All language subtitles for How to make Trap_ Chords and melodies tutorial for a dark atmosphere (inglese_ASR)

welcome to a new sundog tutorial this

time it's all about trap music trap

melodies and harmonics we will use

around 140 beats per minute but unlike

an other drone will select techno we

won't focus on every beat so effectively

it will feel like a tempo of 70 beats

per minute this is why we call this

technique half time we will use 8 bars

this is a good length to do some chord

changes and very important we change the

scale from major to minor - perfect for

trap because provides a quite dark or

sad bass atmosphere these are all scale

notes

and now we start with the chords okay

here you see the different chords of C

minor down here we have four not chords

but followed courts are not in string

for trap music because they are too

smooth and Jesse we better use triads

and especially those strides where the

notes are very close to each other so

all the chords on this yellow line okay

if you use the court when the notes are

far away from each other it will sound

too bright

so if it's closed it simply sounds

better we concentrate on the minor

chords because minor chords are way

darker than major chords

it's also interesting to take a look at

suspended chords because they provide a

certain dark mood as well

okay we create a new club progress No

we don't want to change courts too much

a small twist

okay that sounds all right to me the

instruments here are connected to the

instruments in the door and on this

track we simply say follow the chords

with this instrument

and all we start playback as you see the

chords are played back here

I would also like to add the lowest core

node base mode so I changed this to full

quartz plus

now let's take a look at the drums the

bass drum here is triggered by this line

and it's narrow

and now for the Hyatts trap ayats are

played back very fast so we click on

double tempo and all the pattern uses

thirty-second notes instead of 16

these roads'll air characteristic

cymbal and now we do a little trick we

create a copy of the bass drum pattern

edit copy pattern and paste it on the

808 track

okay now the 808 follows the court notes

as well we would also like to pitch the

drum from time to time so we not just

playback a drum sample as usual but we

play it like an instrument we put it up

by an octave and we do this again at the

end

and sounds like this

we also have another background

instrument over here using a breath

sound would be very nice and typical as

well but I will stick to a thin thread

now click on follow the chord notes with

this instrument

and now a background setup is ready a

basic dark atmosphere okay let's take a

look at the melodies we take the piano

not all scale notes are equal there are

certain notes that are more interesting

for us we especially like to focus on

those notes that are only one semitone

apart from each other this interval

sounds quite dissonant so it adds to the

gloomy atmosphere on the minor scale we

got this interval here

as you see these notes are just one

semitone apart

Angie and a flap and the root note of

the scale is interesting as well of

course our main notes are C D E flat G

and a flat

alright let's switch to an instrument

the keys when I create a line then zero

on the pattern will play the first note

that is directly on the red line

so here the zero is a see the ones are d

Oh

the two is a flat for ski

Oh

and papaya is a plet

No

so we use five one two four we got the

most important notes covered not only

for trap music it's very interesting to

create small melodic variations here's a

nice trick double the pattern length

from eight to sixteen steps and son lock

will duplicate the sequence so for

example we can play back the one one

octave higher by clicking the box over

here

another trick we can move the red line

up to the dark yellow line this way we

transpose the pattern sequence one

octave up let's do this here and there

so that's a good trick to add to the

atmosphere let's do this again with a

different instrument I create a small

melody

so if we stick to these principles we

can create and test quite a few melodies

and when we're ready we can simply drag

and drop the MIDI file to our door and

everything is over here
