I just looked at a list of piano chords and they're so many! I don't think you all go through the whole list. How do I go about this? I just want to add basslines to a sample.

basslines to a sample are easy as ...all you do is if you are using an audio editor tone the original beat down with Equalizer and place the new beat over that one it's phenomenal what you can do with audio editors just a little time and practice

^are you talking about low-end theory, where you layer a low filtered version on top? I can do that and it sounds great, but I need to make basslines out of synths or instruments to layer it on a sample.

I would have to find the key and going through page after page of chords is not something I would like to do for every song. This is a list of chords with the fingerings btw. I don't know the keys to press for too many chords.

you dont play basslines in chords, all you need to do is find out what scale the sample is in, and find the key it is in, i know it sounds crazy and/or hard but its quite easy. been teachin my self music theory for a year now and im pretty good. is the song u sampled a dark soundong song? if so chances are the scale is the minor scale. if the song is a happy happy sounding song its probably in major scale. or try the "m" scale or m7 scale, probably one of them scales. then once you find the scale find the "key" its in. this is the site i use and its very helpful

They are right

However if you are lazy a tool which can make it much easier is called Melodyne Celemony i think thats the naem of it. I have it at home and so far its been very accurate.

Make sure that if u speed up or slow down teh samples u lock the pitch then pitch them up and down by semitones as to not detune the song.

naww, your wrong! lol.

m7 & m scales are chords from the same scale. the difference being that the m7 has the 7th note of the scale unlike the m which would usually jus comprise of root,3rd & 5th.


However, you noted scale, & they are both from the (or a) minor scale & the same scale at that, so there is absolutely NO difference. you also forgot to explain to the mutha****a that most music is major, minor, & dominant all at the same time, & all that modal ish. anyone needs an explanation, hit me up

usually you play the first note of your bassline as the same note of sample then improvise
