I've been trying out the song a week thing since new years and it helps to have a little bit of a schedule for example mine this month is:
sunday - write out elements for sound design
monday - make/sample - Kick and snare(muscle)
tuesday - make/sample - riders(hats, toms, ride, etc)
wednesday - make bass
thursday - make pad and lead
friday - make chord progression, then jam!!! this is the best part, playing sounds, making clips and scene, (One of my main reasons for working with ableton)
saturday - arrangement and fills and transitions
- if you plan out your song frequency wise in the sound design stage everything should work well together
- Im going to try switching the order of the days each month
