Using two chord progressions in edm
If you have heard any of my music by now you know im a fan of music theory! Not only does music theory make your music come alive,but without it ,without knowing it you cant break the rules and create some hands in the air music to get people going crazy on the dance floor. Or just get people going crazy about your music in the first place.
So what i done here in this video is show you a simple trick to get a certain vibe going or to create some tension in your music.All you have to do is create two chord progressions! Yes thats it! The trick is to not just create anyone they have to be in same key same scale etc for it to sound good. So choose a first and a third
or the tonic and the fourth whatever you decide. Just make sure it sounds good.
About the sound
So in the video i basically just show you one loop in gmaj then another in c-minor. I did not program a full on intro or anything i just have the loops in session view to show you as an example,i also did not program a full 32 bar loop both of these are 4 bar loops just looped again for the example. Had this been an actual song i would have programmed a evolving 32-64 bar main riff but thats for another tv show.
So back to the video pay close attention to your emotion and how you feel when the cmajor lead comes in and how you'd feel if you hear it in a club or in your radio a dance floor you'd be going wild.
So do yourself a favor and start using music theory in your tracks! You will be asking yourself what took me so long!
