Sorry but it sounds a bit random. Try remaking melodies first then making your own. It should help you understand how to structure melodies and what notes sound good next to each other.

What The Void said, it gives you a lot of help... and I think your lead is too basic and needs a lot of work also.

The melody is out of tune and the lead's sound is very bad

Oh I've never thought of remaking melodies, I'm definitely going to try this.

Thanks to both of you.

The melody definitely is a bit random, but it's okay! When I started producing my melodies were completely awful. :p
Check out this wiki article on scales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(music)
The point of scales is to teach you what sequence of notes sound good together.
And for making leads try purchasing Sylenth1 and then check out the ol' YouTube for videos like the one i posted below.

I'd suggest you to read books about music theory. I've read a lot of books about theory and they give you very prefessional knowledge about this problem like what is scale how do you use it and also what is chord progression, the most useful chord progressions what are major/minor chords and also these deminished (or something like that I don't actually know how to spell it in English). And in hardstyle commonly used is Aeolian scale but Wildstylez sometimes use others. But theory won't teach you creativity, because making melodys is all about this! Theory only can turn your creativity into logical and harmonic melody :)

I guess this is what I will do, thanks to you.
