1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:05,399
welcome back everybody to another philia
2
00:00:02,609 --> 00:00:08,638
song tutorial this time we talk about
3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,550
trans chord progressions and I will use
4
00:00:08,638 --> 00:00:13,410
sundog song studio for that sonic is a
5
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:17,160
standalone software that connects to any
6
00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:21,000
door why a MIDI so when I press a chord
7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,910
here as you can see it will play back
8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,629
the sound in Ableton Live
9
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:29,879
ok let's start with the scale in trance
10
00:00:27,629 --> 00:00:32,429
productions we nearly always used the
11
00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:34,409
minor scale it sounds quite emotional a
12
00:00:32,429 --> 00:00:36,750
little bit dreamy a little bit sad as
13
00:00:34,409 --> 00:00:40,229
well and that's the type of sound that
14
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:44,460
we want for the root note we usually use
15
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:46,949
the notes T to a in my example I will
16
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:49,230
work with an F minor scale because I
17
00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:51,690
think that it sounds quite nice with my
18
00:00:49,229 --> 00:00:53,000
son's especially with my bass sounds and
19
00:00:51,689 --> 00:00:56,488
the kick
20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,250
ok what we see here is the main chords
21
00:00:56,488 --> 00:01:06,209
page of son log so we have try it's over
22
00:00:59,250 --> 00:01:08,159
here and for not courts down here but
23
00:01:06,209 --> 00:01:10,618
for trends we usually only work with
24
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,689
triads in the beginning I would
25
00:01:10,618 --> 00:01:14,609
recommend to stick to the blue row here
26
00:01:12,688 --> 00:01:18,029
but of course you can also take other
27
00:01:14,609 --> 00:01:20,368
buttons as well the first blue chord is
28
00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:24,540
the most important chord of the scale
29
00:01:20,368 --> 00:01:26,969
and I would recommend to use this chord
30
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:30,270
at least once in your progression either
31
00:01:26,969 --> 00:01:33,000
in the beginning or in the end I will
32
00:01:30,269 --> 00:01:35,009
use it as my first chord and now we can
33
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,750
move on to other chords the most
34
00:01:35,009 --> 00:01:39,109
important chords for trance productions
35
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:43,409
are the standard minor and major chords
36
00:01:39,109 --> 00:01:46,109
and another sundog tip when you click on
37
00:01:43,409 --> 00:01:48,240
a chord you play it back as usual but
38
00:01:46,109 --> 00:01:50,750
when you do a right click you play the
39
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:53,989
same chord one octave below
40
00:01:50,750 --> 00:02:08,240
in my example I start with f minor and
41
00:01:53,989 --> 00:02:10,370
now I will add some other chords it
42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:23,028
sounds like this
43
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:23,028
[Music]
44
00:02:23,289 --> 00:02:28,938
as you can see that's already a good way
45
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:31,280
to hear how the chords sound together
46
00:02:28,938 --> 00:02:33,859
and to get something going quite quickly
47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,039
but here's another tip for you let's
48
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:38,599
click on use chords
49
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:41,150
if you don't know the sundog yet son
50
00:02:38,598 --> 00:02:43,128
lock is a special type of sequencer it's
51
00:02:41,150 --> 00:02:46,280
especially interesting for songwriting
52
00:02:43,128 --> 00:02:48,739
and song sketching the main concept you
53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:51,199
start with the chords and then you use
54
00:02:48,739 --> 00:02:53,658
the built-in sequencer to play harmonic
55
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:59,000
melodies and rhythmic courts that always
56
00:02:53,658 --> 00:03:07,030
fit to your core progression like this
57
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:09,919
[Music]
58
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:20,300
let's quit the solo mode and listen to
59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:22,429
everything at once now let's get back to
60
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:26,840
the cars page and activate settings
61
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:29,030
caught you real-time preview this way
62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,039
you can listen to the chords in context
63
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:42,080
of the whole song when you press play
64
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:44,120
here in trance productions we usually
65
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,540
