Unison R&B MIDI Melody Collection

Unison R&B MIDI Melody Collection

“Skip Music Theory, Get Inspired And Captivate Your Listeners With 120 Drag & Drop R&B MIDI Melodies.”
The origins of R&B are truly in the ‘40s and ‘50s when the name—Rhythm and Blues—really applied to the music.

In the late ‘70s, however, a new breed of R&B began to emerge that incorporated elements of disco, soul, hip-hop, electronic music and the original R&B.

Over the years, this genre has developed into a smooth, jazzy, beat driven style that has found mass appeal.

To create this pack for you, we studied the top tracks on Billboard, Spotify and other platforms to find the common threads and pattern between the melodies.

And, using the knowledge we gathered, we wrote melody after melody until we narrowed it down to the very best 120 which you’ll find inside this pack.

Plus, because these melodies are in MIDI format rather than audio, you have the ability to use them straight out of the box or transpose/edit the notes to your exact taste.

You can use the Unison MIDI Melody Collection with…

  •  Leads to create the driving force of your track and captivate your listeners
  •  Plucks to fill out the high-end of your mix
  •  Pads to add movement and complexity to the rest of your composition
  •  Keys to create the structure and foundation for your tracks
  •  Arpeggios to brighten up the song and add those extra finishing touches

The Unison MIDI Melody Collection will help you…

  •  Eliminate the need to spend years learning music theory by having all the melodies you need
  •  Have an instant, perfect-sounding foundation for your tracks to start & finish them quickly

Unison Hip Hop Rap MIDI Melody Collection

Unison Hip Hop & Rap MIDI Melody Collection

“Skip Music Theory, Get Inspired And Captivate Your Listeners With 120 Drag & Drop Hip Hop & Rap MIDI Melodies.”
Hip-hop has been one of the most popular genres of music for decades.

During its formative years, it was characterized by sample-based production, rapping, swing rhythms, and a laid back vibe.

As the years went on, drums became heavier, bass became fatter, rhythms became more straight, and, in a large portion of hip-hop, the subject matter darkened to reflect inner-city life.

To create this pack for you, we studied the top tracks on Billboard, Spotify and other platforms to find the common threads and pattern between the melodies.

And, using the knowledge we gathered, we wrote melody after melody until we narrowed it down to the very best 120 which you’ll find inside this pack.

Unison Future Bass & Melodic Trap MIDI Melody Collection

“Skip Music Theory, Get Inspired And Captivate Your Listeners With 120 Drag & Drop Future Bass & Melodic Trap MIDI Melodies.”
Future bass encompasses several styles but is generally known for its prominent use of wobbly poly-synths, big bass, dubstep influenced drums, jazzy chords, and bright melodies.

It is normally quite upbeat and exciting, almost light-hearted compared to many electronic genres.

To create this pack for you, we studied the top tracks on Billboard, Spotify and other platforms to find the common threads and pattern between the melodies.

And, using the knowledge we gathered, we wrote melody after melody until we narrowed it down to the very best 120 which you’ll find inside this pack.

“Skip Music Theory, Get Inspired And Captivate Your Listeners With 120 Drag & Drop House & Deep House MIDI Melodies.”
Off-beat hats, four-on-the-floor kicks, and punctuated bass lines—these are the elements that unite the myriad sub-genres of house music.

What began in the 1980’s as an evolution of disco and drum machines, has gradually evolved into one of the most popular styles of electronic music.

Unison Ambient & Downtempo MIDI Melody Collection

Unison Ambient & Downtempo MIDI Melody Collection

“Skip Music Theory, Get Inspired And Captivate Your Listeners With 120 Drag & Drop Ambient & Downtempo MIDI Melodies.”
Ambient is a catch-all term for any kind of music wherein the atmosphere is more important than any specific element.

This can be achieved in many ways, though it is often done through the use of large reverbs and delay, soft or muted timbres, pad-style synths, and subtle textures that evolve over time.

Anything that adds to the expansive, spacious—even meditative—quality of the music is favoured.

