A big criticism of my tracks amongst others is that they have no melody. I think if I nail the melody it would improve my tracks.
So how is melody created effectively? Leads... chords.... I gather...but is it best to have an alternate melody to the bassline (but manage to keep it in key) or have one following the bass, but say at a higher octave?

Arpeggiators play a big part I gather also...but I struggle to get the right sound.
Any bros got examples of good melodies, and how they were created?
Many thanks.
