-- Weird melody?

Weird melody?

Hey, I've been working on this melody for the past few days. It's started to grow on me, but I'm not really sure if it's even good.
Is it worth making a track out of this? Or does it sound too weird?

Thanks. How do you mean? Melody wise or sound wise? Can you be more specific?

maybe use 2 octives..randomize some of the notes a bit to give it that nice flow so everything doesn't follow the same notes..use a uniqe sound that people will remember the song by.. of curse these are just my suggestions..jsut some ideas you coud try out..

and a trick that i use that 95% of the times works:..
if you don't know how to use the black notes or if you want to move the song up or down a pitch higher try moving all the notes "3 notes" up or down..(count the black notes as well) it always surprises me how it changes the whole mood of the song..

i hope i helped a bit

cheers

This is incredible man, good job. Both the melody and sound is great. Dude, keep me posted.


oh, and i wouldn't change anything.

thought it was great. might just want something at the very end of the melody. A note change that really pulls the emotional chord...hard to explain what i mean as i have no music theory whatsoever.

Really good though. would like you to pm me when this is done...

not bad at all!

i'm assuming it is Virus you're using? not bad! Like the chord progression and melody.

Great start, finish it!

not bad !

I'd raise a few note here and there from minute 1.06 to 1.10
good start keep going...!

Thanks guys, I will definately make a track out of this. I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

Actually, it's all Reason synths.

There's nothing all that weird about this melody. It's actually rather moving. Keep it up.

beautiful!

Sounds bloody fantastic, mate
This is the kind of melody and harmony I'm missing in today's epic trance.


Posted by Fledz on Feb-18-2007 12:45:

The pads are fantastic

As for the lead...it's so close to being great, yet it's not. There's just something missing.

I say keep going and see what you can do

In that case this thread should be quoted whenever people criticise the sounds that Reason is capable of

You should also direct them to a certain artist called Daniel Kandi.

lol!!! Put that in you Virus Pipe and smoke it all you Reason Blasters!!!

Not that I endorse or use Reason. It's just funny how people here say it's a toy and your nobody unless you got a Virus but yet people can bang off some pretty cool stuff with so-called toys!

But seriously that's very nice dude...
Very Above & Beyond / Rank-1 'ish.
Is that the intro to something that's gonna kick in or is it to continue on in a more mellow/euphoric manner?


Posted by B_man on Feb-20-2007 02:12:

Yep... people who bash valid tools like Reason deserve this backlash. I don't use it either, but recognize it's worth.

BACK ON TOPIC:
Wierd!?! What's wierd... It sounds like ATB breaking to tears with Rank1 setting the flight path.

Basically, this is a quality wheel of cheddar... err... make it a wheel of havarti, I like it.

Sounds solid to me. I would like to here where you're taking it.
