In order for a musical composition to be beautiful and multifaceted, it must be well-arranged. The arrangement is extremely important for the final perception of the composition - any melody, even the most talented one, will not seem interesting to the listener if it is not properly framed musically. The art of creating additional parts that emphasize the main melodic line of the composition is not an easy task, and therefore the entire work of the arranger is continuous creativity.
Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to start creating arrangements, you will need basic knowledge, without which you cannot start the first stage of this work. Listen to the song or melody you need to arrange.
Step 2
Think carefully about the style of the composition - the direction of your further creative work largely depends on the choice of style. To begin with, try to harmonize the melody, avoiding monotony in creating new harmonies. Include unusual musical moves, non-standard chords and rhythm parts in the arrangement.
Step 3
Consider the peculiarities of the voice used to sing the song in your arrangement. During the vocal part, do not overdo it with the number of instruments in the arrangement - too many instruments will drown out the voice and mix up the melody. Leave all original independent melodies for solo instrumental parts in losses.
Step 4
Always pay attention to the shape of the composition - this will help maintain its integrity in the new arrangement. Maintain a rhythmic timing, count the number of parts and musical squares in the song. Determine the moment of the highest musical development of the theme.
Step 5
While coming up with gaps, keep the shape of the composition and its stylistic direction. Different tools accentuate different styles - keep this in mind.
Step 6
For recording and further mixing of musical parts, from which you put together a finished arrangement, use the Cubase program, capable of working with both audio formats and MIDI.
Step 7
Achieve the highest quality and lively sound of your instruments while recording. Write beautiful, expressive and organic parts. Do not forget to mix the finished tracks together according to the sound balance.
