MELODY TUTORIAL FL STUDIO | How to Make a Good Melody | Hardstyle Melody FL Studio Trance Melody

In this video I will show you how to make a good melody very easily! Let's use some basic Nexus pluck presets to create the melody. You can always use any sounds you like. We're going to make a nice and serious hardstyle or trance melody.

In my head I picked the A minor scale, so I know which notes I can use. First, I draw some simple notes, trying to make them tell a nice story. Of course, these notes follow the A minor scale. When you do this, try to fill in the next logical notes each time you draw a note. Try to really FEEL it. Use your ears and emotions. It's still very basic, but just listen to the story it's telling. It loops well and it FEELS right.

So far so good. Let's continue to work with this, fill it up and make it more interesting. Again, listen to what sounds RIGHT. Try to FEEL it. Does it sound pleasing? Does it loop well? Does it sound logical?

Making half-note jumps (within the musical scale) often make a melody sound more serious. Good melodies usually show some logical patterns. This melody is a good example of that. There are always variations, but look at the trend that's appearing. It's almost like building a house or making a drawing. It still sounds right and it really looks logical. This is a good musical loop.

Now, when you have a nice musical melody loop, you can search for variations. This creates more traction, it makes it sound more dynamic.

What is your mind saying when you hear the melody? When you practice in your mind, you automatically search and create logical melody "emphasizes". Play it in your head and try out different melody variations. Use your intent.

Do this emotionally, not intellectually. Your mind will automatically fill in what triggers you emotionally. How "cool" can you hear it? How "dark" can you hear it? How "euphoric" can you hear it? Imagine you're at a big party and you hear this melody. What would really make it epic for you? That's what you need to look for in your mind. Can you dance to it? How's the rhythm feeling?

Imagine it, attach your feelings to it and you will get an experience how to enhance the melody you're creating. If you take this practice really serious, you WILL hear melodies in your head and you WILL get a feel of what's right and wrong.

Now let's give this melody a lower layer. The lower layer carries the melody. The notes of the lower layer and upper layer should be part of the same chord. So in this case, at each 4-beats jump a new chord begins. You can learn more about chords and chord progressions in my How to Make Chords in FL Studio video.
