Description:

Trying to follow the "Melody and harmony for beginners" tutorial but what I have is really messy :( my wife described it as playing 4 different songs at the same time.

Comments:
Hey, someone actually made something from my tutorial! And uploaded it! At least I get to hear where my method fell short. Your wife is absolutely right for two reasons: 1) Tuning. sfxr and some samples like the bass and string are by default tuned wrong. You can replace them TrippleOscillator or Zynaddsubfx presets as they tend to all use the correct tuning. 2) Melody. I called it "Melody and harmony" even though I never explained how to write melody *facepalm* I kind of did it "by ear" and it happened to work. Some combinations will naturally sound better than others, even if you only stick to the white keys. You could try moving your string melody up 7 steps. Music is trial and error. Thanks anyway for sharing, I appreciate the feedback. Posted by: NiftySardine  on 2024-12-26 23:56:39
Oh wow, cool to hear from the creator of the tutorial, I also posted it on the forum and musicbear gave some of the same advice and I tried to correct it here: https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=23013 it's still not great but it's a lot more coherent. Can you spot anything else I can work on or point me in the direction. Posted by: the-dbp  on 2024-12-28 13:27:47
