Try to work 'lenghtwise' as soon as possible......stacking bits onto an 8 bar loop going round and round is lethal. Just because a loop built up without a song context sounds cool does not automatically mean it will easily turn into a song/track of actual music.

If you don't think about and build up towards a streched dynamic progression of some kind early, be it a pop verse chorus thing or a trance journey, you'll find a lot of the time that your 'cool loop' waters down and dies as you try and force it into an arranged state.

Go as much lenghtwise and not heightwise as you can.....
