Hello Everyone....
First of all, i'm a complete newbie when it comes to music making so if my question is a bit lame please excuse my ignorance but i'm here to learn and i'm hoping somone will help me.
So here we go...
How do you guys make your melodies/ Rhythms? I try using the Piano Roll but i find it very hard to write down the notes on it. What i do most of the time is Place one Long note on the piano roll and then use the chop function and than randomise those notes. Once this is done, i move the notes around for like AGES and even then i don't get the melody in my head down on paper if you can say that. Its very frustrating.
I waste so much time just shifting things around, its killing me!!
Do you guys have any suggestions? Any tips on how to use the Piano roll more effectively? Books i could read on how to read music? (i think i need that), Midi Keyboard? but these things are so bloody expensive and i can't afford to spend that kind of money so soon in my learning days. or do i have to? Is there something cheap available or do any of you guys want to donate one to a poor old student?
Can anyone help? Please......
Thank You!
