Hey,
This may be a dumb question (wouldn't be a first for me...), and I realise everybody goes about stuff different ways...but
when you are in the process of initially writing your groove in loop mode, what length do you write it over?
a lot of the techno i listen to, the basic pulse is over 1-2 (ie you can count to that real easy), then you also have stuff (usually top end) that works over 1 - 4
so is it at all important to do this in any order of priority? it would seem best to me to nail the 1-2 first, then double the length - i guess my question really is how much do you keep doubling it, do you ever write more groove elements to work over 1-8?
thanks for any advice...
