Yeah.....how do you guys do it?
I've got a lovely little riff that I'm using (nice minimal chimey reverby droplety bells) and built up a nice glitchy beat out of beeps white noise snares n kicks n ting for the first half, got the drums 90% right for the second half of the verse (?, 32 bars after the drop) but am stuck on making the melody change without taking everything out n leaving it as just drums or adding too much and detracting from the whole vibe of the intro/breakdown/first 32 bars. I've tried the old rearrange the notes and use long notes instead of the booms(ish) I've got for the bass in the first half but it still sounds weak. I don't wanna rinse the intro noises again (koto/strings/flute combo) as they are the second breakdown and it just sounds a bit dull to me if there's no change. Been working on it since fri and keep going in circles but never making progress. Any tricks that you guys use? If you wanna hear it PM me and ill send you a sexy lil exported version of the project so far.
Cheers x
