MORE CHORD PROGRESSIONS EXPLORED

Trey Songz “Can’t Be Friends” video comedy parody was a fun way to explore the use of chord progressions in a song. We’ve been discussing chords, the cycle of fifths and music theory as a whole for the past year and this new realization has had a significant impact on our music. In this new tutorial beat making video we listen intently to Trey Songz “Can’t Be Friends” paying close attention to the chords and progressions used, what key the producer was in and what made those piano chords so solemn, sad, but yet beautiful. This new Youtube mini-sode is a new variety show produced to entertain, educate and inspire. It’s the first episode of many to be uploaded to the youtube community for entertainment and educational purposes.

Trey Songz has re-emerged and has elevated his status to the levels of R. Kelly, Chris Brown and many others. His new Mario Winans produced track “Can’t Be Friends” from his new release debut “Passion, Pain & Pleasure” has hit the airwaves, internet and Youtube community by storm. We often include in our Beat Making Tutorials some current new artist production work so as to case study the music, so it can help us to discern whats hot and how to stay current and relevant in today’s music industry. Trey Songz Cant Be Friends parody was a perfect way to teach through entertainment form to take the edge off of strained teaching. Software used in this Hip Hop beat session was Reason 5 Propellerhead Kong Drum Designer, Blocks, Akai MPK49 MPC style sampler. And Neptune Pitch adjustment was used for 1 minor off note. We hope you all enjoy this new Trey Songz Can’t be Friends parody, hope you all subscibe to our channel, and look forward to seeing you in our new beat making instrumental episodes here at TodaysbeatsTV.

Reason 5 – Kong Drum Designer

In one word. Absolutely AWESOME!!!! Oh, was that 2? Well anyway the Reason 5 – Kong Drum Designer is the reason I will be living. In my opinion The Reason drum machine systems is the very reason I left my akai mpc series drum machines behind to grow dust. The Redrum was the reason I was able to walk away and not feel any regret in leaving it behind. All I carried along with me was my 5 kit industry standard drum samples and I was good to go. In particular I liked the fact that Redrum allowed me to do various things such as “swing” “quantize” attack, gate, tweak, pitch, filter so on and so forth. So bottom line is I have a lot of trust in Propellerheads ability to recreate that emotional attachment I had and loved in my MPC. It’s like trading Ciara for Beyonce, or vice versa, they are both good and they both will do the job for me so no love lost.
Anyway the features that’s briefly covered in the Propellerhead Reason 5 – Kong Drum Designer send chills down my hip hop production beatmaking fleshly desires. They will seem to quench my thirst for true drum sound design. If you know me, and I’m sure you do or you certainly will, I love to tweak those drum samples man. This is the sole Reason I was able to walk away so easily.

Well word has it the Reason 5 – Kong Drum Designer has 16 cool pads, 1 sound per pad, 4 analog synthesizer drum generators, 3 modeling drum generators, sampler, Rex loop player, and it even looks beautiful. Analog kick, snare tom and hi hat? Then there’s a sampler with multi layering capabilities, this puppy has all the dreams of a modeling guru like myself and many other prolific producers in the game. Not to mention sound effects and etc.

I will be getting mine and tutorials will be flourishing, so keep up with it Fam. Keep checking back, I will be keeping you posted on this madness with the Reason 5 Kong Drum Designer.
