How to Create Beautiful Melody and Harmony in Ableton Live 9

This really is sort of an obvious thing, however if I stumbled up on the understanding I completely awakened.

I generally begin creating a tune by listing into a piano patch. Simply to find a few notes moving.
For all those of you create melodies by simply singing, then you are going to have to really play your melodies to live in order for this to be on advantage.

Once you've your melody, repeat the trail, and place a "scale" midi result onto it. Then select each of the notes that are unread and then haul them down or up four half steps (a period of a 3rd).

Theory wise there is some stuff to spell out but knowing the theory you understand we're simply pulling on the notes towards the closest chord tone. For people that do not understand a lick on theory, the sum you haul it up or down wont necessarily be the very same. In case you are mad starts on the 5th of this chord, then dragging up it 4 will probably just cause one to some 7th, once you will need to receive all of the way around a 8th.

The scale plug understands all of the difficult stuff for you, but be sure to put in your ears. You can now scatter the melody line and also learn the notes into the stability, as opposed to halfass faking-it.

You should take advantage of this way to create harmonized leads and such as, but also to me the principal benefit of experiencing the 2 separate monitors is having the ability to solo out them and learn them separately, otherwise you might only throw a chord plug the market with all the scale and be finished with that.
