My fav is the pro one. The God one is way too complex, because the chords are kinda confusing to me.

[@squids24]

[@whattonamemyself1185]

honestly i think the base melody for the pro one is just better

[@jonathanridinger2208]

I think it depends on the style ... Pro one goes perfect with a more repetitive style like Slap House or Brazilian Bass... The God one definitely fits a more complex one like Electro Swing or Melodic Dubstep I would say

[@rubixdium7120]

Knowing complexity is important, since it opens up new combinations, but I think the godly part comes from knowing how to fit things well together and deliver that load to strike through someone's heart.

[@ieatnoodls]

As you mentioned in the video, more complex melodies aren't necessarily better. The best melodies are kind of simple but unexpected. Better criteria for a good melody would maybe include catchiness, rememberability, ability to sing along, balance of expectation and surprise, how the melody changes between sections, works together with other elements and other rythms or melodies of the song .... Or just introducing a few more musical concepts. I think there is a lot to a good meodie and just thinking about the basic music theory doesn't do the subject justice, of course all of that is way beyond what you can cover in an 8 minute video

[@Memphy]

I agree it's much more to it than shown in this video. Regarding your criteria, I just thought criteria such as catchiness & rememberability were too subjective. Your other criteria do make sense though. The reason I progressed the levels with complexity was because it's easy to see and hear objectively that it gets more advance. Even though of course, each level doesn't necessarily get catchier or sound better, but that's to each their own.

[@TsukiWave]

Yes! Just keep it simple!

[@hotel_arcadia]

Songs with the best rhythms and melodies have over a billion views on KZbin, but do you think 1.7 billion unique people listened to Linkin Park's Numb? In reality, only as far as 100 million unique people saw the video, but the replayability and memorability of the song kept them coming back - so multiple 100 million by 10, and that's how it got so many views. Of course, this is not meant to suggest that everybody listened to it exactly 10 times; mileage will vary. But that's how a great melody is made - because people can remember it. When you ask a friend to rate one of your songs, don't ask them if they like it. They'll obviously say yes (especially if they're not musicians). Ask what they remember the most listening to it.

[@cubism_2]

I finally know the proper order. Chords, bass, then melody. It’s always been unclear which one I should do first. I am a beginner, so thanks for this video

[@displayclayton3407]

Layout a chord progression first, as a beginner it's probably best to stick with simple chords, like triads, diminished, or 7ths, rather than the more complex ones, 9ths, sus2, sus4, 11ths, diminished 7ths, augmented 7ths. Then you can either do bass or melody first, but melody is usually better to create first. Making a melody is pretty much just experimenting, but as a beginner you can just use the notes from the chords like in the video, (but that can get old fast).

[@externity9569]

Good video showing the levels of experience tiers. Although it can be argued that none of the samples are garbage, not even the "noob" one. It just takes the right application of it to make it golden. Honestly with each progression from noob to god you made, things just kept changing so drastically, each level was saying a different emotion altogether. Like you don't know what you want to go for. The noob one was somber and calm, the pro one was like a modern hype, cowboy saloon and God one was like some anime emotional bit. They didn't even relate the same stories musically. While music theory does separate noobs from pros alone, just from an understanding level. Ear training is another story that noobs with no theory knowledge can be naturally better at than a trained musician writing complex pieces that just have zero true emotion to it or sense of originality. It really boils down to how good you are at creating a certain emotion with a certain sound. Whether you're writing a full story or just one page of a singular raw emotion, so to say. Know what you're trying to make first on an emotional sense before letting your ear pick out what it thinks will sound cool with what. You just won't be creative if your not in the emotional proper space in the first place and your brain is doing the work instead.

well this video turned out more useful than any of the youtube videos ive watched trying to make a melody.

[@jaredbobier2844]

The number one thing when writing or arranging parts like this to remember is "can this instrument actually play this". For example, if you have more than 10 notes going on with a piano, or if they are spanning more than 2-3 octaves, it won't sound real because its literally impossible to play that on the actual instrument. If the god level was split up between multiple instruments it might sound ok, but having it just be a piano is why it sounds so awkward.

