I see way too many posts on here along the lines of not knowing (or wanting to learn) how to write melodies or that your song sounds really boring since theres like 3 chords playing the whole time. Producing music is not just sound design etc it also involves..wait for it... writing the music! Writing music is an art, it takes time dedication and im sorry to say but also some talent. If your songs are "boring" or you dont know how to write a beautiful melody then fucking work on it, research composition etc. Dont treat the actual content of your song as some abstract idea next to the sound design, the melodic progressions, chords etc ARE the song, But just asking on here "help i have no idea whats wrong with my song?!" When theres nothing interesting about the melody or chords is incredibly annoying because not only does it show a lack of actual commitment to the art of writing and composition it shows how fucking lazy youre being for not doing a little google search. Quit treating melodies and progressions like theyre just something you have to do in order to use this new synth you like but instead treat them how they should be seen, as the star and REASON for using that cool new synth. End rant.
