Hey guys, it’s Fre3 Fly over here and today I am going to show you how the Circle of Fifths can help you in your productions. In this video you will learn how to “transform” a major key into a minor key (how to find the relative major of a minor scale or the relative minor of a major scale) and how to transpose your samples and vocals to fit with your music.

Let’s say that you made a nice track which is in the key of C Major and then you find a cool sample that is in the key of F minor and you want to put them together.

But how do you make them in the same key? Because one of them is a major key and the other is a minor key.

This principle can also be applied if you are working with vocals that are in a different key than your instrumental.

So…what you need to do first is to find the relative key for your initial key. A pair of major and minor scales sharing the same key signature are said to be in a relative relationship.

This basically means that they have the exact notes, just the first note is different. This is called the “tonic”.

In order to find the relative key for any key, you can simply use The Circle of Fifths. It’s very simple to read it…for example the relative of C Major is A minor, the relative of D Major is B minor, the relative of C minor is Eb Major and so on.

Back to our example, the relative of C Major is A minor. So we know that our song has the exact same notes found in the A minor key. Now we want to transpose the sample that is in F minor to A minor.

For this, let’s have a look at the piano keyboard. The distance in semitones from F to A is: one, two, three, four semitones. So you go to the sample and you transpose it 4 semitones.

And now they fit perfectly!

Now, let’s take another random example. Let’s say that your song is in the key of D minor and you want to add a sample that is in the key of B major.

We look at the circle of fifths and see that the major relative of D minor is F Major. So now we want to go from F Major to B Major. The distance from F to B is 6 semitones. So you transpose your sample or vocal plus 6 semitones.

You can also go in the opposite direction, and transpose your sample minus 6 semitones. It will still be in key. Since there are 12 unique notes on the keyboard, you can always go up for an amount of semitones, or substract that number from 12 and go down on the keyboard.

For example, you can go 4 semitones up or 8 semitones down and you will land on the same note. You can go 7 semitones up or 5 semitones down. The idea is that the sum should be 12.

So, I hope that his video was useful. Now do what PewDiePie says and watch another one! :)
