  • Aslong as you had a good time its all good.. Is it very different from what your used to?

    And thank youu ^^
    Yeah, we're experiencing something of a dry spell, we'll see if and when it kicks back up again.
    But at least it's a tight-knit community.

    Well, enjoy 13 p/d while you can.
    Welcome to the forums and such.
    Your posts don't irritate me to read, and that's a plus in my book. Keep it up and you'll go far.
    Mkay, in 15 minutes, this is what I got:
    Melodyandotherstuff.org

    First, I doubled the length of the melody for which the song is named, and doubled the tempo accordingly. I tend to stay away from one-click note length unless the song is faster, because it always results in a cut off sound that is not becoming to your pretty scales.
    Afterwards, I added the chords. With your melody playing out at middle C, I thought the chords would sound like a bassline, so I put them an octave above.
    Basic music theory lesson: If you have some chords, and the higher note holds while the lower not descends, it sounds pretty and stuff. High chords at the end of a phrase sound triumphant and painful (in a good way), do them in your song.
    You're in a major chord, C major to be exact. It's what you get if you play a melody on just the white notes of a keyboard (which in fact you may have done). Stay with them always and forever until the song is done, unless you plan for a chord change.
    You could add a third note to the chord, that would sound nice. Just change the note until it sounds nice (the best way to make chords :3).
    I spent 5 minutes making a bassline, but I didn't like it so It's gone now.
    Just stick with longer notes than the melody and some gaps in between, I'm sure you'll do fine there. A mix of double and quadruple the melody's note length should sound good.
    Anything else you'd like advice on?
    What specifically do you need help with?
    accompaniment?
    the melody?
    instrumentation?
    How awful!
    Now where will we forge the dark secrets of our underground society?
