[@MelloDeeBeats]

One thing I forgot to mention, don't be afraid to hit the same note multiple times in a row in your melody.

[@shugakid360]

Bro like u re just too amazing 💯❤

[@deepmedia4723]

Great content maaan.I had no idea about chords and all..but u gave me some light.can't play the keyboard but I can now draw in the DAW with lil hassle

[@MelloDeeBeats]

I had piano classes and I played saxophone, both in school. I knew about chords but I learned about chord progressions much much later than that and realized they were the building blocks of most harmony. It's really a game changer for producers who aren't aware. But Thanks for watching

[@switterbeet]

Man i love your tutorials they literally the best i ever found on youtube and they are soo helpfull! Even as someone that already knows most of music theory i need all those videos to get an overview how all this stuff works! Thanks a lot

Appreciate you!

[@HirakoShinji8314]

Thank you

[@john9908]

Is there anyway you can explain the melody more? This is by far the best tutorial I have come across and was hoping you went deeper. I see producers making melodys without making chords. So essentially a melody is basically a chord mostly with passing notes? Do you have any videos that would help me out with this or could you make something helping me. This is where I have been stuck for such a long time.

[@MelloDeeBeats]

Go to my channel, scroll to the bottom. You'll see the melody basics playlist. It's got like 5 parts and this is apart of it. I go in depth on every aspect of melodies that are necessary. There are videos in there about what you asked, I may have a couple on how to turn chords into melodies but when I get back to doing tutorials, I'm gonna be breaking it down heavy. Most of the melodies won't be sustaining chords.

[@john9908]

@@MelloDeeBeats cool cool I'll check it out. Thanks dude. I should probably practice songs a little bit like learning some to understsnd melody a bit more. Most of it has been tinkering around and watching videos.

[@MontrealCaffee-zf8vr]

question....you see how your notes are? i have fl studio also and my notes have lines inside of them how do i make them go away so there will be just a note..

[@MelloDeeBeats]

I don't get what you mean because the notes on my screen have lines in them. What lines are you talking about?

[@iam_myster_e]

That’s the velocity you want that shown

[@bencawood]

Does it clash with the 808 lower notes c5 and lower?

[@scalemuzikt.v7096]

How do you pick the bass notes for the melody?

[@MelloDeeBeats]

For this, I just picked what sounded good. But if you want to know more about picking the bass notes, watch this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfWgZSXfpqBhMU

[@MelloDeeBeats]

where you get stuck at?

[@stefhan8013]

big tips

[@gsmith11172]

how does this translate when you don't have FL

[@MelloDeeBeats]

It’s universal, it translates regardless of what you use. A triad is 3 notes on a piano, on a synth board, in FL, in Ableton, in sheet music, on a guitar, etc. The top note of a chord is the top note of a chord, regardless what you use to play it. But based on the last MPC comment, I kinda get what you mean so these are my recommendations. 1. If you don’t use a midi keyboard, consider getting one but learn how to identify which notes are which on an MPC if you’re playing a multi pitch one shot instrument 2. Start with learning scales. If you go to my music theory playlist on my channel, it’s the first vid and I made it before I made scale helpers. I break down the scale formulas. Memorize them by playing them. Once you have those 2 things handled a little bit, then this will be applicable in whatever program or equipment you use to make music
