How I do my melodies - Chord progressions and Arps

[DirtyBass69]

what string/choir presets did you use for the intro?

[Hardzlover]

whit which one program do you creat this sound ,and maybe you can creat tutorial how to do that sound like in begining

[metroid557]

Your voice is Epic.

[bibhu290]

grt chords and pads

[0oShwavyo0]

really nice tutorial man, I learned quite a bit. a little bit was just reinforcing concepts that I already knew (playing mostly notes in the scale for example), but I really liked how you layered those sounds. thanks so much for this

[thegdfella4500]

AWESOME.

[zeppage4]

That is beautiful, could I ask how you got such nice sounds on the program? I am using fruity loops but none of the instruments on the right panel sound so nice. Did you alter the instruments in FL?

[Lewissnicholls]

VanderkayOfficial This was beautiful, Really helpfull too. This'll definately help me when I get a little more practice. But please finish this song and release it? :). This is something i'd be more than willing to buy if I found it on itunes.. Thumbs up man.

[Dzazterdude]

Simble!

[UryakiTokishido]

This sounds like it would be a wonderful intro for a Hard Trance or Electro song. If you have a finished product of this, I'd love to hear it. I'm an aspiring DJ, myself, so I'm looking for all the inspiration and informative tutorials I can get my hands on to get myself up and going. So far, I'm stuck in my progression, but I think this tutorial just got me out of the crappy melody hole I was stuck in. Much appreciated.

[deejayzyx]

amazing, except the bit after the first arp....

[hoan999999]

... When I hear the music and look at the workchart, it goes all woozy....

Trippy....

[SpAxXe]

so good!

[zachelliott1]

Vanderkay, I'm making a remix of this track right now. I was wondering exactly what FX you used for 4:33? If you could please tell me, that would be GREAT! I plan on uploading the remix as soon as I finish it.

Thank you,

Zach

[TheOriginalSpliff]

Dont argue about the genre >.> ITS MUSIC that sounds good... Just enjoy it and dont be a douche about it yo...

[Brinemusic]

Very beautiful! It's very rare finding someone who knows what their talking about on youtube, especially when it comes to electronica music. Very awesome video, and amazing tune man!

[GmodAttic]

Can I get the FLP PELASE. Id love to remix this track!

[Koffein92]

this song gives me goosebumps! :O :D

[BlackV4You]

AMAZING melody wow!

[SwayzeDre]

you're a music genius!

[TheDJJeffTronix]

Spectacular My Friend !!!

[DjMaksSokol]

What plugin did you used for string?

[jph230277]

Hi Vanderkay...thanks a lot for your tutorial...i really learned a lot today...thanks again mate...

[VanderkayOfficial]

@jph230277 I'm glad to hear you've learned something, that's what it's all about, learning and improving :)

[STEELRAIN327]

the strings at the beginning,i wish i had those on sylenth 1,does anyone know how to make them or where i can find a preset??

[STEELRAIN327]

thankyou sooo much,im working with logic pro and sylenth,this has explained perfectly the progression of putting a melody together,good work

[Dave9On]

I love it ! Its the style I want to develop. Can you recommend good vst for strings and chorus any for free out there or at least cheap?

THANK YOU!

[MadeByCody]

That intro was so fucking hot... Blown away.

[VanderkayOfficial]

@MadeByCody Thank you very much :)

[CEWAbenteuern]

Where did you get that guitar sound? I really like it. :D

[Seymourzin]

i really liked your progressions and arps !!!

Keep good work.

I just created some progressive trances because i do not realized how to get inspiration for uplifting... LONG LIFE TO UPLIFTING !!!

[superchrisbeatz]

i had used like the same chords in one of my beats lol:)dats weird

[BallinTillDeath69]

Wow your melody gave me the chills! GREAT WORK!!!

[BallinTillDeath69]

@BallinTillDeath69 slash arp... Same thing eheheh

[Swissalps04]

Loved every bit of it. Who ever is arguing abt what genre it belongs to definitely doesn't know about euphoric/uplifting trance. Go listen to some ASOT and you will be invited in our trance family. Vanderkay you rock. this is the best trance tutorial ever...................

[VanderkayOfficial]

@Swissalps04 Thank you very much, truely appreciate it :)

[prickelyheat]

thanks great work :D

[ZIG0707]

What vst's did u use for this video

[realcoolking95]

'dont make what you think other people will like, thats just wrong. make what you like' 100% agree with you mate. If you dont like it, then how can you expect others to like it? :P

[Tecnovic88]

Neat Oh! im still perfecting my chords and melodies! great starting point Thank you!

[Jericho2507]

trance arp with electro styled kick and hat ? didnt like it :s

[anastas91]

@Jericho2507 So where do you see the electro styled kick and hat?

[VanderkayOfficial]

@Jericho2507 You know what you just did there? Saying trance arp, is like saying a guitar can only be used in rock.. And just to enlighten you, no electro style sounds were used at all in this clip, maybe you should rethink that perhaps it's the electro you hear, that used from the trance scene.

[Jericho2507]

@VanderkayOfficial and wheres my other comment ? did u deleted it ?!

[Sulkynyklus]

@Jericho2507 Thats a 100% trance kick, man.

[opiumtrance]

Great tutorial, you are so right create only from within and never give up! I feel that some of the simpliest chord progressions sound the best and have great impact. Please keep up the good work. Thank you

[ChEeZeBaLL999]

nice video.

What VST are you using for the pad/choir, and for the arp?

[pn82hhz]

Thanks for your reply, I have a Yamaha DJX1 connected via midi to FL Studio 8. Got it all set up and experimented with the sounds in Nexus and Sytrus VST. But I do not play piano so dont have any theory understanding. But I am a massive trance fan and love the pads, chords found in this music, Would I need to learn piano to be able to creat my own? what are some good chords for trance?

[pn82hhz]

Really good sounds mate, but i guess you need to know a lot more about playing keys and about fl studio before creating at this level!

[VanderkayOfficial]

@pn82hhz Thanks alot for your reply, I'm glad you liked it. I guess it requires some basic knowledge indeed, but as I mention, it's just a matter of giving it a go and not letting anything stop you. Practise makes master :-)