@@grantcanty7294 it is supposed to feel a bit "strange", to spice things up. I believe it's taking the melody into the relative minor scale or something like that.

[@heavydevy-c5630]

Normally if you're using 7 chords man you want to take advantage of that leading tone which is the 7 note. You can't just slap chords onto it. It has to harmonize, thinking of the root and what mode you want your phrase to be in. Also the chords in the beginning was just kind of too short. The counter melody could've filled that in a little bit more. However mixed in with the electronic synths it sounded slightly better. I would've however, used different sounding synths though because a part doesn't always sound good on one instrument but can sound good on another. It also may feel a bit unnatural because keep in mind about phrasing, space, and transition runs. Needs to flow, and float better. learning a woodwind instrument or how to compose for one can normally help with that. It's a little too short for god level. But that was a nice try with god level. I'd just thought I'd clear that up because complex melodies can sound great and I can see this working if it had more time spent on it.

[@tauntos]

Tl;dr Music theory is a descriptive practice, not a prescriptive one. True, for western functional harmony, and maybe just as so for this specific video's style of music. The music theory that is widely known and taught in music schools is for common practice period music -- Even just staying in English culture there is different theories/analysis/systems for the idea of music, some Jazz, rock, blues, metal; to post-tonal theory with schenkerian analysis, transformational theory, set theory (music), microtonality, xenharmony, to name a few if you would like to research more into it. And that's not even touching other cultures of Mongolian, Middle Eastern, Bulgarian, Indian, to which I know nothing about myself. Just remember that music is just… art. You can really do whatever you want, i.e. if it sounds good then it sounds good. Quote from Harry Partch (?): Music, "good" or not "good," has only two ingredients that might be called God-given: the capacity of a body to vibrate and produce sound and the mechanism of the human ear that registers it. These two ingredients can be studied and analyzed, but they cannot be changed; they are the comparative constants. All else in the art of music, which may also be studied and analyzed, was created by man or is implicit in human acts and is therefore subject to the fiercest scrutiny, and ultimately to approval, indifference, or contempt. In other words, all else is subject to change.

[@heavydevy-c5630]

@@tauntos Oh yeah I know this. My music teacher taught me that there are no rules in music. There's no formula. Music theory is just there to help you, not tell you what to do.

As you mentioned in th video, there are complex melodies that arent necessarily needed to be on the song, or idk maybe some. There are certain parts of the songs u make that sets up the mood, for example being from happy to sad, to creepy type. There are some variations with the melodies. When i was listening to music producers before the mistake they always do is that, complex melody doesn't mean a good outcome of sound. It can be overwhelming to the song. Take cooking for example, you wanted to make it sour, but putting too much on it doesen't automatically makes it "cooler, or better". Dont take my word for it, as if I know everything about music, no I am not. I too keep on studying on blending, the melody, the music properly. Any key aspects of the song, I research, experiment and compare the two things i made and find feedback to both my what i leared, what the professionals say, and what i think.

[@riffmason]

Whilst this is a useful instructive video for teaching complete beginners how to make their melodies more interesting, the level demonstrated at 'God level' is still very simplistic. If you're basing writing melody around the idea that the initial melodic phrase will only be one bar and that you're going to just do subsequent one bar variations of that initial phrase for each subsequent bar over four bars without further exploring how to develop compelling melodic ideas in the first place your music will be, to be completely blunt, pretty generic sounding. Whilst this is could be a useful starting point for complete beginners to get started I don't know how good it is to teach beginners the idea that writing good melodies is as rigid and formulaic as this when it's not. It actually can be much more creative, fun and rewarding.