don't use standard chords but we use
66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:50,270
so-called open chords an open chord is a
67
00:03:47,539 --> 00:03:56,810
court that is similar to this one but we
68
00:03:50,270 --> 00:04:02,870
move singer notes one octave up so now
69
00:03:56,810 --> 00:04:09,289
the chord sounds like this and before it
70
00:04:02,870 --> 00:04:12,500
sounds like this so this sounds more
71
00:04:09,289 --> 00:04:14,870
open more Airy and that's the quality
72
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:17,189
that we need for our trance songs I will
73
00:04:14,870 --> 00:04:20,490
do the same with the other chords
74
00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:20,490
[Music]
75
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,410
[Music]
76
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,300
and usually I keep the first cord closed
77
00:04:31,569 --> 00:04:36,519
so I don't use an open court here
78
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:38,889
because I think it's interesting when
79
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:42,339
the courts open up more and more in the
80
00:04:38,889 --> 00:04:43,990
course of the progression so let's
81
00:04:42,339 --> 00:04:56,359
listen to it again
82
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:56,360
[Music]
83
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:03,860
the whole song sounds much more like a
84
00:05:01,430 --> 00:05:06,829
trance track now so the first step is
85
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:09,259
used mostly major and minor chords the
86
00:05:06,829 --> 00:05:12,379
second step opened these chords up a bit
87
00:05:09,259 --> 00:05:14,779
and in the third step we put some
88
00:05:12,379 --> 00:05:18,199
linking chords between some of our main
89
00:05:14,779 --> 00:05:19,879
chords so far the chord progression was
90
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:22,639
quite long and there was not much
91
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:25,279
movement going on but of course we want
92
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:29,660
some action and some flow and we can do
93
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:31,819
this with extra chords for example in
94
00:05:29,660 --> 00:05:36,139
this position here I want to add a core
95
00:05:31,819 --> 00:05:37,689
type called suspended chord let's try
96
00:05:36,139 --> 00:05:42,110
this one
97
00:05:37,689 --> 00:05:46,969
let's listen to a minor chord again and
98
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:49,460
this is a suspended chord as you can
99
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:52,340
hear it's more powerful it contains more
100
00:05:49,459 --> 00:05:56,060
tension and when we listen to such a
101
00:05:52,339 --> 00:05:57,560
chord we want relief so let's open it up
102
00:05:56,060 --> 00:06:11,550
again
103
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:15,220
[Music]
104
00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:18,970
and I would like to add another minor
105
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:21,660
chord like we used over here and it
106
00:06:18,970 --> 00:06:21,660
sounds like this
107
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:46,620
[Music]
108
00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:49,110
so these are the main tips for
109
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:50,999
transcloud progressions but I want to
110
00:06:49,110 --> 00:06:53,489
show you another tip
111
00:06:50,999 --> 00:06:55,079
I already prepared another cloud
112
00:06:53,488 --> 00:06:57,328
progression and in this chord
113
00:06:55,079 --> 00:07:03,989
progression I use another type of chord
114
00:06:57,329 --> 00:07:06,389
and that's the so called power chord the
115
00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:09,118
power chords are always in this line and
116
00:07:06,389 --> 00:07:14,069
they end on size let's get back to a
117
00:07:09,119 --> 00:07:16,619
major chord as you can see a major chord
118
00:07:14,069 --> 00:07:22,919
consists of three different notes C
119
00:07:16,619 --> 00:07:27,419
sharp F G sharp and a power chord only
120
00:07:22,918 --> 00:07:29,908
as two notes C sharp G sharp and here we
121
00:07:27,418 --> 00:07:32,359
have another C sharp again so there are
122
00:07:29,908 --> 00:07:35,759
not three notes but only two notes and
123
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,610
this type of chord sounds quite powerful
124
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:41,549
on the one hand but also quite airy on
125
00:07:38,610 --> 00:07:43,499
the other end so major and minor chords
126
00:07:41,548 --> 00:07:45,328
are the most important cause for trends
127
00:07:43,499 --> 00:07:48,070
and from time to time you can use
128
00:07:45,329 --> 00:08:02,220
suspended chords or power chords
129
00:07:48,069 --> 00:08:06,159
[Music]
130
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:08,020
and as always when we are ready with our
131
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,830
progression we can take this meaty
132
00:08:08,019 --> 00:08:14,288
symbol and drag it to our door and then
133
00:08:11,829 --> 00:08:18,038
we can use these cards in our door as
134
00:08:14,288 --> 00:08:18,908
usual another tip let's free download'
