my advice id have the one melody playing then just harmonize it,
2 melodies playing at the same time wont sound right
but if you harmonize like rank-1 youll be fine. go to google and type trance midi i forget the site but theres this site where you can examine midi and youll see what your doing wrong. |

valdeski ,what your talking about is playing your main motif or main melody for 16 bars or 8 bars then harmonizing it with your (hook or motif) as long as your in the same key youll be fine. |

well m8 thats what iam trying to do at the moment and realy it is a good one to work melodies but only on the same chords.
the problem going for me is i have a melo for 8 chords when i do a diff notes for it ok it goes well but when i do a melo for the first 2 chords and want it to go for the rest of the chords it dont work except for the first 2 only what i want is to start the track with this melo then i do the main one then play both together its almost in every trance track |
Holy run-on sentence with an average of four letters per word and no punctuation! Your monosyllabic vernacular is making it difficult for me to understand your situation.
Also, if it's in almost every trance track it might be a good idea to take a step back and discover something unique. |

| a sample of what you have already would be useful to hear what your talking about. |

FL has "pattern mode" and "playlist mode"
a variety of methods exist for mixing samples and elements.
You can add the samples via cut/copy/paste functions to add a pattern into the pattern mode. If using the same instrument for multiple memories if you 'right click' and select 'clone' a duplicate of your intrument or sample will appear underneath the previous one and you can then add your second melody to that instrument. Alternatively using PIANOROLL if your version of fruity supports it, you can add more than single notes in the note sequence window - the one with the tabs you click on.
In pattern mode you can also, and what people commonly do, just add layers of patterns. That is you have different melodies represented ONLY in a pattern, or a group of patterns that always occur with one another.
There is also a "sample" option in fruity which allows you to paste a sample in the pattern sequencer at the point it appears in, so fruity has multi track sequencing capabilities that way.
There is EVEN more than this in fruity by use of VST/DX plungins etc.. which may also be samplers or sequencers, but that is far to complex/lengthy and infinite to go into detail about.
You can also render your samples from a VST instrument and use a sampler ...
anywho
IMO the easyway is cloning.. I almost always have each pattern whole, cloning my instruments and writing every single note... while 99.9% of people using fruity generally use block patterns then mix it in the pattern sequencer. I've only encountered a few people that write in fruity like me (although I have on occasion written the other way.. it feels way to slow for me though I like keeping a continuous flow and sound when I write, having to plan pattern by pattern rather then transer my thoughts is more complex, and i tend to think in movement... but that is a whole different story.
Using piano role is the best way .. you can use cut and paste, if the two pattens are different sizes just duplicate.. alternately you can use the pattern sequencer.
This should be enough to go on. |
man iam not after fl fuctions i know most of them |

| Talking about two melodies, what do you call a harmonic melody that's on top of another (higher octave)? I found a word for it once!:o |

There's no way that I know of to teach something like this (outside of some music theory courses that I know nothing about). You create a melody, and then create another that sounds good with it over the top of the original. Don't take the road of creating one, then creating another, then trying to mold them together. (Unless, of course, you're talented enough to know what will work beforehand.)
Post a sample of what you've got thusfar.
Stop saying 'melo', it doesn't make you cool.
Anyway, what I'm hearing in the sample you posted I'll equate to the following: First section is like a rhythm guitar part with chords and regular timing, second section is the lead guitar that plays more freely and with more expression. Don't think of the first 'rhythm' part as an outright melody, it's more of a backup, as you find out when the song continues and the main melody plays over it. If you put yourself in that mindset you'll find yourself creating a song that gains that expression as it progresses.
Just my thoughts. :) |
