How? Well, first before I get to my question/main point of the thread, I didn't know how to make good drums or where drums where suppose to hit.
Sup - I've been practicing producing for nearly a year now coming in March, but only a month, maybe two ago I've felt my beats have been sell able, decent whatever. Sorry for the book, I'm sick of struggling and just want to step up to the next level. I saw a video of Southside making a beat muted and I'm pretty sure it had a good melody, because these guys know exactly what to punch in, so what's that? I'm at the point where I'm sick of it, everyone makes it seem so easy because I'm sure it is, but almost a year into it now and I'm wanting to step up and make this work, but what can I do to understand this secret to melodies? What do I need to know? Playing by ear is great and you can only get so far - actually, speaking of that. How do they do this? What notes go together? What do I need to learn? I've tried music theory, I bought a MIDI controller piano, I've been told intervals okay, cool but I still don't understand enough, so I don't get it, lets take this song here: I don't mean this in a negative way, because the song is great, but all it is, is a balance of ascending a descending notes but I still don't get how they know what notes go good, how do they know? The question is - I hear these minor melodies over beats and the melody is pretty simple, most of the time.
Like I said I feel doing that is probably not the way everyone else does their melodies, anyways. So I just based the melody (which mine where really simple) around my chord progressions and I was able to do this for some time until I ran out of scales that eventually ended up always making new beats that sounded something too similar to the last beat I'd finish which concludes with me making this thread and asking this question, but before I'm asked why can't you just make melodies based around chords and erase the chords, well. I just learned chords and how to make a chord progression in a key, then obviously you need a melody to go with the chord most of the time.
