thanks for not only the theory tips, but also including psychology tips too! sometimes its our mindset, not our musical knowledge, that becomes our biggest roadblock :)
Some good tips here. I really like writing melodies over chords/bass and drums. Write one idea, listen and tweak. Then move that clip and write a second melody; usually the second one is better, but the first one creates inspiration and opens my mind. I’m also always thinking/writing in the shower... I think the running water distracts and relaxes your mind of stress and the world around you. I think working near my fishtank helps too because of the running water. I really think the noise is what helps to trigger the creativity. Sometimes listening to a song and writing over it helps me too. I pull inspiration, emotion, and energy from the song and use it to write my own melody (not copying the original song, of course).
bro thank you so much for this video, i was struggling a lot with making melodies and i literally just sat at a piano for like an hour trying to force myself to come up with something and nothing did. The mindset/mental part after the production tips for making the melodies was insanely helpful for someone like me struggling.
I'll spend hours someday trying to write melodies but nothing works. Then like one day when I'm supposed to be studying or doing something important i'll hop on ableton and write straight up gold in like 5 minutes then spend precious study time fleshing out the ideas.
@@ashFB2B Thanks, I already know what relative keys are (learned it in a Virtual Riot stream haha). So A Minor chord progression with a C major pentatonic melody on top?
Man, This is great! If I have a song that inspired me of chords and melody, and I also have a genre, style that I want to comeup with. In this case, should I hear songs with similar chord vibes, or songs with the similar production style?
the YOU FACTOR
Awesome video but what is the outro song?
@@octopath480 unreleased jam from my projec Nah Mean ;)

id argue that sometimes mindset is even more important cuz thats the stuff that really improves you as a producer
dude i ALWAYS come up with crazy ideas in the shower
then I just forget em as soon as I step out
that's what i'm saying. white board in the shower
he sounds so relaxed and chill compared to the new videos where he yells a lot more lol, love your videos man!

Bruh that YOU factor thing is golden wtf
I've made my best melodies through "IMPROVISATION" listen to backing tracks and just go with the flow.
Super helpful!
Me who grew up on pop punk, emo, and math rock but only wants to write chiptune: "are you...my new best friend?!"
not a phase!!!
Your videos are so entertaining and helpful
use C major since it shares the exact same notes as A minor :) (they're relative keys which is a topic i'll go over in another video)

@@octopath480 yes!
Thank you so much Ash! Love the preset btw! Do you have it online somewhere?
what kontakt u used on making piano melody?
i dont use kontakt for my pianos
Man, This is great!

exactly!!
@@ashFB2B what do you mean?
I tried pulling my phone out to make voice notes while in the shower, like you suggested 6:04 and it didn't turn out well.
u should make a vid on the porter male to female vid using little alter boy
pitch up 12. play with formant until it sounds 𝔠𝔬𝔬𝔩
Hi Ash :3 thanks
very interesting video indeed :)
great vid! what's up with the border showing up and going away repeatedly though? not a big deal but kind of distracting
i don't have too much but only you sensi.
ganpi ❤😍😍😍
Nurture album was very not sad boi. It’s more studio ghibli and uplifting
yeee i made this video before nuture even came out
@@ashFB2B it’s still extremely great. Do an updated nurture please
I wouldn't recommend getting ideas through driving
yes. you're right. don't open up ableton while driving
