Sup yawl, I'm back with more chord questions, lol. All who helped before, thanks!! I want to know if any of you producers out there can help me these 3 chord questions. I have 3 questions; answer the ones that apply.

(1.) I have a chord chart, but Im not good at playing the chords on my Triton. I have Cakewalk Pro Audio, Nuendo, Cool Edit 2.0, and Fruity Loops 3.5; if you know any shortcuts to recording chords into any of these software titles, or any others I might not have; please let me know.

(2) Second off; does anybody know any good chord progressions for rap/r&b songs? And also, how(and when) they should be played in the song (if you know). Thanks yawl, sorry for posting twice!

(3) I just learned about scales and how they work with chords, I also have melodies in my head. Does any one know of an easier way to get these melodies in my head to music, easier? Sounds dumb, but hey; LOL
 
It's admirable to want to make music, and it's understandable that you would prefer to just jump into making music without having to study anything about music itself. But your music will ultimately be of a much higher quality and more creative if you would be willing to take the time and study the basics.

If you were really good at writing hip-hop rhymes, and somebody came up to you and asked (in some other language): "I'd really like to write hip-hop verses, but I don't speak English at all. Isn't there just some formula I can use?"

The point is, even if there were such a formula, it would ultimately sound like a formula. There's no substitute for learning the basics.

Good luck!
 
Use CAL - Cakewalk Application Language - in CWPA or Sonar. It will let you plonk one note into either the staff view or the piano roll and then use CAL to turn it into any chord of your choice.

But as stated before, learn how to play it properly and you will make yourself a very happy person. There is no faster way to create music than actually being able to play well.

Good luck,

Q.
