    The catchier melody is the chorus. The one you can't forget when you visit the shitter. Like your fav wav. Everything else is the filler you have to iron out to compliment the chorus in a sensible way.Which is where basic music theory comes in.

    I used to think arrangments were cat scratch fever until I went ahead and scratched. There's this theme that keeps coming up saying you should just try before you think up an excuse for why the whole board should just try, instead of user1389234723985723498579234875982375982375

    God damn get you some liquid courage before we all try.
     
  3. I don't know how to make a melody for the verse though, to compliment my chorus melody. When I make my patterns all I make is the chorus pretty much with drums and bass.

    So you mean you didn't do the first step to from your catchy melody to make your track, well... a track?
    This is what I mean, you can only help your self but only of you try.

    You have you have basic theory knowledge but you ask how to make your chorus not sound like a different song when it comes to your verse?

    All roads start from root note then loop back in context. Don't do the poopies that sound like shit in the middle of that.

    I realized I just made colossal typing errors trying to explain the same old shit. Just try it bro. You might like it.
     
  9. I know music theory but I still don't know how to make a melody for the verse sections. Why would that be a part of music theory? There was no verse/ chorus in classical.

    Maybe you don't always need to like I said, use chords, rhythm guitars, pads. Whatever, just that it's supportive of the vocals like I've said before. Stretch you melody into the next 4 bars and have it play halftime? So many things you could try, if you actually try. Fuck.

    Do yourself a favor and drop a vocal into your arrangement and build around that so you can see what I mean about supporting vocals. Call it practice, don't be afraid for fucks sake.

    Just try it becuase I've had my shit on loop for over an hour telling you to unloop and try doing some shit in your track while I haven't done jack shit in mine for close to 2 hours. Just make an attempt.

    No results, waiting for any professionals to give me solid advice.

    Nobody is a professional for the last time, everyone is practicing. You can't possibly be a random expecting a pro to come in here and tell you how he lives.

    Go jump through the same errors and hoops everyone does to decide if your verse comes before the chorus or nah. Or how do I pull a verse out of a chorus when I've done my basic theory when they aren't rocket science after an attempt.

    So many of your questions have been double answered. Good luck on your track ordering user209382130948230958230-95

    I'm no pro but the other dude who's been commenting makes film scores and we have both been god damn echo chambers for you this whole thread, I did my best. If Khaleds manager wants to hop in here and tell you how it's done. Then I'm more ears than you are.

    I've already said he could have uploaded the shit long ago but decided to run up a receipt full of pointless text whining and moaning without trying instead.

    In fact instead of stopping and trying any of the advice he got he just kept backpedaling and asking even more amateur questions after assuring us he has the answer then asking something even more juvenile afterwards.

    Don't believe me? Grab popcorn and raid 3 pages where he concludes how he can't make a beatttttt when a line above that he knew basic music theory.
