    producers and topliners really deserve more attention. they are also artists

    Top lining to an arrangement/track has been a norm in hip hop, r&b and pop music for years. It’s actually the most popular way of working. Track first is a standard. Even though song first is very efficient too. I feel it’s good for a producer to know how to work both ways. Be versatile and open for change.

    My first card out of "Courage over Comfort" deck (From BestSelf Co) was to "Sign up for a toplining class!". I could not find one, but i found this video and will do it as something completely new. Thank you!

    Amazing information, thank you.
    There's only 1 thing I disagree with. You said that if someone else can sing it better than yourself, then make them sing it... In my experience, I had so many songs laying on the shelf only because I was waiting for my friend or whoever it was, to come in and sing it. So in my experience, if you have someone reliable, then you're right, but if not, then start training your vocals everyday. There's plenty of really good vocal coaches on CZcams that can teach it to you, and if you're consistent, then you don't need nobody!

    How we start getting our service out. Any good sites like producers have for songwriters to make money. No one tells us this!! You are awesome by the way!!!!!!! Loving the channel.

    • @Song101uk

      Hey Derione, some sites you might want to check out are: SongLink, Taxi, Syncr, Bandit, Music Gateway.
      Making money from writing is a long journey, but certainly not impossible. Send your stuff to people who are specifically asking for your style of music... Unsolicited material never gets listened to.
      Thanks for your support 👍

    When I play a progression on the piano I tend to create a melody that falls exactly on the rhtym of my prgoression. Is there any excersise to get that independ from each other

  • @carmencatalina9086
    @carmencatalina9086 Před 3 lety +1

    Can you go over melody more? I am struggling understanding it. So we got lyrics so the melody is how we sing those lyrics?

    Once I get my Topline... how do you guys transcribe it into a Music Sheet in order to Register my song. I have tried to use melodyne, newtone and others to put my voice into MIDI and then from there transform the MIDI into a music sheet, but melodyne and newtone does not translate my voice sound exactly into MIDI.... so how do you guys do? im confused. xx thanks xx

    • @Song101uk
      @Song101uk  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Miguel, I would recommend manually transcribing using sibelius. Yes it takes longer at first, but once you learn the software you can actually get a spot on transcription in very little time.
      Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that's what I'd recommend.
