[@playsthetics]

I only ever nailed a melody once in my life. Met her in university.

[@CoganMusic]

LMAO

[@joshuadillon5348]

😂😂 haha my guy!!! Absolute legend!!!

[@camcarl22]

😂😂😂

[@kevharfmann]

Fucking Legend

[@HiEnergyMusic]

Did you also repeat her four times and finally close her on bar 4?

[@kitwheston]

I watched 6 of your vids and my music is breaking mathematics now.

[@beatsxlucas8021]

😂😂😂

[@AlexRome]

Haha

[@PaulShattter]

Not in stocks but technically yes.

[@perfectpitch2506]

Tip : try to keep the melody on the notes of chord for like 70-80% of time and try passing notes for a bit change .

[@Philomenamalin]

Sup pitch

[@robber9577]

I guess this helped me more than the whole vid lol

[@fredeatstheworld308]

yeah that is better advice this vid is more entry level stuff. not how you get interessting melodies and lead lines.

[@christhescientist]

This was a very helpful comment

[@Snarkapotamus]

Chord tones alone get kind of boring. It's the notes between that add the flavor!

[@kelsey9661]

This was actually incredibly useful and well thought out.

[@rikocapeleiro]

Thanks for that Alex! Every single video of yours is very very useful for any level producer!! Big love from Brazil ♥️

[@RobSheeley]

[@stulara1260]

[@Nathanator]

[@leekeegan1560]

[@Yungs1x]

Definitely appreciate this video.

[@sahr94]

Thanks Alex !

[@officialmaar]

Always great content

[@josevitorcalfa2]

I come from Rock, Blues and Jazz background. I got interested in electronic lately, particularly Synthwave and Chiptune Rock, and I have to say that I have the polar opposite problem: I have the tendency to do very complexes melodies all the time. Someone looks the other way around, and I just appear with a 3-minute keyboard solo or something. Fact is, simplicity and silence are part of the music too, and that is something I'm particularly trying to add in my more recent songs.

[@HeyItsUSM4N]

Hi Alex! This method def paid off MORE THAN 20%. Getting closer to those release worthy tracks! Thanks again! #20percentgang 🔥🔥🔥

[@jfm3265]

🤘

[@abdullahaldejani4909]

Guys I’ll save you a lot of time and effort! Plain and simple if you have an ear for music production then u’ll know exactly where the next note should be cuz you have it playing in ur head and u’ll realize right away if there’s an off note from the sound of it! You just need to learn how to use a decent DAW! That’s in terms of making melodies but all the other technical stuff yeah a teacher like Alex would definitely benefit you!

[@patdurkin2095]

I feel set up for success

[@xnervemusic]

200% on this one

[@djdazza2796]

Ive increased 20% in every way!!!!!!

[@Hash-vo1hi]

Hi Alex, is that saw pad a preset? If not how did you make it? Thank you

[@PaulShattter]

What is your intro song? It's so good!

[@ramsterrambo]

Hello Alex! how do you record audio while mixing?
