The Easy Guide To Making Hard Melodies!

[@jmccouture3866]

I am a blind producer. I’ve been doing music for two years now. I am struggling with melodies and sometimes the drums.. you and other producers inspire me so much. I am learning every day. The beats that you do are so cool.

[@yna418]

thats so cool bro keep going! also not to be disrespectful but howd u type this?

[@vxdro]

@@yna418 yeah I was bout to ask that same thing

[@vecrisv]

@@yna418 A friend of mine is blind, she types with the speech-to-text keyboard, maybe he uses something similar

[@jmccouture3866]

Always struggled with the melodies. Hope this vid helped everyone🤞✌️

Thanks man! 💚

@@jmccouture3866 been almost 2 years. Proud of the process and I appreciate your gratitude. U got a decent channel . Keep it up👍

half time is like momma, it makes everything better. ❤️

[@ivanazaroffmusic]

I’d love it if you did a tutorial on sound selection, it’s one of the things that I have the hardest time with on beats. I’d love to hear your tips!

[@MrJayceproductions]

What sounds good to your ears? It's that simple... Once you have something that sounds good.. Then polish it with the eq when mixing...

[@seeni4647]

just decide on what vibe ur going for then pick instruments that can kind of fit into the other sounds you already have. like if i was making a rage beat and I had a lot of long tone synths (i.e. a lead), maybe for a counter melody I'd have a pluck

[@seeni4647]

but u wanna also make sure your counter melody has a sound that slides with the main melody/chords, like for my guitar drill beats I like to use an acoustic to make guitar chords and a smoother electric for the melody

[@elektribebeatz]

Thank you Jay for another tutorial. This beat is incredible. Love how you've gone into every detail from start to finish in under 15 minutes. Looking forward to the next episode. Peace.

Insane Beat .He Always Makes It Seem Like its Easy

[@steveobeats8211]

One of the best tutorials I've ever watched

[@Ollegy]

That's sick Bro, love seeing those Bangers from the scratch. Greetings from Hamburg Germany 💪

[@NerdAlert66]

i was writing and rapping when i first started my music career been doing it for about 8 years on and off, but i enjoy the technicalities behind the music not just my writing, so iv been starting to produce the last year and damn its crazy the amount of different shit you can create with Fl studio

[@13abalewedits]

One Of Your Best Yet Jay!!! its cold, got a nice bounce

[@Drosongz]

Sheesh looking arround to improve my melodys skills .. and i found this just 10 min droped

[@JayCactusTV]

Glad it helped man

[@Jime0326]

Great video, teacher, and producer. Thank you. Peace and blessings to you and your family.

[@nohmade6569]

Gotta say I appreciate the time u take to go over every bit of the beat when making these tutorials, especially stuff other guys like to leave out.

[@DannyGouchi]

Depending on the genre is how you start, I will never start with drums when making melodic music but if I’m making breakbeat then I start with drums, there are no rules to how you start, what ever gives you inspiration that’s how you start.

[@kumachannel4789]

Don't give up mate, that was my first day to use soft soft and i will work on it for a long ti!

[@mattemere8021]

I can never stopped watching you mr. Jay. I love ur beats. The are always 🔥🔥🔥

[@doncoded2254]

thanks man Always fall in love with ur tutorials... love the 808 slide at the intro

[@_maizon]

You’re such an inspiration bro

[@HipsterTactical]

This was awesome. More or less how I approach beats--starting with some sort of an arpeggio sort of establishes the parameters for synth, chords progressions, etc. Really nice work on the drums. Simple, but they hit.

[@wise0066]

Please make another video on the Chicago drill

[@hollowtip112]

shits hard af bro, learning a lot watching all your tutorials. keep it up my dude!

[@johndav_iD]

Try using Alt+Shift next time you're stretching the melody so it doesn't go off grid 💪

[@Prod.Roanbeats]

thank you for making these tutorials man, always bringing the quality.

[@xlmightbeatz]

no cap g u killed that beat

[@JayCactusTV]

🙏Thanks man

[@medinitaly5927]

[@grimemank42]

I started with chords today and it came out fire lol , but yeah for trap it’s best to start with melody

[@LucidLyles]

[@t1mvn]

[@ebenezeradejolu2582]

Bounce is fire bro

[@rafa19912]

This sick man. I download your tutorials for backup just incase there's a Zombie Apocalypse and I'm locked indoors with no KZbin no electricity.

[@xMaSSxHyST3RiA]

Wow that's really close to my usual process the way you did that. I'm just not that good at it yet like you. Great beat once again G!! 🔥🔥👌👌🧨🧨⚡⚡

[@mikenugget2963]

[@themassacre9062]

Drums crazy 🔥. You should do a video where you collab with a lucky subscriber on a beat

[@juliusk44]

Love these tutorial vids I always learn something from them that I really need🙌🏼 Thx Jay🔥🌵

[@MacTowlie]

good to see your skills on something other than drill cheers bro

[@beatsbykyle6515]

My favourite vegetable is asparagus or tomatoes - Keep up the good work bro!

[@scarface4_461]

It just kept getting better and better ❤️‍🔥🔥💔🔥👊🏽

[@dabride_jael1926]

@Jay Cactus TV Your video is super easy to understand N the beat is of the meat rack.. I started with digital but I prefer standalone..now i use the mpc live professional.. I think this is extremely informative for either one.. not everyone has the ability to influence everyone but I think you did that fam👊🏾 Nice job! Ima definitely have to check out your other videos.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@edu_xy]

This is hard! 🔥🔥

[@raynoldsvocaldo4244]

So helpful 100%...this is hard bro....RESPECT!!

[@DETERMINOLOGY]

Solid. This is why i would say practice and ear train and learn music theory. Alot of people really dont care on the music theory part and mostly quick to get to the bag more just to make a beat more so then practice When i heard the first melody i knew what key / Notes being used but that comes from ear training. And with the guessing around until you get something, You wanna just know when i click in or play something i know exactly what im hitting but again i practice. Good way to practice as well open a new fl studio and make 5 -10 melodies that your hearing in your head at first you might struggle but you will get faster at it and less mistakes. Then you will be able to jot down a idea without thought you will know the notes/key along with ear training

[@kajetanterlecki4411]

Cool work

[@thaddeussimmons6127]

Try setting your time mode to stretch when using your one shots I believe it allows thr sound to play at the same speed, even when you pitch or raise & lower octaves....

[@blacksheep7823]

Bro we love you're trap beats! Come up with more ! J 🏜️

[@JayCactusTV]

Got you!

[@roooooin]

I’ve been binging a lot of your videos the past 2 days to try and learn how to make Melodies in FL and I must say that I like your way of explaining very much! Thanks for that. But I keep struggling a bit with how to lay down the chords in piano roll, seeing where I previously had notes played and especially how to start building up in the channel rack like I see you do it. Do you have a tutorial on that for the absolute beginner like myself, that kind of walks me along that holding my hand like I’m 5 years old? 😂

[@teddyslydar9754]

Thank you, it works perfect!

[@jjbing3]

Finally. Someone who doesn’t start with chords 💪🏾

[@dancovers2001]

[@negative2783]
