How to avoid looping too much?
« on: February 19, 2016, 04:49:02 am »
One of the song I'm working on has one of the leads loop 3 times, and if I change it in any way it sounds off, how can I fix this?

Would you be able to provide a reference?

It depends on a lot of variables, what genre, etc.

Perhaps you could add another ride, clap or snare to the 3rd loop? Add another synth to change up the sound? Change the bass melody? Off-beat bass or pan some toms. Just throwing random ideas out there

is this for the drop?

how many bars is your loop? what are you changing? the melody?

Study some porter robinson's tracks. His music is repetitive but not boring at all.
No, try again.
