NitroMonkey Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi generic, let me respond generically. Google it?

yizzle Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 do you mean 4 beats to a bar? as in, are you trying to get out of a time signature that goes 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 or do you want to slice your samples that are 4 bars long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means he keeps writing loops that are 4 or 8 bars long, and is having trouble going from that to an arranged track with some variation in it. I tend to start with a loop. Once I think it sounds cool I'll copy it and then add/remove elements out of it, and tweak parameters on the existing elements. If you listen to most dance tracks, they follow a similar pattern. As practice, try load a track you like into a channel in your DAW, and follow a similar arrangement to the track. To transition between loops, you'll probably want some one-hits and fx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than adding or taking something always 4 or 8 bars apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
