This is the only tip you need: if it sounds good, it is good. There have been plenty of pros who’ve used simple midi patterns before. It doesn’t matter how complex it looks; it matters how good it sounds.

But knowing some basic theory etc. helps you achieve that good sound faster. Ill much rather do a good sounding melody in minutes than spend an hour trying to figure out a good melody. If you know the theory behind good melodies, you can make them much easier/faster.

@@eriklucasmusic Whose talking about complexity anyway? Neither does simple equate to something sounding good. Ill rather learn how to make more complex melodies, since i have way more options with complex melodies than i do with simple melodies.

@@Ex0rz also, I’m not advocating for simplicity. I’m warning against over-complexity. Furthermore, the thumbnail in this video suggest that it’s ‘beginner’ and less advanced to use simple midi patterns, which just isn’t the case.

3:47 if major chord is 1+4+7, why it is 1+3+6 here? Bc we have selected C major scale on the side menu?

By using an F#, you just make the root key a G major. Which is the root chord of those playing in the background.

These aren't melodies, they're ostinatos. There's no phrase. Phrases are like the most fundamental thing about melody. Almost all the greatest melodies are written as a strong idea standalone, not just picking notes out of a chord sequence. There's a reason top-line writer is dedicated job in the pop world. Generally, chords support the melody, not the other way round. Not all music needs to be melodic, but I feel a click bait "pro melody" thumbnail needs calling out to avoid misleading beginners.

I agree with you, however, maybe your standards for this video were too high. In the intro Boris states that the concepts and execution are meant for "Getting started with making melodies" in Ableton..
@udderhippo2 жыл бұрын
@@BigKaTrob my standards are fairly low on youtube generally. My main gripe is calling any of this "pro" melody writing. He may well be a pro youtuber, but definitely not a pro musician or music educator. I don't have much empathy for youtubers making "content"/clickbait that presents itself as pro/expert knowledge.

I know this is 3 months late, but he's using an instrument rack. You're able to put multiple instruments in the same rack. He then switches between instruments in the rack.

Nothing was a melody, everything were chord arpegios, a melody Is much complex than just put arpegios, even if you do level 1 a melody Is'nt an arpegio.
