Project: one or more Melodies per day for a month

Post by Starkast »

I'm starting a new monthly project even tho it's an small one.

Goal: One or more Melodies per day for an month 27th October -> 27th november

Hopes: To learn and get feedback on my melodies and hopes that maybe i inspire some people :)

I will not add an kick everyday since i think i pretty much suck at pitching it 'n shit :)

Thoughts about project? :)

Thanks for reading!

Okay, I'll try to help you a bit, have you seen my tutorial on melodies? :) Unfortunately one of the screenshots is down, I'll see if I can get that one up in the near future.

The first melody sounds kind of random, but the (sorry to say, but reaaaaly bad) mixdown doesn't really make it easy to judge the melody itself. If you really want your melody only to be judged, just play it with a simple Nexus synth or smth, so other things wont distract us :)

Also, if you pitch your kick, be sure to pitch the tail only, not the tok as well ;)

just Saying if u build a Melody Start With Chords and than build a melody out of that.
way easier method, or relax ur brain close ur eyes imagine a melody and than after some minutes build it.

Imagine building a guitar and then tuning it and then playing it. That's what electronic music is.

does this really sound good to you ???
Its actually a whole mess.
better go and look how a melody of a pro is structured and What Notes are there, (analyze it).
and than go make your own again.
and better instead of posting everyday u could just Update ur First Post and make it like that.
Day1:.....
Day2:.....
Day3:.....

Not a bad idea. :)

Just remember that most professional melodies aren't made in only one day.
