I've never heard of a dance producer composing on paper

all I've seen so far is people mucking around with sequencers

i think they just play aroudn and then they find the right beats and stick with them

the first few minutes may be very disornating...remember to stay clam and focused...insticts could play a very important part here...so trust us..

when I think of a riff or a beat or anything that may sound good i write it down, usually by notes and on a scale and all since I took music for 4 years, but thats the extent of the writing.. the rest is all trying new stuff, messing around with sequences, adding more layers, etc..

ok...i think i get it

im a producer and for me coming up with a tight beat or a sweet melody is a matter of fulling around with my software and a matter of time. when i think of a beat i usilly forget it. the only way a have any songs done is because i site there for hour tweeking stuff. when you say that "it took dj tiesto or matt darey a while to come up with writing this song" they most likelyare just tweeking stuff
