Looking to get an idea of how others put together their drop arrangements. Do you start off with bass samples and edit/shify them around? Do you always bounce your audio, or do you keep your VST & midi notes in place? One method I've tried a few times is slicing up bits of a bass line and throwing them into slicex or maschine, and jamming out until I get something interesting. It's fun, and I thing I get different results than I would by hand editing the stuff happening in a drop. Anyone else use this method? What do you guys do?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the positive feedback. I'm pretty sure the break beat was a loop that I sliced up. Seemed like a good place for it!
Thank you for the SC follow as well. Followed back
