I have a quick question

I don't produce, but I was wondering if the 'effect' in the following sample has a specific name.


Right Click Save As Please


On the 65th beat, approx 28 seconds in, the melody suddenly takes a really distinctive and sudden change. Is there a correct producing term for such a change?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't think it has a name really.
If you listen to it closely you'll hear that the melody doesn't actually change at all - it's only the bass that changes the note.

I may be wrong but I think its called a phrase transition... :conf:

always wanted to know how to do that kind of bass key changes correctly but music theory is being a pain in the ass :nervous:

noticed m.i.k.e. uses this trick a few times in his tracks (ex: exposure - magic impuls), it has 'blown up' after the buildup but sounds repetitive, then he enters the new bass and sounds great

Yeh, thats the bass that changes key.

Nothing special though.


When the kick drum changes key correctly, that sounds awesome.

Yup, that's a chord change. Happens in almost every trance song I know.

One reason why it sounds so good is the tendency to hammer on just one chord for the first few minutes of the song - building up heaps of tension - which is then released at the chord change. That's when it sounds really lush.

I don't really see why it would be difficult to do - first you need to have a synth and a bass in the same key. Then you keep the synth in the same key but change the bass 1-2 notes higher or lower.
If it sounds off try a different note.

And you're done.
