so i have come to the fruition in recent months,that the arrangement of a song, is just as importing as writing the chorus, the verses, the melody etc.

and you may wonder, wait lovehate isn't everything you just mentioned part of a arrangement ?

yeah of course it is, but there's another expect that takes just as much time to master, something that i have overlooked and i am sure many others have as well..

in electronic dance music its so much more about.. (in my opinion) taking that 8/16/32 or whatever bar loop you created and turning that into a entire song, through the use of automation/modulation/ and production tricks. and there's really no easy way to do it, because its just a integral part of the creative process..each song and each section should be unique in itself to tell a story and to keep the listener on thin ice..

you can just as easily use the same pitch shifter/ snare rolls/ white noise / in every single track to create tension and energy if it works , but i think having your own distinctiveness is what separates a great song from one that gets lost in the haystack.

so how do you rebuttal this if you are facing a similar roadblock like myself? i am ready to hear any advice you fellow Ta'ers have although ultimately i am aware you just have to twist every knob , and just do it yourself.
