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

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...

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

Actually, it's all Reason synths.

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