be the normal code and this is the

ninth node 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

all right and this is how we can really

enhance the way how we work with quartz

here okay

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial you can

get some look at filius on Comm / sundog

and I'm sure that you will have a lot of

fun with the course page see you soon

bye bye
