now thatsa problem i come across all the time.

like ill make a banging loop in reason or something, go to mix it down and im like wtf. this shyt isn't going anywhere, what do i do. then when i try to make it progressive, it seems to just like turn into some other sounding track and before you know it i lose touch with what i orginally started with

i think this is an area alot of researcg hasn't been done in yet. like i think that this is a form of writer block to be honest with you.

one thing that i tried to do, is record in live how i make the loop or beat in reason, then i listen to how i made the beat, and try to progress it along that same style and sound. that cna sometimes show you how to add a break down or a clymax or change up the fillins or variations. Also i try to go with the flow.

sometime ill let my fiance or a close friend mix down the loops of the track to get an idea to work off from, usually if youve been pounding a beat away for like a week or so, your ears get accustome to the sound and you really lose your creative edge, i try to work on as many tracks as possible to cut up the monotiuny (sp)

does anyone else have suggestions, cuz these tracks are really frsutrating,
