... honestly it seems like the majority of the time the magic sauce is chorus and reverb.

@muirinnmac ye it bops. apparently that guy has like 8 years of experience in fl studio :bunhdaww: i only make stuff real sporadically. its very painful to do it. without any real fundamental music training its kind of a grind to figure out how to get the melodies to cooperate with everything underneath them.

@icedquinn there are a few short books out there you could have a look at about harmonising, but really it’s all down to what sounds good. Having no training isn’t a hindrance, and with more practice it’s gets quicker.

@muirinnmac consensus seems to be that its much easier to layer from a beat to a melody than the other way around.one nonblob mentioned even creating all of the beats in one pass before moving on to bass etc. they said if you do the drums for each part then you already have compatible variations ready to go otherwise you can end up getting stuck.apparently its real common for composers to go melody downward. which becomes absolute hell because that melody might not actually obey any kind of time scale to even sync a beat to. (i do find this makes much better songs tho)

@muirinnmac learning a scale too is probably a big thing. the deluge can lock to them (but only the most common ~4 kinds) and only show valid notes. but to get away from 'programming' music in the most tedious way you kinda have to internalize which notes are allowed.i've done both recording from midi and trying to key stuff in. it always takes fucking ages to get the piano roll pencil to do the whole segment and the inspiration is dead by then :blobcatdead2: trackerheads do it somehow. i think, though, that they actually don't. most trackers let you record during playback and i think they actually only type the beat and play the melody via qwerty
