Learning to play chords for R&B is one thing, however the even without a singer it is always a good ideas to place some melody type riffs into your production. This not only makes the track sound more lively, but it also add inspiration for possible vocalists or other musicians. Melodies can always be adjusted later on. The melody I am showing you here is a very simple piano based melody. We start off by playing a minor 9th. In this example I am playing a Dmin9 which happens to be chord number 2 in the C Major scale. The melody line is a simple 2 step walk backwards from Dmin9 to Dmin7 so ..read more

UR 242 – Loopback issue
Soulful Keys Blog

I decided to purchase a new mixer. My current audio interface UR242 actually already has multiple inputs for both my keyboards, however here is the issue. When streaming audio or recording live to an external source e.g. video recording / editing software. That software cannot normally “hear” sound coming from the audio. The way around this is to use the “Loopback function”. This is fine however the loopback function uses ports 1 and 2. Now I use input ports 1 and 2 on the UR242 for the Krome, so if I want to record a track on the Krome keyboard and record Live in some video software it is goi ..read more

Here is the download for the short tutorial from YouTube. Basically I just added a swing factory to the hit hats to give it more life. Secondly I am able to get more of a smoother Bassline but using the 11th key as the root for the Bass. Note that the 11th works best with minor chords. For major chords use the 9th as the Bass. Note that this may not work all the time. It really depends is there are any key changes are not. Better to experiment.