To create this pack for you, we studied the top tracks on Billboard, Spotify and other platforms to find the common threads and patterns between the melodies.

And, using the knowledge we gathered, we wrote melody after melody until we narrowed it down to the very best 120 which you’ll find inside this pack.

Basic Music Theory: Handouts & Worksheets: Notation, Pitch, Rhythm, Scales, Intervals, Chords

Basic Music Theory: Handouts & Worksheets: Notation, Pitch, Rhythm, Scales, Intervals, Chords PDF

Learn the language of music: notation, pitch, rhythm, scales, intervals, chords, and more!
This is not your ordinary music theory textbook! It was designed as a set of handouts and worksheets (with answers) that can function independently or complement and support live or online instruction. The handouts use a simple bullet-points-with-notated-examples format that makes them concise, direct, and easy to read. The worksheets allow you to put the concepts into practice, and you can check your answers against those provided as well.

The material covers the fundamentals of music – notation, pitch, rhythm, scales, intervals, and chords – and is suited for an introductory college theory course. These handouts and worksheets were developed to accompany the online course Basic Music Theory, from the Mastering MuseScore School, so they make the perfect accompaniment to that course. But they also work well in a live classroom situation. Compared to traditional and often overly-wordy textbooks, the handouts are ideal for educators to build lectures and organize class discussion around, and for students to consult later for reference. They can also be used as self-study material to help prepare for a more advanced theory course.

These handouts and worksheets are also available individually online, and they can be used interactively within MuseScore, where they are also fully accessible to blind and visually impaired musicians.

How to Mix Vocals From Your Bedroom In Any DAW Mixing POP Vocals Like Lil Nas X TUTORIAL

How to Mix Vocals From Your Bedroom In Any DAW Mixing POP Vocals Like Lil Nas X TUTORIAL

Mixing is a skill that is incredibly marketable and distinguishes between an amateur and a professional level sound.

I’m not saying you’ll become a rockstar overnight. But with what I teach you in this course and the persistence to apply it you’ll be that much closer.

Who is this course for?
This class is designed for artists, producers, and engineers who are starting out and want to get professional sounding records from their bedroom.

As an artist one of the best skills I ever learned was how to mix. You have COMPLETE control over how your music sounds out and it’s an incredible service if you’re looking for a full-time or part-time hustle.

By The End Of This Course
You’ll have a better understanding of how to mix your own vocals and the steps you need to take in order to achieve the sound you want.

I want to be clear. This isn’t about shortcuts. This isn’t about secrets. This is about learning the fundamentals, applying them to your own work, and taking your career into your own hands. These are tried and true methods I have learned through countless tutorials and recording sessions over the years that I wish someone had taught me at the beginning.

I also want to make the statement that there is no right way or wrong way to this. This is simply my way. If you want to hone your sound take your future into your own hands and craft what sounds good to YOU.

What If I Only Have Stock Plug-ins?
Great question, you.

All the strategies and techniques I teach can be done in your native DAW with all stock plug-ins.

I’m using 3rd party plug-ins from Waves but all the ideas and concepts are universal, your native plug-ins will work just fine.

Popular Music, Space & Place

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music, Space & Place PDF

Popular music scholars have long been interested in the connection between place and music. This collection brings together a number of key scholars in order to introduce readers to concepts and theories used to explore the relationships between place and music. An interdisciplinary volume, drawing from sociology, geography, ethnomusicology, media, cultural, and communication studies, this book covers a wide-range of topics germane to the production and consumption of place in popular music.

Through considerations of changes in technology and the mediascape that have shaped the experience of popular music (vinyl, iPods, social media), the role of social difference and how it shapes sociomusical encounters (queer spaces, gendered and racialised spaces), as well as the construction and representations of place (musical tourism, city branding, urban mythologies), this is an up-to-the-moment overview of central discussions about place and music. The contributors explore a range of contexts, moving from the studio to the stage, the city to the suburb, the bedroom to festival, from nightclub to museum, with each entry highlighting the diverse and complex ways in which music and place are mutually constitutive.
