Summary: - put notes before the beat - separate each layer of melody to diversify plugins and effects - using automation on things like pitchbend on certain layers to tell a story - using different sounds for the different layers (tip from me: soundkits are cool for this, but taking random presets you find can help develop your own sound) - Put the entire melody into granular synthesis plugin to make it sound wavy - resonance melody - make it a bandpass on white noise with autotune and then apply distortion and reverb onto it (shimmer reverb imo is cool for this) Note from me: remember tho also less is more. Keep going Akayo, I recently got this kind of stuff taught in music class as well, you've studied your icp well lol
Melodies are exactly like stories! they have to have a theme, and also be engaging enough for the listeners to keep listening. If a book is boring, people won't read it. The same is for melodies, if a melody is boring, people won't listen to your song.
I didn't think I was going to vibe with the first melody because i thought it was too simple but those pitch bends added so much it sounded legit! Makes me think of all those times I've created a melody and started a new project after scrolling through presets instead of trying to make it come to life. I need to do my melodies justice lol
create the melody by singing and do it inside the DAW, this applies to vocal melodies themselves and instrument melodies. You don't need to use real words, just random sounds that form melodies and then, if you want, just write the lyrics over these sounds.
Love your videos, bro, I started producing at 18 in early 2019, and this whole year has been that year of absolute progress. I wrote a whole notebook full of tons of music knowledge and production, started hanging in more discord servers with other producers, giving and receiving feedback. It’s been an absolute blast, keep up the content bro.
Amazing vid bro, great editing, great ideas. Keep going you are going to make it far!! Have you thought about condensing these points into short format? I think it could give you more reach!
I love your videos and the work you do man your helping a lot of independent artists out here. making music should be fun an art and compassion everyone thinks about the destination but the journey of making something everyone can listen and love is the beauty in it keep up the work and I’d love to work with you in the future 🫡🙌🏾
I don't think that there is any formula for melodys. Because they are from the feelings that the artist or the producer had and when you grow as an artist then you dont need any formula. and when you hear the chord progression that you've made the melody gonna speak for itself and your mind and hands gonna do what they think is the best. Btw best producer/youtuber = Akayo
Nice tips but they arent about melody, its about music production. By they way how do use that noise at the end to create a meldy? can u use the midi ?
I make a sad beat. And always using piano., can you make tutorial how mastering piano sound good and soft. I hate high latency in piano melodies. Make my ear sick.. If you know Sleepless Beats their piano sound always good and nice to heard..
Hope this helped u bro. Have a good one :)
bro, this experimental content is awesome. I'd love to see more
Nah you didn't give a good one, you gave the BESTT one. I'd like to see more :D

I have to agree! Top Tier!
Melodies are exactly like stories! they have to have a theme, and also be engaging enough for the listeners to keep listening. If a book is boring, people won't read it. The same is for melodies, if a melody is boring, people won't listen to your song.
i absolutely agree that when you're making a melody, you shouldn't be making it simply for it to exist, but rather to convey a certain emotion!
its the minecraft song in the backround
Bro i noticed it too haha
It’s the jizz in the back of the throat

As much as I don’t produce your genre of music. You’ve opened my eyes to how I can approach my beats now.
Awesome advice 🔥🔥🔥
"impress your friends" what friends?

Man it’s soooo crazy creative what you did with that white noise and the autotune

Manipulating the white noise was actually so unique! Thanks!!
