This is because most elements within a musical recording will be comprised of various pitches or notes which fall within a set key & scale, by ensuring the song’s key & scale match these pitches, you can ensure all elements in the song will be harmonically compatible. Try experimenting, and also note which scales are used in other records within your chosen genre.īest Practice: If you are unsure of which key and scale to use then it would be wise practice to consider whether you are composing chords to match a vocal you intend to use, or any other pitched elements you may already have in your project. This is only a rule-of-thumb and as such there will be examples which do not follow this rule. Most electronic based records are composed in a minor scale Pop music on the other hand, tends to lean more toward the use of major scales. Tip: A major scale will sound bright and happy, whereas a minor scale will sound more somber or melancholic. If you already know what key & scale you will be composing in, then adjust the fields to your choice and select ‘GO’. When Captain Chords’ user interface opens you will be presented with options for setting the song ‘KEY’ and “SCALE’.

We created tutorial videos to give a deeper understanding of integrating Captain Plugins with Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Studio One Four and Pro Tools. Meanwhile, Pro Tools uses the AAX format.The same method works for FL Studio 20 and other supported DAWs, while Cubase and Studio One Four put their VST/AU plugin instruments into an ‘Instruments’ folder.If using Ableton Live, this can be done by clicking on the plugin devices tab within the main window and either double clicking on the Captain Chords plugin within the list, or dragging and dropping it onto a specific instrument track.
If using Logic Pro X as your DAW you should choose create ‘Software Instrument’ and select from the appropriate menu to create an instance of Captain Chords.As with all Captain Plugins, Captain Chords is an AU/VST/AAX* instrument plugin and as such should be opened in your DAW using the same method as any other 3rd party instrument plugin.