[@riffmason]

Honestly Chop, I was pretty fair to this video in my original post. Even as a starting point for a beginner this still gets beginners off to a bad start because instead of teaching them this, you could instead teach them some very basic ideas about rhythm and cadence and that would put them in a far better position to write enjoyable and unique music from the very beginning. On the contrary, this video doesn't really show a beginner how to compose music as such, it just shows them how to compose the same one song over and over again in a way that has already been done a million times before. Just because someone's a beginner, that's no reason for why they should be seeking to write identikit and uninteresting music from the beginning. Generally, you don't learn how to write enjoyable and unique music by learning how to write cookie cutter music first, you learn how to write enjoyable and unique music by learning about it bit by bit and composing as you go along.

[@LillyAnneMeadows]

@@riffmason I'm not particularly advanced but I have made a small handful of good tracks, have like 2 years of production experience and 6 of DJing. It gave me a different perspective on melody writing, because that pro one sounds pretty darn good while still just being a one-bar melody with some variation attached to it. I usually find that I go too complex a lot of the time, it can definitely be good to keep it simple and formulaic, especially if you want to go for something catchy.

[@riffmason]

@@LillyAnneMeadows Hi, I only took issue with simplicity in the context that this video was advertising the composition in the video as being 'God level' composition as if it was somehow expert composition writing which I thought was misleading. Really my problem isn't simplicity but the issue of being formulaic which I did then discuss. As good as you might think the pro example sounds (which I don't being completely honest), it is a problem for producers to make music this formulaic because the issue they will then have is that their music just isn't going to stand out and is going to sound boring and generic. If a producer makes a song so formulaic that it sounds exactly like other songs that have been done by other producers over and over again already, then why even bother listening to that producer when I could just listen to plenty of other producers instead?

Taking the base of everything away, listening to the overall sound link like strings with subtle hooks. Like the sound is complex regardless of how 'generic' it is. And you do realise you sound like you have like the biggest ego Like you think you are super smart for knowing some music stuff lmao - not trying to be provocative but damn dude. And like for the last comment you sent, like yeah you're not wrong, but its taught with a generalized meaning. Like its not to teach what to do for your entire melody, its advice and tips let alone not the point of the video, but he decided to add tips and advice because hes a GC. Not 'do this 4 times, copy paste use for everything song complete' I never got the rigid and formulaic feeling because creativity isn't meant to be constricted with those types of things, but its a very good generalized base to start from. You have seen this too much from a literal and specific view point. Like you expected to see more complexity of a type that you know, rather than in a way you might not think, your too literal and wrong in many ways as you are right. He was being general and you took it literally, like dude. You're quite tunnel visioned thought wise, I do hope you come to work through that - truly.

2:22 hey what did you do when you "added some swing"? I'm new to making music and was wondering how you got the piano to sound like that.

My favorite is Level 2. Its clear and not too complex. Sometimes: Keep it simple!

Feels like watching some KZbin tutorial with copyright free music in the background ngl 🤣. Good work 👍

[@leonadrian7257]

I really like the pro one. The God one seems forced, to me; it feels like there is too much...sounds messy. Pro is where it is at.

Un consejo que siempre les daré que me dio uno de los mejores profesores que he tenido en la vida es que en la industria musical lo que más importa es hacer que las cosas parezcan fáciles pero que desde su trasfondo posea complejidad. me explico, Hans Zimmer era consiente de la simplicidad de sus obras pero el contexto dado era más que perfecto y eso es lo que verdadera mente importa, siempre habrán dioses musicales en términos de armonización, ritmo, melodía etc, pero la música es para momentos, contextos y gustos. Comprar el arte de manera objetiva no tiene ningun sentido.

first two are real dope, made me smile, happy to sub for more of this

"Calling" from ingrosso and alesso showed us, simplicity is awesome

[@blau6832]

A good melody stands on it's own. It incorporates rhythm and harmony all by itself.

[@hylsvik6256]

The pro melody is catchy asf!!

[@sheepgrenade6193]

Great video, they all sounded great though. When producing for people I find it's pretty common that i try make it as complicated as possible. Despite how the better results are found through simplicity, at least when structuring a track.

[@chair1694]

They all sound pretty good 👍

the real god is the person who can make an ultra noob melody to god level with his/her skills just like martin garrix and avicii

God level is literally Roblox tycoon music
