My Melodies are too complex?

You realize it's not very easy for us to figure out what that's supposed to sound like by looking at a sequencer's piano roll, right? I would at least post a score or an MP3 sample.
Part of it looks like harmony problems to me. No common mode of Bb uses both a C#/Db and a D. And you never seem to sit on anything for longer than an 8th-note duration.
It's never "complexity" that's the problem, it's arrangement and mixing. I'd love to give more input but I'm not about to pencil all of those notes into my own sequencer to hear how it sounds.
Also, it's a little unusual in electronic music (and even most classical music) to be arranging 5 or 6 voices in the same instrument. |

some people just like simple melodys but your dosent look too complicated.
I've seem melodys that are far more complicated than yours.
I like a decent bassline and a complicated melody,it's how it all fits together that makes it stand out. |

| quote: | all the melodies are 8 bars in the key of Bb flat and use the following progression I,VI,IV,V
the first one changes chord every 2 bars. |
who the cares? use your god damn ears next time. the problem probably isn't that it's 'too complex' (you self richous pos... think ur melodys are too complex for trance huh?), the problem is probably that it just sucks. whether it's complex or not. how can it be 'too complex' anyway? to me thats just another way of saying sucks. just make it less complex if thats the problem... |

| Either create a basic melody and a busy bassline e.g. triplets or a complex melody and a off beat to stop each other interfering??? |

| I don't hear anything "too complex" even by trance standards. I will say that it sounds a bit circusy and unnatural. It sounds like you just picked a bunch of notes and threw them on the page. That doesn't work all that well when writing music. |

| yeah nothing too complex.. its just cheesey is the problem. i like the first bar of it, but when it goes into the second half it enters CheeseVille. I'd just work with the first half of it. |

Lol:haha: well the sound your using is pretty hilarious, it reminds me of one of those old merry go rounds (sp??) so NEVER USE IT AGAIN.
That aside, the actual concept isn't bad, but your just hitting notes at random and not thinking about what your doing, or listening to what it sounds like.
If you were listening you would probably be repeating stuff to actually make it coherent and definately not using such an "odd" scale(yes its not that strange but its not working here). It worked for Bach yes, but your organ's not as big as his. your on the right track though, just keep practising.
Oh yeah, and like everyone else said, listen to what your doing! |

The melodies just need a better synth and a good driveing bassline to make them sound better.
It sounds cheesy becouse of the synths you have used, use a harder synth and it will sound 100% better.
Send me the midi files and i will show you what i mean :D
