Right, I am at a not unique stage in that I have 40 seconds
of a track I have complted. However the difference this
time is that I am looking forward to continuing with it, but
herein lies the problem.

I have the percussive sounds I want to use sorted out (hit
samples etc.), I have the sythns I want to use sorted out,
I have an idea of how I want the main part of the track to
sound. The problem I have is when I try to tidy it
up...introduce a beginning...work on an ending it is
changing the vibe of the track.

How do the rest of you do it?

I don't think I could do that...I need shit to turn out the
way I feel it. I know it sounds stupid but the stuff I do
is a part of what I am at that particular time. I don't
have ANY theoretical music knowledge, training or anything,
so everthing I do is just based on what I am feeling.

HeLp!

I usually switch between melody and rythm so that I'm always
working on something fresh. You could try sequencing the
skeleton of your song and then fleshing it out afterwards.

I usually get the vibe down, and then once I have it, I just
work in linear time, adding, retracting things as I go

I hve tried the skeleton thing before it doesn't work. I am
shit with melodies because I am a drum head, so I try to fit
the melody around the pecussion. Nothing works. I should
just jack the whole shit in.

connect, with wires (audio and data), as many of your own
orifices to as many of the computer's inputs as physically
possible.

whatever you feel, the computer feels
whatever the computer feels, you feel

or just copy someone else. *shrugs*

I'll try that wires thing now. Should be good for a laugh
if nothing else.

Have a drum or melody intro???

Keep embellishing your drums endlessly then. Get some
variations, breakdowns, buildups, whatever works. Fill your
screen with content. :)

It's a melody intro...I have stopped moaning and just tried
to get on with it. It's hard though :(

I usally save the intro until last really, just try to
ignore it and get on with another part of the track.

I usually have some inspiration by that time.

try to incorporate something completely different, my tracks
always ended up too monotonous.

Woo I'm up to a minute and a half outline...I think my
record is about 2 minutes...I WILL FINISH THIS ONE.

Excellent. I want to listen when you give birth to the
finished version.

next time before you post a thread like this :

1.if you're shit with melodies get a mate who is not and
work with him [or not]
2.apply brokephones' advice [or not]
3.give your track some time - then after a while you'll know
by yourself what's missing
4.get independent and do whatever you like [or not]
5.good luck

all i do is try whatever feels right for the track and once
i get bored (or feels like it not working) walk away from
it for a while and try again

not the best advice but it seems to work for me
