Dont know if this will help, but what i have started doing is getting all my parts together first and by muting them ect.. working out the arrangement and putting it on paper so i have a good idea of where it is going, then when you do come to map it, it is alot faster and you dont get as bored and before you know it the track is finished.

Give a go, it worked 4 me!

yeah thanks ABNSYNTH

i'll give that a go!

try listening to some of your favourite tracks then writing down in notepad or something what happens at each time eg,

0:00 kick
0:00-0:30 clap fades in
0:15 closed hat

etc.

i mean u will have to have your own song on the same bpm when u copy it but u can change that later, just an idea
