#1 Way to Stay in Key When Writing Melody

Most of the producers nowadays started producing without learning any music theory knowledge. Hence, when we are new to writing music, we may write melodies which may not sound melodic together as they are both in different key.

I have found a tip or trick in FL Studio to help you to be in key while you are writing music without even memorizing the scales.

Steps:

1. Open up a sampler channel in the pattern window

2. Open the Piano Roll

Right click Sampler -> Click Piano Roll

Melody%204

3. Click the Stamp icon

A list of scales will appear after clicking it.

“Alt + V” is the shortcut key for this function.

8. Write melody by referring the ghost notes
