Hey, im training music production in LMMS and im having a hard time putting in the idea for the melody i have in my head onto the piano roll. I have some questions,
Do you have to figure out what key your melody is in prior to laying it out or can you just lay it in a random key and then rearrange the notes into a different key that you prefer?
If you want to know what key your melody is in, how can you figure that out? Sometimes i hum it out the root note or play it out as piano in my head but i get confused as to what note matches that note.
Further, what advice do you have for someone like me? I already learnt music theory, now i want to practice laying out melodies, chords and beats ( im alright with chords and beats, melodies are currently the issue ) before i move on to manipulating synths and stuff.
