How do you learn music theory in Image-Line's FL Studio?

What's the best way to learn music theory from scratch in Image-Line's FL Studio?

 

[Black Panther]

Music theory is a very long subject and will take a long time to go from beginner to intermediate. There is always something new to learn. But I can help. So where do you want to start?

Right from the top, as long as it relates to Image-Line's FL Studio DAW.

Here is what I think: you first need to learn how to do basic midi editing functions with Image-Line's FL Studio so that you understand the music software program before you dive deep into music theory.

And with that said, how would you describe your level of proficiency with FL Studio?

@Numero Uno are you familiar with pitches or the musical alphabet?

 

[Numero Uno]

@Numero Uno so are you familiar with pitches or the musical alphabet?

Yes, that I know but what is the highest and lowest note on a piano?

 

[Scorpio]

Yes, that I know but what is the highest and lowest note on a piano?

The lowest note on a grand piano is A0 (27.5 Hz) and the highest note is C8 (4.2 kHz or precisely 4186.0 Hz).

The lowest note on a grand piano is A0 (27.5 Hz) and the highest note is C8 (4.2 kHz or precisely 4186.0 Hz).

Okay, so since the lowest pitch on a piano is A0 (27.5 Hz) like you said. Is that the reason why audio mastering recommendations frequently point out to High-Pass Filter everything below 32 Hz or 36 Hz?

Technically, yes, you are right. Because anything below 32 Hz is mostly felt rather than clearly perceived by the human ear. Most audio systems don't go that low either. Meaning 43 Hz (note F1) and 55 Hz (note A1) that's the common bass extension plenty of audio speakers have.

Can we move on forward...

 

[Black Panther]

Can we move on forward...

Yes, sure. So do you understand the concept of "tonality?"

 

[Numero Uno]

Yes, sure. So do you understand the concept of "tonality?"

What's that?

 

[Black Panther]

What's that?

Basically, mainstream music is tonal. This means both melodies and chord progressions will revolve around a specified tonal center. For example, if you choose the tonal center as note C, then in that scenario as a music producer you may opt to use the scale of C major for composing music.

 

[Scorpio]

Yes, sure. So do you understand the concept of "tonality?"

I think you are moving way too fast for him. Y'all should reserve that tonality subject for later on and start with music intervals and counting semitones.

 

[Borrowdale Barron]

What's that?

For now, just think of tonality as a fancy way of saying the particular "Key Of A Song". Otherwise, you might end up getting confused too early.
