Question: I love music and I would love to make it and maybe become a music composer. However I do not know anything about music theory or anything. I can't play any instrument or so.

How can I learn to make nice melodies? I cannot make even simple ones. I want to make genre like [Big Room House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_house) or [Drum and Bass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_and_bass). Is it possible for everyone to learn to make nice melodies? How can I achieve that? Please help me. Thanks!

It always sounds in my melodies like they are not in sync with other instruments and no matter what I do, even if I occasionally create a kinda good sounding melody, I cannot make any upcoming sequence or next sequence for it so it always sounds the same.

Answer: 
Good answers here. These are my two cents:

* Know who your favorite producers are. Have a good sense for what you love and what you don't. Sometimes knowing what you don't want is more important than knowing what you do want.
* Do your homework - read everything you can about your favorite producers. Through interviews, you will gain insight into their technical process, as well as their artistic process. For instance, Flume has stated for his first album, he only used Ableton stock plugins + sylenth (synth) and one compressor vst. He has also stated he spends hours digging for drum samples. So everything he makes is based on samples + ableton plugins + sylenth.
* Learn how to sample. Learn how to sequence samples together to make a coherent musical sentence. Learn how to dig for good drum samples - some of the best people spend hours online doing this. Start listening to music with an ear for what to steal. You have the history of modern music at your fingertips, so stand on the shoulders of giants.
* Learn how to sequence drum grooves. If your sound selection is A+, you can get away with quantized rhythms. Listen to your favorite producers, chances are their drums have a cool rhythm. Find similar sounds, emulate.
* Learn how to layer sounds. If you want to thicken a sound, find something else which goes well on top of it, either a sample or a synth.
* Whatever software you choose, learn the tools well, understand why you use sends, automation, etc.
* Finally, be patient. Guys like Flying lotus, Flume, Baauer, Skrillex, Breakbot all took anywhere from 6-10 years to release something under their current incarnation, so don't worry if it takes time. As long as you love doing it, you'll be fine.
Funny you are 18, since this is exactly the same age I started getting to production. Prior to this I was into DJing. At age 19 (sophomore year), I realized that my music sucked, my music was not cohesive, and basically everything you just described as being your problem.

My solution? I enrolled in a Music Theory Fundamentals class at my college, which changed everything. Not only did it teach me the fundamental theory needed to actually make "good" music (rather than doing trial-and-error and "wasting" a LOT of time), but it exposed me to classical music. That semester I stopped producing and started composing for classical; never went back to production (although I have been thinking about it recently; deep house has become very enjoyable for passive listening). That was 10 years ago.

So, to answer your question: in order to get "better", you will need to put **time and effort** into learning music as a language. If you are prepared to do this (I think you are...) then find a theory book somewhere. And, yes, learning theory will require you to learn how to read music. It really isn't as difficult as you think.

One thing that is over the top but would be **EXTREMELY** beneficial to you is to buy a used digital piano (200-600 bucks) and take piano lessons for at least a few months since you never played an instrument before. This will expose you to what it is like to actually "play" an instrument, rather than program notes/sounds into your software. (Also, it is a lot faster to play notes into your software than having to click and type them in).

Hope this helps you.

EDIT: Oh and in case it hasn't already been stated, the obvious other piece of information is you will need to listen and analyze the music that you want to produce. You like DnB? Listen to a lot of it, and see if you can find samples and midi files or something so you can actually look at what other producers did.
