Step 3: Harmony
Harmony establishes the mood of your song. Make it in a minor key and you'll probably make it sound dark. Make it a major and it'll probably sound brighter.
To make it, start with your bass. You'll want to align most of your notes with your bass. Keep it consistent.
For the notes themselves, just copy and paste the bass and move it 1 or 2 octaves up.
Then, like you did previously with the bass, move the notes in front of the first half of the measure up or down for some of them.
If you do that, make sure it transitions into the next measure, so try not to jump octaves.
Now this next part is where it starts to be less easy. Still easy, just less.
You need chords. Now if you're reading this then you probably don't know how to make chords, so I'll tell you.
To make chords, take the note you have, then skip one or two light lines.
(If you don't have your key guide on, which you seriously should, just cut the percussion, click "Auto Detect" and paste the percussion back in.)
Just do that twice and you'll have a triad. I suggest a maximum of 4.
Once you're done, it should sound like this.
