eusid's FL Studio 8 - basic dance beat groove - tutorial - production techniques(2/2)

Hey just a heads up! While going up 7 semi tones is indeed a perfect fifth, going down 5 isn't, its actually a perfect fourth! Lol just a nit picky little thing from a theory buff, wonderful tutorial though! Now they need to make this program for mac users!!

I think you might want to pull out your keyboard and take a look. Go down 5 semitones from C, it is a G you will strike. Go up 7 semitones from C it is also a G you will strike. Making 7 up and 5 down a 5th. I want to be corrected if I'm wrong. If you can prove otherwise. My count still comes out to a 5th.

As for mac software I've always wanted to try Logic. I hear it is great. I've seen videos of it it and it seems very intuitive. However, I stick with pc for games, and compatibility issues.

Haha I know where the misconception comes from, they might sound similar but C to G going up is a perfect fifth, you are right there, but C to G going down is a perfect Fourth, Because there is only 5 semitones in that interval. Every perfect Fourth has only 5 semitones in it while every perfect Fifth has 7. they may be both the same notes but they are different intervals.

I stand corrected. This theory stuff is kind of goofy :)

[trawhi]

the thing that gets confusing is the fact that you can use that G as an inversion of the G and it still be a V or v chord. Although its a different interval it can be used to create the same chord in an inversion.

[RylanKunkel]

Its indeed the same chord, but its a different inversion of that chord so different intervals are being used in different places. But yes what you said is true! Hehe if you have any questions just give me a shout

thats really amateur work

[trawhi]

I never said I was going to do a full mix down master for you guys and make a professional song with all different types of chord progressions and dim chords and complex harmonies. I said I'd show you how to get started making a basic dance beat. If you want to judge some of my real work go to my myspace on the right of the page or come sift through the hundreds of files on my HD. I'll be happy to listen. I could care less how pro this track sounds. Ask urself if newcomers learned something.

If the answer is yes eusid you did demonstrate some FL Studio features that would greatly help a beginner then the video accomplishes its goal.
