I usually use a combo of A, D and F.. or E, B, and G.. or C, E, and G.. but A, D, and F always sounds best to me but it also depends on what the instrument or music style is..

I usually get a baseline first, then fit the melody around, basses are more simple and one note at a time so there you got ur idea for your melody and start adding pads, guitars, pianos or whatever over it with chords and harmonies and go from there.
How would you say your grip on music theory is and how much of a necessity do you feel it is to have that background to know how to place chords and maneuver your way around they keyboard when improvising lines or whatnot? Or would you say it's less to do with theory and more to do with something else (and therefore someone saying they do not a have sufficient theory background is a BS excuse for not being able to create dope music?)
Go to the Piano Roll "in FL Studio"
activate the ghost notes
go to the chords section in the piano roll and choose scales or chords"Minor or major'
choose a key ABCDEfG and click on the one you want
open another channel with a vst
finally make melodies following the ghost notes
this is the easy way, the hard way is to learn music theory wayching tutorials on youtube.
good luck.
I don't know why people over complicate things so much, especially edm producers for some reason. I usually just play stuff on my midi (or even computer) keyboard until I create a melody i can run with. I can then base all the other sounds in the beat off of that one melody I created. You'd be surprised how many songs and beats are produced this way. Don't be fooled into thinking it's necessary for you too learn guitar or piano to make good music.
