Smoking ..umm..something Melody Showcase.

I happened to notice the absence of a melody topic here.

If you have any melodies you would like to show off or get critique on, drop them here. Listening to other's material is also a good source for inspiration.

Here's a few of my own I've recently made.
4 melodies on one .mp3 sample, all with 2 variants each.

Excuse the slight hardstyle-ness of these ones, I'm just liking the patterns at the moment.

I really like this melody, although, I don't think you hit it right with some of the key changes. This melody has the potential to be bigger. Keep it up!

You really fuss this much over a melody? A melody is like a concept, a rough design, takes a few minutes maybe to hammer out; most of the work is in the variations, modulations, and all of the accompanying harmonies and rhythms - the implementation, so to speak.

There are pretty simple guidelines for a good melody; stay in key/mode (or follow standard modulations), use more small intervals than big leaps, have some idea of what your chord progression is going to be and make sure you include consonant notes (unless you really know what you're doing).

I'd say the third one might have some potential, notwithstanding the supersaw which I thought died years ago, but it all depends on what you do with it. The others are totally undanceable and sound vaguely VGMish (IMO).

Maybe I just hoped it was dead.

This looks suspiciously similar to the thread I made not long ago that got 0 replies...

It was called inspirational clips, reqesting pretty much the same thing

Speaking of which, here is a song i made in november or so of last year, its pretty spiffy i think: http://tindeck.com/listen/nyxx

The way you word things is more important than the content a lot of the time.
